Firefox 14 keeps hanging severely ever since I upgraded to the latest version of Adobe Flash (11.4).
On September 22, I got a notification to update to the newest version of Flash (11.4). After installing it, Firefox (version 14) began to hang severely on some of my favorite sites, like DeviantArt and Facebook. After trying to process things, it gave up and wouldn't respond. After booting up in Safe Mode, I turned off the flash add-on, and everything worked fine, save for the games that required flash to play. As soon as I turned it back on, the hanging and unresponsiveness came back.

I wasn't able to get to any of those sites without having serious hanging issues. I just uninstalled Flash, rebooted, then reinstalled it. Everything seems to be working fine now.

Have you tried disabling hardware acceleration?
Just turned it off. Still hanging terribly.
Does any in this reply help?

So you didn't have to downgrade the Flash player at all?
Nope, didn't have to downgrade. Just uninstalled and reinstalled.
