FF hangs entire PC apparently loading Flash content. I have 3.6.6 and latest Flash. Computer is totally locked for 45 seconds.Is this really the intent?

I have FF 3.6.6 and Flash 10.1. When I enter a site the entire computer hangs. The mouse operates but I cannot go to another site, leave the browser or even bring up the Task Manager. The entire PC is hung. This lasts 45 seconds of course and then everything is fine. Is this how the plugin containment code is really supposed to work?
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.aol.com

Make sure that you allow the plugin-container process access to internet.
You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process to see if that helps.
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

    If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.

  • Flash Animations and Movies are lagging after having played a flash game which was graphics intense heavy and frequently refreshed which caused lags, how can I fix this lagging problem for Flash?

    On June 30th, I was playing a game called Lil Einstein's Manhattan project over at Newgrounds.com and the game although fine at first, later on in the advanced levels of the game, started to cause my browser to lag intensely and heavily. Now, when I try and watch other flash movies and animations, the flash doesn't run as smoothly, there are skips in the flash animations and movies, and it slows down.
    I tried scan disks, I tried defragmenting my computer, I tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox.. Nothing worked to restore the Flash.
    But when I view Flash movies and animations on Internet Explorer, they run fine... but not anymore on Firefox.
    Other Firefox users who have played this game also reported problems as well..
    How can I fix my Firefox Browser and return the Flash running to normal?

    Not sure how often

    If you have already scanned PC with an updated Anti-Virus and still the issue exists then I would suggest some troubleshooting techniques to resolve this problem:
    Update browser
    Remove unwanted Add-ons
    Remove unwanted Tool-bars
    Repair Registry
    Repair ActiveX objects and shared DLLs
    In case of facebook and Zynga I would suggest to Check for Problems with your Internet Connection.Try to Update Java and Reduce the Number of Running Internet Applications.
    Sometimes Multimedia content lag due to Hardware Acceleration, so disabling Hardware Acceleration should fix your problem.
    Open Flash Video in browser
    Right click on Video Player | Settings
    Open Display Panel
    Uncheck Enable Hardware Acceleration
    If issue still exists then you can find some more techniques described in detail here:

  • IE9 RC and Latest Flash Player don't work

    IE9 Release Candidate was pushed to tens of thousands of users yesterday and now the latest version of flash player does not work in it. I have one PC on Windows 7 64 bit and another on Windows 7 32 bit... same problem. Sites that use flash to display video are dead... including YouTube. They all say 'You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. ' which, of course, does not fix the problem. Another site uses flash for audio and it's DOA also. This is a huge deal because it is finally a browser from MS that is focused on standards compliance and it is very near completion. Any ideas when this will be addressed?

    Hi, Take a look at your addons. Go to Tools, Manage addons and under "Show"(very light text) look in All addons. Find Shockwave Flash Object and make sure it's Enabled.
    Sometimes updating a browser version may Disable this.
    Let me know.
    Thanks,

  • After upgrade from 34 to 35, control click still opens new tab but new tab won't load upon selection. i have to click address and press enter or click go

    I've used Firefox for many years, I really like it and have been readily recommending it to others.
    However after finally upgrading to 35.0.1 from 34.x I now have a very annoying and time-consuming issue.
    So much so that I'm thinking of attempting a downgrade!
    I didn't really want to upgrade but Firefox kept bothering me and I inadvertently accepted. Is there a way to switch this upgrade reminder off?
    Anyway, previously I would Ctrl-click a link and it would open a new tab but not jump to it. It would remain unloaded until I clicked it. Then it would load as normal.
    After the upgrade, I Ctrl-click a link and it still opens a new unloaded tab. So far, so good. Now however, when I click the new unloaded tab, it just sits there and does nothing. I have to click the URL in the address bar and either press <Enter> or click the 'Go' arrow.
    I use this feature sometimes 100s of times a day so this is extremely annoying as it adds considerable time and extra clicks to each new link I click.
    I'm wondering if it could be a problem with one of my plugins. Can I temporarily disable them all at once to see if that's it?
    I will try disabling the tab related plugins.
    I've tried toggling 'Don't load tabs until selected' on the Tabs page from Tools menu, Options.
    Any help would be thoroughly appreciated as I would like to return to being a Firefox Fan

    It is unlikely this issue is to do with Firefox upgrading. Firefox 36 will come out any day soon you should then be on that rather than considering an outdated Firefox 34 which is now not secure, and not supported.
    * See don't [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
    You have not listed your plugins, and Yes you could try using Firefox's add-on manager to make sure they are all set as click to activate or even temporarily set as never activate.
    I am not familiar with the add-on
    * UnloadTab 0.24.7 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unloadtab/
    That certainly may be part of the problem try deactivating that with Firefox's addon manager. For all I know this may be the intended behaviour of that addon.
    Also troubleshoot the issue with Firefox's safe mode, remembering that does NOT disable plugins you will still need to do that manually.
    * [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    Please post back with how you get on and what you have tried, Including upgrading to Firefox 36 when that is available.

  • I have a macbook pro and aphotosmartD110 wireless printer.  I was told that if I install the printer software on my computer, it will no longer print wirelessly.  Is that true and how do I scan wirelessly without loading in the software?

