Why is Adobe deliberately Hating Firefox?

more options

Just Last Night 3/21/2015 Firefox upgraded Browser to 36.0.4 and today I notice Adobe Flash was working on ALL pages by some fluke.

Just this evening I had to reboot my pc and when I loaded back up ADOBE FLASH wanted to upgrade...so I did


Well Low and behold it Killed Flash on pages again.

Why is Adobe Flash deliberately hating on Firefox? DID Google Pay them to mess up Firefox because they want everyone to use their product only  ??? That is what I think.

Flukes happen!

This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:

(1) If you have any recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media make sure they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.

(2) Disable hardware acceleration in Firefox and in Flash

(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here:

"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"

That takes effect the next time you exit and start Firefox up again.

(B) In Flash, right-click the media and choose Settings, then the first mini-tab and uncheck the box to use hardware acceleration. More information in this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues

(3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista and higher)

The protected mode feature of the Flash player plugin has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems. You can disable it by creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts provide different approaches for that:

Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.

Any improvement?
