I'm getting ready to stop using Firefox because every few minutes i get a 'stop plug-in' message or a script error. When one of these appears everything stops and if i'm watching a video it crashes. This is happening more frequently. I never had any of these problems with IE, but i really wanted to change over to Firefox. I'm not sure how much more of this i can tolerate.

  1. You have Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0 and

Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0

  1. Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
  2. Warning Unresponsive script - What it means and how to fix it

I hope this helps.
