I have often found that on Windows XP, flash player crashes in firefox when minimised. Honestly, my best suggestion is to upgrade from Windows XP. Microsoft have long since withdrawn support for it, and it isn't really safe to use any more. It won't be long before others withdraw their support too.

If that's not possible, make sure that your flash player and browser are up to date.

Your user agent shows that you run Firefox in compatibility mode for Windows 98 (NT 4.10).

  • User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 4.10; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0

Check that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode. You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab. Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
