Weird flash issue in firefox 3

hi i recently installed firefox 3 (for mac os x) and have
noticed a very strange issue in it with one of the sites i have
built. basically, if I go to the site 'hidden' in FF3 the site
(which is a flash movie) appears as intended, but if i type in
'hidden' when the page loads the flash movie shrinks to a very tiny
size (about 100 pixels, when it should be 800x600) at the top of
the screen. i have not encountered this before and no other flash
site i have made has this problem. i have not encountered this in
any other browsers as yet either. has anyone else encountered this
before, or know how to solve it? many thanks

hello rritchey, thanks for taking the time to check it out.
Ive checked both urls on FF3 on several other computers, mac &
windows, and all work fine. ive only found the problem on my
macbook pro, i wanted to check how many people it affects

Safari not working (Flash issue) but FireFox is... is there an issue with Safari?

When I access Connect in Safari I am asked to upgrade my Flash player - it is up to date... Firefox works just fine. Does anyone else have Safari access or Flash issues?

Connect version 8 requires that Adobe Flash 10.1 be installed. I would suggest that you uninstall Flash and then reinstall from here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#ostype=m,prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
Adobe Connect is built to use the Adobe Flash player and it works great on Mac OSX. I suspect your Flash instance is corrupt and needs replacement. I use Safari all day long with Adobe Connect 7.5 and 8.

Firefox is having "Script" issues (Not Responding) und possibly Flash issues?

Okay, downloaded Firefox for the first time in like a year yesterday. It was working beautifully, oh, how I've missed it. I hate using Google Chrome with a fiery burning passion.
However, though it was working perfectly yesterday, I have not downloaded anything or got any plug-ins/extensions, whatever.
Today, however, I can go to www.google.com (on firefox), but if I try to go to my banks website, or imvu.com, or something like that, all the sudden Firefox decides to hang. It freezes und I get that annoying "(Not Responding)" at the top. I have to close out of the browser entirely, open it up und forgo the session restore.
Some websites are okay, however, it seems many of them aren't.
I get a script error message, so far the one for imvu.com that popped up was "lookout.bluecava" or something like that. Asked if I wanted to wait for script to respond or if I wanted to stop it. Either way, it ends with me closing out und starting back at google.
Right now, to ask this question, I had to re-download google chrome, und log in from that browser since Firefox doesn't even want to support it's own support forum! Crazy stuff, right?
Anyway, since it's having a "script" issue, I went to java, made sure I had the updated java installed on my computer, then I made sure that I had the updated java plug-in. Und I even downloaded the 64bit java for it as well, both the 7u45 or whatever.
So, my java on my comp und firefox browser are seemingly up to date, und the Add-On thing for Firefox to check if plugins are up to date says they all of them are up to date.
Still having the issue. The moment I go to imvu or another site that has that issue, it freezes within 10 seconds und that's all she wrote.
So, I'm really not wanting to go back to Google Chrome for another year, I miss the hell out of Firefox.
To Add: The issue I am having right now with Firefox is the same issue I had a year ago, when I had to uninstall firefox und go with Chrome in the first place.
But, since it was acting normal yesterday when I installed it, I figured that it was fixed. Wrong in less than 24 hours.
Before I submitted this, I decided to hop back onto Firefox und try something.
I disabled the Shockwave Flash und the Shockwave Director plugins. Now, Firefox is working again.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
It asks me if I want to install the "flash" plugins needed to view some content on the page (I used imvu.com to try it out after disabling the shockwave), but still runs.
So, what do I need to do for flash? Or better yet, what's going on with it?
I downloaded the flash yesterday within half an hour of starting Firefox up after downloading it. Und it worked just fine for hours.
I shut the comp down, packed it up, went home, come back to work, hop on the net und BAM. All the sudden Shockwave is having issues with Firefox when nothing was done to instigate it? Doesn't make sense.
Other info:
Windows 7 Home Premium on HP laptop.

I will give Firefox 24.1 a try und see if shockwave flash actually works without making it hang und resulting in need of force close.

