CAVEAT: ALL of the below may be FALSE IF the real issue is because I, MYSELF have a driver that was not updated. So, it might be MY ERROR. I'll find that out as soon as my Sister helps me update or see if my drivers need updating. I can't remember what drivers I have.
I have never ever in my entire life seen such crappy Olympic coverage online. Okay, maybe I had. Silverline was crap. However, this time Firefox keeps crashing on me every time I try to watch a video. Adobe Flash has been crashing on me with every update. I know they are trying to fix that issue (or I think they are). I've seen enough updates that just seem to indicate that maybe they are trying to fix it. However, I can NOT watch Handball. I can NOT watch Fencing. Both streams kept crashing and I know for a fact that it is NOT YouTube having issues because of server load. Google proved their worth long ago with the Royal Wedding coverage. I had no issues there ever.
However, here, I've had nothing but issues. Firefox has ALWAYS had the bombing issue if you have more then 1 window up, except when that 2nd window is only Gchat. Firefox does NOT allocate enough bandwidth to the 2nd window, but instead cheats it severely.
YouTube is often watched by millions of customers every day, and often at the same time. YouTube has not given me as much issues. Yes, yes, I've had some issues on YouTube, but its nothing like this. Adobe Flash plug-in is not working right, and keeps bombing. It even says that Adobe Flash has bombed. I've gone to website that use Flash adverts or Flash programming instead of HTML5 and CSS3 to get the same results, and that Flash has bombed. It is definitely Flash and not YouTube.
My wish is for Google to be allowed to take over Adobe Flash and own it, and milk it as their own. They would fix it so that it would work. BTW, I'm watching the events that aren't popular and still having issues. Go figure. I'm off to go do something else. NBC doesn't think I give a darn about Fencing beyond USA. They be very wrong. NBC thinks I only want to watch the very popular sports and only USA's involvement in them. They be very wrong. Too bad Adobe had to muck up Flash yet again!

Sometimes I write in "Devils Advocate" mode just to make a point, or to get you to feel how I really feel, in the only way I know how. Thanks! I'm moderating all comments for this reason.
