You do not meet the system requirements for the Flash 11 player (2.33GHz or faster), so you may experience difficulties.

Does the Flash 10.3 version work better for you?

That version is still supported with security updates.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?

Make sure that you've allowed the plugin-container process in the firewall.

You can try to boot the computer in Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works better.

Did you uninstall the Flash 11.3 version if you previously used that version?

Otherwise you may still have that 11.3 version installed and Firefox may be using it.
