Do others on this list agree that this is a reasonable thing to do? Thanks.

Disabling the plugin doesn't let you run flash content obviously. This is an issue that Firefox has had in various forms for years now. The ideal solution would be for things to migrate from flash to html 5, but that'll be awhile. I just have noticed window-eyes being pretty sluggish in firefox as a result. There is always the option, too, of using an add-on like noscript or flashgot to disable or enable it at ones choosing.

Whenever I go to a website in Firefox (and IE too), I get a message saying that the Shockwave plugin is either busy or has stopped running. I then get an option to either stop the plug-in or continue. Whichever I do, Windoweyes crashes on that website and I have to go into Windows Task manager to close out Firefox. And sometimes that doesn't even work. A friend disabled the shockwave plug-in; now when I go to websites I get a message asking if I want to allow it. I have two questions: I understand that shockwave is the Adobe flash player. By disabling it, am I impairing Windoweyes in some way? And, second, how do I fix this problem without having to disable a plug-in that has worked fine until very recently? Thanks.
