Hey, so I recently started using firefox and I'm having trouble with flash. When I view youtube in fullscreen, adobe flash player pops up on the task bar

Is there any way to make it go away?

The trick is to stop using Firefox. Opera master race

I love Chrome & Opera, it's just it sucks at handling youtube.

Watching a 4K video on fullscreen is so laggy. Also, watching HD videos on fullscreen on my 4K monitor is just kinda blurry at times

 

 

I just want to watch kpop without problems :(

Oh, no 4K display to test.  :wacko: 
Maybe you can try disable Chrome's Pepper Flash?

 

Just tested my Nightly, no extra flash popup in the taskbar while on fullscreen youtube.
