Super Fast Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I decided to post a fix I had, that may help others who had this issue. After installing Windows 7, Firefox 7.01 would hang whenever I visited a flash site, such as Youtube, even with latest Flash 11 also installed. Was able to open a new tab by right clicking Firefox browser in the tray, & choosing New Tab. After you are in a new tab: - Go to the top where the Address Bar is & type: about:config & hit enter. Click "I'll be careful, I promise." - Type dom.ipc.plugins.enabled in the search box, & double-click it to change it to false - Restart Firefox This fixed the flash lockup problem for me. Hope it helps someone else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted October 27, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2011 I've had that disabled for months since I disabled that damned Plugin Container. There's also more info from Mozilla on this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Just another reason to hate flash. Though, sometimes, I am unsure if my problems stem from Flash, or from using Nightly. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I tried that. It just dumps the memory load from the plug-in container(s) back to your open FF instead of splitting it up. So the same amount of ram is being used, regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the same amount of ram is being used, regardless. I should have stated it more clearly. I apologize if I was not clear enough in my statement earlier. This tip does not conserve RAM, just help with Flash problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