Flash audio issue with Firefox

I came across an issue in firefox relating to adobe Flash. I'm also adressing the issue with adobe as it might be related to action script in the SWF. However if that were the case I don't quite understand why it's limited to Firefox.
The problem is as follows. Using a simple mp3 player to play news highlights i came across an issue where that if other tabs or windows were open where flash audio played (like a youtube video) the audio in all these tabs/windows would cease as soon as the simple mp3 player was loaded or the stop button was pressed. This proved to be a problem among many of our customers who listen to online radio via our players (in a popup window/tab/seperate window) and browse on our site where this mp3 player is loaded. I provided a test environment where you can find the player.
http://www.classicfm.nl/audiotest/
Test by having flash audio playing and open the above link in another tab or window. As the player loads it stops all audio.
Kind regards
Dwayne

I've been looking everywhere, google, adobe forum and one thing strike me... all, or almost all post about that in adobe forum have been ignored... Why ?
On google i found a lot of people saying it is impossible and some saying it is, that they managed to fix theirs, but it is still not working for me. I followed and tryed a lot of method that seem to work for them, but it isnt working for me.
Adding this
<embed src="Video/Menu.swf" quality="high" width="2000" height="950" name="Menu" align="middle" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent"/>
Is not helping much.
Please it is critical for me that my flash allow the click through on Chrome and Firefox because my flash cover the whole screen as you see, 2000x950 and depending what you do in my website, it will fill the screen or not, and i still have html link that need to be clicked that are not inside the flash itself, thus why i need the click through.
Thanks

Issue with Firefox & Flash Player Installation

This topic has probably already been brought up but I need
some help, please! I can't seem to find anything that matches
exactly what I'm going though here.
Yesterday I did a clean install of Vista. (I had some missing
.dll files for some reason). I re-installed Firefox, and went
through with all the Windows updates, etc. and everything has been
fine. Today, I have been trying to install Flash Player through
Firefox (Flash player is working fine on IE). It goes through the
motion of downloading it from the Adobe site, and it also states
that the download is complete, but when I go to a website such as
Facebook, it's giving me a couple of messages. The actual site's
message is: "Flash Player upgrade required. You must download and
install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player to view this
content." as well as I get the yellow bar up top from Firefox
saying, "Additional plugins are required to display all the media
on this page" and has a button to click saying "Install missing
plugins". When I click on either this button or the "Download
Flash" button on the actual webpage, again, it goes through the
motion of downloading it, but that's as far as it goes. In my
"downloads" window, it shows a bunch of times that I had downloaded
the flash player, but it doesn't even give me the option to open
the file.
Up until yesterday, I did in fact have flash on Firefox.
Another thing I noticed, was when I re-installed Firefox, the
download scheme is a little different (I don't have the download
box at the bottom of the window anymore and I'm not sure why or if
this is just a new version of Firefox that I didn't have before.)
In any event, when I would save the flash player during the
download, I tried a couple of different locations (desktop and
another location in C drive) but when I go to those locations,
there is nothing there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was having the same problem installing Flash 10 for Firefox
and getting the "Insufficient Disk Space" message. I believe this
happens to people whose main local disks have a name other than
"C:" Mine is "G:" I think the problem is that its an install
package that automatically tries to install it on a C: local disk
directory. There is no option to manually install it to a different
directory, so we seem to be out of luck.
However, I did find a link explaining how to manually install
it:
http://www.varesano.net/blog/fabio/installing+flash+player+plugin+firefox+without+having+a dministrator+access+or+premissions
At step 1. Right click the link and choose "Save Link As" and
delete the ".xpi" extension and type ".zip" to save the file as a
".zip" file.
Even though the instructions are for a different problem, I
followed the steps and it worked fine for my problem as
well.

