I got a weird problem with my Firefox. Since the 33.0 update, my Firefox usually get freeze, it means its windows is freeze and shows no difference on its windows but if I click on tabs (switch tabs) or close tabs, it shows the difference on taskbar only. However, while Firefox windows is freeze, Flash Player still work fine, i can still watch the video if I switch to tabs that have video playing. The only way to get it to normal is to end its task in Windows Task Manager and restart it. This usually happen when I watch a lot Youtube videos or sometimes spontaneously

Tyler Downer has replied to a thread you're watching. Here is their reply: Hey all, Just an update. A 0day exploit has been discovered in Flash, 16.0.0.257 and below. Adobe has released an update to 16.0.0.287 which fixes this issue. All users should update to the latest flash immediately. It isn't known how far back this hold exists, but at this time assume all versions are affected.

If the above did not help you;

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

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

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