Shockwave adobe crashing firefox
Windows 8.1 FF 41.01 all up to date. Shockwave/flash is crashing my Firefox. I have tried disabling protected mode. Opening in safe mode and as the last resort refreshing Firefox. I will post the last several crash reports. That page is filled with them. How do I make it work again? Thanks.

IT seems the common issue looks like EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT for the reason of the crash.I also have stopped acceleration too. I am having no issue with Chrome or IE but really want to keep using FF.

Well at least I am not alone......
You are not alone. Have you tried updating to Firefox 41.0.1? This patch resolves some Flash issues, though not all. To update, you can use either:
- "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > About Firefox
- (menu bar) Help > About Firefox
Or you can download an installer from the following page (scroll down to your preferred language):
https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
If you are trying to play Farmville 2, you might need to uninstall Flash 19 and install Flash 18.
Adobe has a link to the uninstaller in this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
The Flash 18 "Extended Support Release" is about halfway down this page: https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
Choose the one for "plugin-based browser" and either the MSI or EXE will work. It's best to close Firefox during the uninstall/reinstall to make sure the files aren't locked and unremovable.
Oh, Firefox Beta 42? I'm not sure whether that has been patched yet; probably soon.
lets try 41.01 lol
Thanks for the info,jscher I have tried all of those above. It is across all sites like FB , yahoo any site that needs flash. No one site is to blame.
