Flash plug-in crashes about 50% of the time

Like the title says, my Flash plugin keeps crashing.

It happens on videos on many sites like YouTube. (I joined the html5 beta at YouTube to sort that out, but that doesn't fix other sites.) The crash seems to occur on any site using Adobe Flash, and is becoming very annoying.

I'm using 12.04 with Firefox and used the flash-helper plug-in as well but the same result.

I found that editing /etc/adobe/mms.cfg solved my problem, just as the some of those in the link above did.

First, open the file for editing, which will create it for your if it didn't exist already:

sudo gedit /etc/adobe/mms.cfg

Then, enter the following line exactly as you see here:

OverrideGPUValidation=true

Save the file, close gedit, and restart your browser. Hopefully this will resolve your issue.
