Have tried many versions of FF AND Flash Player but CANNOT STOP Flash Player from crashing while trying to STREAM videos to watch. Have tried all the simple fixes and they do not work. Any help?

Please update to Firefox 30, it's quite a bit more stable than 25. If you still have trouble please let me know.

The latest version of the Flash plugin should perform better and crash less often. To check if Flash is up to date, visit Mozilla's Plugin Check page. If it says that Flash needs to be updated, install the latest version manually using the steps below.

I AM using latest Flash, having checked updates, and it crashes every time I try and use it!

"Does ANY Adobe Flash work with ANY FF version w/o crashing???"

Yes. WinXP users who are running Flash 10.3 r183 on any version of Firefox have very, very few problems in comparison to Vista+ users with the later versions of Flash.

Only the Nightly development version has any Shumway preferences right now, as that project is a long way from being finished.

See this for information about Shumway: http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/ It is available as an extension now - look under Try it out!

https://github.com/mozilla/shumway/wiki If you want to help in the development of Shumway, see this page: https://github.com/mozilla/shumway/wiki/Debugging-and-Configuring-Shumway#using-the-extension

Please update to the latest Firefox 30 version. Even though the Shumway project was begun well over a year ago, Firefox 25 may not have all the "fixes" needed for the latest version of the Shumway extension.