Weird flash plugin behaviour

Hello guys and girls.
Recently I switched back from catalyst to the opensource driver. Everything worked fine after that.
Now I updated my system a week ago and for some reason my flash player behaves weirdly since then.
When I got 2 or more tabs open and all of them having flash active, flash stops displaying correctly when I close one of them.
Is this a known problem? I couldn't find any posts mentioning this, so I thought I should post a topic here.
Thanks in advance,
szt

I've been having flash issues lately too, although different ones from yours. Flash videos on lots of sites refuse to go fullscreen. sometimes they will go fullscreen once, but if I unfullscreen and try again it will be broken until I restart firefox. youtube is the only site it works reliably on. I resolved my issues by using chromium and chromium-pepper-flash, which is far more up to date and less buggy than flash 11.2

Problem with flash contents in Firefox

at about 3 seconds and no sound can be heard. IE works fine
though... Is there a fix or work aorund for this issue?...

Issues with Firefox hogging resources...

I have several issues with Firefox intermittently consuming 99-100% of my CPU memory. Now, let me preface this by saying that I am NOT an advanced user, and can only tell you what I see on things like the Task Manager and such. Furthermore, I know that you guys know about some of this stuff - at least, I am pretty sure you do - but I am nowhere near comfortable enough to mess with any command line... stuff... in Firefox. I just am not knowledgeable enough about the program, and I don't want to 'break' it (lol). Anyway, down to business. Here are the issues I am having:
1. Upon startup, Firfox takes between 30 seconds and a minute and a half to load 5 tabs. When I first downloaded and installed it, these same tabs took less than 10 seconds to load. I have tried clearing my cache and history but nothing seems to help. If it matters, I have been using Firefox for going on 5 years now.
2. Once the program has loaded, '''any''' keyboard shortcuts I use in it (ctrl+a, ctrl+c or v, alt=tab, etc) cause the CPU memory usage of Firefox to spike to 99 or 100 percent. In affect, it freezes my computer for anywhere between 2 and 30 seconds, roughly. It does this usually, but not always, and I frequent all the same sites, so the page I am on does not seem to matter.
3. I have noticed that some of the addons I use with Firefox, mainly Multi Links, lag as well when the above issue is occurring. Not sure if the two are connected in any way (also not sure why that feature is not ''built into Firefox to begin with'') and would have checked this but I will not risk not being able to get back here again. See below.
4. This is unrelated, but I felt it merited some small mention. This is effectively my SIXTH attempt at posting my query. The first time, I created an account and it forwarded me to some page basically saying 'Yup, you're logged in alright.' Then it KEPT doing that every time I tried to flesh out and ask my question, until I navigated COMPLETELY away from the page ''four times'' and attempted this one last time. Very frustrating. I even tried going to Live Chat for help, but somehow got off the chat window page and then suddenly chat was closed... right. Anyway, point being, it was difficult to get this posted and it has me even more annoyed. >.<
I have always loved Firefox because it was faster and more reliable than IE. But here recently... it just seems to be going downhill. For instance, I have seen others ask questions about what's going on with the plugin container and that stupid flash plugin - I happen to have that issue rather severely, to the point that I must leave Flash off entirely until I ''have to'' turn it back on (which is wearing down my last nerve, I might add, since I use sites that require that particular plugin daily), and while I did see a couple rather nice solutions about editing/tweaking internal Firefox settings, I must profess that I am nowhere near competent or comfortable enough to even think about attempting them. Furthermore, I do not believe I should be required to make such changes in order to get the program to function properly and risk ruining it completely so that I have to uninstall and reinstall just so I have Firefox. This is all rather exasperating, and judging from the replies I saw on those topics, I do not expect much help here (a couple of people were rather rude on one of those topics, I am afraid I am a minority here, not knowing my way around program language and all =( ). My main goal is to make you aware, if you are not already, that issues exist and if you have tried anything on your end to rectify them, it has not worked for some. I am at my wit's end here, I do not know what else to do to try to solve these issues other than clear cache and history, restart Firefox, so on and so forth. *sigh* I'm seriously thinking about going back to IE, and you have no idea how much that really ticks me off; I think, out of all of this, even all my wasted time, that's what upsets me the most.

