Everything updated -- Firefox freezes randomly and 40 seconds later flash plugin crashes.
I don't expect a solution here, but would be interested to see if anyone else has similar issues. I don't really care to use chromewwdwadawdawdwadwawdaw
Disable protected mode of Flash and try again. This is the first thing I do when I install Flash ever since they released 11.3, and it acts like the previous versions.
As to how - there was some ini or mms file in some macromed folder to edit, just google it.
