I am still on xp and the firefox version I am running says it is 43.0.1 It seems every page except this one is crashing the browser...why? I cannot go on my cPanel. cannot go to facebook anymore...I can ONLY get on this page and that seems ridiculous.

I have the latest flash player showing in the add-on manager but it refuses to load anything using the flash player...goes to 99% and crashes the browser...Why?

This is not a cure, but should let the web page load without crashing.

Flash block {web link} Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues. You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
