Flash player unresponsive with Firefox 36.0.4 (lastest veersion)

Question

I have installed the latest version of flash player and many other old versions on firefox, however everytime I open a page with flash content (e.g youtube video, twitch.tv) the cursor starts blinking with the busy circle and firefox becomes unresponsive until I close the tab with the flash content. Weirdly, youtube videos play even if the flash plugin is disabled and i can temporarily fix it by just re installing Flash player again but the problem comes back again when i turn off the computer and start windows again so i have to reinstall Flash player everytime i turn on the computer

It's only a Firefox thing, i tried using IE and there is no problem and everything is fine. I tried installing Firefox from scratch, uninstalling Flash Shockwave and Adobe AIR, run antispywares and tried old versions of the Flashplayer but still no permanent fix

The flashing cursor thing is super weird. I was a little confused about your description -- did it just start with 17.0.0.134, or did you see these symptoms with older players as well?

Try temporarily disabling hardware acceleration here. I'm just guessing, but it seems like a good first try.
