Flash crashing on Nightly and 6.0 when new tabs are opened

Say I open a YouTube video, it works fine until I open a new tab or open a new instance of Firefox. Flash will then crash.
It doesn't resolve itself by removing and reinstalling flash, or updating Firefox in any form.
This has only happened as of today.

hello, you may have adware present on your system. please try these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

  • Flash works, but causes IE8 to hang when multiple tabs are open

    I have a problem which is very consistent...  If I open IE8 to my home page (non flash), then open another tab (and go no where, just a clean tab) and then try to close IE completely (saying yes to close all tabs prompt).  IE hangs for about 30 seconds before shutting down.  If I disable the add-on for flash and then repeat the steps, IE closes right away without incident.  Any thoughts?  Happens every time...
    As a side note, this is a XenDesktop Windows 7 image fully patched and running the most current version of the Flash plug-in.
    Thanks in advance!

  • After Installing Bitdefender 2011 Firefox is very slow and worse when multiple tabs are open

    Firefox performs very poorly after I installed Bitdefender 2011. There was no such problem with Bitdefender 2009. When multiple tabs are open, switching between them is not possible until tab contents are completed.

    As ninjafox says, the problem seems to be the BitDefender Anti-phishing Toolbar. Disabling this through Tools -> Add-ons and restarting Firefox seems to fix the problem for that session. However, the problem then reappears when the computer is restarted, presumably because BitDefender re-enables the toolbar.
    Another way of disabling all add-ons when starting Firefox is to hold down Shift while clicking on the icon (Windows only I think - at least doesn't work on Ubuntu for me).

  • Graphical errors. The Address dropdown box is blacked out, and goes normal when highlighted, tabs are blacked out, buttons are half missing etc etc. This ONLY happens in firefox, reinstalled and turn all add-ons off and it persists.

  • Safari warning before quitting when multiple tabs are open?

    I'm a rather clumsy typist who often uses Apple+Tab to toggle through my open programs. This works great 99% of the time, but that other 1% is rather frustrating considering that the Q key is right next to Tab.
    Apple guys, please implement a pop up/drop down warning when attempting to quit Safari when multiple tabs are open (or at least the option to enable or disable it). I use this browser for work and often have many tabs open, so accidentally quitting the browser only impedes on my workday. I know I should be more accurate, but isn't that what part of progress is? The empowerment of laziness? =)
    Thanks for your time, and hopefully we see this included in soon-to-come upgrades!
    Oh, and if this feature is already available, feel free to show me the way.

    jefftovar,
    I created and modified the Safari Keyboard Shortcut
    Quit (⌘+Q) command to (⌘ControlQ) by using System
    Preferences...>Keyboard Shortcuts.
    ;~)
    Great suggestion! But, the default Quit (⌘+Q) command is still in effect. I've looked about in trying to deactivate it, but can't seem to find it. How did you get rid of yours?

  • A lot of memory is used when multiple tabs are open

    Is there anything that can be done about the insane memory usage in Firefox when multiple tabs are open? I often have 20+ tabs open and the amount of RAM that Firefox uses when I have it open with this many tabs is just ridiculous. As an example of this, I just restarted Firefox after checking the Windows Task Manager. The Task manager said that Firefox was using 1.2 GB of RAM. I did have 32 tabs open, but this seems excessive even for this many tabs. Some of the tabs were image heavy, but none of them had any video in them. I'd think 10 MB per tab of RAM would be plenty to cover these kinds of pages, maybe 20 MB at most. The upper end of that range would be 640 MB of RAM. Instead, it appears to be using an average of 40 MB of RAM per page when this many tabs are open.
    Is there anything that can be done to reduce amount of memory being used when multiple tabs are open? It really shouldn't need this much RAM to serve this many pages.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Firefox is crashing when multiple tabs are open

    I have used Firefox for years but have never had so much trouble as I am having in the last few days. Constant crashing when I have multiple tabs open. I used to be able to have as many as a dozen tabs open. Now if I have as few as 3, crash after crash after crash after crash. On both my laptop and PC. I have run all my antivirus and nothing is coming up there. Anyone know what the heck is going on?

  • High memory usage when many tabs are open (and closed)

    When I open Firefox the memory usage is about 70-100 MB RAM. When I'm working with Firefox I often open 15-20 tabs at once, then I close them and open others. Memory usage increaes up to 450 - 500 MB RAM. After closing the tabs the usage usually decreases, but after sometime. It starts decreasing very slow and never comes back to the level from the beginning. After few hours of work Firefox uses about 400 MB RAM even if one tab is open. First I thought it's because of my plugins (Firebug, Speed Dial, Adlock Plus) but I've checked it and it's not. I reinstalled Firefox but the problem occurs as well. I'm not sure if it's normal. Could you help me, please?

  • Stop airplane sound when new tab is open on Mac.

    Please share the steps to stop this from being heard.

    I'm on a Windows 7 PC, but had the same problem since re-setting FF following a nasty "Ads by Info" infection. None of the suggested solutions here or on other forums worked. Finally found a setting for the NoScript plugin (a must, IMO): under the Notifications tab, unticked "Audio feedback when scripts are blocked." That was it - NoScript was blocking scripts on new tabs, causing the notification. Also happened when first clicking on an unviewed tab. A-OK now!

  • CPU usage when 5 tabs are open and all idling is 35% of 38% total and fan active alot

    It seems to me in the last week or so, Firefox has been consuming alot of CPU cycles. This is when my laptop is idling. I know because I monitor by looking at the taskmgr. I see that it takes up 80-90% of the CPU which show as high as 35-40%.

    Hi a few days ago I had thought to post it, I have the same computer as the teammatebut a GTX460 @ 4.7 and MPE using colorful II if I use my video in the timeline onlystutters, and a cpu usage of 30 %.
    This is normal?

  • When 40+ tabs are open, black boxes start randomly covering screen

    This is a weird one, and I couldn't find anything describing problems like it elsewhere.
    If I have about 40 or more tabs open, black stripes and blocks start covering the screen. If I move my pointer, they start forming more where the pointer goes. After maybe 30 seconds, if I move my pointer, the black areas go away where the pointer goes. Sometimes if I do nothing, all of the black areas go away on their own. It's almost as if Firefox can't render the page and it takes it that 30 seconds to regain the ability to do so. Bizarre!
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello rch427, try '''disabling graphics hardware acceleration'''. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    #Open Firefox ''Options'' window as follows: click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options''
    #In the Firefox Options window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. '''Uncheck''' this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Prevent windows closing when tabs are open

    Safari closes windows without warning even when multiple tabs are open. This is even more of a problem with the Close button just above the Back button (I tend toward mouse vs keyboard control). I know this has been discussed before, but the solutions either aren't currently available (Taboo) or no longer seem to have the warning tool (Safari Enhancer).
    Can Safari do this on it's own (issue a warning before closing pages with multiple tabs open)? If so, how? If not, anyone have a solution?
    Thanks,
    Carl

    Hi Carl
    3rd party add-on SAFT has a close window warning as one of its many features. This same feature is also available in Safari 3 Beta via the Safari Preferences>Tab panel. Beta 3 could be installed on your MacBook (requires either 10.4.9 or 10.4.10), but not the other machine.
    Beta 3 is available here. If you decide to try it, do not use the computer during the install. After the restart Safari 3 will be in your applications folder. If you use any 3rd party items, such as SafariPlus, SAFT, etc. make sure you have the latest version installed. Same with Adobe Reader (8.1) and Flash (at least 9.0.28).
    If you decide to uninstall the Beta, there is an Uninstaller in the Installation package. This is the only way to safely revert back to Safari 2.0.4.
