Adobe Flash 11.3 Crashes in Firefox: Solution is Uninstalling and Downgrading to Flash 10.3 or Flash 11.2 - See Instruction Links -- Query: Should Companies like Adobe be Fined Massively by Governments for Fraud?

Mozilla Firefox Support has advice on Flash 11.3 crashes.

Flash 11.3 crashes on my PC have become so pervasively invasive that I am of the opinion that companies like this should have massive fines imposed upon them by governments for wilfully publishing software that they must know to be faulty - it is a form of fraud because the frequent invasive "send a crash report" pop-ups merely serve as cheap advertising for this monopolistic company.

Mozilla Firefox Support writes:
"Adobe has recently updated Flash to version 11.3. Some users have reported that this version of Flash is crashing more frequently than previous versions of Flash. If you are experiencing excess crashes, please downgrade to Flash 10.3 or Flash 11.2."
Here is the link Mozilla Firefox Support suggests with instructions to downgrade to a more crash-free program -  http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes.

One problem is that browsers and software use Adobe Flash.
Well, if the software is faulty, STOP USING IT!

Adobe are one of the worst monopolists out there and the history of the .pdf format is a lesson in what kinds of intellectual property should never be given any kind of legal protection.

Talk about hampering progress, Adobe is it.
