Symptoms:

1. Cannot right-click on any Flash object -- Instant freeze

2. Webpage stops loading or loads incredibly slowly if Flash is enabled

3. Firefox Plugin Container keeps resetting (on processes)

4. Little wheel thing that shows up when page is loading stops spinning and UI freezes cold


Same happens when there is a hidden embed player that is based on Flash (YouTube player, non-HTML5) anywhere in the page.

Please try reinstalling Adobe Flash Player, ensuring that you have the latest version installed on your system.

If you still have issues, please navigate to the about:support page in your Firefox address bar and tell us the numeric value of the Multiprocess Windows field.

It says 0/1 (Disabled by add-ons) And no, reinstalling Flash Player did not solve the problem -- ActiveX and NPAPI.
