    Allright - let's see if ya'll can solve this. It's troubling.

    When browsing in Explorer - most of what I do - it aften crashes. Like several times per day. All windows / tabs will be affected.

    It happens, I think, due to flash player. It happens sometimes when I open drudge due to some ads, I think. It happens other times as well.

    I have auto updates on and I've reinstalled flash 4000 times. Well maybe 4.

    Additionally - if I'm streaming music or youtubes, and do anything else on explorer, the stream pauses until the data transfer of my action is completed. In other words, I'll be listening to music, click on a link, the music pauses until the page is loaded and then resumes.

    I FUCKING HATE IT.

    Why not just use Firefox, you ask? Because Firefox cannot even detect flash. Says it's not installed. this means no youtubes or other cool stuff.

    Ideas? Troubleshooting?

    Thanks

    Yeah, exit IE, uninstall Flash, then open IE back up and go to adobe.com and make sure you're getting Flash 9.

    I had flash 9, I uninstalled through control panel, reinstalled, and it still doesn't work in Firefox, and it still pauses on streams.

    Hasn't crashed yet, but it will.

    I managed to manually install adobe on Firefox, and now I can use Firefox. Firefox does not 'stall' when I stream and browse.

    Anybody know how to import google bookmarks from explorer to firefox? Not explorer bookmarks, but google.
