Firefox locks after closing an Internet radio station
Running Firefox 55.0.3 on Windows 10, latest update. Have 2 tabs open. One tab is "http://www.wobofm.com/". The other is "http://radio.securenetsystems.net/v5/WOBO". I have 2 issues. The first is that when the radio station is playing, there are quite a few times when the station seems to quit or skip a part of the broadcast, only 2 or 3 seconds though. The other is that if I stop the radio station, come back to the PC the next morning, I cannot start it again or click on anything in Firefox, I can't even close it unless I open Task Manager and force it to close. Running Edge does not stop the skips but I can stop the radio and restart it without having to close it with Task Manager. I however prefer Firefox. There are no other applications running. Any idea what's wrong?

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here:

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html Uninstall Flash Player | Mac
Then reinstall the latest version.
Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).
Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.
