Shockwave Flash was causing my browser 40.0.3 to start videos I did not want to play, I added an add-on to block Shockwave Flash; however, this became very cumbersome to enable and disable when i go to sites that required Flash like a greeting card site. I found another add-on called 'Video without Flash', it told me to remove 'shockwave Flash' I did, now I can not get any video on the greeting card site. Is the problem that I removed Shockwave Flash or something else, I have the latest Flash Player from Adobe.

Latest Firefox browser version have disabled the support for Shockwave and many other plugins by default. However, you can enable it again by tweaking the configuration: 1) Enter as the URL: about:config 2) Right-click the mouse anywhere on the configuration variable list and select “New” “Boolean”. 3) Name the new configuration value: plugin.loadflashonly 4) Continue reading. The problem is that my internet browser immediately crashes as soon as I go to a site with any flash items. The only way I'm able to use firefox is by disabling the Shockwave flash plugin; but then flash objects don't show up. So I don't think I can change the hardware acceleration by right clicking on a flash. Flash is the premiere vector-based design and animation technology on the Internet. Millions of Web users already have Flash Player installed.

I need some help.
