Issues with flash games in Firefox.
Recently, I have been noticing a couple of issues with flash games when using Firefox. One of the issues is that when I switch to a different tab than the one that the game is running in, the game will become unresponsive to clicks when I return to the tab running the game; none of the buttons in the game will respond to clicks, but keyboard commands still function in the game, so it hasn't completely stopped working or anything like that. Reading some information that was provided by other people experiencing this issue has given me a workaround: go to another tab, click the F10 button, and then click on the tab with the game. This makes the work accept clicks again, at least until I switch to another tab, at which point I have to do it again. Opening the game in it's own window will usually prevent this from happening, as long as I don't switch tabs in that other window.
Another issue is that in one game (that I have found so far) even scrolling up and down and putting the game out of view of the screen causes that instance of flash to crash. I have to reload the entire page and leave the game visible in order to get the game to function at all, switching tabs while running this game causes it to crash as well.
These issues only started recently, and have not being ongoing for long. This also doesn't effect all flash games, or even flash elements in general. Both Firefox and Flash are fully updated. One of the other people experiencing this issue has suggested that these issues might be due to Firefox forcing Flash to run in "windowless mode" and this causes issues with some things that use flash. I am not experienced enough to know if this is the issue or not, but some way of solving this issue whether or not that is the cause would be very nice.

Should submit Flash bug reports to Adobe. Large changes coming in ver 57 Firefox Quantum release Nov 14th fyi. Microsoft is not keeping Windows 7 supported as it should. Large number of people running 7 have gone to ver 53 Extended Release because of various issues. fyi. Please use Adobe Flash Uninstaller get from here https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html and removes all traces of it. Then get new version of Flash released yesterday from here : https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, Win IE . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only> See if that helps. I also suggest https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration as old drivers can cause issues. Try with No Hardware Acceleration to see if that makes a difference.