Issues of this sort are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like them to be. However, they tend not to be cause by Firefox itself, but rather by software that is running either inside or alongside it, such as add-ons or firewalls. Since these issues have a broad span of possible causes, you need to diagnose your problems before fixing them. Follow these instructions ''to the line'', as they'll probably help you diagnose and fix the problems you're having.
#run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe-mode] to disable all extensions, themes and plugins. If this fixes your problem, be it with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with add-ons (plugins, themes or extensions). Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix your problem, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions (go into ''Tools > Add-ons > Extensions > Find Updates''), themes and plugins (see [https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ this page] in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). This is temporary and for diagnostic purposes only. Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you actually want that plugin to be enabled. It's best to keep the overall number of enabled plugins as low as possible. When you encounter problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all. If you need support for a problematic plugin, you need to contact its author for support;
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you actually want that extension to be enabled. As with plguins, it's best to keep the overall number of enabled extensions as low as possible. Also, try the theme you want to have installed so see if that is what's causing the problem. When you encounter problems, you know you've found a problematic extension/theme, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all. Just the same as with plugins, if you need support for a problematic extension/plugin, you need to contact its author;
#if you've followed my instructions above, you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons. If you want to keep using those problematic add-ons, please contant their authors for support.
Ok, now... ''If'' disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to fix your problems (or, in other words, if you've just read number 1 on the list above and come straight here), then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Detecting which program it is may be tricky, but the following list should help you. Make sure you follow it carefully. Don't forget to answer the question on the last point, if nothing else helps.
#try reinstalling Firefox. No data will be lost. You can get the latest version (for free, as always) at [http://www.getfirefox.com/ getfirefox.com]. Make sure you [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox uninstall Firefox] prior to reinstalling it. For help installing Firefox, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox this support article]. If that doesn't fix the problem, proceed;
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Is+my+Firefox+problem+a+result+of+malware?s=malware&as=s this support article] for help on this point. ''This is a very important step'', so please pay attention to it. If your problem is not due to viruses/malware, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in Windows operating systems, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing ''msconfig'' and pressing Enter; now, under the ''Startup'' tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect; if you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix your issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check if your firewall/antivirus/security suite is conflicting in any way with Firefox's normal behavior. Check for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be causing problems with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable them temporarily to see whether or not that's true. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem, it's remotely possible. If this doesn't work, proceed to the following point;
#update your modem/router software. There have been some reports that some modem/router software may cause Firefox and other browsers to loose performance and/or stability. If updating doesn't fix your issue, try other versions of the software, if possible. If you need support with this, contact your modem/router manufacturer. If this doesn't help, proceed;
#if you are using a Windows operating system, clean up your OS registry using appropriate software. There have been reports that badly maintained Windows Registries may case problems with Firefox. If this doesn't help, see the following point;
#please try creating a new temporary Firefox profile ([http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles managing profiles]) and see if the issues persist. Please report the results, so we can help you further.

Using latest version of fireFox to access Think Central, pages will not load and they say that this is a security issue with FireFox?

Teachers in our district are supposed to use www.thinkcentral.com with FireFox.
Some have no problem accessing the lesson plans.
Most when they login click on a lesson plan and an icon shows up that says loading but never does.
If you reboot the computer and login you can open a page once but not a second time and no other lessons will open.
Think Central support says this is a security issue with Firefox.
I have updated FireFox, all the Adobe, Reader, Flash, Air and Shockwave. As well as Java.
I have allowed the pop ups to the think Central web site.
Any help would be appreciated

Are there any notification icons on the left end of the address bar? If so, please click them to see whether they related to security issues (such as blocked content - shield icon: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]) or a plugin requiring permission (Lego-like icon).
Does Think Central have any help pages about this issue? Without an account, it is difficult to explore the issue first-hand.

