1) I have tried every trick to find the current version - it will not display it. 2) I watch streaming TV but it will eventually crash blaming adobe - even after updating adobe flash. 3) It is always saying UPDATE NOW for latest version. I click ok. I don't see much happening then it says to update now.....AGAIN.

Sorry - I put in About:crashes - that is what showed up. Not sure what you wanted. OK - try this: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/d98054b8-b396-4941-9457-51bd20180318

If this is what you want - good. If you want more let me know. If this is not what you want - I guess I am not sure what you want. Sorry.

I finally got fed up today. So I Uninstalled Firefox and Adobe FlashPlayer. Cleaned the Register and rebooted. Then Re-installed both. Rebooted again. I will see what happens.

The first reply said to uninstall. So that is what I did. Had no idea that would nullify all the results. Sorry.

It has been running at least 3 hours without a lockup. So that is looking good. But I won't know for sure for a number of days, since it has gone a number of days without a problem, and then another day it won't work for 30 min. Thanks for all the feedback. I will see what happens over this next week.
