Upgraded new FF and all flash based video website does not load and makes computer almost hang. After I open the task manager, and open the folder where the plug-in container is, everything works back fine. I don't have to do anything at all after opening the folder.

What kind of error is this? Its very odd. Hopefully there is a fix for this.

Chosen solution

Another method would be to uninstall FF and install FF8.0 and not use the upgrade tool from FF7.0. This worked for me.
