"The Adobe Flash Player has crashed" error message is all I get when attempting to watch a video. The videos worked before.

Sorry, there isn't any direct replacement for Adobe Flash for Windows. The "future" is HTML5 Video and Audio on the web; some websites like YouTube have that as the default now, while others offer it as an option.

See this support article for possible fixes. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/adobe-flash-plugin-has-crashed

Thanks for the reply. None of the online troubleshooting tips help with my problem. The videos worked before the upgrade.

  1. Enter about:crashes in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
