64 bit Flash crashing Firefox - Not just Arch

Hi everybody,
I was wondering if anybody else is having a problem with 64 bit Flash. This isn't Arch specific, as it has happened on a custom Ubuntu remaster as well.
The graphics card is on a laptop - Ati 9600 and it happens with vesa and ati/radeon drivers. I thought it was the graphics card or xorg, but this doesn't happen with a 32bit Dreamlinux with 32bit Flash.
Youtube runs fine, whereas sites like http://www.goober.com/ with flash video just shutdown Firefox. I'm wondering of there are different types of flash video, does anybody with more knowledge know about these things?
When Firefox is started from the terminal (to look for an error message) it just says segfault.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Help! Flash on Firefox Not Working!

All was fine with flash player on firefox, then all of a
sudden I started to get messages that flash player was not
installed - that I needed to add the plug in and when I would click
on the prompt, it would say I had to do it manually. I did it
manually, said the installation setup was complete, but nothing is
there. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, repairing, I even
uninstalled and reinstalled firefox all to no avail. It works on
IE, but firefox is my default. Help me please! What can I
do?

I am facing similar problems in windows 7 platform. I updated both my browser and my flash plugin yesterday and since then I am not able to play any video on youtube. Every time I start a video I get the message "An error occured, please try again". However, the same video works fine on Google Chrome.
I have tried all the above suggested methods, but no results. I also tried to revert back to FF 29.0.1 and shockwave flash player version 12.0.0.9. But I am still not able to play any video.
Same thing occurred in my laptop as well as on my desktop.

Flash crashes firefox. Done with firefox as of today. It has been months of this broken buggy browser. Done!

Why does firefox not work anymore. I've tried all of the suggestions to fix it, but any page that has ads (which is all of them these days) firefox slows to a near halt, and then eventually crashes. Can't be used any more. I'm using Chrome which doesn't seem to crash. What did you guys do to this browser? I've been using it for years with no issues, now it's broken.

Have you asked for help in the past on this issue?

Error message "Warning: Unresponsive Plugin" flash crashes when not connected to HDMI

EVERY time I try to open a web page that has a video like Facebook or Youtube, I get an error message saying "Warning: Unresponsive Plugin" and the flash ultimately crashes. I tried updating the flash plugin and the problem was not solved. I recently noticed that when I plugged my laptop to my HDTV via an HDMI cable that this problem was not occuring. As soon as I took out the HDMI cable and went to Youtube I got the error message. Is there an option that might need to be changed that's causing this problem? I tried opening those pages in Internet Explorer and got a very similar error. It's probably not a Firefox problem but I'm hoping to find out if there is something in my PC that needs to be modified for this error to not occur again.

Hi alrayes,
I suspect it is an issue with your video drivers.
If you go to your PC manufacturer's website (e.g. Dell, HP,...) and look up your model they should have links to download the drivers.
Alternatively, (assuming your PC does not have integrated graphics) you can go to your video card manufacturer's website, and they will have the very latest drivers.
Let us know if you figure it out.

Adobe Flash crash fix not effective on all sites

I'm running Firefox 3.26.28, which has suited me fine. Yesterday I made the mistake of "upgrading" to Flash 11.3 & met the endless crashes described elsewhere. Figuring that returning to Flash 10.3 might get Firefox working again, I uninstalled 11.3, downloaded the 10.3 installer, & successfully installed 10.3. Firefox is stable again & Flash works at (for example) YouTube. However, if I try to add a photo to an eBay sale page, eBay (?) puts up a message saying I can't use its better photo gadget unless I install Flash, that is, it no longer recognizes 10.3, even though it did previously. I hope there's a fix here, because I don't expect much from Adobe or eBay.

You should first update to Firefox 15, as Firefox 3.6 is not supported and no longer receives updates, meaning it is currently insecure. After upgrading, I'd suggest updating to Flash 11.4 and disable protected mode. [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0]

Flash crashing Firefox

Hey everyone,
I've searched this problem to death, and I'm not finding the answer. What is happening is every time I view a myspace page with a music player, I get the color wheel that spins and spins forcing me to Force Quit of of firefox. It occasionally happens with other flash sites like Youtube. When I restart my computer, it works great for about 5 minutes, then starts doing it again. So I got a thing called Flashblock that allows me so click on the flash object I'd like to see. So when I go to a bands myspace to listen to music, I click on it the flash object, and bam, frozen with the color wheel. It seems as if I'm not the only one with this problem. I have not found any fix yet.
Thanks,
Henry

