Adobe Shockwave Flash plug-in keeps getting 'Disabled'

I have all the latest versions of Firefox and the plugins...yet I have experienced this problem with the last several versions of FF - every 2 days or so the Flash Plug-in gets set to 'Disabled'.
To correct this I simply go in and re-enable it and the browser works fine again for several days.
I have done all the updates, the Flash update is the latest etc.
Any tips?

You appear to be running Firefox 16. The latest version is 18.0.1.

You appear to have Flash Player 11.4.402.### installed. The latest version is 11.5.502.146.

Shockwave flash plug-in keep crashing

The Shockwave Flash plug-in on my laptop keeps crashing. I've installed a newer version, bu that doesn't help. Can you help?
Thanks

Hi GollysMom,

According to Firefox 6 my Shockwave Flash plug in needs updating but it won't let me load the adobe site properly

Addon Manager tells me that the Shockwave Flash plug in needs to be updated but the Adobe web page does not load and just hangs.
It also tells me that the Quicktime plug in is out of date but altho' it will connect to the Quicktime web page it does not complete the loading process.
I have also had problems accessing my Youtube channel adn have had to use a fix I found somewhere in support.mozilla that suggested using https instead of http. This works but why on earth have I had to do this? What has gone wrong with FF6?

Here I am replying to my own question. For the 8 people who apparently also have these problems I have solved the Adobe Flashplayer one. Or at least I am assuming that there was a causal connection between what I did and the result but, then again, who knows?
If you have IE on your system, make sure that the Flash Active X extension is installed and up to date. Then go through the rigmarole with Firefox and updating the Shockwave Flash. It should work.
Still no idea about Quicktime.

My macbook pro says Shockwave Flash plug-in has crashed pretty much every day. I have to shut the computer down and restart it. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening?

Download the latest version from here ONLY:

also, make certain your Mac OS X software is completely up-to-date. There is a Trojan Horse that pretended to be a Flash update, and installed Flash with malware included. The latest security updates removes the malware and all older versions.

Firefox crashes on some web sites because of Shockwave Flash plug-in

I have the latest Firefox running on updated Windows Vista SP2. Each time I go to my Google+ site, FF opens it and then crashes. I have located the problem for this crash to the Adobe Flash plug-in. When I disable the Shockwave Flash plug-in, crashes would stop. The Shockwave plug-in is updated to the latest version, and I even re-installed it, which didn't help. I have similar crashes on some other sites during searches. It becomes rather frequent and irritating. Please suggest some options how to deal with that.

Thanks for reply. I do have the updated version of Trusteer Rapport. It is really interesting - I disable Shockwave Flash, and the crashes would stop. Then I would enable the Shockwave and stop the Rapport, the crashes would also stop. However, when they both are active - Firefox crashes all the time on Google+ web site. I do not have the same problem with Google Chrome and IE-9, only Firefox. I will try to ask Trusteer forums, but doubt that they would be able to offer something. It looks like Firefox specifically does not like something.

Shockwave Flash plug-in missing

I'm having a problem with both Safari & Firefox that says I'm missing my shockwave flash plug-in. I have reinstalled the plug-ins from Adobe, but still...no luck. Any suggestions?

I only wish I was destined for an upgrade. Until Adobe can get their software up-to-par with the new Intel processor (which I hear is coming soon), I'd prefer to function faster on my G4 than to use a 3rd party software to resolve uncompatible software issues. Anyway...that's not the problem I'm dealing with right now .
I have uninstalled, repaired permissions, installed, restarted, etc., etc. and I still am having plug-in issues. I've even gone to downloading Camino and Opera browsers to see if it was a browser issue, but each time it tells me the plug-in is missing, so it is definitely a plug-in issue. You've been very helpful with possible solutions. Anything else up your sleeve?

My shockwave flash 11.7 keeps crashing.

My shockwave flash 11.7 keeps crashing. On the internet it says the fix is to go to version 10.3, but adobe blocks me from being able to download an earlier version, Can someone help me with this?
Lisa

after the uninstall procedure completes, you can download and install the older version.
after many hours of trying, 11.7.700.169 is fairly stable on my video cards, but I'm not about to try updating it since there are many problems reported.

Adobe Shockwave Flash Player crashing

My Adobe Shockwave Flash Player crashes every time I play a Zynga game on it. I uninstall it & reinstall it each time & I am tired of it. I have talked to other players who have the same problem. Do we need to find another flash that works well with games? Any suggestions are appreciated.

And so you know I have reinstalled it but that didn't help either. And I did do a cleaning up on my laptop. It didn't help the freezing on the web browser. But it did help it load faster but as I said. Everything keeps freezing and crashing. Please make a newest version that wont be doing this as fast as possible. Thanks

Administrator account keeps getting disabled in SAP BI 4 from time to time.

Hi,
I am working for Ericsson. Recently during a upgrade for a customer, we migrated from SAP BO XI 3 to BI 4 Platform. Everything is running fine, but the Administrator account keeps getting disabled from time to time. They need to login from any other account with Administrator rights to enable the Administrator account to resume operations. What can be done for this problem?

Hi,
Try to check if the administrators group have already enough rights.
Also verify if one of the admin users is modifying the rights for the administrator.
Best regards,
Saloua.

Adobe quicktime flash plug-in won't stay plugged in

I have installed and re-installed the adobe quicktime flash plug-in for powerPC based macs several times over the past few weeks. Each time the plugin works for about one or two surfs on the internet then the little "Q-?" symbol appears again only to my great frustration. This seems to happen at the same time in both firefox and safari. Any suggestions about what to do? I tried repairing permissions and restarting after install. Thanks. Erin

DonaSuerte,
Apple Discussions!
Try the following:
QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > MIME Stettings > Miscellaneous.
Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.
This tells the browser not to to display Flash Media and lets the newly installed Adobe software work its magic.
==================
If the above thread doesn't help, try this...
Last but not least: Thanks to QuickTimeKirk........
Quit QuickTime.
Open User (Home)/Library/Preferences and delete any .plist file with QuickTime in its name. Don't worry as a new one will be created.
Open System Preferences/QuickTime and see if the window and tabs work as they should.
