Not PR related, but related for some: Firefox and Flash

Sorry if this is the wrong forum (mods, please move to the correct forum if you want), but since there are many people around here who publish to the web, I thought I would share with you some problems I encountered with:
Windows 8 64 Enterprise
Firefox 18, and
Adobe Flash Player plug-in.
This is a terrible combination. After installing Flash Player, Firefox often comes to a halt, not responding anymore and the only solution is a complete removal of the Flash Player. This applies to all 10.x and 11.x versions of the Flash plug-in. In TaskManager or Process Explorer this weird behavior is shown as two instances of the plug-in running.
The remedy:
In Explorer, navigate to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash and open the file 'mms.cfg'.  Add a single line:
ProtectedMode=0
to this file and save. Now restart Firefox and your problems have gone.

Never noticed this behavior myself.
