Post your comments for Adobe Fixes Flash Player for Firefox to Stop Crashes here

Ah, the damn pickle that is flash. Everything was hunky-dory with flash 11.2 until 11.3 came along. So yeh, it was completely Mozilla's fault, had nothing to do with adobe and their incompetent pre-release testing at all. 'Squall_Leonhart69r' must be paid a lot. lol

This is not an Adobe flash player problem. This is a Firefox problem. Ever since their update, I have not been able to see videos on YouTube. I get a message saying; "An error has occurred. Please try again later".
When I copy the URL and head over to IE9 to watch the same video, surprise, it plays without any errors.
As for RealPlayer, I have never had a problem with RealPlayer crashing my Firefox browser or my IE9 browser.
The problem with Firefox is that they keep pushing out new releases too fast without doing proper testing. At least with IE, Microsoft will just patch bugs and errors in their browser. Listen up Mozilla if someone is reading this, I have posted feedback about this on your blog. Stop releasing new versions of Firefox until they are tested properly and do not automatically blacklist plug-ins and add-ons, because you believe they are the cause of the crashes. In my experience using many different add-ons and plug-ins, the problem always ends up being with the latest release of the browser, be it Firefox or IE. I know this because I use both browsers and many plug-ins and add-ons are available for both browsers.

I updated Flash a few days ago. Flash is still crashing my browsers, Firefox, Chrome, and IE. All are up to date. This happens with the same flash game on FB. Actually, it happens with any flash game. It happens with video; YouTube, Hulu, Justin TV. It seems to me that they not only failed to fix the previous crash problems, but have compounded them.

Adobe, it is time for Flash to go away. We need something better.

Adobe, start listening to your customers and tell the board to go fly a kite; you need to get a grip on your products.

Flash was at its prime when Macromedia had it. ADOBE, YOU RUINED IT!

ROTFLMFAO!!!
You have got to be kidding right?
Adobe flash was still crashing my Firefox browser even after this update.
I firmly believe it had nothing to do with Adobe flash.
I firmly believe it is a problem with Firefox v. 13.
How do I know this?
I posted a few days ago about having this problem.
My solution?
I uninstalled both Firefox 13 and Adobe flash.
I installed a previous version of Firefox 11 which I have saved and then unchecked the box for the automatic updates.
I then downloaded the latest version of Adobe flash and SURPRISE, no crashes.
To sum up, the latest version of Adobe flash is working perfectly with Firefox v. 11.
If others are still having trouble, then try this fix, it worked for me and I am happy again.

Reading your article concerning the FireFox/Abode Flash I rushed to remedy my problems with FireFox playing flash videos, yet still the inability to play flash videos in FireFox. TIRED, FRUSTRATED, & DISGUSTED with FireFox, I uninstalled the browser because, as I agree with those who state that the problem is FireFox. Now, I only wish to spread the word that FireFox, well, ... fill in the blanks.
