Hi, try disabling hardware acceleration and Flash protected mode. See - Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

Flash block {web link} Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it
