hi all

i have tried uninstalling flashplayer to an older version 10.6. I am using mozilla 19 currently. Have also tried acceleration tick button in options, also tried unistalling mozilla but all to no avail. Whenever i watch a video playback or sometimes add multiple tabs the adobe creates a hang which stalls mozilla and also makes it minimise to the toolbar. Around 30 secs later it then pops bak up ok again. It is then ok to use but doesnt it intermitantly regular as clockwork. How do i fix it?

Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the Mozilla Plugin Check site.

Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions. If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow Update button or a red Update now button, please update these immediately.

To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:

  • disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
  • disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
