Shockwave Flash makes Firefox almost freezing. Disabling solves the problem. Known issue?

FF 4.0 (and before) is not responding for a very long time (several minutes) on any website almost from the beginning. The more flash videos are shown only as a black field.

Disabling the Shockwave plugin solves the problem of speed perfectly. But no more chance to view flash videos...

  • Flash makes firefox crash

    Topic kinda says it all; any websites which contains flash makes firefox crash. I believe the problem started 1-2 days ago. I'm clueless, I don't remember there has been any related updates.
    I've tried to move ~/.mozilla somewhere else, and reinstall flashplugin, which not fixed the problem.
    Oh yeah.. opera DOES NOT crash with flash.
    Thanks in advance.

    Aha! That's what I do, yes. Is there anything I can do against this, except for not wrapping it with aoss? Because I quite like how software mixing worked out of the box for me on arch
    I described it here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … highlight=
    in the last post
    It would be nice if someone would add a howto or smth to set firefox to use sound with dmix

  • Quicktime 7.1.5 disabled Shockwave/Flash on Firefox

    After installing QT 7.1.5 yesterday a number of web sites that use Shockwave/Flash no longer work.
    Instead of the video pane that should come up, I get the Quicktime logo with a question mark in it.
    This includes sites like espn.com, youtube.com etc.
    I have tried to uninstall and reinstall both QT and Firefox and nothing works.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    YouTube uses Flash Video and QuickTime (browser plug-in) should not be associated with it.
    Open System Preferences/QuickTime/Advanced tab
    Click the MIME Settings button
    Under Miscellaneous disclosure triangle remove the check mark for Flash Media
    Quit and relaunch your browser to test these changes.

  • Shockwave flash causes firefox 4 crash

    shockwave flash causes firefox 4 hangs. it happens whether using the latest or the previous version of flash. removing flash solves the problem but removing flash is not a solution. this happens on a computer with Windows 7. However on another computer with XP this does not happen.

    #Download a copy of Flash from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and save it to your desktop.
    #Then download the [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html Flash Uninstaller]
    #Close Firefox via File | Exit
    #Run the uninstaller to remove Flash from Firefox. It will also remove it from IE.
    #Reboot
    #Run the Flash installer you downloaded to your desktop earlier (do not start Firefox). This will install it on Firefox only.
    #Open IE and go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and choose Run when you see the prompt.
    #Test the installation in both Firefox and IE by going to: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

  • I have both versions 10 and 12 of shockwave Flash on Firefox OS 26.  I wish to delete or remove V10

    I have both versions 10 and 12 of shockwave Flash on Firefox OS 26.  I wish to delete or remove V10 but can't from any process I know including Windows\system32\macromed\flash  path.  This deletes both of them .
    What next?

    Flash Player Uninstaller
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    I recommend keeping BOTH ActiveX and the regular Player Plugin installed, even if you don't use IE.

  • Since downloading firefoz 4, everytime I make a browser search I get a second page with :"Firefox can't find the file at jar:file://how can I solve the problem. Kindly reply to :ramses1@videotron.ca

    Question
    firefox 4, when I make a browser search I get a second page:"Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///D:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/browser/content/browser/<url></url>", how can I solve the problem.

    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.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

  • HT201412 What if my iphone keeps freezing and I have to restore it to solve the problem?

    Three times in about two weeks, my iphone has just frozen. Apps. recently put on it disappeared or quit responding. Now the power button doesn't work and itunes doesn't pick up my phone to restore it. Restoring it seems to solve the problem for a few days then, it freezes and becomes unresponsive again. This time none of the buttons work. I can't even make phone calls. I keep my phone in an otter box to protect it. At this time, I cannot replace it. The earliest is May. It is out of Warranty.

    Keep holding power and home until apple logo appears.

  • Firefox 4 freezes constantly to the point where I want nothing to do with Firefox ever again but I decided to uninstall and go back to v3.6.17 which works properly

    I googled the problem I was having and found many other users with the same issues, to which there were some suggested causes and solutions. Unfortunately none of those corrected the severe freezing problem which could take up to 10 minutes to clear. Obviously this situation is completely unacceptable and makes IE look like a better alternative.

    Thank you very much for your answer!
    Firefox 4 beta 9 has automatically installed, via "Help > About," version 4 beta 10, afterwards I have installed the desired language packs. Directly after the installation and the restart of Firefox – with all the tabs reopening that were open before Firefox installed 4 beta 10 - the problem with the returning point persisted, only after closing Firefox and opening it again the problem had disappeared – but this time only one new tab opened, no longer the tabs that were open when I closed Firefox!
    As far as the problem with the WMP plugin is concerned: I suppose that the recognition of the installed plugin by Firefox might fail if not all browser windows are closed during installation; in any case, the installation succeeds if you deinstall the plugin with wmpfirefoxplugin.exe and then install it again.
    My menu language currently is still Italian, but the language for displaying pages has changed to French although the order for my preferred languages for displaying pages is still Italian / French / English / Spanish! By the way - how can I switch now between the installed menu languages during one session? I couldn’t find anything in the options like “Choose your preferred language for the menu bar”; it would be logical to place it directly under the button “Choose your preferred language for displaying pages” (or only one single button “Choose your preferred language for displaying pages AND menus”!

  • How do I prevent Firefox from locking up when I click on "Save As" under the "File" menu (resetting Firefox didn't solve the problem)?

    I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium OS on Dell XPS 420 system. Firefox locks up each time I click on "Save As" under the "File" menu. Resetting Firefox did NOT solve the problem. If, instead of using Firefox, I log on to a website using Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer, the "Save As" feature works fine, as it should. I would occasionally like to save a web page, using "Save As" while using Firefox, instead of copying the page to a Word Document, and then saving it.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

    if you try to install an app that depends on adobe air, you should be prompted to download and install adobe air (unless it's already installed).
    you can download and install directly so you're not prompted by that app, Adobe - Adobe AIR