Sudden Display issues in Firefox from Dreamweaver-built pages

Hi, first time posting and a novice at Dreamweaver and web design so please bare with me.
I'm an IT administrator for a small charity company and they decided to ask me to build them a website, I bought Dreamweaver in University and had a small try with it but never really used it since.
Now I'm no web designer but I'm trying the best I can, I managed to make a few preliminary pages for use and found they displayed correctly in most browsers apart from IE and Opera.
But Suddenly today - after no editing or alterations since friday (and it displayed fine yesterday on tuesday), it started experiencing the same issues in Firefox this morning for no apparent reason. I assumed that it would be a problem with Firefox but when trying to sign up to Firefox help I meet an "Access Denied" page after clicking to sign up. Now I know there's no point in searching their forums for that issue because of course, how can someone complain they have the problem when the fact they can't get on the forums to post is what's preventing the post in the first place?
I googled both of those issues and turned up nothing, which led me here.
The "Access Denied" at signup issue is obviously not what I'm seeking for here though, but would like to know if anyone else has experienced the issue with the formatting suddenly displaying incorrectly in browsers when they worked fine before?
Like I said, I'm a complete novice at web design and dreamweaver so feel free to tell me the coding in the website is pants, I know it is but it does (did!) the job in most browsers.
Any help at all would be appreciated.

PS. For an ironic laugh - note the "This website is best displayed in Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome" at the bottom of the page

My advice, although negative, would be to stay clear unless you are confident and capable of using html and css. Dreamweaver won't do the job for you and you will be biting off more than you can chew.
Having said that I've made the necessary changes so that your page will work in all browers. Just copy the whole html code and css below, paste into a new Dreamweaver document and save to your site root folder.
Do not mix measurements i.e., width 43em, padding 15px etc. I would advise staying with px based measurements as measurements are critical to if the site works or not. I don't know what 43em + 15px makes but I do know what 170px + 15px makes. I have changed the width of the containers in your code to px.

Adobe Flash issues

I have both an Imac, mac book air, and mac book, all running ML. When using either Safari or Chrome, and right click and go to the settings for flash, you can't click on anything. It works fine with Firefox. And I also find video chat always lags. Is this a flash issue only with these to web browers? or something else?

Moving this discussion to the Installing Flash Player forum.

Why Do I Have Multiple Versions of Adobe Flash Plugins in FireFox

Hello,
I usually have 2 versions of Adobe Flash plugins installed in Firefox at the same time: the most recent version and the prior version which remains behind after an update. I usually disable the older version but sometimes this also affect the updated version leaving me without Flash capability in FireFox.
This week I updated FireFox's Adobe Flash plugin to 12.0.0.43 but was surprised to discover the 2 prior Flash versions also remained. Now Firefox had 3 versions of Adobe Flash plugins. I discovered the Adobe Flash uninstaller and uninstalled all Flash from my computer. Surprisingly when I reinstalled Flash player in FireFox, again 2 versions were installed: 12 and 11. I attempted to use the uninstaller on FireFox alone but it did not recognize the older Flash plugin, only the updated version 12.
The recent Adobe Flash update, version 12, is a 'Critical Security' update. Therefore, I am a bit anxious to resolve this issue. I hope you can assist me with this issue.
Thank you.
Windows 7
Home Premium (64 bit)
FireFox 26'''bold text'''

I might have thought the uninstaller would have found and deleted the old FlashPlayer. Maybe it was a custom install and in an odd location. (I suppose another possibility is that registry entries are wrong).
Try totally uninstalling FlashPlayer using the Windows Control panel, before re-installing. Then check with the FlashPlayer uninstaller before reinstalling again.
Note whilst doing this that Windows Internet Explorer has its own FlashPlayer plugin that is separate. You will need to reinstall both the Fx fox & IE plugins afterwards. Also note that for 32bit Firefox you will need the 32 bit FlashPlayer.

