FLASH and Load Speed Issues

For a few years now, I've had loading issues. I.e., pages load really slow when the page contains any Flash. Seen many solutions, but none have worked to date - except one: disable FLASH. However, I do not prefer this solution. Not an issue with other browsers - especially Chrome. But, I much prefer FF.

hello, maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - you could try if downgrading to flash 10.3 (which is still supported) or disabling protected mode makes a difference.

I'm seem to recall trying that (at least the disabling Protected Mode one), but with no success. But it was awhile go. I'll try again. Thanks. Important as so frustrating with FLASH being so (too) common nowadays.

As an aside, can someone check the following URL to see how it looks with FF. I've had a couple people say that the styling appears askew in FF. I only use FF (although tested with all major browsers), and the page appears okay. But again, only two people who were not specific.

Cheers, thanks!

Try Flashblock. You have control over which Flash items will load, and enable them to load by clicking placeholders. It really speeds up page loading for a page with a lot of Flash ads on it.
