"Warning: Unresponsive plugin"...what does this mean?????

Hi Guys

I frequently get the above message. The message continues:

"Shockwave Flash may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the plugin now, or you can continue to see if the plugin will complete".

What does it mean? What is a plugin?

I sometimes have more than one, sometimes 3 browser windows open at any one time (Chrome, Safari + Firefox). The reason for the latter is that I have 3 Facebook accounts and that is the only way I can seem to have them all open at once, same for 2 yahoo accounts. (unless anyone know of another way??)

Any advice please. Thanks in advance.

Cheers

J

 

The Flash player plug-in works with the browsers to enable them to play Flash format video within a web page. In Firefox it can be enabled or disabled by going to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins. Do you have the latest version (12.0.0.77) of the plug-in installed?
