Ever since Firefox updated itself to 29.0.1 Flash constantly crashes.

I did a clean install of Firefox, I updated Flash to 13, and I disabled almost every plug-in. Flash still crashes constantly. I will have no choice but to abandon Firefox because it is unusable like this.

Well got it set, and will see what happns, thanks

but where is the lego icon, you mentioned?

and any ideas about the missing stop loading control button and moving the reload button

do you mean the puzzle piece

I thought the sync button was the reload button for a day or so. looks similar!

I have NO Flash plug-in installed. Which Flash plug-in to install?

I believe it is shockwave flash 13xxxxxxx. thats what I have and made the permission change too

Hi, has a solution been found or am I best to downgrade? I haven't even got the refresh firefox option for some reason :(

Found the problem, for me anyway. The point2shop extension was the culprit. Good website, buggy extension! :)

Hello,

Well I set the "ask for permissions" setting on the flash player and have not had a crash in a while now. There has been several times I needed to activate flash, but still no issues as of yet.

Thanks for the idea, and I will follow up again, but for now, it seems to be working.

What a pain! Nothing seems to work without presumably getting into the bowels of the register or other areas I'd rather not touch. Why does the consumer have to 'fix' the problem? Why doesn't Macromedia fix it? They spent the time 'upgrading' FF why can't they spend an equal amount of time fixing it?
