I just updated my display driver (Nvidia GTX 560 Ti) to the latest version (331.65) and whenever I try to open a website containing flash-material (Flash version 11.9), Firefox (version 25.0) freezes and throws me the "Stop Plugin"-Dialog.

Meanwhile the TaskManager tells me that 2 Flash processes are open, until I stop the plugin.

I tried disabling the hardware acceleration in Firefox, but it didn't help. I am using Windows 8 (64).

What should I do, to fix this?

  • Have you tried to disable all plugins except Flash?

  • Are you using 32-bit or 64-bit flash player?

  • I would try uninstalling it using Add/Remove Programs and download the 64-bit specifically from the website. Don't let FF do this for you automatically

I had the same problem after updating my GTX 560 Ti driver. Try restarting your computer. I spent about two days trying to resolve this without a restart and after I performed the restart, everything worked fine again.

Same Card, same Driver, same Problem! With Firefox 25 it's going even more worse, you don't need flash to produce an error. This happens e.g. during writing here. If I have luck, only the gfx driver crashes and is restarted. With less luck also Firefox crashes. Without any luck: BSOD! Since downgrade to my previous driver (314.22) everything is fine and reminds: never touch a running system without any special reason!
