Adobe flash crashes only in Firefox.

This is driving me nuts. Adobe flash crashes every time in multiple sites. I have reset Firefox, uninstalled every add on to test them. Right now there are no add on's (post resetting Firefox).
Going down the list of fixes here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/adobe-flash-plugin-has-crashed
-Yes, the plugins are all up to date
-I cannot disable acceleration because if I right click on the red box (located here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues), I get the message that the shockwave flash plugin is busy or ahs stopped working
Help!

I'm not seeing the plugin-container or the Flash plugin in the screenshot.
You would have to check when page that uses Flash is open.
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers<br>https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Adobe Flash crashes, continually causes Firefox 13.0.1 to crash

Firefox continually crashes (approx. 6-8 times a day or more) due to Adobe Flash player crashing.
I'm running Firefox 13.0.1 and Adobe Flash 11.3.300.262
I noticed that since the second-to-last update of Flash Firefox has been crashing a lot. Before that Firefox crashed 'only' once a day or so.
Over the past few months I've read just about every thread related to Flash & Firefox and I'm not about to spend hours troubleshooting stuff, trying to disable hardware acceleration, etc, etc. I've done that before when the Flash-crash issue started a couple of months ago. (Also, Firefox is sometimes sending you automated crash reports, so you should have that data.) I would expect Firefox to simply "work" reasonably well, and as of the past couple of months or so, it hasn't.
W.T.F, Mozilla? I've used your browsers (Netscape) since the early 90s and have been quite happy - until recently, that is. As of now I'm having to go back to using Internet Explorer.
I sincerely hope Mozilla can finally resolve this issue as I still believe Firefox could be a great browser if it didn't "fight" with Flash all the time.

whatev, For issues using full-screen mode, turn off hardware acceleration in your [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player display settings]:
#Right-click on any Flash video or animation (or on the Flash logo on [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues this Adobe help page]).
#Click "Settings" and uncheck “Enable hardware acceleration" in the Display tab.
This isn't the best workaround since the setting may not hold, for example, if you clear all cookies in Firefox or with an extension such as BetterPrivacy. Updating your display driver would be the best solution,

Adobe flash crash when I try to upload photos to created album on Facebook . Is this related to the new version of Mozilla Firefox that I installed few days ago.

Not sure how often

Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

when i wath youtube adobe flash crashed and in instell last firefox and the last adobe flash

A couple of things:
* Upgrade to Firefox 13 (you're currently running 12). Select Firefox > Help > About Firefox to upgrade.
* Check if your Flash plugin is out of date on this page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/. If it is, follow the instructions on the page for upgrading Flash.
Hope this helps!

Adobe Flash crashes and other questions about Flash

There have been several instances of Adobe Flash crashes whether I am using Firefox, IE or Google Chrome browsers - and simply reloading the page corrects this BUT recurs again and again.
I'm running Windows 8.1 64bit in which the Flash program apparently comes embedded in the OS as a 32/64 bit hybrid. When I inspect the Flash version add-on in Firefox, and run an update check, Adobe reports, correctly, that my system is Windows 64bit , English, Firefox. Then, when I do the same in Windows Internet Explorer by checking the embedded version, I get a message that KB2999249 is available for download to correct Flash issues in IE. Since that install, Flash hasn't crashed in IE [yet].
So, my question is: How can I be certain that when Firefox reports that Flash is "up-to-date" that it is indeed a 64bit compatible version? Note that the Adobe download site only identifies one available version for Firefox, IE and Google - the current version being 15.0.0.152 file: NPSWF32_15_0_0_152.
Does the "32" part of the file name suggest that it is a 32bit application and, if so, where can I find NPSWF64_15_o_o_152 [if it exists]?
''edited the title of this thread to reflect the questions asked''

I now understand the version nuances between the browsers and thanks for the response. Now what, if anything, can I do to address the continuum of Flash crashes since I find it difficult to believe that I'm the only user experiencing this anomaly?

Yoga 13: Adobe Flash crashing with Transitions?

Whenever I have Firefox open and flip from laptop to tent or tablet mode, Adobe Flash crashes. This is a major annoyance because really the only time I go from laptop to tent or tablet mode is when I am watching a video within Firefox. I've searched Google but haven't found anything... I have the latest version of Flash (11.6.602.180) and the latest version of Transitions I've found on this horrible Lenovo site.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem, and have you found a fix? Thanks in advance!

