    Anyone else notice that flash just doesn't work right with Firefox? I get the "script has stopped working" pop up error on almost website that uses flash.

    Flash sucks and the sooner it becomes obsolete, the better.

    HTML5 largely replacing Flash across the board. YouTube for instance has replaced Flash with HTML5 now.
    Its gonna take time, but it'll happen eventually.

    Do these 2 thing and it should help.

    1. Options->Advanced->Network->Cache Web Content. Make sure you Cache limit area isn't full, if yes clear it. Also check override.

    2. Options->Advanced->General->Browsing. Uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available."

    Are you doing some kind of social experiment in which you troll angrily about various technology offerings? Or are you just having a bad week with your tools?

    Next thread: "Powerpoint is trash, and cost me a promotion. WHY does Microsoft suck so bad?!?"

    Yeah, it'll be nice once html 5 completely takes over, especially since mobile devices never completely embraced flash (Yes, I know of work arounds... But much better with html 5).

    Download the NoScript add-on.

    Makes pages load faster by blocking all scripts, then you can chose the ones you want to allow through.
