Performance issues with Flash Player on Firefox
DV7-7063ea HP laptop.
Firefox 15
Latest revision of Flash Player
This has only popped up the past couple of days, so I'm guessing it was an automatic update which is the cause.
Whenever I go to watch a youtube video or play a game using flash etc, not only is the video quality awful, but whenever I don't have my youtube/game tab focused for a while and I go back to it, everything lags horribly. By this I mean I can drag my mouse in a pattern across the screen and watch flash react to it 3-4 seconds later.
It does eventually catch up, however this can take anywhere between 30 seconds and 10-15 minutes.
I've been using Firefox over Chrome because I was more satisfied with the performance results of Firefox. Ironically I've just downloaded Chrome and these issues don't occur. Time for a switch perhaps?
Have looked for downgrades but can't find mirrors I'd particularly trust.
I have reinstalled Flash Player on Firefox but the same issues are still there. I'd like to keep using Firefox but it's not the end of the world if this isn't solvable.
