Flash ran fine until I updated to the latest version. When trying to play a flash game the leak adds 100mb of memory usage every couple of seconds. HUGE GIANT MEMORY LEAK. other browsers are fine. Everybody with firefox is reporting memory leak problems after the update. I have a 144hz monitor and firefox still is syncing to 60fps after upgrading to 64-bit firefox. I asked for help about a long time ago. Firefox was really good until 64-bit. Did they hire college students to make the 64-bit? I'm switching to chrome right now but I will keep checking back on this post forever like I have my last one..!.. tyvm

I uninstalled my nvidia drivers then installed the latest version. I still have both of the issues.

I have my i7 5820k 6-core 12 thread overclocked to 4.5ghz. I run minimal background programs and turn off many windows services. Cpu usage is low when I'm getting terrible flash preformance. The memory leak shown in the process firefox plugin container only goes out of control when I use flash player.
