Adobe Acrobat plugin keep crashing

Every time I try to view a pdf in Firefox, I get an error message stating that the Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed.

'''mtnharry''' (or anyone else with this problem) maybe this will help:
===The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed===
You can get this error when both Adobe Reader X and Adobe Acrobat are installed. You can resolve the problem as follows:
#Open the Adobe Reader X application
#Go to''' Edit''' -> '''Preferences'''
#Under Categories (on the left) select '''General''' (near the top)
#Click the button '''Select Default PDF Handler''' (at the bottom)
#Under "Select Adobe Product", open the drop-down menu and click "Adobe Reader X".
#Click "Apply", then close Adobe Reader X

The Adobe Flash plugin keeps crashing on Firefox 12.0

The Adobe Flash plugin keeps crashing on Firefox 12.0, and my Plugin Check link in Addons Manager directs to https://www.mozilla.com/en/404 .
Is this a hack attempt? Is Firefox 3.6 safer than the release channel?

Thankss, but it sounds a bit complicated for me. Maybe I can just reinstall FF?
~And would switching back to FF 3.6 (or whatever the latest Official release is), rather than being on the new Release Channel be safer than FF 12?

I have updated my Adobe Acrobat plugin three times today but the firefox plugin check says it is out of date, a problem as I repeatedly encounter "The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed" when I attempt to download pdfs.

I am attempting to download pdf's from a library search on JSTOR. I can view the pdf but cannot download them as they say "The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". I have been to the firefox plugin check and have updated Adobe Acrobat three times in the last hour, but it still says my plugin is not up to date. This leads me to believe that this may be the source of my crash errors.
I updated Adobe Flash from the same firefox plugin check page and after one try it now says I am up to date, so my system is obviously accepting these updates.
Help!!!!!

The following solution is useful for people who have the full version of Acrobat 9, but are getting the error message "the Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". You probably want the features in the full version of Acrobat, but still need to be able to open PDF files from your Firefox browser.
Go to Tools > Options > Applications. Scroll down and change all of the Adobe Acrobat files to open with Acrobat 9 (or whatever version you have) instead of "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". This may not be as handy as having it use Acrobat inside the Firefox browser, but it will still let you open PDF files without having to uninstall the full version of Acrobat. Hope this helps.

Adobe Shockwave plugin keeps crashing. Please read

So I'm using Windows 8.1. and Shockwave Flash 13.0.0.206 keeps crashing.
It's up to date, infact it's latest update was today. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, didn't work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Shockwave AND Flash, didn't work. I tried resetting friefox, didn't work.
Messages like "Shockwave flash plugin has crashed, continue or stop plugin" I always click continue but nothing happens.
This has been plauging me for a month now. What do I do?

Hi,
Please try the following.
Try to disable Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 and above by adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file located in one of these locations: [46]
(Windows 32bit) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
(Windows 64bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
For example, on a Windows 7 64-bit system, open the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, copy the file "mms.cfg" to the desktop, open it in Notepad, add a new line ProtectedMode=0 and then close Notepad, saving your changes. Next, go back to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, rename the original file to "mms.cfgBAK" (to save it as a backup) and then drag and drop in the modified "mms.cfg" file from the desktop. [47] [48] [49]
Note: To re-enable Flash Protected Mode, either restore a backup of the original mms.cfg file, if you saved one, or else re-edit the mms.cfg file to remove the ProtectedMode=0 line you added. Updating Flash Player or installing a newer version does not automatically re-enable Protected Mode
Try disabling Hardware Acceleration. <br>
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].

Adobe Acrobat XI Keeps Crashing on iMAC

I am using Adobe Acrobat XI pro on my iMac and it crashes/stops working, etc., constantly. I can scroll through a few pages and Adobe will freeze and I have to "force quit." I also have the same problem when editing PDFds.
I have removed the program and redownloaded, but that hasn't helped.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have the same issue - PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS THREAD

Adobe Flash Plugin keeps crashing

I can barely get 10 mins of playing a game on Facebook before I get the above message, it has happened on and off for a few months now but its getting ridiculous to try to play my game now, sometimes not loading at all.
I have noticed that it is only this game that causes it to crash, I watch You Tube and other flash using sites no problems at all.
I will add my info, any help appreciated

This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
(1) If you have any recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media make sure they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily. ''This might not be applicable to issues with games.''
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Disable the protected mode feature. It 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
Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.
Any improvement?

