Flash Plug-In Causes FireFox to Freeze

**Dynam0** · 10-7-2013, 07:53 PM

Hey duders, for some odd reason my browser will freeze up whenever any flash content tries to load. I've read up about it and apparently you either have to use a different browser entirely or downgrade your flash plug-in (to something like 10.3). Right now I'm browsing with the flash plug-in disabled and there's no problems (other than I can't load any flash content obviously)

Has anyone else run into this problem?

interesting. I haven't run into this. Do you have any other plugins installed?

I have Adobe Acrobat 11.0, McAfee Security Scanner + 3.0, Silverlight Plug-in 5.1, and one for Microsoft Office and Windows Live Photo Gallery (which are probably irrelevant)

Apparently I can turn off protected mode and the problem is fixed but then I lose secure browsing so that's kind of silly

is there some kind of white list feature you can use to allow fiffer?

probably lol. my standalone player works fine since it doesn't use a browser but it's really annoying when I try to load stuff like facebook :p
