We're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing. In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.

  1. Enter about:crashes in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.

im done with this. tried everything on all the forums and websites. reinstalled everything. tried disabling protected mode. tried running firefox in safe mode. installed extended support version of flash. still NOTHING. ive given up on firefox now because of this. has anybody actually solved this problem with flash because it seems to be a problem for a lot of people since firefox updated on jan 13. annoying thing is everything is working fine for the other user on my laptop. either way im finished looking for solutions. Good luck to anyone who has any patience left. please let me know how people get on!!