Why does the Adobe Acrobat plugin crash everytime I open a PDF?

I am currently running the Firefox 11.0, which is the most up-to-date version as of this writing. Every time I open a PDF file, it says that "Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, which came as part of my school's standard software package. The Mozilla website says I have the most up-to-date version of the Acrobat plugin.
P.S. I recently updated my version of Adobe Reader X to try to fix the problem, but that didn't work. I'm not entirely sure how Reader is related to Acrobat, so I don't know if that would affect my ability to read PDFs in Firefox.

hi WDWPhishFan,
Have you looked at [[The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed]] and [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]?
The first article has a lot of good troubleshooting steps that might help. The second article actual lists a couple of plugins that can be used for opening PDF files. I'd give both of them a try just in case.
Hopefully this helps!

The adobe plugin keeps crashing and I have tried dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs to -1 it doesn't work. Any other suggestions?

The Adobe Flash Plugin keeps crashing in Firefox and I have the most up to date version. I have tried the dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs to -1 but it still keeps crashing.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Since the plugin was installed

Try to disable IPC.
You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process to see if that helps.
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Adobe Acrobat plugin crashes every time

Any time I try to open any pdf, it will open for a millisecond and then the Adobe Acrobat plugin will crash. I view pdfs on the web all day long at my job so this is a big issue. I just started using Firefox about 1 week ago after an absence and noticed the pdf problem immediately when I updated to 9.0.1 yesterday.

I did find a "work around" several days back. I had Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader on my machine. I found if I uninstalled Acrobat Reader, that fixed the problem.
I will check out the 2 links you posted, reinstall Acrobat Reader, see what happens and post...

Could you 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:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > 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]]

I am trying to add a footer and Adobe Pro XI keeps crashing

I am trying to add a footer to my document and Adobe Pro XI keeps crashing. Any ideas?

What is your Acrobat XI version? If less than 11.0.09 I suggest you update to that latest version.
Note that you posted in the forum for Acrobat.com online services; you may get better help if you ask in the Acrobat forum. You should also state your operating system.

FireFox 10.0.7 w/Adobe Acrobat plugin 10.1.4.38 issue

Hello, everyone.
Our internal network systems have two browsers - IE8 and FireFox10. The IE8 browsers have security settings so high that the Acrobat plugin for it isn't even installed. When viewing a PDF in IE8, the browser relinquishes viewing to Adobe Reader. This presents a problem, as we have a Solr Collection indexing over 1,000 PDFs making them searchable, and when opened in a browser the PDF highlights and keeps track of where the keywords are located within.
So we fall back to FireFox for viewing PDFs. The search function works most adequately.
But FireFox10 with Adobe Acrobat plugin 10.1.4.38 has another issue: hyperlinks.
The PDFs were all created in Word 2007 using the Adobe PDFMaker plugin for Office, "Save As PDF", not "Print to PDF". While the Reader will automatically parse an FQDN, making it a live, clickable link that will open a browser to said FQDN, FireFox will NOT. The FQDN is blue and underscored, so it looks like a link, but clicking it produces nothing.
We discovered (with some experimenting) that if a FQDN in Word is highlighted, copied, right-clicked and "Hyperlink" selected, then pasted into the proper field, then the link will work in FireFox.
As I stated, we have over 1,000 of these PDFs, and we don't have the resources to edit every single one looking for FQDN text and performing the above operation.
So, I guess what I asking is: will a future Acrobat plugin for FireFox automatically parse FQDN links?
What options do I have in order to make the links work in FireFox, until then?
Thank you,
^_^

This is an on going issue that been going on for close to 15 years between Microsoft and Adobe.
Try Opening Fire Fox and Upgrading to the latest version.
Next upgrade to at least Acrobat . I've already upgraded to XI
Maybe after 15 years the issue has been taken care of.
dobe claims (for 15 years That Mac Office doesn't have the proper Hooks for hot Links).
The odd thing is that Office11 is a Direct port of Office2007/2010 with code changes only for the Mac interface.
If it's still an issue then its an Issue that Adobe is lazy and don't want to fix it.
If your using a Mac you can open that same PDF on a PC and the links work.
