Hey guys, I've recently started using Firefox instead of Chrome *pwease don't bash mee* and for whatever reason i'll be doing something and Shockwave Flash decides to crash, would anyone happen to know why this happens? Do I need to update Flash? (I know I have the latest Firefox version.) Thanks for your help!

I have this problem too on both my PC and my laptop.

I been just ignoring it. I'm not sure what to do...  

 

Yeah, that happens to me as well.

All you have to do is stop the script and reload the pages.

It's not a big deal.

It happens on and off almost constantly, though it could be because one of your addons is causing it. Ever since I disabled Avast! FreeAntivirus' Firefox Addon, everything loads much more quickly and I haven't had flash crash since.

It happens for me if I watch a YouTube video and minimize Firefox while the video is still playing.

Reinstalling and creating a new profile didn't help.

Did you try reinstalling firefox and / or creating a new profile?

(If not, make sure to backup your bookmarks, your history etc.)

If that only happens with YouTube videos (like in my case), you could try to use HTML5 instead of Flash: https://www.youtube.com/html5

I use HTML5 instead of Flash anyways, and with a Greasemonkey script to force it in all videos.
