Firefox crashed randomly when loading a youtube video, and after restarting firefox no flash programs would work on the browser
I was watching a youtube video. Firefox crashes randomly. Restart Firefox Youtube videos don't load. Other websites that uses flash don't load. Tried upgrading to a newer flash, though 11.3 causes huge CPU usage for some reason so I upgraded to 11.2 Videos still do not load.

Hi,
You can try to uninstall and install Flash again. If the problem persists you can also temporarily Disable Flash in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons > Plugins and try the HTML5 videos wherever possible. Most of the videos without embedded ads have HTML5 equivalents. You can also try to open the problematic sites in IE Tab + or IE Tab inside Firefox.

Thanks the html5 solution worked.
You're welcome :) Please note that this is not an ideal solution at least until HTML5 videos become the mainstream format.
