"Adobe flash plugin has crashed" error. Help?
I have tried a bunch of fixes I found searching through the web, but nothing so far has worked. I thought you fine fellow Apple folks might know what the heck is going on. After the last update, I started getting the error message "Adobe flash plugin has crashed" in both Firefox and Safari (both updated fully). I'm running Snow Leopard on a Mac Pro. Using latestet version of the Flash plugin. And, I have uninstalled and installed again per Adobe's website... not helpful, still having the issue.
Funny thing is, I have all the same software, updgrades, etc. on my Macbook Pro, and the Flash plugin works fine. Can anyone help me find out what might be causing this issue?
I cannot recall ever being this frustrated with my Mac and I have been faithfully using Mac for 20+ years!!
I am currently using a Macbook Pro 2.3 Ghz intel Core i7 4GB RAM Mac OSX 10.7.5
Problems encountered:
Very slow browsers chrome, safari, firefox - have tried them all in hopes of finding one that works with no luck!!
Adobe Flash crash error codes all the time. I receive update request links from all three browsers asking me to update adobe flash software which I have done repeatedly numerous times with absolutely no success, just a waste of time and lots of frustration.
Spinning rainbow sprocket is a common thing on my macbook, drives me insane!!
I found this thread and followed the instructions to go into "System Preferences, Flash Player, selecting the Advanced tab, and delete all browser data and settings." I then updated my Adobe Flash in my System Preferences, not the typical browser update method.
So far, this method appears to be working - will keep my fingers crossed!!!

The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed! Help please.
I can't load any flash content within Firefox. I instantly get the following error: "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. Reload the page to try again.".
So far I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, restarted my computer, and disabled hardware acceleration all to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.Ok, so scratch my last response. Disabling hardware acceleration through Firefox (orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available" ) did not work however step 3B did. Following your link, right clicking on the Flash logo and disabling hardware acceleration there has fixed my issue.
Thanks! -
Adobe Flash plugin has crashed and help pages don't solve it
I have ensured that I have the latest version of Firefox 9.0.1 and the latest version of Flash 11,1,102,55 but now whenever I try to load a page that uses Flash it crashes. I have tried reloading the page as suggested in the help pages and disabling hardware acceleration but this did not solve the problem.
Just to say that I think this is actually a problem with my service provider so I would not like to trouble anyone else in this forum for the time being.

In Gmail. "Adobe Flash PLUGIN has Crashed" trying to ATTACH a file
"Adobe Flash PLUGIN has Crashed" error message in Gmail when trying to attach a large file. Error pops up after 7 to 8 megs are uploaded.
Thanks for that, I had this problem too and it solved it out for me.
The only problem was to be able to find a flash video that would work,
you might want to try to open a youtube link that somebody posted on facebook,
and than right click it and disable hardware accelaration. -
Error, "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed." I get this error when I try to watch a video even on YouTube. Where do I go to down load it or how do I fix it??
I'd start with disabling Hardware Acceleration, as described in the video troubleshooting guide below:
Video playback issues
If that solves the problem, make sure that your graphics drivers are current.
If it *still* happens with current drivers, please give us detailed information on the graphics card and driver, so that we can disable hardware acceleration on this configuration and start a conversation with the appropriate vendor.
The best way to get this information is to do the following (on Windows):
Open a command prompt
Type: dxdiag
Hit Enter
This should launch the DirectX Diagnostic Tool
Click Save All Information (or whatever that save button says).
Paste the contents into a reply here, or you can click Use Advanced Editor in the upper right of the reply window, and then attach the file using the link at the bottom right of the reply window. -

Recently I keep getting the Adobel Flash plugin has crashed message. Not aware I have changed any programs or software.
I have ensured every thing in uptodate. Tried uninstalling and re-downloading. No success.
Read your help page.
Are there suitable alternatives to Adobe or is this limited by the websites that use Adobe?I am adding screen shot of Yahoo messenger to my previous question. Though it is in Japanese but there is a little English too which will be helpful to those who could not read Japanese.

The plugin check page does list something called 'Shockwave Flash." I went to the Adobe site and downloaded and installed the latest version of Adobe Flash but it still does not show up on the plugin check page. I don't see how Adobe Flash can be crashing in Firefox when Firefox doesn't even know that it's installed.
Your System Details List shows the Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0 plugin as installed, so you appear to have the Flash plugin installed.
You can check the version of the current Flash player here:
*http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
*http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
What is the current setting for the Flash plugin on Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. How do I fix this?
I have just done an update installation and then when I checked in to my newsfeed I couldn't get any video. Cannot play my favorite games either. Not really a techie type. Would like to get it fixed so life can return to normal on my computer.
Without knowing (for sure) what Mac computer model identifier
build year you have or the OS X version and step of system
installed within it, an easy answer is not so likely....
And if your computer is not an old (before Intel Mac era) PowerPC
G3 or G4 iBook portable, then you are really out there! LOL
Adobe has a fairly good help page, depending on what you really
have, some answers or links within it can help. There would be no
new-ish Flash players for any Mac OS X that can run on PowerPC
hardware supported systems. Answers need details to work with.
