For a few months now Firefox has been sluggish and Adobe Flash player keeps crashing, on various websites. I have searched about this issue and have seen several other people experiencing the same thing. I have tried every possible fix posted in various topics on different websites and not a single one of them has worked. If this can't be fixed I'll just switch browsers. There really shouldn't be a reason for this to have been such a problem for so long for so many people. Obviously something is going on with either Adobe or Firefox and neither side seems to care to address it.
