When i start firefox up for the first time after booting my computer it can't connect and wont load my Google home page. I proceed to close the window and firefox will instantly crash on closing. If i reopen it the problem will just cycle until i leave it for a few minutes then the problem will miraculously fix itself. Then i notice Flash crashing any page with non HTML5 supported flash content will just crash So Youtube works just fine but say Twitch doesn't work. I know that it has to do with Firefox i installed Chrome for the first time on my computer ever just to make sure that it works through that and Internet Explorer.

I have tried disabling protected mode. I have tried disabling all Add-ons even though my only real extension is addblock plus. Reinstalled both Firefox and Flash. I tried looking for malware using Malware Bytes and AVG i have tried following Multiple Mozzila and Adobe forums on the matter to no avail. These might be two completely separate problems but they both have started up yesterday so any help that is given is appreciated.

Firefox V 44.0 Adobe Flash Player 20.0.r0 "Has stopped working" :(

hi Tremadol, can you please see if uninstalling firefox 44 first and then installing the 64bit version from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ does solve this issue for you?

Hey Phillip thanks fore this i think this might of fixed it. It's funny i thought x86 would of worked just fine but clearly it doesn't. I will keep testing and keep this open for 24hours and if its fine i will just post and close.
