When Im on certain websites my firefox with come up with an error message and close the program. One instance was on myspace.com I was browsing a page and a message popped up saying Illegal operation plugin: The shockwave flash performed an illegal operation. You are strongly advised to restart firefox. Then I hit ok. Then a few seconds later I get the error message and firefox closes.
Another problem is I was browsing windows explorer in the local setting on my documents when I get an illegal operation error message and explorer.exe closed it self and retarted.
I tried norton, spybot, and ad aware.

U may need to uninstall and reinstall Macromedia flash. I would recommend using Internet explorer.

If you have questions about Firefox it is better to go to the Firefox Support Forum . When you post made sure you include which version you are using and any extension you may have loaded. Also include the address to the page giving you problem, so that other can load the page and see if they can determine if it is a page problem or just a problem with your setup.
