when I watch videos on pbs firefox crashes almost every 20 minutes. what do I do
I have read numerous "solutions" but have only tried a couple - all to no avail. FF does not crash when I watch Netflix or Amazon video - only on PBS online

That are problems with the Shockwave Flash plugin.
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
- check for updates for your graphics drive drivers
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration - disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
