After you post the crash reports, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift (Mac Options) > key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

It wouldn't stop crashing long enough to open and send the others. but this is the most recent from today. I uninstalled it for 2 days and had no crashes yet couldn't watch any videos.

Yes it crashed immediately

The crash report flagged these programs;

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

I have not tried this, but take a look at it; Video WithOut Flash {web link} Watch videos without flash

I have tried everything it still crashes non stop. It seems Mozilla/Firefox is no longer an option for me. Hopefully they will figure out the plug in issue soon.

Flash block {web link} Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it

Sadly that did not work either. I couldn't watch any videos. its looks like I'll have to switch to Chrome. until firefox can fix the plug in. thank you for all of your assistance.

It would be helpful if Mozilla would watch these forums and actually act on the common issues. This plug in is obviously an issue yet they do nothing to fix it.

The Flash Player Plugin is made and provided by Adobe as Mozilla has nothing to do with it.
