When my Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled, it causes FireFox 4.0 to regularly hang when visiting websites. All I will see is a white background and an hourglass, then I will see "...Mozilla Firefox (not responding)".

If I disable it the plugin, then I can't watch video on most websites. How do I get flash working with Firefox 4.0?

By the way -- it didn't work with my old version of flash -- I just updated flash five minutes ago to the latest version and it still doesn't work.

I have been experiencing the identical issues as described above on an HP dv7 Notebook with ATI Radeon H3200 Graphics card. This seems to have started after downloading a bunch of Microsoft Windows updates a couple of days ago. I now have to keep the Shockwave Flash plug-in (10.2.153) disabled or each new web page I try to view hangs for 45-60 seconds. As a work-around I have been using Chrome to view web content requiring Adobe Flash.

It appears I was able to resolve this problem by following all of the steps here: https://support.mozilla.com/pa-IN/questions/808868#answer-166820

I downloaded the latest Shockwave Flash plug-in (10.2.159) specifying the version for Firefox. Maybe version 159 tweaked the plugin container and stopped the "not responding" issue. Fingers-crossed.
