FF auto-updated to 49.0.2. Since then, Flash is extremely slow and no longer runs games. They take a long time to load, I can't open multiple games, and they often disconnect. In game clicks take up to 5 minutes each, if they run at all. I updated Flash. I checked modem speed, and cleared my cache, files, Norton helped clear all possible other problems, and the problem persists.

It runs fine in IE.

Type about:config in the location bar and set dom.ipc.plugins.asyncdrawing.enabled to false, then restart Firefox to apply. It should fix your issue.
