Hi,

I have tried every known fix to try and sort this problem out. I have very poor frame rates while streaming video. If I disable the shockwave plugin it fixes the issue instantly for youtube. However doing that, prevents me from watching streams such as twitch.tv.

I have tried disabling flash just for youtube and by doing it that way it simply prevents the videos from playing.

I have tried everything. Hardware Accelaration is off. Re-installed firefox. Re-installed flash. Re-installed graphics drivers and updated. Started in safe mode.

Nothing has worked. Please help me fix this.
