Chosen solution

So disabling hardware acceleration fixed the issue for you as well?

Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.

  • Shockwave Flash 15.0 r0
  • Shockwave Flash 11.5 r502
  • Shockwave Flash 11.4 r402

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

You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.

About Firefox 33.0 slow response: indeed: disabling hardware acceleration fixed the issue for me.

About flash: Indeed, those older versions of the Flash player were still present, but with the "STATE_VULNERABLE_UPDATE_AVAILABLE" state.

I could remove them using your advice and according http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Disabling_plugins - C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash - renamed the older NPSWF32 dll files

Thanks!
