Adobe Flash crashes every time I use it in Firefox

I am tired of Adobe Flash constantly crashing on me using the latest versions of Firefox and Flash. I have tried updating both Firefox and Flash to the latest versions. I have tried disabling hardware acceleration. I have uninstalled Realplayer. NONE OF THESE RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS have helped. This is making Firefox unusable for me. I am having to use Chrome now. Help me.

Hi savandarm, you may need to disable some advanced features to get Flash to work correctly.
'''(1) Hardware acceleration (triggers graphics card driver incompatibilities)'''
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here (this takes effect after you restart Firefox):
orange Firefox 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
'''(2) Protected mode feature (spawns multiple external Flash processes)'''
The following pages provide different ways to disable the feature:
* 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
Any improvement?

  • Adobe Flash crashing every time - Mac/Firefox

    Every time I try to use something that runs Flash, it crashes. I'm running Firefox 5.0 on a MacBook Pro, and I just updated both Flash and Firefox following Mozilla's instructions to try both if Flash kept crashing. It still won't work. I'm trying to upload pictures to my Flickr account and when it tries to open Flash so I can select my pictures, it crashes immediately. Using the Flickr Downloadr has the same result.
    I've been having problems with PSE 9 crashing lately as well, ever since I got a new camera and have been editing .NEF image files. Any chance these issues are related?
    In any case, can someone help me get Flash to stop crashing?

    Glad Safari is working; it is isn't it? What about FF? Did it pass the "test"?
    Let me know.
    Thanks,

  • Flash crashes every time in Firefox 27.0.1 on Windows 8.1

    Flash crashes every time it tries to load in Firefox. I've tried safe mode with extensions disabled, and it still crashes. I tried disabling protected mode, upgrading to the latest version of Flash, and downgrading to 11.7. I also have updated my video drivers to the latest versions. None of those things helped. Flash works fine in Chrome, though.
    Has anyone else had this problem, and have any idea how to fix it?

    Flash Player™ works in Chrome® because Chrome® has a proprietary plug-in which Google® modifies and embeds in the browser.
    If you've "been through the works" with troubleshooting Flash Player™, try resetting Firefox® (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems). You'll be surprised what that'll fix.
    You should alwasys use the latest Flash Player™ and I'd recommend reinstalling it using the FULL installer: Flash Player™ 12.0.0.70 Plug-in (All other browsers)... but use the Flash Player™ Uninstaller to remove the old one.

  • Why does FCPX crash every time I use plug-in effects?

    I don't understand why FCPX crashes every time I use a plug-in effect. I install the plug-in effects in the Effects folder - User/Movies/Motion Templates/Effects - and I apply the plug-in effect to the clip in the timeline, but as soon as the clip is in the viewer and I open the inspector FCPX crashes. Why does this happen??
    I have tried different plug-in effects, but it crashes every time I try to use the them.
    I use a FCPX trial (10.0.1) and I don't have motion 5 installed.

    Ok, I need to 'fess up. The issue turns out was not the plug-in. It was my NAS. My Ethernet config was changed then changed back again so although the NAS seemed fine and accessible after the changes, clearly not everything was perfect. The FCP Events and the Project itself I am working on live on the NAS and I work directly from it. A reboot cleared up the whole problem. Dah, I'm such an idiot.
    Sorry Noise Industries! Everything is good!

  • Speedgrade crashes every time I use split into clips function as part of scene detection.

    Speedgrade CC (latest version) crashes every time I use split into clips function as part of scene detection.
    I can use the keyframe function fine, but if i split it into clips it crashes 9 out of 10 times... so to get the job done i simply keep reopening the project, cliping and praying it works, then it crashes.... and i repeat this until it doesnt crash!
    File format im using is a 22min long Prores422 HQ 1080 25P file.
    Any ideas?.... im guessing im going to get the old "reinstall the software" one first... anything else?
    also have issues with Speedgrade just crashing for no good reason at random times while im grading too but ive come to expect that from the buggy software.

