First delete the old folder in Program Files manually. And then start it up with a new profile: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile If this solves the issue, can you resolve this bug as Worksforme?
Same issue after following those steps. It might be related to the last flash version then.
Is that the latest version of flash? When did this start happening. Can you give exact STR like exact video and page you are navigating to?
I downloaded it today from Adobe. 1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJWO03p1dNA&feature=popular 2) Play the video 3) Click on a link to the video on the right side 4) It should freeze It happens with every single page with embedded flash.
