Shockwave Flash 20.0 r0 installed but always crashes browser...in fact any page except this one crashes the browser
I am still on xp and the firefox version I am running says it is 43.0.1 It seems every page except this one is crashing the browser...why? I cannot go on my cPanel. cannot go to facebook anymore...I can ONLY get on this page and that seems ridiculous.
I have the latest flash player showing in the add-on manager but it refuses to load anything using the flash player...goes to 99% and crashes the browser...Why?

This is not a cure, but should let the web page load without crashing.
Flash block {web link} Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.
Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.
You can try the Flash ESR version.
