I have no problems with it using Internet Explorer 11 and Windows 10 with
latest version of Jaws. Of late Firefox has been acting a bit clunky with
the Web Visum add on installed as well as it just isn't as responsive on
many web sites. I only use it when I have to such as for solving captchas or
it sometimes handles selection points where there is flash content better.

Subject: problem with live365
I went to the about:config page and carried out the steps; I have
youtube working in firefox, but still have a problem with live365.com.
When I go to that site, select a genre or station and hit Listen, I find
an "embedded object unavailable" message, and no sound is heard--the
embedded player stays silent. also the page keeps refreshing, indicated
by the constant clicking sound present since installing webvisum.
anyone else having trouble with live365? thanks.

Flash protected mode might cause Flash performance problems in Firefox,
such as persistent hangs or plugin crashes. This is especially true for
users on Windows touchscreen devices and for users who use accessibility
tools.
You can turn off Flash protected mode by following these steps:
1. Press Control plus l to open the Location bar, type about:config and
press Enter.
. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may
appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the
about:config page.
2. Search for
dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode
in the list of preferences.
3. Press Enter on the preference to toggle its value from false to true.
4. Press CONTROL plus W to close the about:config window.
5. Close Firefox, and re-launch Firefox for the new setting to take
effect.

Subject: Re: latest firefox version that supports adobe flash player
I'm curious about turning off Flash and why we should disable it. Didn't
know labels worked better in Youtube without it. Thing is do we disable
or set to ask to activate?
I decided to look in to this. Found a checkbox for Flash in Firefox
that wasn't labeled so I read more and found something we should know
about. I'll paste it below without comment.
Adobe Flash protected mode in Firefox | Firefox Help
(Redirected from
Enable Flash Protected Mode Settings on Firefox)
Flash protected mode
is a security feature for Firefox which is implemented by Adobe for
Windows operating systems (Windows Vista/7/8 or above). This feature is
enabled by
default, to make it difficult for attackers to access your computer.
Flash protected mode might cause Flash performance problems in Firefox,
such as persistent hangs or plugin crashes. This is especially true for
users on
Windows touchscreen devices and for users who use accessibility tools.

No, it's not a security issue. Like I said, if you had said you were
getting an error that Flash was disabled, that would have been the
problem.
I have noticed that Firefox seems to crash a bit with video embedded
sites lately. Honestly, what I've found that helped me was installing
an add-on called Adblock. I installed it at the recommendation of a
friend, but when I did, almost all my crashing problems stopped. You
can download it at www.getadblock.com if you want it. It has fixed
most of my issues.

I can still listen to the stations or videos in question on my

computer using nvda) I try the link in my ot her browsers--sometimes
it works, other times not. other browsers may get unresponsive, or
show the controls but no sound is heard from the embedded player.
I'll get a message like "embedded object unavailable." why would
flash's security diminish with later versions of firefox--i.e., why
did those sites work in earlier ff versions on my older windows xp
computer, but not in the current version on my new windows 7 machine?

What I wrote regarding Firefox 40.0.3 was:
That should work. I thought you were going to say the buttons weren't
reading for you correctly, because that is often the case with
Firefox.
Flash reads
better with Internet Explorer. If you're getting a message that
Flash is
disabled, it suggests that there is a security flaw in Flash and
Firefox
is blocking
access to it until Adobe releases a patched version of Flash. If it's
crashing, that's a beast of another color.

using firefox 40.0.3; what is the latest version that supports
afp? on
some websites that use flash content (youtube, spotify, live365,
video
streaming sites with embedded objects or players, etc.) I get a
popup
saying the adobe flash plug-in has crashed. the same site may
or may
not work on other browsers such as IE, chrome or webbIE.
uninstalling
and reinstalling afp didn't improve things. thanks for your
feedback.
