flash player very slow or crash

Hi,
I'm trying to fix my flashplayer. Movies is working fine (only when I have opened it on one tab), if I'm wathing/loading movies in more than 2 tabs flash player working very slowly or just crash (crash when I'm enabling options "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1" in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg).
I tried already download older version flash player than videos workin fine! but I'm getting info about never version every time when using flash...
so any idea how to fix it ?
I'm using nvidia card so I tried to enable gpu option but didn't help...

Regards,

[edit]
I'm using chromium so I installed as well firefox just to test if will be the same problem and YES it's same problem... so it's flash problem not browser...

Hi,

An alternative may be to install wine, the Windows version of Firefox and Flash, and try it there. If you're on x86-64, then you'll also want to install lib32-nvidia-utils.

This page tells you all you need to know about downgrading a package:

Edit: I would recommend the ARM method for finding an old binary file if you don't have it in your cache.
