Problems with Flash Player
So for the past 2 months or so, I've been having problems with Flash player. I've uninstalled it and re-installed it. I've downgraded to previous versions. I've switched browsers. I've downgraded browsers and used beta versions. Pretty much everything and nothing seems to be working.
On Firefox, it's pretty much a dumpster fire. It will crash every time something that uses flash comes up. No matter how small. Every once in a while, it will play, but even in those times, forget about multitasking because if you do, it will crash. On Chrome it's not as bad, but still bad. Either the video will take 5-7 seconds to load, or it will play for 5 seconds (without sound), then freeze for a few seconds and then finally play normally. It will also crash every once in a while, but I have to have multiple videos or flash apps open for it to crash. After 2 months, I'm tired of dealing with it, and would really like to be able to go back to being able to use both browsers. |

Yep, I had to abondon FF and go back to chrome because of Flash crashing constantly on FF.

What procedure have you used to remove it?
Also, Chrome uses a different Flash plugin, so there has to be something in common between the two that's central to Flash, like hardware acceleration. |

Yes. Try updating your video card drivers.

Flash has been unstable since an update a month of so ago.
I have problems with it in all my browsers.

The weird thing is that Adobe says the latest version for most platforms, including mine, is 14.0.0.176. According the test on their site, I'm running 15.0.0.144. EDIT: According to a quick Google Search, what I'm running is a beta version, although I'm certain I downloaded it directly from Adobe. |

I just tested several Flash enabled sites using IE on a Windows XP virtual machine. No issues running Flash ActiveX version 14.0.0.176 (current version).
I also tried several Flash enabled sites using Chrome on a Windows 7 machine. No issues running Pepper Flash for Chrome, version 14.0.0.177 (current version). Everything seems to be working fine for me on multiple machines with multiple browsers. |

Using FF or Chrome do you use the add-on Adblock? If so turn it off to see if that helps. Also you may try deleting or creating a new Firefox profile.

As htismaqe suggested you may also try disabling the Flash hardware accleration
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See this article for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox). To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:

We're having a helluva time with this at work. People are complaining that on certain websites, they're unable to right-click or copy/paste, and that's attributable to the way those sites use Flash.
**** Flash.

I wonder if Flash is the reason my driver keeps crashing on my work computer.

I had problems with it even using Chrome. If you use Chrome, you can go to Chrome://plugins and you'll see if you have two instances of Flash installed. Disable the Chrome version and leave the native version intact. That resolved a lot of my conflicts.
