As stated, Flash updated a few days ago. 1.4.00.79 I believe. Firefox is Version 31.0 Up til then everything worked. Now Firefox is slow as hell. Restarted Firefox many times. Restarted computer several times. Turned shockwave to Ask to activate and it seems to run fine but it is a hassle to keep having to turn it on to watch something. Chrome and IE work fine but I prefer Firefox... but will have to use one of the other two until or unless this gets fixed. Any help is appreciated (in as simple terms as possible.) Thanks, Jim

I'm having the same problem with Firefox 34.0.5 and have preformed the reset firefox.

Firefox just freezes and have to go into Task Manager to kill the process.