[SOLVED]youtube and flash issue

So, I've got a flash issue that only happens on youtube. It looks like this:
It happens every time I open a browser (on both firefox and chrome) and goes away after refreshing the page, but its kinda annoying to refresh the page every time I wanna watch a video. Also when switching to fullscreen the video stays in software video rendering when it should switch to accelerated rendering so I get around 10 fps making the video unwatchable (this doesnt happen with windows on the same hardware).
Other flash websites like vimeo work fine and I can watch vimeo HD videos in fullscreen without any issue.
This started happening when youtube introduced the new black look of their player (it was all fine and dandy before), and its bothering me ever since so I'm now using flashvideoreplacer extension for firefox but I still want flash to work properly so I can use chrome again.
I'm using 64-bit arch, flashplugin from extra (getting the same effect with any other flashplugin from AUR) and EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode is set to 1 in /etc/adobe/mms.conf
Oh and I've tried this on Ubuntu live cd and controls work fine but accelerated video still doesnt work.

Flash content makes Firefox to freeze/crash

Hi Team,
I have posted my problem a few days ago as a comment (an answer) to the "flash plugin" post from "cj_gadget". But I have got no answer, probably because the "flash plugin" post was labelled as "solved".
So I now post my problem as a new question, and since I have a Macintosh configuration while "cj_gadget" (and many others) was using a Windows PC, the solution may be different!
After a long period without using it, my iMac (running with Mac OS X 10.6.8) has been recently updated with the most recent versions of Firefox (25.0) and Flash Player & Plugin (11.9.900.117). The result is that Firefox crashes (freezes) on every page with Flash content. For other reasons, I have to stay with Mac OS 10.6.8 without upgrading to more recent OS versions. I have looked through Firefox and Adobe Flash Player help pages, as well as through many posts on this forum without finding an effective solution.
Following some of these posts, I have unchecked (in Firefox > Preferences > Advanced) the use of hardware graphic accelerator. Many posts advise to do the same for Flash Player with a right click on the video frame, but this is NOT possible since Firefox freezes immediately as all Flash video start automatically when the page is loaded.
I have also checked that a HTML5 video displays correctly as for : "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2w&html5=True" while "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2w" stucks Firefox. This Firefox freezing problem is general for all pages with Flash content (that is for a large fraction of the Web!) and NOT limited to Youtube which was just used here as an example.
Some more information : RealPlayer was not present on this computer when the problem appeared. If I disable the Flash pluging in Firefox, it does nor freeze, but of course does not display the video. Safari (version 5.1.10 - ok for Apple software update) works fine with Flash content.
I have sent many hours on this problem without progress and would strongly appreciate any help or even better a solution !

Hi, jpdemers , and thanks for your advices.
I have been travelling for some time and was not in position to make any new test for about two weeks (the affected machine is an iMac at home).
Today I have uninstalled Firefox using AppCleaner, as well as Flash Player using Adobe uninstall_flash_player_osx.dmg ; and I have then installed both of them from scratch.
Unfortunately the problem is still there :-(
I just notice that I forgot to reboot the iMac (twice) as you said. I believe it may not be so important, but I will repeat the cycle with the reboots included (early next year now !).
I will keep you updated on the issue, and I hope I will not have to reinstall the system. I have the install discs, but this may be an heavy burden...
In the meanwhile, I wish you an happy new year !

Flash Player lags Firefox but doesn't when I disable Shockwave Flash Plugin

On certain websites with Flash based web players my whole of Firefox lags like crazy. I have been trying to fix this issue for a while to no avail (Tried resetting, re-installing, etc.) It mostly happens when I move my cursor over the Flash player. After I move my cursor so somewhere else on the webpage (a non-Flash part) it start flickering between the default cursor and pointer (clicking finger icon)
Now today I decide to uninstall the Flash application from my PC and reinstall it. After I uninstalled the Flash player suddenly I have no stuttering issues on Firefox anymore! But of course some other Flash related application do not work anymore.
When I re-install the Flash player it goes back to stuttering and lagging. When I disable the Flash player plugin in about:addons the stuttering is gone.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. It has been bugging me for so long now that I have to use Chrome to visit certain websites...

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
