Flash Player Constantly crashing

HI,
I've recently downloaded the latest version of adobe flash player (Version 14.0.0.125) and it is now constantly crashing almost every site i go on on the internet - including the adobe website! It happens in every browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE) and nothing seems to work. I've installed and uninstalled the latest versions of everything multiple times now and this is getting ridiculously annoying.
This is what I see:
If you click continue it just comes up with this again a few seconds later if you stop the plugin, as soon as you dare to touch anything it freezes all over again. This includes so much as scrolling down a page, let alone playing videos!
HELP!

I AM ALSO HAVING THIS PROBLEM! I am using the same version of flash player. I am using a MacBook Air OSX 10.9.4. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash player several times. I've tried multiple browsers. Opera was the first one to identify that the problem is with Shockwave Flash Player. It says:
"Shockwave Flash Player is slowing down your Mac"
The browser that is most affected is Google Chrome.
I only started having this problem in the last 2 weeks. I noticed that this tends to happen when multiple facebook tabs are open - but this was never a problem before. HELP! Someone please reply to our problem. This is very frustrating.

  • Flash Player Constantly Crashing w/ FireFox?!

    I've been having a problem playing media on my computer.  Online, instead of playing the music or video (like on youtube or something), it would freeze up firefox for a few minutes then say that my flash player has crashed.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, even installing an older version, but nothing works.  The strangest part is, I can't even play music or video files that are saved on my computer!  I'm thinking it's connected, though I have no idea why.  Please, if anyone knows how to fix this, I'd really appreciate the help.

    I have had the same problem for some time. Not only with Firefox, but with Internet Explorer (7 and 8) and Google Chrome. I am running a Windows 7 Home edition (version 6.1 build 7600) 64 bit O/S, and have read through multiple forums where the web browser is being criticised (unfairly?), and have tried all solutions offered there and here. I have uninstalled and re-installed the adobe flash/shockwave flash at least a dozen times, I have disabled all add-ons to try to isolate if this was a problem, and the flash player wouldnt work at all, but as soon as I enabled the Adobe Actve X the problem began again, so it is not another add-on causing the issue. I have disabled the hardware acceleration. Still a problem.
    I am running version 10,1,102,64 of Adobe Flash Player
    Firefox version 3.6.12
    Internet Explorer version 8.0.7600.16385
    Google Chrome version 7.0.517.41
    I use Windows updater so I am assuming that all Service packs, drivers etc are up to date.
    I use Avast Antivirus
    Any help to solve this ongoing very frustrating problem would be much appreciated. It used to be that after un-installing and re-installing Flash it worked for a few weeks before constantly crashing, this last time it is crashing immediately, hence I am posting here.

  • I need help with new flash player constantly crashing

    Ever since updating the flash player it is constantly crashing. I have updated firefox also which constantly crashes. Firefox is pointing the finger at the flash player..... I need someone who will work with me step by step as i am not a computer tech. The two websites i visit that the flash player crashes on is www.myspace.com while playing mobsters and mafia wars, and www.smallworlds.com which is a 3d interactive " chat room ". I have tried removing the flash player and going with an older version, but it continues to kick me to the updated version...Please help!

    Hi, thanks for your Flash file info. You have the SWFlash.ocx that is old. Right click on that one and Remove/Delete it.
    Your SWF plug-in is correct as well as the remainder of your Flash files. The SWFlash.ocx that needs removed is conflicting.
    The Windows Firewall should be used. Now I see that you have not updated to the Windows XP Service Pack 3, which is the latest. I would recommend that you do that. Many improvements and security issues are included in that. You can go to the Microsoft site for that.
    After you do that, Microsoft has the Microsoft Security Essentials which is a free program and has the Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware features. It does not include a Firewall nor are there any browser add ons that would conflict with your browser, other add ons or Flash Player.
    I'm not sure of the system requirements for the MSE, but check. You may need the updated Service Pack first. Before you Install the MSE tho, make sure no other anti-virus is still Installed. The one you mentioned needs Uninstalled and you need to check if they have an Uninstaller and do that first.
    Whether you do any of what I suggested or not, you need to Remove that SWFlash.ocx. I would reboot(restart) your computer afterwards.
    P.S. Firefox has updated to 3.6.8 and you can do that anytime.
    Thanks,

  • Flash Player constantly crashes on Firefox and Chrome, works on Safari

    Hello!
    This is my first time posting here. I've been working on this all day and have made NO progress.
    I'm on a Mac OS X 10.9.3 (this was also happening with 10.9.2, I applied the 10.9.3 update today hoping it would make difference).
    ANY version of Flash Player I've installed today has worked fine on Safari, and not worked on both Chrome and Firefox. I've uninstalled reinstalled both Firefox and Chrome many times. Both browsers are up to date (Chrome v34, Firefox v29). There are no logs or anything ever.
    The plugin runs for a little bit then dies. I've tried reverting to version 12, and version 11, neither made a difference. I've done the whole disable the pepper plugin with Chrome and had Chrome using the other one I had installed. No difference.
    I'm OUT of ideas and can't find any other information or help with this. PLEASE HELP!

