I've been having real issues with Firefox and it's shockwave or flash plug ins. They keep on crashing. I've been deleting and re-installing the latest versions and keeps on crashing. I'm about to give up on Firefox and move on with Google Chrome. I don't know what else to do. I keep submitting the crash reports every time they happen....

Unfortunately Adobe products such as Flash and Shockwave are not fixable by Mozilla. We have a few things you can try to reduce the crashing (Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again) but it is ultimately up to Adobe to provide crash fixes.

Try the steps above and let me know if they help.

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
