Whenever I use firefox for facebook, games, etc. It does the "not responding" thing for a second then responds but then doesn't respond then responds again. It always flashes the not responding ting and messes up my games and stuff. When I attempt to go on youtube and play a video, it does the NOT responding thing ALL THE TIME. Why is this?

I would first try these troubleshooting tips: Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix. Then,

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See this article for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).

To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:

  1. Go to this Adobe Flash Player Help page.
  2. Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
  3. Click on Settings in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
  4. Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel.

    The image "fpSettings1.PNG" does not exist.
  5. Remove the check mark from Enable hardware acceleration.
  6. Click Close to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
  7. Restart Firefox.

This Flash Player Help - Display Settings page has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.

Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