I had this problem on my dual-G5 and now it has reared its ugly head on my new iMac. There were no system updates, software updates, or anything which set it off, but now I can't even go to www.nytimes.com and not have firefox 3.5 produce the spinning beach ball o' death.
Just for documentation sake, here's what I've tried (and didn't work):
1) Full deinstallation of Flash 10.0.32.18 and installation of Flash 9r246 (which also causes the freeze).
2) Disabling Java (saw this hint from a Windows XP user who was having problems with Flash) -- no go.
3) Full permission repairs -- nada.
What does work is:
1) Turning off Flash (not a good solution).
2) Running Flashblock -- this is turning out to be my best solution right now. It doesn't appear to be ALL flash content that freezes (e.g. with youtube and flashblock I can click the flash video and it plays fine), so this way you can continue to use flash content as you need it -- this might also be a good way to identify, specifically, which flash apps are causing the freeze.
Very frustrating considering Flash is so widely used, as is Firefox.

Flash crashes firefox

Hi there. None too savvy pc user here who was recently asked
to get a new version of flash. Now everytime I come across a page
that uses Flash, usually a website with a You Tube video posted but
not always, my browser (Firefox v. 1.5.0.6) freezes. I'll be forced
to close Firefox, sometimes I can just start Firefox up again, but
occasionally I'll get a message telling me that Firefox is still in
operation and I'll have to close it before I can start again. My
only recourse until this point has been to reboot.
I've been through the forums, and my problem seems similar to
others, though its usually IE and an older version of Flash.
Your help is appreciated in advance.

[solved] flash in firefox not working after pacman update

Hi everyone,
I updated my system today using pacman -Syu and now flash isn't working in firefox. In fact, opening a youtube video causes firefox to crash. Before the update it worked fine. I have flashplugin-11.2.202.406-1 installed. I don't know where to start to fix this.
I've already checked the about:plugins in firefox and it says that I have the flash plugin installed and its on always activate setting.
Does anyone know where I can start to look for errors?

Flash crashing Firefox on Mac

I recently upgraded to Firefox 3.5.5 on a TiG4 running 10.4.11, and the latest version of Flash player, 10.0.32.18. After numerous Firefox crashes, I had support at Firefox go over the crash reports, and they concluded that the problem was entirely in Flash. I have tried unistalling and re-installing Flash. I am using the latest Java. While disabling Flash prevents the crashing, what do I need to do to get everything working again?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Also, unlike some others here, I haven't had any installation problems.
Has anyone else been able to get the latest Flash to work with Firefox on a Mac?

Flash in Firefox not working properly.

I have been having an issue with Firefox with Flash performance for several days. The issue is mostly with video performance. Sites like Youtube seem to start to load but the video does not start. It takes several minutes for the video play. Some sites, The video will not show up at all with a blank box. I am completely frustrates because I do not know what is causing this. This only started a few days ago so I think it started with the latest update to flash.
I have tried reinstalling Firefox, Flash, Clearing Cache & History. Even downgrading Flash will not get it to work properly. The problem mostly only affects Flash videos. Flash content on web pages seem to display fine. I have tried Opera as well and it has the same problem. IE works fine. HELP!

got is sorted using this

READABILITY crashes Firefox. Just installed READABILITY on Firefox. It broke my plugin to WQXR, and Firefox won't re-start without a reboot everytime. ADD-ONS won't display. How can I correct this.

I installed READABILITY from its website onto a perfect functioning copy of FIREFOX (latest edition). Although the install seemed fine, READABILITY doesn't appear on the FIREFOX menu, and my plug-in connections (e.g., to WQXR-FM) no longer function.
Further, if you quit FIREFOX and try to re-start, FIREFOX won't restart unless you reboot the computer.
I tried to uninstall READABILITY, but the ADD-ONS menu won't appear.
How can I uninstall READABILITY?

HI Noah:
Thanks for your answer. I'm working my way through the blog, and trying to take all of the steps. Hitman Pro did find 5 trojans, and many remnants of other malware, so hopefully that will help. I'll post again when I've finished trying everything else.
I had already run Malware Bytes, It did not find/remove the sweetim toolbar, but found a different trojan. Something is up with my antivirus I think.

How can I send a website page by email with Firefox, not just the link?

I am unable to SEND web pages with Firefox.
With Internet Explorer, I simply go to FILE - Send - Page by email, (or Link by email). By sending the page, I can add some comments, remove some advertising, and/or highlight points I would like to highlight.
The question then, is there a way to Send - Page by email in Firefox?
If so, I will make it my default browser.
Thank you.

What email service are you using?