    Your issue is distinct from the original poster's issue about a crash on Mac.  I've branched this out to a new thread so that we're not confusing everyone.
    Firefox on Win8 isn't very stable.  We're collaborating with Mozilla on improvements, and my test results with the daily development builds are really promising, but it will be a few more weeks before they actually make it to production releases.
    In the meantime, you're way better off using IE or Chrome.

    This is the latest version.  I used the uninstaller tool and did a fresh reinstall. I did not delete all the directories from the old setting, so that might be next, but I feel like I am grasping at straws here.
    The firefox installation is also the latest version.  I am on Windows 7 x64. Dual Xeons.
    I do notice the flash control panel says (32 bit), which seems odd.
    I read where it said to try turning off hardware acceleration, but I do not have such a setting in my CP, and I cannot get the flash player to work long enough to use the old settings panel.
    Can someone give me some steps to isolate the problem?

    OK, now. I have not used facebook on firefox in a few days, and I have not seen the flash crashes.
    In fact, no firefox crashes.  But I now have  20 in the last 5 minutes.
    Not flash, however.
    Could be something else, or this could be all related.
    Flash is working on my fitbit dashboard, so that's just *not* the problem. Or not at the moment.
    This crash dump is quite a bit different from the last one.

  • Adobe Flash player keeps crashing, but it's up to date on my computer. So is Firefox. Help?

    For some reason, starting today, every page I visit on Firefox (no matter what) comes up with a notification that the Adobe Flash Player plugin has crashed. It started when I was trying to attach a word document to an email to one of my professors on my Google-supported school email account. Every time I tried to attach the document, Flash Player crashed and it wouldn't upload. I finally had to send it using my Live email, which worked, but now Flash Player crashes on every webpage I visit in about 2 seconds. My Flash Player is up to date, as is my version of Firefox. What's going on here? (Note: None of the information of the "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" page was helpful at all.)

    Yes, this has been a problem for a lot of people. ADOBE just released Flash Player 11.0.1.152, and that seems to have fixed the problem. It still am finding it a bit laggy to load Flash scripts, but it no longer displays the crashed window.
    You can download the file from the official Flash website here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

  • Flash Player 13 crashes with Mac OS X 10.6.8

    Any version of Flash Player 13 crashes on activation.
    Installing FP 12 as suggested allows Flash Player to work, but FF 28 plugin check complains "Out of Date" plugin. Update.
    How serious is the security issue of running this older version of Flash Player?
    (How serious is tricking the Java Installer to ignore the >OS 10.7.2 restriction?)
    Thanks.

    Adobe is aware of this problem. Unfortunately, in order to make both Firefox and Safari happy, you probably do have to use Firefox 12. This thread has more info and links:

  • Flash Player 9 Crashes Without An Error Message

    Hello,
    Since I downloaded the latest update of Flash Player 9
    (december 2007?), my problems started. Flash Player 9 crashes (IE7)
    without an error message at sites like:
    Zoo Tycoon.com
    My own site
    And many more.
    To give you guys as much information as possible about the
    problem:
    - The first site shouldn't give a warning, and it didn't,
    till I downloaded the update of Flash Player 9. It now looks like
    this >
    Screen
    - The second site is my own site, which should look like this
    >
    Screen
    (Screen is made at an older PC, which hasn't got the update of FP9
    installed!)
    - It now looks like this>
    Screen
    (Screen is made at my current PC, Windows XP with the update
    installed.)
    - I also can't upload pictures at some sites, because they
    require Flash >
    Screen
    - Adobe says I've succesfully installed the latest version of
    Flash Player, version 9.0.115.0 >
    Screen
    My system is:
    - Microsoft Windows XP
    - Home Edition
    - Version 2002
    - Service Pack 2
    - Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz
    - Clock Rate 3.01GHz, 1.50GB
    - Internet Explorer 7
    I'm now forced to use an older machine, Windows 2000, to
    update my site and view other sites, because that PC doesn't have
    the Flash Player update installed. ;)
    Things I tried to solve the problem:
    - Uninstall and reinstall
    - Read and tried all the Troubleshooters at this site
    - Adobe's uninstall program
    - SubInACL
    - Installed an older version of Flash Player (7 & 8)
    - Regedit
    - Manually renamed the files in the SYSTEM32/Macromed/Flash
    folder (like explained on the forum)
    Could someone please help me? I'm probably not the only one
    dealing with this problem...
    Regards,
    Sophie
    P.S.: I'm Dutch, so please don't mind my English....
    :)

    Is there no-one who knows the answer? And nobody who has the
    same problem? :(

  • My adobe flash player keeps crashing. Why?

