Shockware flash is unresponsive and I cannot play videos on firefox..Please help???

I have a constant problem with shockwave. I have shockwave flash 15 plug in installed and am using FF 33.0.2
I constantly get a message that shockwave flash maybe busy or may have become unresponsive. It completely freezes up my Firefox. So I cannot watch any videos using Firefox.
Everything works perfectly on Chrome.
I have tried all the solutions previously suggested such as disabling hardware acceleration but nothing helps.
I am ready to absolutely ditch Firefox..... This is so frustrating..

Does it make any difference to disable the protected mode feature? The feature has security benefits, but is not compatible with all systems for some reason. You can disable it by creating or editing a settings file.
The following pages/posts provide different approaches for that:
* Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
* Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
* Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
You may need to exit and start Firefox up again before this takes effect.
Any improvement?

    Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

    I'm using OS X Mavericks and Safari cannot play videos on Apple website. Any clue?

    Usually, that's due to a DivX plug-in or Safari extension... start with Safari - Preferences - Extensions & switch them off. If nothing there, see Safari - Help - Installed Plug-ins & note any that are for DivX.

    Hello Pam.
    Go into Tools > Add-ons > Plugins and see if Flash is installed. If not, install it ( [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+the+Flash+plugin] ). That should let you watch YouTube videos.
    If you already have Flash in your Firefox, make sure it's up to date. If it is and it still doesn't work on YouTube, you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons, except Flash (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  • After trying all procedures I can find in Flash Player Help I still cannot play videos on Firefox, I

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit and have tried every procedure I can find, and I still cannot get video on any browser.

    Do you mean you can not play video but you can play game or other Flash contents?
    What about version info page which is extremely simple Flash contents?

  • Why did FF start to freeze, flash the cursor and refuse to play videos yesterday?

    Basically out of nowhere YouTube stopped loading Videos. At first other Streams would still work but by now I only get a black square, where the clip should appear. Pretty much at the same time, whenever a YouTube tab was open, even without a player in it the "thinking wheel" appeared at the cursor an started flashing (strangely it stops when I mouseover a link) and from time to time the whole browser freezes für about 30 seconds. Everything is fine in Chrome and IE
    I've gone through several forums trying to solve at least one of the issues, but nothing worked. My failed attemps so far were:
    -update all plugins
    -update all players
    -update FF though FF itself refused to do so and I had to download the install.exe with chrome
    -restart FF
    -reset FF
    -delete and reinstall FF
    -restarting the pc
    -clearing the cache
    -clearing the cookies
    -disable hardware acceleration
    -FF safe mode
    -switching off caret browsing
    -enabled HTML5 in YouTube
    So, mighty race of men, a chance for you to show your quality!

    Is it possible that some sites may be blocking this the one that is titled: [This plug-in enables downloading of Flash videos]
    There were some login issues that day [http://downdetector.com/status/youtube/news/7830-problems-at-youtube-3] There would have been issues if you were logged in. However it looks like this has cleared up, have you still experienced issues over the weekend?
    If so, try to create a new profile and access the youtube videos while you are not logged into your youtube account. If you have a login cookie at the site, log out and back in again to create a new cookie.

  • We have iPhoto and Mavericks - Cannot play video and get error (OSStatus error -54). Have run permissions and rebuilt iphoto database.. This is most valuable 3 minute movie file I have... Help

    Has anyone a clue how I can save myself from losing most valuable video clip I have ever taken.? Have a fully up to date Macbbok pro retina and most recent iPhoto. Had 55,000 pictures and a few videos in iTunes database. Just a few months ago also installed iCloud. Now find my London Big Ben Fireworks shot of fireworks at midnight coming from clock just returns -54 error when I click it to play. Did a rebuild and permissions attempt at fixing without success. The front picture of start of video shows at start of pictures but only error box now pops up.
    I had a time machine backup that goes back some months and a old computer it may have been on but have not found it yet.
    I do not want to risk losing anything.  We are just finishing cruise of England and Med on our small boat-home and do not want to lose photos of our memories. Thought they were safe since in iTunes and backed up to TIME machine, and now learn they cannot be pulled out separately... Can anyone help us?
    Thanks. I am grateful for any help or ideas while we float out the winter here in England before trying to sail back to America next year.
    Happy Holidays.

    I could not find the original file.
    I did find a file folder named MASTERS.
    I did click down in it to where all the other original files seem to be listed in order.
    They are listed in files showing (name); (date modified); (date created); (size); (kind); and (date added)
    There is a symbol showing each file type, with one file type for photos and a separate symbol showing the movies before each file.
    All of them that are showing properly are listed in order with their name sequentially, ie:
    DSCN4738.JPG
    DSCN4739.JPG
    DSCN4740.JPG
    DSCN4742.MOV
    DSCN4743.MOV
    DSCN4744.MOV
    My valuable movie that now won't play is shown in iPhoto viewing page listing labeled DSCN4741.MOV
    I think I find it later...
    OUT OF SEQUENCE APPROXIMATELY 14 files later I show the file that is shown on the listing info when viewing now named
    New Years Eve Fireworks.MOV  1/1/12 Jan 1, 2012, 12:58 AM  258.1MB  QuickTime file  Feb 21, 2013, 3:46 PM
    NOTE: The creation time is exactly where it should be in sequence but camera taken with was off an hour
    Also, all files in list show the Feb 21, 2013 date - which is date Apple Store migrated my old computers files, which would have included my iPhoto library from my old MACBOOK PRO to the new one.
    I do now remember that in past I had played some of the files from the computer by clicking on them directly in the early hours of the morning - showing some of them to a friend - while messing around demoing this MacBk Pro Retina...
    Though I do not have a clear recall of it recall earlier having a hard time finding this file. I am now certain - based on the circumstantial evidence - I must have changed the name from DSCN4741.MOV to the name shown at the first line of the listing two paragraphs up.
    Now my quandary is how do I escape this mess I made for myself and restore it. I clearly am -- despite being 68 -- being more of a "script kiddie" than a "hacker", but not a competent one of either!
    Thanks for your help in analyzing this Terence, and hope you can help me fix my screwing it up.  Ed

    thanks for your help.

    Try resetting the device. The hard drive may not be full, but the device RAM might be. If resetting doesn't work then perhaps you have many large playlists and these are reducing the amount of free RAM for games.

  • PS 6, Windows 7 64; installed second monitor and when renaming in bridge both screens fill with large film strip and I cannot get back to normal; please help!

    @

    Try a reset (click on that down pointing arrow) and also  if you have a Mac, toggle the green resize button. It usually forces Bridge to resize to the screen.
    If worse comes to worse, reset Bridge's Preferences as explained here: Troubleshoot errors, freezes | Adobe Bridge | Windows, Mac OS
    When I use a external larger monitor, I select just that monitor.
