I have window 8 64 bit and my flash is always crashing and i have sent in the crash reports all the time. Its been updated, I even installed the lower one and it still crashes. I thought it was just on a particular page in facebook that it crashed but its not it still crashes on other pages too. I am almost ready to go back to IE even though I hate IE. I really need help on what to do!?

Could you do a little housekeeping of your extensions, in case they are causing issues. Disable ALL nonessential and/or unrecognized extensions on the following tab. If in doubt, disable:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Then restart Firefox using one of the links on the page.

This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with the Flash player:

(0) Keep up-to-date any add-ons (such as video downloaders) that interact with the Flash player

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

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

orange Firefox button (or 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 (Win 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?

Does that help?
