From Firefox I go to Centurylink for email. A warning pops up Shockwave is busy then the computer crashes; Unable to work anything. Then another warning about ad ons. I tried to reload Firefox and Adobe but that does not help. Please advise.

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

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drivers

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
