Ever since I installed Windows 8, Flash does not work properly in Firefox. If I visit a page which has Flash elements, I repeatedly get the error message:

"The instruction at 0x718e0000 referenced memory at 0x718e0000. The memory could not be written. Click OK to terminate the program."

This message keeps reappearing countless times when I press OK. I have tried updating Flash, uninstalling and reinstalling, reinitialising the plugin database etc.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the Mozilla Plugin Check site.

Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions. If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow Update button or a red Update now button, please update these immediately.

To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.
