Firefox 3.6 when I open a SWF file, a wrong mouse click, it show a recursive open window until the PC resource is used up or the system hang up, I try to reinstall firefox but not solved.

Windows XP SP3, flash player 10.2, Shockwave 11.5.9.240 , when I open a SWF file with firefox 3.6.15, it shows some options to choose action and I made a wrong click. The firefox nightmare is a "open recursive windows" until the system hang. When I use Internet Explorer 8 to open it, it is fine, Try to uninstall firefox and reinstall it, but in vain, how can I restore it?

You don't have the Shockwave Flash Player installed for Firefox. You may have the ActiveX version installed for IE, but Firefox needs the Plugin version. And Shockwave 11.5.9.240 that is installed for Firefox isn't the same thing.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
''Or maybe get the previous '''r102''' version from here. IMO, there's problems with the latest version of Flash.'' 
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

The send buttin is greyed out when I try to text some but not all people from my iPod Touch. This happens even when they have iPhone 4s. Any ideas why and how I can fix this?

This issue can be caused by the McAfee SiteAdvisor extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

When i try to open a .swf file, it goes to adobe device central as default

when i try to open a .swf file, it goes to adobe device central as default. i can't seem to open it in adobe flash????

You likely need to change the default application(s) assigned for opening files to point to the new ones. HOw you do that depends on which operating system you have. If you search Google you should be able to find out how to change the default programs for different files.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Post the exact error message please

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at http:// (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Is this a webpage that contains a link to a flv file? Please post a link to the page and tell us which link(s) are the problem flv files or else post a link to the .flv file itself.
Alternately, click on one of the sample FLV File links on this page and tell us exactly what happens:
http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/flash/video/tutorial/example-flv.html
It might also help if you post the exact error message, including the path to the flv file.
'''Note:'''
Depending on how you have Firefox set up, clicking on a FLV File link will either save the FLV file to your computer or Firefox may open it automatically in an external application right after downloading (Firefox may ask you first). Firefox itself can't play FLV files so you need a "helper" application (or a plugin for flv files, if ther is one. You can see if Firefox is already set up to download or open FLV files by going to Firefox Preferences and looking in the Applications list. Find the FLV file type in the list and, if the action is "Open with", it should show the application that can play FLV files (e.g., VLC Media Player or Perian). See [[Managing filetypes]] for more information.

I am runnig Firefox 18.0.1 and the plugin-container is using all my ram, have tried altering dom.ipc.plugins to false but makes no difference. Any advice please

plugin-container.exe is used to run Flash and other plugins so if they crash they do not take down your main Firefox session. But... I don't think memory usage would be that different if you tricked Firefox into running Flash inside firefox.exe. (There was a thread with the trick, but I can't recall the details. It was not a regular Firefox setting.)

Firefox doesn't finish download, it tells me I may not have the necessary permissions to use all fo the features.

The exact paragraph states this:
"You may not have the necessary permissions to use all of the features of the program you are about to run. You may run this program as a different user or continue to run this program as the current user." But when I try to continue with the current user, or change to a different user it does not let me.

Та же проблема.
Помогает:
1)Нажать правой кнопкой мыши на файле.
2)Выбрать в контекстном меню "Запустить от имени администратора"
Solution:
1)Click right button mouse on .exe file.
2)Switch something about"Run as administrator"

When I open an .swf file in Adobe Flash Pro it doesn't show up.

Hey, I'm having a problem. I have Adobe Flash Professional CS5.5, I'm trying to convert an SWF file to a GIF animation.
What I do is: New-->Actionscript 3.0
Import-->Import to stage-->open my .swf file
It shows the frames of it but it's all blank and it just doesn't show up. Any way to fix this?

You need to have the fla file if you want to create a gif.

Try, in preferences, resetting 64 bit to 32 bits. Should work fine. the older vidoes, etc will not work with 64 bit. Had the same problem/scare. Let us know if this helps and works!
