Hello DavidCSchneider download the latest Flash plugin and : 1.'''Disable graphics hardware acceleration.'''

I did all of this and my system still freezes--regularly. Specifically, when I use Firefox to access BigBlueButton via Flash as a presenter, about 15-20 minutes into the presentation, audio cuts out--that is, I'm talking but nobody can hear me. When I mute and then unmute myself, Firefox inevitably freezes. So I close Firefox and log back into the conference. All of the participants are still there. Audio works for another few minutes and then the cycle repeats. I've checked my equipment--fine. BigBlueButton is working fine. It's just Flash and Firefox--a deadly combination.
