wish me luck!

ps... the list of support sent to Firefox doesn't format well and I've gone thru and put them on separate lines... but it doesn't show in the final reply window... sorry...

Hi Beth60, sorry about the formatting, the forum automatically wraps line breaks.

Did you click the most recent crash IDs? I'm having trouble accessing the data and wonder whether those went through?

I don't know whether downgrading to Flash 10.3 will help. Some other things to check. This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues:

(1) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash

(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"

(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues

(2) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista / 7 / 8)

See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?

thanks for the quick response!

the crash reports should be recent ones...

I wondered about this... if it would help... I'll do this and see... Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash

thanks

here's the first one on the crash list about:crashes
