Does Flash Player protected mode / disabling it have any effect on XP?

Does Flash Player protected mode / disabling it have any effect on XP / Firefox?

Been experiencing severe slowness and lock-ups with Firefox of late (since 27.0 / 28.0),  which ends with a sudden drop in memory usage and me having to  repeatedly shut it down through Task Manager. I have created a new profile and disabled hardware acceleration. I have tried disabling all  plug-ins and extensions, yet I noticed that at times (not always) plug-in container was still an active process, which I don't understand. Why would it be active when there are no enabled plug-ins? I also noticed that when plug-in container is not active (showing under Processes in Task Manager) I do not have this problem and Firefox runs normally?
I have run MalwareBytes, TDSSKiller, Hitman Pro and McAfee Stinger - no threats found.

  • Why does Flash Player keep sending me notifications to update to the version I already have?

    Why does Flash Player keep sending me notifications to update to the version I already have? The result is always an error message telling me that the version is already running. (Desktop Computer; Windows Vista OS; Firefox; Adobe Flash Version 11.8.800.94)

    I don't know; can you post a screenshot of such a notification?
    Did you update both ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and plugin (for Firefox)?

    No, the silent background update does not need a restart to complete the installation.
    However, it may need to wait until the browser is restarted in order to delete old files.  Nothing to worry about.

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Does Flash player render font-types differently depending on platform?

    We published a captivate course that uses all sans serif fonts. The fonts appear as expected when tested in Firefox and Safari on OS X 10.8.5. However, when tested in IE8 on Windows 7 one of the text captions appears as a serif font. Does Flash player render font-types differently depending on platform?

    Hi,
    I did as you suggested. The repost is in the "PDF language" forum, and we have an indication that the pdf file might be ambiguous as to the choice of a transparency blending space:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/714292
    However, in the meantime, I noticed that this issue is not (or hardly) noticeable if the file is opened as the first file in the session. However, as soon as one file (the same or another one) has been opened (and possibly closed - does not matter as long as the Reader stays open) and the file in question is loaded by any means (drag&drop, File-Open, Explorer double-click), it becomes really ugly. I guess this is why many people in the discussion boards have a hard time reproducing this issue, leading to the assumption that it is very system specific. I assume it is quite general.
    In any case, if a file looks differently depending on whether another file has been open before, this is DEFINITELY a thing to look into for the Reader guys, wouldn't you say?
    Best regards,

    Does flash player work on Kindle fire HD?

    Hi aaliyah.thurkettle1,
    The latest Kindle Fire HD is not officially supported by Flash Player.  Please see this page for a list of all certified devices:

    That said, some users have been able to get Flash Player working on the Kindle Fire by using Dolphin, a third party browser.

    My computer won't show any videos on safari because it says I need to update flash player. What is flash player and why do i have to download it? I thought flash player comes with your computer.

    The email and password will be the ones for your computer's security, not something for any Adobe product.  You might need to consult Mac customer support if you are unable to determine the required information.

    Hello,
    The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

    Might be later ones around also... saw 11.3 I think.
    (If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • Hey! My flash player keeps crashing whenever I open any kind of website with any flash contend.

    Hey! My flash player keeps crashing whenever I open any kind of website with any flash contend. Videos won't load, moving advertisements, all that stuff. Its also not just Firefox, videos don't work in IE or Chrome. I'm completely updated on all the plugins as well. Thanks for any help you may have!

    IE uses a different version of Flash (ActiveX version) than Firefox and Chrome use (the Plugin version). You might want to try the Adobe Flash forums for help with those Flash problems. <br />

  • My new iPod plays the music over and over again. It does not stop and the volume buttons have no effect. What can I do? The RESTRICTIONS  require a a passcode and I don't have one. Any suggestions?

    My new iPod plays the music over and over again. It does not stop and the volume buttons have no effect. What can I do? The RESTRICTIONS  require a a passcode and I don't have one. Any suggestions?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost       
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup.
    In order to restore with the unknown Restrictions passcode you will likely have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
