Me. It's fucking atrocious still for Firefox and Chrome.
The update for what, Flash or Firefox? I just updated both within the last couple of days and neither really seemed to change much of anything.

Have you disabled protected mode yet? It has fixed the Flash problems for me:
------------------------------------
To disable Protected Mode, open the file called mms.cfg file which is located in:
Windows 32bit: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
Windows 64bit: C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash
Open that file in notepad and add this line to it:
ProtectedMode=0
then save the file

I don't know if anyone else had this problem, but the sound from youtube videos kept playing even after closing a tab and the last update fixed that.
Firefox? Fine. Flash? Fixed nothing, but didn't make it noticeably worse.
Might give that whirl.

Hmm, even after the update, I'm still having a font-smoothing problem. On sites like Imgur, the font smoothing is briefly sub-pixel rendering, then switches to graysclae rendering on hovers. I have it set to grayscale smoothing and all the text outside that site shows up as I intended. Just me?

Browsing youtube on firefox sucks because both flash and the html5 player are terrible. *sigh*

Firefox finally works properly again on my pc. Don't know why it was shitting the bed all of a sudden, but a fresh re-install after I heard FF15 was released, did the trick. Had to use Chrome for a month, and while it's a great browser as well, FF still has more tricks and add-ons that I like. Awesome!
Adobe Flash is still a bitch though.

To be fair, Flash is dogshit everywhere still.

True. The plugin is a steaming pile of shit in Chrome as well. But moreso in Firefox. I haven't had any big issues yet since the reinstall of FF though. *crosses fingers*
I'm so sick of Flash. I absolutely loathed it when I was using Ubuntu Linux. It was absolutely atrocious. I still don't understand what Adobe is doing. They don't care about anything besides PC's, instead of the growing tablet and phone markets, and yet it's not even good on PC's, hell it's terrible most of the time.
Flash is actually kinda stable on Nightly x64, but for non-testing purposes, you guys can use it with Waterfox 64-bit.
You can even try a portable version.

Can anybody suggest an add on for FF for browsing in the dark so it's easier on the eyes? I had one but it's no longer compatible.
Thanks,

You can download the latest version of Flash at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ That will fix the problem.
Did that. And it didn't fix it.

Oh, that sucks. Worked fine for me. I guess you'll have to wait for another update then.

For anyone having flash issues, Adobe updated Flash to v11.4.402.278 today.
Did this actually fix anything? All the last few updates have been terrible and I've had to use chrome for anything flash related.
Same here, but this update seems to fix it.
I just played a video within GAF and I didn't notice any stuttering, and it played smoothly most of the time.
It might be a placebo effect, but I still think it played a little bit better (smoothly) on Chrome.
This is the video I am talking about: https://youtube.com/watch?v=5OjAoRNYdUY

Flash really needs to die and go away.
The question is how did they F something up which worked perfectly fine at the beginning?
Clearing my cache has solved some of my flash problems not completely but it stutters a bit less. Might be a placebo effect though.

Firefox is working better than ever for me. I don't think I have any complaints left.

Same here, Chrome has given some problems after that last update though.

Firefox hasn't been running smoothly for awhile now for me. I've updated, uninstall it, re-install it and nothing seems to work. List of problems with Firefox I've been having:
- Pages haven't been displaying properly even though it displays well on Explorer
- Constant "Page cannot be displayed" even though it shows up for other browsers
- Constant freezing
- Constant crashing
- Firefox window background despite no window being open and I block pop-ups from opening.
I thought maybe it would be my cookies or history or maybe one of the plug-ins but it turns out that its none of them because on a fresh Firefox install it still has the same problems.

A fresh install does not imply a fresh profile, and it's in your profile that most of the junk stays.
Have you created a new profile or reset the current one?
Edit: beaten even in this incredibly slow thread...
Do you have a lot of extensions installed?
And, just for good measure, make sure your plugins are up to date.

FF still my main browser, despite the glitchy youtube videos, scrolling up and down fixes it tough but its very annoying.

Is there a NeoGAF user highlighter for Greasemonkey that works? The one on userscripts is outdated and doesn't work anymore.
Mine just updated and stopped working D:
