Firefox Mac doesnt like Flash

[Jim.E.]

I use my iBook only at school and i can't use safari as the vpn doesnt like it for some reason, thus I use FireFox. Although I prefer Firefox over Safari and use it on my PC at home, for some reason whenever I open a page consisting of Flash content, Firefox just locks up and I have to force quit it.

Any ideas?

Have you applied all the updates and downloaded the last flash from Apple?

Have you repaired permissions??? jk

You could always try and delete firefox,
get the newest version from their site,
and re-install it and update it again.
Thankfully, that doesn't take too long.

The flash plug-in is most of the problem. I rarely have it lock up, but it's consistent across most browsers, although I think Apple is jumping through hoops to keep Safari from locking up.

That's not a bad idea. After installing the Flash plug-in, there is generally some permissions problem.
