Hi i have the firefox 18.0.2 problem is that on the page www.google.com/finance the flash crashes only when i'm signed into google finance and click on my symbol stock list on the left, the ones on the right work fine like any of the major indexs DJI, Shanghai or currencies they don't crash the flash chart, but the symbols i'm watching & that add to my list on the left like zynga or aapl, they crash the flash player, but only when i'm signed into my google account, i uninstalled flash with the uninstall tool, reinstalled latest version nothing, did disable all plugins and extentions still nothing the only way it worked was the solution from this link http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 firefox.exe -p and creating a test profile this way it does solve the issue, but i have so many plugins & addons installed that i don't want to keep reinstalling them with my new profile, is there a way around this since this only crashes when i am logged into my google finance account?

the main thing is without being signed in the finance page won't remember my technical indicator settings it clears all of them everytime i click a stock symbol on my left, when i sign in all my technicals remain for all the stocks

forgot to add that this will crash all my flashplayer application even in different tabs that i have open, not just the tab with the google finance page

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.

  1. Enter about:crashes in the Firefox location bar (that's where you enter your website names) and press Enter. You should now see a list of submitted crash reports.
  2. Copy the most recent 5 report IDs that you see in the crash report window and paste them into your forum response.

Thanks in advance for your help!

More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.

I can not even go to a web site with Flash content with FF 18 because it will freeze instantly, and the only way is starting task manager and killing FF. For the first time ever, FF is no longer my default browser. The last version that worked decently was 16. 17 and 18 are a nightmare.
