Had problem after installing Flash Player 11.1.102.55. Works with 64 bit IE 9, but began to have trouble with Firefox. Previously never had a problem with Firefox. Some sites are O.K. but most will hang Firefox when I try to run a video.

Firefox on Windows is 32-bit. From what I've heard, 64-bit Flash recently took some architectural changes which may have impacted some compatibility with 32-bit browsers.

You can download an experimental 64-bit (English only) version of Firefox from our FTP site.

Note: This is a "nightly" which means that you'll get updates every day and it may be a little unstable.

Alternatively, go to adobe.com and download the 32-bit version of Flash. Then, uninstall the 64-bit version and replace with the 32-bit one. (It should work almost identically to the 64-bit version.)

Tried the 32 bit does not let you use foxtabs so I put 10.1 back on the Plugin web site say 10.1 is vulnerable to problems so will have to use IE when need the updated Flash player 11.1