    I use Mozilla Firefox exclusively as my browser. When I am connected to Facebook and playing their casino games, the Adobe Flash player keeps randomly crashing. When it crashes, it locks up the computer and I have to shut down and reopen the browser. Recently, an information box has been opening up in the upper left corner of the screen called the Adobe Flash Player action box or something like that. The context is filled with lots of computer jargon I don't understand. At the bottom of the box there are 2 options to pick from, either dismiss or continue. Most of the time the screen freezes up before I've had the chance to pick one. After I go to the Windows task manager and shut down the boxes that were open, I get the normal gray "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" screen. The really odd thing is that there is no prompt allowing me to send a crash report to Mozilla. I have uninstalled and completely reinstalled the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. Just in case these might be a problem, I have the following 3 "add-ons" loaded in to the browser: Quick Time Plug-in 7.7.6 7.7.6.0, Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.305, and Shockwave for Director 12.1.7.157. As well, in case they might be the problem, I have the following 2 programs installed into my computer are: Adobe Flash Player 16 NPAPI and Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1. FYI: I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit. Hopefully I have given you enough information to make an assessment. If you need anything from me, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

    Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as YouTube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
    * [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
    * [[Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again]]

  • Adobe Flash Player Update crash

    "Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem ..."
    I'm trying to answer this question, but don't know how to do it. So I'm starting new discussion.
    I’ve had this problem for over a month and have reinstalled adobe flash player multiple times.
    But now, I think I finally have the answer.
    My tech downloaded the adobe flash player “installer” today.
    But I think the key is to
    1) start / run,
    2) enter “services.msc,
    3) go to adobe flash player update services
    4) right click to get to properties 
    5) change startup type to ‘Automatic” and service status to “Stopped”.

    I stumbled upon something that worked although I don't know why the two items are related. I was resetting FireFox in another attempt to get the latest Flash player to work and noticed that my Java Console was disabled. I don't remember ever disabling it but I turned it back on and suddenly, the Flash player stopped crashing.
    Maybe this will help someone else.

    I have had the same problem with firefox on facebook. It has happened for the last couple weeks. I can receive gifts under requests and every game I try crashes. I can usually read my homepage. this is getting really bad. I have cleared caches,downloaded what I am told to download to update, and cleared history and cookies and still happens , and have been told to get rid of firefox. what is the problem? and when I sent reports , nothing. and sent emails to all the games and told them and asked for help and never get responses. should I through the computer out the window, or delete you? I know they keep changing things on the games and that usually crashes stuff on mine, but all the time? this sucks. and I probably won't get a response from you either,but if this continues I will have to say, bye bye.It's ridiculous..before the crashes, it would take me over 2 hours to do a game and work on it. there was life before this and will be afterwards. it also happens on my regular email..not the crashing, but so slow and the download goes up and goes way down to almost nothing and keeps doing that.please help us all..thanks.

  • Flash Player 10 Crashing/Freezing IE 8

    I've recently upgraded my laptop to Widows 7 and everytime I go to a site supporting Flash Player it crashes my Internet Explore 8 (The browser just freezes and is "not responding).  I've tried the following:
    1.  Uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player.  I do use http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html to unistall.
    2.  Tried both 32 bit and 64 bit version of Internet Explorer.  I know Flash Player only supports 32 bit.
    3.  Tried using Google Chrome.   Browser still freezes.
    4. Tried different sites.  I've tried a number of sites and same issue reoccurs.  In fact, when I go to www.adobe.com the current video clip ("Avatar") freezes the browser.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you

    I was growing tired of hearing this question, so I checked in with management and wrote a technote about the topic.. Generally IE8 is fine, but as with any new release there could be issues, so this doc covers how you'll deal with those:

  • The new flash player update crashes internet explorer and firefox

    The new flash player update crashes internet explorer and firefox, please send a new release to fix the problem ASAP!

    ok   here's more mystery.  i just uninstalled and reinstalled flash player using the adobe uninstaller and rebooting after each step.  aqlso installed latest java.  i started looking at videos and here are the ones that worked: you tube
                                                                                           imdb
                                                                                           hulu
                                                                                           ebaumsworld
                                      here are the ones that didn't work:    yahoo
                                                                                           msn
                                                                                           reuters
                                    here are the ones that partially worked: the blaze (works on videos that originate from you tube, but not from news stories)
