I use both FIrefox and Chrome together and although I love almost everything about firefox, what frustrates me the most is the constantly lagging video streaming. I have the latest Firefox version (ver 26) and the hardware acceleration is disabled. The videos even in multiple tabs will run perfectly smoothly in chrome but if I try n run even 2 or more videos in firefox, it will start hanging and the video will start stuttering. Any way this can be remedied?

Hey phoenixrock!

Thanks for creating a question. I'll do my best to assist you! Upon taking a long at your system details, it seems like you have two Flash plugins installed.

  • 12.0 r0

I'm assuming this is creating compatibility issues. That's probably why you're lagging. Follow the instructions listed http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html#main_Download_the_Adobe_Flash_Player_uninstaller from Adobe's website.

Note: You may have to reinstall Flash by going to www.get.adobe.com/flashplayer.

Let us know how it goes!

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.

Hi, Thanks for the replies. I have uninstalled the flash player and I've reinstalled the newest version and I now have just the latest one. Still there is considerable stutter whenever I browse a website where any flash element is involved. It takes away from the browsing experience really.

I hope you understand what I mean when I say, the chrome experience just feels overall much smoother and lag free. Obviously I do not want to keep running Firefox with all plugins and addons disabled because then there's no point in using Firefox, is there?
