Question

Assistance required regarding the plugin.

So, I've recently updated to the new flash player via https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ . As soon as I've updated and restarted Firefox, I've been getting the unresponsive plugin pop up every 5 seconds and then goes away before i have time to take a picture whenever I am on a website that uses flash (Example: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ ). On top of that the website would load extremely slowly. Additionally, on my task manager several instances of flash are active (Image below).

Mind you this only started happening when I updated to the newest flash player.

My specs:

Windows 10 - 64 bit (updated to latest)

Mozilla Firefox - version 46.0.1 (latest)

Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 15.16.20039

The problem causer is this plugin:

Shockwave Flash 21.0.0.242

So far I've tried to:

1) refresh Firefox.

2) reboot Firefox with add-ons off to check if it was conflicting with anything.

3) Clean installed adobe flash via instructions from: Uninstall Flash Player for Windows

None of them solved the problem....

Please help... I'm slowly losing it...

AHHHHHHHHHHH...

Never mind everyone. All I had to do was to clean install Shockwave player and everything worked fine.

For now...
