Whenever I have firefox open and I need to type something using the onboard touch keyboard, the moment I activate the keyboard, Firefox freezes. I then receive a prompt saying Flash has stopped working. However, I have updated shockwave flash to the most recent one. Also, I noticed at intermittent times, whenever I change the orientation (portrait --> landscape) on my tablet, I get the same issue as above.


I am not sure if this is a Flash issue, or some sort of integration problem with firefox and the windows8 tablet features.

I don't get this on my Surface, have you tried Updated the Surface and Resetting Firefox? Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings

I have tried that, but did not work. I switched over to Nightly which is still in beta, and it is much better. But still some flashsites like youtube still crash every so often....

Anyone have anything for this?
