So, here is my problem, I have windows 8.1 64bit and running the latest mozilla firefox. I've had a lot of problems with flash player (32bit), videos not working properly, loading very slow.. (i have fast internet, working good) then i updated flash and it totally stoped working. Resetting Firefox does not work for me. Flash player is not working at all, so i had to uninstall it. i uninstalled both flash player and shockwave player. i tried having only flash player - still not working. I've already tried these too: -Uninstalling and re-installing flash player -Uninstalling and re-installing in Safe Mode -Turning off hardware acceleration in both Firefox and flash player -i have updated all drivers on my computer

Still not working at all! WHY?

Your system details shows you have no flash player.

Update your Flash Player v16.0.0.235 https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html Shockwave Director v12.1.5.155 http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/

Of course it shows i dont have it. I said I had to completely unninstal it, because if installed it wouldn't work on ANY page. whatever page I opened, in seconds I got a message of unresponsive script... if I install it back, I can't do anything on the browser because unresponsive flash player totally freezes up firefox...

This add-on will prevent Flash from running on the web page until you want.

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

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

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

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

  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
