Default Firefox issues.

First of, probably not something that can be helped/fixed..but gotta take a chance somebody knows something I don't.

Ok I prefer to use Firefox, lets not get into which is better or anything, just what it is. Lately, however, it is having serious flash issues. According to everything I personally see it is running the latest Flash, etc. Started about a month ago with a flash game I was playing at the time, but now seems to crash on a regular basis now. Anybody know what is going on?

Make sure you are running updated FIREFOX itself. Sometimes it won't auto update, and that's what happens to me when it doesn't update and I keep using it.

Also make sure your drivers are updated as well. If it continues to crash, try a clean uninstall, reinstall, something may have just gotten corrupted somewhere.

If you have addons try disabling them and playing (just not the flash plugin, obviously )

There's a known issue with the current versions of Firefox & Flash. Recommended fix is to uninstall Flash and reinstall an older version.

Just remember to NOT update Flash when you get the reminder... or you'll have to re-do the reinstall (yeah, that was me. Twice.)

If your laptop with a Nvidia Quadro, the latest drivers and flash do not get along.

This. Big problems with Flash 11 on Firefox after this past update. IE and Chrome both seem to work fine on the same pages with problems, if you have to have the latest Flash version. Otherwise, as It's Me related the fix.
