I'm experiencing problems viewing webcams in chat rooms and wondered if anyone else is having a similar issue.
I can view webcams but if I (right-click) zoom in on one, the chatroom / site just 'hangs'. It causes my entire browser to freeze, including all other webpages I have open and takes a long while to re-function, if at all. On occasion I have had to close my browser (cntrl, alt, del) to exit the site because of the entire webpage freezing up.
Coincidentally or not, this issue started happening after the major site upgrade. I'm using the latest version of Firefox and the latest version of Flash Player. I uninstalled Flash three times and reverted back to three previous versions just to test if Flash was the culprit yet still the issue remains. I also disabled all add-ons in Firefox to see if this changed anything. Sadly, it didn't.
Out of curiosity, I did try logging on with Internet Explorer and everything seemed fine. However, I don't use I.E, only Firefox.
I certainly have no malware or viruses on my PC, it's clean as a whistle and all my drivers are up to date.
Anyone experiencing similar problems? Is this some kind of bug that needs fixing? Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance:
Frobbz.

Webcam Viewing Issues With Firefox Room Freeze
June Time :
3 Days ago Seems Adobe have been sorting issues out so worth a read of the link.
Also when you enter the Chatroom the following is displayed :
If all else fails try Google Chrome.
Mozilla Firefox temporarily blocks Flash by default
Mozilla blocked Flash Player on Monday as a pre-emptive security measure, but seems unlikely to block Adobe's latest Flash release.

There does also appear to be a problem with Adobe Flash Player on Internet Explorer and Edge web browsers.
If you are confident that your webcam is working, please consider installing and using Google Chrome as your web browser which has its own version of Adobe Flash Player that works.
If you are still struggling, please consider rolling your system back to the previous operating system by going into the Windows menu, choosing Settings, then Update and Security, then following the option to Go back.
If all else fails try Google Chrome.
Hi Meeko,
Thanks for the reply, appreciated.
I read the Adobe Patch Fix article (and various other Adobe-related material) but nothing online appears to offer any resolution to the issue I'm experiencing. Seems there's no quick fix on the horizon and I'm certainly not going thru the unnecessary process of rolling my system back to the previous operating system again and thereafter have to re-install a number of other things.
Chrome ain't an option for me so I'll hang around until someone offers a fix for Firefox.
Thanks again for the reply.
