Mozilla Firefox Freezeups

Kanpai · 16 Jan 2012 at 19:32

I've been having quite a weird problem lately with Firefox. I updated to version 9 the other day but the problem still persists.

Everytime I'm watching flash content, e.g. youtube my browser will just lock up and freeze for between 20 seconds - 1 minute. At first I thought it was random but it's only when I view flash content.

Does anyone else have this problem or know of a workaround to fixing this?

TIA

was having this until I upgraded son's pc with latest flash player, the update function hadn't worked...also there is now an x64 version, which could have fixed it!!!

Got the 64bit flash player installed now, and so far it's not frozen up. Will keep you updated