    I have a macbook pro and a photosmart D110 printer.  I was told that if I load the software for the printer onto my mac that it will no longer print wierlessly.  Is that true and how can I scan wirelessly without loading the software? Also, can I just connect my mac to the printer with a cable and scan or do I need that software loaded onto the mac?  Thanks for all help!

    If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
    All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
    This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

  • I have a 2013 iMac and adobe flash and reader don't work, why.

    I cannot open PDF's and adobe flash does not work what can I do?

    I have ordered a 27inch late 2012 but your questions is puzzling.  The pdf viewer is built into "quick look" and finder can even display thumbnails of pdf documents.  Did you download a pdf viewer from adobe?  Is a different program now set to be the default for opening pdfs?  When you got the computer did you setup or migrate from an existing mac?
    If you right click or command-click on a pdf, what are the options to view it?

  • Have two browsers, Chrome and Chromium, flash is installed on one but not the other

    Hi All,
    I have spent a ton of time on this and am stuck.
    I have two browsers, Chrome and Chromium, they both have separate profiles(Chrome has work profile Chromium has personal profile).  The Chrome installation is fine,  I have the plugins in the Chrome://plugins and everything is great.
    The Chromium browser is not so great.  I have tried the install maybe 30 different times.  The scenarios are:
    I have tried using the Chromium/Opera install-able
    one with the browser closed
    one with it open
    I have tried the regular Chrome install-able
    one with the browser closed
    one with it open
    I have tried the diagnostic tool: Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows - It says I have the plugin installed but it is not enabled.  Then i look at the chrome://plugins and there are 3 plugins listed: Chrome PDF Viewer (2 files), Chromoting Viewer and Native Client, all of which are enabled.
    I have tried to download and install directly from the installer site: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_ppapi.ex e
    Any help would be really great.
    Thanks so much.
    Sean

    Chrome comes with a built-in version of Flash Player.  Everything else built on Chromium does not.  Fortunately, there's a standalone PPAPI installer for Chromium-based browsers.  It's only available for Windows at the moment.
    Now, the browser itself may need to do some work to be able to discover and support Flash Player (particularly if they're not actively staying on the latest available PPAPI interface), so not every Chromium fork is going to work, and it's nowhere near as mature as the player in Chrome, but it's a thing that exists.  We've been doing a lot of work with the Opera team on the PPAPI Flash Player, and Opera Next is an active Chromium-based project.
    If you run into problems, please file bugs over at http://bugbase.adobe.com/. 
    Anyway, to get the download, use the link below. 
    Select Windows and FP 16 for Opera and Chromium:

  • I need to know how to down load movies, that I have on DVD, on to my hp computer then down load it to my ipad

    I need to know how to down load movies,from my DVDs, onto my hp computer and then down load them onto my iPad

    I read the thread question differently than you did I think.  I did not think the DVD in question was a commercial DVD.  However, you have much more experience in this discussion board than I do.  You probably have seen this question many times and assumed (apparently correctly) that it was a commercial DVD.
    I was answering the question based on it being a DVD created within a work/home environment that is needed to be put on the iPad.  I have been toying around with that exact process in the past week.  Work training videos etc, that I have created, put on DVD then downloaded to my iPad for travel and display.
    My bad!

  • Problems with IE8 and latest Flash

    On three discrete web pages from different organisations I am having problems which I think track back to the Flash product -
    on eBay when I am loading images the usual software (called standard) that I have used for many years says that I need to download the latest version of Flash.  I went through a successful (tested it had gone) uninstall and reinstall but still after clearing cache etc. rebooting etc. ebay still says load the latest version.
    on UK Met Office site a weather map which is central to their product offering never unpacks onto the screen - just sits there saying loading.  Sometimes MS comes on and says the script is slowing down the computer but nothing ever loads.
    on BBC iplayer when one selects a program the web page should put up a static image of the program which may then be run by clicking a play icon.  The image never appears and so no programme may be viewed, after a while MS comes on and says do I want to stop running the script.  No difference if I say yes or no,  still the frame/image is not unpacked.
    I am on IE8 32 bit system and have checked with your software that I have the latest and have reloaded it too.  Any ideas ?
    many thanks

    Chris,
    Everything absolutely works on Chrome, many thanks - I'll use that.  Still
    nothing on IE8 where the problem is as previously stated.
    I wonder how many IE users have a similar configuration to me and are
    blocked.
    Chrome now working fine and programmes being displayed and selected without
    problem.  (I have not touched Flash)
    Many thanks for your blog and support.  Most excellent.

  • Cannot load newegg web site. have tried clearing cache and cookies

    Newegg.com fails to load nine out of ten time and takes over a minute to load when t succeeds. I have already tried clearing the cache and cookies as suggested in trouble shooting with no improvement in performance.

    Try:
    # Navigating to about:config
    # Searching for "intl.accept_languages"
    # Right click on the matching result and click "Reset".
    Newegg doesn't respond if you send a malformed Accept-Language header.
    There is some plugin that is changing the default value for that header (I'm pretty sure it is, or was, Firefox Sync)