    I've got several 1080p mov's that have multiple sequences with 20 to 40 minutes a sequence I've regularly run over to Sg from PrPro. Granted, they're pretty straight forward, mostly simple cuts with a few transitions/wipes, no more than 3 video layers a sequence. Only one has any Ae stuff on it, and again, pretty simple.
    But as noted, there are those who do programs for broadcast with it ... I'm wishing one would chime in. Maybe shooternz ... I think he does b-cast work. Vastly more experienced than I am, PrPro, Ae, Sg, Audition ... the "suite". There's several others around here, though they tend to 'hang' in the PrPro forum more than here.

  • Flash crashes every time I try to use Bickham font

    Flash 8 Professional instantly crashes every time I attempt
    to use Bickham font or try to change a font to Bickham. Obv I'll
    just import a graphic of what I need from Photoshop, but I was
    wondering if anyone has the same problem? Is there a trick one can
    do to prevent this from happening?

    Do other programs have similar issues displaying that font?
    If so, than
    maybe the font file is corrupted somehow, and you should try
    to reinstall
    the font.

  • Elements 11 crashes every time i use sketch filters

    I am on a new macbook pro using elements 11 and every time i use the sketch filters the program crashes.  How do i get this fixed?

    Which OS are you on?
    Please try running Organizer with Admin rights, directly from PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe if on Windows.
    Another thing that you can try if on Windows - is - run your system in Compatibility Mode. To do this you need to-
    - Close Organizer if open.
    - Locate 'PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe'. By default it is present at '%programfiles(x86)%\Adobe\Elements 8 Organizer\'
    - Select the file and right click and select 'Properties'
    - Switch to 'Compatibility' tab
    - Select check box 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:'
    - Select 'Windows XP SP2. Click 'OK'
    - Launch Organizer and try email workflow once again
    Thanks

  • Updated to Firefox4 and now it crashes every time I use a search engine... goggle, yahoo, bing, take your pick.

    I updated to Firefox4 and at first everything seemed to run just fine, but then I tried to search for something, using Google... it crashed.I tried again, then with several other search engines... it crashed every time and took everything else with it.
    I tried it with both the search bar and by manually typing in the add for the search engine. If I call up the site nothing bad happens, but it still crashes as soon as I start a search. Tried it with Explorer and Safari and everything worked ok, it's just Firefox having these problems.

    Hi talaimosr,
    I understand that you have changed your default search engine because of the constant crashes. Please make sure that you do not have more than one version of Flash installed on the about:addons page.
    Please also be sure to run run in Safe Mode to make sure its not an add on causing the crashing. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    In order to further investigate the reason for crashes please post the last few crash reports that were submitted.In order to assist you better, please follow the steps below to provide us crash IDs to help us learn more about your crash.

  • InDesign CC crashes every time I use type tool

    How do you expect a designer to go through 300 plus fonts to find a font that might possibly cause issues? Indesign CS5 works fine with the fonts installed. Working in safe boot is not an option in a daily work flow. It must be a bug. (Mac intel OS 10.8.4) Indesign does not crash when using text tool on OS 10.6.x

    Hello,
    I am using the trial version of Flash CS3. Every time I
    attempt to import either to the library or stage the screen gives a
    quick little flicker and the application crashes to the desktop and
    doesn't report an error to the screen or in the event viewer. Does
    anyone have an idea as to why this would happen?
    Thanks!

    /agree
    i think it may have something to do with Windows SP3 cuz i'm
    having the same issue ... and apparently others are having the same
    issue :(
    I've yet to see a 'fix' for this bug, but hopefully it'll
    happen soon cuz i cant use Flash until that's fixed ... gl on
    getting it fixed!

  • Flash crashes every time I test my game.

    I test codes to check if they work so when I type in a code and test my game it keeps crashing. If I change the code to something different it sometimes doesn't crash.
    Is it because of the code? I think this is a weird glitch. It says Adobe Flash CC has stopped working and won't respond.

    Yes, it works when I remove the problematic code.
    But it seems like making variables of other MovieClips for one of my turret movieclip is causing it to crash. Is there any way to make this work without crashing? I need to use these variables so I can add it as a parent to this movieclip.
