Firefox has become so glitchy. Multiple times a day I have to restart the browser in order to get videos on virtually any page to play. After restart, they'll play fine for a while, and then it will happen again. Just a spinning circle in the middle of whatever video screen there is.

Flash Player just updated Version 20.0.0.267
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html Note: Windows users should download the ‘’’active_x’’’ for “Internet Explorer,” and the ‘’’plugin’’’ for “Plugin-based browsers” (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the ’’’plugin’’’ only. Not the ’’’active_x’’’.


See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
