Over last few days, maybe a week everytime I want to play video and sometimes just clicking on a page I get the adobe flash crashed symbol and/or the bar across top of screen saying it crashed (when I wasn't even using it!) I updated firefox - mozilla whatever it is and adobe flash, restarted computer several times. sent about 16 - 24 crash reports...still crashing.
