Thread: Fix Firefox lag or crash when browsing flash content

    Fix Firefox lag or crash when browsing flash content

    I always had issues with flash content lagging or freezing up. Even on websites like youtube, photobucket, etc

    Googled and found that the culprit could be the Plugin-container of Firefox.


    Here is the fix:

    Open a tab in firefox, enter this in the address bar---> about:config

    Click on I'll be careful...blah blah

    Search for dom.ipc.plugins.enabled

    Change the value to false. (Toggle)

    Now create 4 new boolean entries with the given names and set them to false
    (you can only do this one by one)

    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.nptest.dll

    I tested it on Firefox 7 and it works fine. Just wanted to share it with you guys

    learn it from:

    Well it never crashed for me either. Just froze up for 30 seconds or so. Been happening for long time.

    this trick helped me fix it

    FF was consistently crashing when using flash and this fix seems to have solved the problem.
