I use FF no. 39 and the very latest update from Adobe Flash. AF still crashes with any kind of video. This has been an ongoing problem for a long time. Same problem but less often with IE.

It is never an issue with Google Chrome! It plays any type of video without any problems at all. I have to copy the offending url over to Chrome to view the video. I would switch entirely over to Chrome if I didn't like FF so much. I've been a FF user for a many year's and would hate to stop using it and switch over entirely to Chrome.

Flash block {web link} Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
