Why is Flash Player still awful at interacting with Firefox?

If I try to watch a 60fps video through flash player on Firefox I can't get the 60fps I'll get something like 30-40. If I try to watch multiple videos that use flash player, flash player crashes.

I don't have this problem with other browsers.

I have GTX 580 and an i7 2600k.

hello, it might be an issue with the protected mode that adobe has introduced for its flash plugin for firefox. you could try if disabling protected mode makes a difference.

in case you'd like to troubleshoot the issue further, it would be best to contact adobe's support & file a bug report at bugbase.adobe.com (choose "Adobe Flash Player" as the product & "Browser Integration" as the product area), since they will have a better understanding of the internals of flash protected mode & therefore may know what else might be at the root of the problem you were seeing.
