Can't Play Flash Games On Mac
When I try and play Flash games on any website my browser slows right down, hogs all my memory and eventually crashes. I am using Firefox 4 and the flash plug-in 10.3.
My first fix was to reinstall flash and FF, but that made no difference. I then installed last years FF and an old Flash plug-in. Nope. So I tried Opera, then IE8 (Hey I was getting desperate!). Still the same issue when I try flash games. Other flash based things seem okay, YouTube etc.
Any ideas?? Everything was fine until a few weeks ago.

Help when games won't load: Game loading issues such as - why can't I open games on iPad, why can't I play game on Learn4Good?, why is game not downloading?, why does game open slow on Mac, PC?, why is the game page blank, doesn’t finish loading? Flash has a long history with security vulnerabilities that put users at risk, so we can't really give it the green light. The biggest threats to the Mac come from fake Flash Player downloads.

Thanks for taking the time to answer but as I said, I've experienced this issue across several different browers so a reinstall probably isn't the answer.

Q1. The game won’t open for me on my iPad, iPhone or Android-based device. Why is that?
In order to play Flash games, you have to install a web browser which supports Flash on these devices. We recommend Puffin Web Browser because it is one of the fastest web browsers (that we have encountered) that supports Flash Player on iPad, iPhone and Android-based mobile devices. Puffin Web Browser provides a desktop-like web browsing experience (with the help of cloud servers) to tablets and smartphones without the normal need for powerful hardware. It is available to download here for Android.
Q2. The game won't open for me on my PC or Mac. Why is that?
First, try clearing your browser Cache, and then reopen the game page. If you are unsure how to clear your cache, see this very helpful guide or alternatively see these instructions.
If the game doesn't load for you, and you see a blank area, even after waiting for 5 mins (some games are very large, up to 16 Mb in size, and naturally take longer to load without showing anything), you should try clearing your browser's cache.

Why? Because it may hold an incorrect or incomplete file that prevents the game from loading properly. An incomplete file may become loaded if the connection between you and our server gets interrupted momentarily, or if you hit the ‘REFRESH’ or ‘RELOAD’ button on your browser before the game file had the chance to load in full.
Q3. Adobe Flash Player required? What is that message about? The game isn't loading for me, and the page seems to be hanging or is blank..
Some games on Learn4Good.com require free Adobe Flash Player software to play.

Q4. Games Loading Slowly!
Some games are very large, up to 16 Mb in file size, and naturally take longer to load, without showing anything. A slow loading game may also be directly related to your internet connection speed. For example, a regular DSL or Cable internet connection takes 1-2 minutes to download a 16 Mb file.
