I recently upgraded Firefox and now I cannot use it if I want to watch something involving Adobe Flash because it crashes. I read your article and made sure I am up to date on all programs through Firefox check page. I reset the timeout on the adobe flash to -1 per your article. Your article states it may crash and just re-load it. I have done all your advice and it still will not run. I am now using Windows as my default browser because I don't have time right now to research this on my own and solve it. I don't know if you are aware that the fixes you suggested are not fixing the problem.

Try reinstalling the previous version of Flash - 10.1 r 102 and get rid of that 10.2 r152 version. I never updated Flash and I haven't had a problem with Firefox 4.0 on WinXP.

scroll down to

I tried what you suggested. It did not help me. Is there a way I can have you check my system to see if my setup in all areas is correct? thanks. Maria