I, too am having this issue - however instead of crashing, my PC usually slows down. For anyone at Lenovo that cares to actually test this issue - just open up any web browser and watch a YouTube video. Play the video in laptop mode. Then when you're done, switch to tablet mode and play it again. That same video will either become choppy or crash. Likewise, when I try to use a program to play DRM videos (Vudu) or play flash-enabled games I have the same issue. I have tried to look at task manager and do a comparison of programs running before and after transition to tablet mode, and all I can see is a .1% spike in memory usage by Lenovo Transition.
I think this is a more recent problem as I don't remember this being an issue from the start, but I can't identify how recent. I used to play a game called SoulCraft from the Windows 8 store back in January. This game is most easily played in tablet mode, and it played perfectly. It quickly got old and I stopped playing after about a week. I came back to it about 4 weeks ago but it was choppy in tablet mode. When in laptop mode it plays fine. So I reckon that this issue came with a software update that occurred sometime between late Jan and early Apr. That's just my speculation, though. I have also installed/uninstalled programs which may be messing with the transition software.

Unable to install Adobe Flash Player in Mozilla FireFox

I am attempting to download and install the current Adobe Flash Player using Mozilla FireFox 19.
When I go to the download page this is what I see - no Download Button:
http://awesomescreenshot.com/02411pbs45
I have disabled my AV - no change. I have the latest version of Java activated.
I do have Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX installed in IE 10.
I run Windows 7, 64 bit, on an HP Pavilion dv7.
Thanks.

Could not see how to reply on the discussions page so am replying here. DOH! Was not signed in.
I only use FireFox and rarely IE.
Went to the provided page and saw this:

In the meantime I was able to download and install Adobe Flash Player 10. Will work with this in the meantime.
Thanks.

I have Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, but I'm still missing Flash Player?

So I have installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, and I'm able to watch youtube videos on my browser and other things that require flash player, but I have a disc that i got along with my Samsung monitor, and when I put it in my computer, it says that I do not infact have flash player. Also, when I try playing a game, DawnGate, theres a black box where a video should be, and it says that i do not have flash player, and it is required to watch these videos. I tried uninstalling, and I was unable to watch youtube, and when i reinstalled, I was able to watch youtube again, but that did not fix my problem. Is there something I'm missing? I look forward to hearing from someone soon.

Odds are it's looking for the IE plugin: (A lot of software just assumes ALL Windows users are "slaves to Microsoft" and only have IE installed.)
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
or the standalone Player:

Send Adobe Flash crash repot link is missing

When Adobe Flash crashes, I just get the gray screen that informs me that it has crashed. When I look at me home page I see info about how if I want to send a report I just need to click the link, "send crash report". That link is NOT on that gray page. When I look in the Firefox preferences, Advanced, General, there is NO check box for turning the crash report on and off. So, when Adobe Flash crashes, I am unable to report the crash. I also used the plugin check to see if Adobe Flash needed an update, Adobe Flash did and when I selected what would be the appropriate version,{apt:adobe-flashplugin?channel=$distro-partner}, Firefox said, "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (apt) isn't associated with any program." so I picked the version for Ubuntu 8.04,{http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/?installer=Flash_Player_10.1_for_Linux_(.deb)}.Downloaded and Installed. Then I come back to plugin check and Firefox still says Adobe Flash needs to be updated.

How to intercept the Adobe Flash plugin block by firefox checking for vulnerabilities?

The trouble is the grey block, that asking to update Adobe Flash because the version is vulnerability. If the block of Flash object is smaller, then 100px height - there is an empty space, but not gray block with talking about version. I need to intercept the moment using JavaScript, when Firefox checking the version of plugin to make changes in my HTML code to make a GIF, but not flash.
How to intercept the Adobe Flash plugin block by Firefox checking for vulnerabilities from JavaScript code?

hello, i don't think that this would be possible (but i'm not sure). what you could do is try to sniff the version of flash that is installed & the firefox useragent and just assume that old versions of the plugin will be blocked in this combination.
if you need more help about that, i'd recommend posting in a forum that is more specialized & knowledgeable in web development like http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25, since we here on the firefox support forums are primarily focused on support for end-users...

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:

Firefox keeps crashing cause the Adobe Flash plugin. Updated to Firefox 3.6.10 still no help. No previous updates for 3.6 have helped either. Forced to swap for Google Crome? Is Googleplex involved, suddenly the most stable browser has become useless. I go for Internet Explorer. Support Bill Gates.
