After installing Adobe Flash Player Plugin to view videos on youtube, mozilla gets hangs intermittently. Please help

I installed Firefox 23.0.1 and after that It asked me to install Flash Player Plugin to view videos on Youtbe. I installed Flash Player 11 Plugin and since then Mozilla started hanging/freezing intermittently. It hangs on those websites also where videos are not running.
I uninstalled Flash Player 11 Plugin and it works smoothly without it.
Please help

This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common reasons for Flash problems in Firefox:
(1) Make sure all recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
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
(3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)
See this support article from Adobe 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?]

    Hi, glad that worked for you. Also thanks for the explanation as how you came about this. Yes, from my understanding any Install of the CS5, even a trial version Installs the 10.1 (beta/prerelease) versions. It is not clear to me or others why the 10.1 was used in the CS5 instead of the latest version (10.0.45.2). My only guess is that the 10.1 is very close to being released as a shipping version (final release) to the public. The 10.1 had a target date of the first half of 2010. Perhaps that was the reasoning. This is just my opinion:-)
    As I said, many users are having this problem, not just with the CS5, but they Install the 10.1 thinking that will solve whatever problem they may be having with the latest version.
    Your thread is very helpful for other users that may be having the exact problem that you were. For this reason if you marked your thread as answered, they would read it first.

  • Having problem installing adobe flash player 11.0.1.152 says close mozilla how do you do this

    I have tried several times to install Adobe flash player 11.0.1.152. It keeps stating to shut off Mozilla. How do you shut Mozilla off?

    "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" placing you into the Windows Task Manager, you need to be in the in the "Processes" tab to make sure that firefox.exe is no longer running -- if it is running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu. (That is a Windows 7 keyboard shortcut not in earlier versions of Windows)
    There is a better way of ending Firefox, but it is too late for you to close firefox properly. Full set of directions to check and update flash.
    Make sure you are starting in the correct place for Flash
    * http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If you want to read PDF files in you browser, you might also want
    * http://get.adobe.com/reader/
    After the download,
    #bring up the download manager ("Ctrl+J") and start your installs. As soon as the install comes up,
    #close Firefox with File > Exit or "Firefox" button > Exit. Give Firefox some time to close and check that it finished via Windows 7 shortcut to WTM "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" in the "Processes" tab make sure that firefox.exe is no longer running -- if it is terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu.
    #proceed with the install
    '''Warning''': this is the Adobe site and they have chosen to to provide crapware along with their own product. Only install the product you were planning to install. Do not install additional products: including -- "Free! McAfee Security Scan Plus" or "Google Chrome". Installing Google Chrome on your own and installing it because it is offered on the Adobe site are two different things.
    Find updates for other installed plugins at

    Some people will have a problem with Hardware acceleration, right-click in the flash area, click in settings..., then see if change setting makes a difference.

  • Jerky video playback after installing adobe flash player for forefox

    I switched to Firefox the other day from MSIE. I immediately had problems with jerky / intermittemnt delivery of video training. I noted that one of the causes could be the adobe flash player so i uninstalled the windows one and installed the firefox plugin. This made no difference.
    Can't readily see anything on Google that makes immediate sense.
    Any ideas welcome. Thank you.

    I uninstalled version 13 and installed the version 12 as they suggested.  Did not work.
    On my computer now I have three accounts.
    1.  Mine - Flash Player version 13 originally worked but after updating (as was suggested by onscreen prompt) it did not work with Safari.  Uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Playaer version 12 also did not work.
    2.  Second computer user can still see CNN video clips in Safari.  'This user did NOT install the update to version 13.
    3.  Guest accoount still can see CNN video clips in Safari.
    Any suggestions how to get back to the original configuration on my account.  Unfortunately, I did not know about Time Machine and did not have it set up (have subsequently tried to set it up but cannot seem to be able to select a backup disk).
    Any suggestions appreciated.

    I currently have Firefox 15 version  installed and am trying to access a site that requires the current version of Adobe Flash Player (20). When I download and install it, the website still doesn't recognize flash player being installed. What should I do?
    Is that adobe flashplayer issue, java script or something else?

  • How to install Adobe Flash Player plugin for 64bit Arch

    I was trying to install the new 64-bit flash plugin for my newly install 64-bit Arch.
    I want to install the 64-bit plugin, and also found this Wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Br … ins#64-bit
    I'm not used to AUR, and have no idea how to use it for now. I just want to get the 64-bit version plugin working asap without any complaexity.
    So is there any fast way to get it to work? (i'm open to adding a repository to my /etc/pacman.conf)
    Something like
    pacman -S flashplugin-prerelease
    would be good enough for me for now.
    So, how do I get it work quickly? (I'm also open to suggestions like extracting the libflashplayer.so library from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs … 710.tar.gz to some system directory.)

    Hi,
    I think I understand your concern at most. I also had the same problem. What you can (should !!!) do is:
    1. Download this "Square" Preview Release from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs … 710.tar.gz
    2. Unpack it
    3. Execute the command "mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins/"
    4. Copy the unpacked libflashplayer.so into the above folder you created by doing "mv libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/"
    5. Restart your firefox
    6. Optional (check whether it is installed by typing about:plugins in your browser URL field.) you should be able to see this under shockwave flash.
    I have seen many people saying that this version does not work very well. For me it is working flawlessly and effortlessly. Once they publish the official version, I will switch to the newest. Otherwise, I really do not have any problem with it. Good for you! :-)

  • Adobe Flash Player don't show videos on YouTube after some point - Black Screen only

    Hello. I have a problem with Flash Player on YouTube. It has crashed many, many times so I decided to open this thread for let you know about it if you don't know already.
    Now, I've got no crash reports or anything but it crashes after some point. Even if it doesn't give me crash report, I understand it because YouTube videos don't run and I got only black screen. When I tried to close (click "X" at right above) Firefox, it denies to close with some click sounds. I can only close with combination of CTRL+ALT+DELETE and terminate process. After I closed Firefox and open new page, it works fine until I get the same situation.
    By the way, I have laptop with these specs:
    Intel Core i5 3210m
    AMD Radeon 7670m + Intel HD 4000 ( with AMD Switchable Graphics called Enduro )
    8 GB Ram
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
    I don't know what problem is causing it so I couldn't give you much information. But if you need any information, I'll try to help. Thanks in advance.
    P.S: I'm sorry for the bad English.

    Thanks for your reply. I totally forgot the topic, sorry.
    I've solved the issue, just disabled hardware acceleration feature from Preferences menu and everything is working well now.
