Please also state the version of Flash layer installed. Presumably it has worked previously in Firefox.

Hi carrottop1023,
Sorry you are having problems with FlashPlayer FLashPlayer should work with Firefox and play most FlashPlayer movies etc. without too many problems. It certainly should not crash Firefox.

Congratulations ! At least you did the correct thing and started your own thread by asking a question.

You may already have tried these but do all this at once and see what happens. Hopefully Flash Player will then work and not crash. Later we can try to get it back to a normal configuration. These are troubleshooting steps.

1. Create a new additional profile for testing purposes
   See Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles#w_creating-a-profile
2. Run Fire Firefox using that new profile
3. Disable FlashPlayers protected mode
   You need to edit the adobe config file. (Do it manually you may need to be able to reverse this.)
