After updating to Firefox 14 and to the 11.3 flash Firefox will hang on every flash website I try to view on a Win2008R2 server.

I can reproduce this on several machines after installing the latest Flash update and it does not repro if I disable the flash plug in.

I have already tried completely uninstalling everything from scratch on this server with no results, including deleting all files related to flash and FF.

Try re-enabling Flash and then disable hardware acceleration in Adobe Flash Player's Display settings, which you can access by right-clicking any Flash object or by right-clicking the Flash logo on this page and selecting "Settings" (you may need to switch to the Display tab, by clicking the first icon on the bottom of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window),:
