So I'm using the most resent of Firefox Developer Edition and Flash Player seems to crash as soon as it tries to load any flash element. I've tried everything I can, re-installations, and such to no success. The only thing I haven't done is disabling hardware acceleration, but this is due to Flash Player crashing before I can pull up the contextual menu to do so. I even disabled any extra add-on to make sure those were not the culprits.

You can toggle this pref to true on the about:config page to disable protected mode in the Shockwave Flash plugin:

Thanks for the replay. Oddly, that value was already True, so I tried making it False and that fixed my issue. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction (^_^)/
