Firefox hangs everytime I try to open HboGO.com. It works in other browsers (chrome, safari). Other websites in firefox also hang - I think they also use flash like hbogo. I've tried reinstalling/updating plugins, flash, and firefox with no luck.

This has happened since I got this new Macbook air a few months ago.

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

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)
