Flash stinks right now

For the past two releases, I have been seeing Flash crash just about every day I use it (in Firefox).

I have never had so many issues with it in the past. Is anyone else seeing this?
 
Haven't seen flash crash in quite some time. Have you already tried running the flash uninstaller and reinstalling it?
Also, i'd try updating video drivers and then possibly disabling hardware acceleration.

Otherwise you may have to create a new profile.

Thanks Chief, we have seen this on five different Windows installs (two were clean), and my wife has encountered this as well. And we don't visit the same sites. Strange.

The only thing the same is Firefox, so it would seem they may not be playing well together right now (at least for us).
 
Another thing you could try is to use a flash blocking addon so flash doesn't automatically load. That has served me well.

You can set Firefox to do that in browser now. In about:config, toggle plugins.click_to_play to true

Thanks lxskllr, I will give that a try. I may have made this sound like a HUGE issue for me, when in reality it is not. Just annoying at the most. I usually see this occur when I have had in instance of flash open for an extended period of time, which I normally do not do.

I haven't had issues, but I'm on Debian, so I don't get Flash updates anymore. Blessing in disguise I think :^D

The sooner Flash ceases to exist, the better for us all.
