What to be aware of in protected mode

Question

Some of our players can't load our web game. In Firefox the game just stops loading.

I now found that disabling the protected mode in Firefox actually did help. Of course this does not sound like a good solution to tell the users to turn off protected mode.

Our game is loading tons of texctures, xml atlas files and run several server calls during game loading. Then it stops after loading one of multiple xml files in protected mode.

What can I do to make sure this is not happening in protected mode? How can I debug this?

Looks like the protected mode can lead to some limitations on some machines in Firefox.

The hardware acceleration flag that can be turned on or off via context menu does not seem to work anymore.

Graphics look crapy, all runs very slow just the same like when I turn hw acceleration off. And in this case flash won't even not load big textures anymore (we had an 4096x4096 texture that was interpreted as non valid texture file).

My PC has an good old Q9650 Core and a GeForce GTX460 and enough RAM to work with all applications (12GB). Still good enough for 3D games to run fluently. But the protected mode seem to ignore this and makes performance worse. Not sure how I can prevent this.
