shockwave flash causes firefox 4 crash
shockwave flash causes firefox 4 hangs. it happens whether using the latest or the previous version of flash. removing flash solves the problem but removing flash is not a solution. this happens on a computer with Windows 7. However on another computer with XP this does not happen.

Chosen solution
- Download a copy of Flash from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and save it to your desktop.
- Then download the Flash Uninstaller
- Close Firefox via File | Exit
- Run the uninstaller to remove Flash from Firefox. It will also remove it from IE.
- Reboot
- Run the Flash installer you downloaded to your desktop earlier (do not start Firefox). This will install it on Firefox only.
- Open IE and go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and choose Run when you see the prompt.
- Test the installation in both Firefox and IE by going to: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
