Weird Flash Issue

Hello Everyone
Okay have a really odd issue with Adobe Flash, its currently making my Firefox browser hang completely or making sites load Extremely slow, youtube won't load neither will a bunch of other heavy flash sites.
If I disable the Shockwave add-on it runs perfect no issues, but I can't run a browser without flash given 90% of web uses flash.
I have run Malware Bytes, Combofix and Avast and nothing unusual has come to light, Ive updated flash and also updated the the Alpha version of Firefox Aurora Browser.
Nothing has fixed it, I also did a full Browser reset and still nothing. Also cleared the caches and did a registry cleanup using CC Cleaner..
SO I though I would ask all you lovely folks here if you can help as to what might be the issue. AND Don't ask me to install CHRONE I bloody HATE IT
Oh flash works fine in IE 10, Not that I want to use IE to browser ofc
This problem only started TODAY, been working fine till last 24 hours
Any Thoughts/Ideas ?

Did you solve this wkdboi? Been happening to me now for a couple of weeks too, Firefox has become unusable because of Shockwave Flash Unresponsive Plugin errors which freeze up my PC! I've been searching for a solution but nobody seems to have one that works

I did solve it wonder I use Ad-Block Plus which blocks Flash on every site unless I manually enable it/tell it to remember for that site.
Works like a treat now
