my computer is all messed up, it is going MUCH slower than normal does. almost every time i go to a new page it says....
"shockwave flash - - the plug-in has performed an illegal operation. you are strongly advised to restart firefox."
alot of times it will close the page and say that it has encountered a problem or something.
and if i watch a video it will freeze up the page and i have to close it.
please explain exactly what is wrong and what i need to do!

If this does not happen when you use Microsoft's Internet explorer I would follow the strongly recommended procedure. Only re-install firefox instead of restarting it, followed by any plug-ins you have added to it.
If this happens in explorer also I would suspect a virus but it doesn't seem like the problem.
Check out IE. Every Windows system has it and see if you are find there. If you did not install Firefox then whoever did will have to help.
All Windows systems slow down over time and the more you have on your hard drive the slower it may get. Have you de-fraged your hard drive? That may help.
