Hi !
The latest "update" to Adobe Flash Player is a joke, Firefox v.13.01 freezes completely !
And i´m not the only one having problems...
Do a search and you´ll see a lot of others too on different forums.
So i´m (again) back to Flash Player 11.2...
Some Info about Adobe Flash Player 11.2:

Player files and locations
Adobe Flash Player is normally deployed as a browser plug-in or ActiveX control. For each player environment, two versions of Flash Player are available—a “Content Debugger” version for developers, and a “Release” version for end users. The Content Debugger player is installed with the development environment.
This player implements the same feature set as the Release player, but also displays run-time errors. Each of these implementations is described in this section.
Note: There is also a stand-alone player, but it’s usually installed by the development tools, not deployed by administrators.
Firefox/Mozilla plug-in architectureMozilla, Mozilla-based browsers (such as Firefox), and the Safari browser on the Macintosh use this plug-in.
Windows plug-in filenames and locations
On Windows, files named NPSWF32.dll (NPSWF64.dll for 64-bit Windows) and flashplayer.xpt are installed.
The installer places these files in directories that differ by OS version, as follows:
• 32-bit Windows - %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash
• 64-bit Windows, 32-bit mode - %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash
• 64-bit Windows - %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash
Note: The %WINDIR% location represents the Windows system directory, such as C:\WINDOWS.
The Windows plug-in installer also places a broker application called FlashUtilnnn_Plugin.exe in the same directory as the Flash Player Plug-in DLL.
The nnn changes with each release. NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe includes functionality required by Windows Vista, Windows 7, and as an uninstall mechanism.
ActiveX Control on WindowsThe ActiveX control is used by Microsoft Internet Explorer as well as certain other applications, such as Microsoft Powerpoint and Yahoo Messenger.
The player is an OCX file whose name reflects the version number and unique letter for each subsequent release (if any) of the player.
For example, for the initial release of Flash Player 10, the Release player filename is Flash10a.ocx and the Content Debugger player filename is FlDbg10a.ocx. For Flash Player 10.1, both the Release and Content Debugger versions are called Flash10h.ocx.
Note: Files for use with 64-bit Windows in 64-bit mode have 64 in the title (for example, Flash64_11_0_1.ocx).FLASH PLAYER ADMINISTRATION GUIDE
The installer places these OCX files in directories that differ by OS version, as follows:
• 32-bit Windows - %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash
• 64-bit Windows, 32-bit mode - %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash
• 64-bit Windows - %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash
Note: The %WINDIR% location represents the Windows system directory, such as C:\WINDOWS.
