EasyPrivacy Problem with Adobe Flash Player

Post by TCCB »

Hi, for a few months now, I've been having a problem in Firefox which consisted in the following:

Every time I would go to a site that had a video that used Adobe Flash Player, it would freeze the browser, and make the plugin in question crash, this never happened in Youtube, but it happened in 90% of all other sites. For example it would happen in all Huffpost sites, after several unsuccessful attempts to solve the problems I turned to Adblock Plus and I found out that if I turned off two of my subscriptions that problem wouldn't exist anymore, the subscriptions in question are: EasyPrivacy (and therefore also EasyPrivacy+EasyList), and Peter Lowe's list.

If possible, could you please look into this issue, because I would really like to be able to activate EasyPrivacy again.

Thank You.

How about,

Code: Select all

Right click on flash -> Global Settings -> Advanced -> Delete All -> Ok/Exit-> Restart browser
