hi bigmamas, please see if you can resolve the problem on the plugin-check page when you go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > plugins & set the "java deployment toolkit" to never activate and then reload the page?

the latest version of flash that you should update to is Flash Player 18.0.0.194 - it fixes various vulnerabilities that are actively exploited in the wild. the update is also available at https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html - for firefox please use the windows exe-installer for plugin-based browsers.

Thank YOU so much Philipp, I've been messing with this for 3 days and couldn't find the answer on Mozilla anywhere, and virtually all vids on the net have been blocked. Your answer I THOUGHT resolved it completely, but now I'm constantly getting the error message that to either continue or stop plugin as it's hanging up each page I go to, and even on pages where no plug in, it's hanging when I type, and it flashes an opaque white screen over the page and then I can type again. Everything was fine until I updated to the latest Firefox a couple days ago. Same thing happened last time I updated a few months ago and ended up spending $$$ thinking it was my computer, but then I got it resolved and all was fine until now. Any thoughts??

I have a problem with Shockwave too... When I look at my Plugin status, it tells me I need to update Shockwave. But when I click update, it just opens a new Plugin status window with the same info. I have updated Shockwave maually and restarted Firefox twice, with no change?......
