Firefox 0.9 and Flash

Hi. I had a working Firefox 0.8 with a working flash plugin, and also I had the flash click to view extention.
After upgrading to Firefox 0.9 I don't have flash working anymore. Any ideas as to what's wrong?

Which release of X11 server are you using? do you have te Composite extension enabled?
I was having the same problem with Firefox/Flash, and I found that the problem was the composite extension..
Check you xorg.con and comment the following if you ever added it:
#Section "Extensions"
# Option "Composite" "Enable"
# Option "RENDER" "Enable"
#EndSection
Restart X and check. It worked for me
p.s. I have an Nvidia Geforce 2 go, Nvidia drivers installed, running X11 R6.8

I installed firefox beta 5 and flash crashed on every page so i reverted back to firefox 4 and now flash crashes on every page of firefox 4. how can i fix it?

Ever since i installed firefox 5 beta and the new version of flash, flash crashes on every page with flash on it no matter what version of firefox i run, and flash wont let me roll back to another version. I need flash for my work which is due by the end of the day so any help yall can offer is appreciated.

well i fixed this for a bit by reinstalling ff4 and restarting but now the firefox 4 that i re-downloaded continues to very aggressively update itself to 5 beta without asking me. it just notifies me once its done it telling me to restart and once i close firefox, boom. flash crashes every minute or so and freezes my computer. I love firefox. i have used it for years. but if no one can help with this problem or at least tell me how to stop firefox 4 from updating to firefox beta 5 im gonna go download something else because im losing money fighting with firefox to get my work done which is now taking 10 times longer to complete. i really want to keep using firefox but this is kinda ridiculous guys... I understand that betas have bugs but dont make me use it without asking me first...

Firefox 14.01 and Flash 11.3 Issues

I was previously having problems with Firefox 13 (forget which version specifically) after it updated with using Flash as many others were. I was excited to see that a v. 14 is now out and updated hoping it would solve my issues, but I am still having trouble. I feel confident it is an issue with Flash; I have gone through and individually disabled and re-enabled add-ons, and can use Firefox fine when Flash is disabled, and everyone goes down hill once re-enabled.
In general, my issues are that Gmail, Facebook, and many other websites won't load when Flash is enabled. They will start to open, get stuck, and the Firefox completely freezes. Turning off the add-on fixes all of this, and turning it back on brings it back.
I have Windows Vista as my O/S.
Any suggestions for further troubleshooting? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Firefox and Flash.

This is the Solution that I found, thing is Adobe added something called "Protection Mode" to Flash in 11.3 and you need to disable it and all is well.
To do that you need to restart your pc so you know flash is turned off other wise you can't modify the config files for it.
For 32bit users:
'''C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg'''
For 64bit users:
'''C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg'''
In both cases all you need to do is add:
'''ProtectedMode=0'''
To the next line in the file and save it.
Worked for me, and I had been searching for weeks, if it works for you please do what you can to spread the word!

Firefox 3.66 and Flash 10.1.53.64 Crash Constantly

Ever since the install it crashes constantly.. sometimes it could go for awhile with no problems, other times like tonight it'll crash like 6 times in 2 minutes. Doesn't seem to be a certain website either. Could be YouTube, could be MySpace, could be some other site.
I use Windows XP Media Center with latest updates, 32 bit, 2GB memory.

Hi, well I went to Firefox and you can see what I searched for and the search result was 1,001 results for "Flash Player with 3.6.6" I read a few of the results and the users are not happy. They have tried everything, don't want vs 3.6.4 or 3.6.6.
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/search?qs=s&q=Flash+Player+crashing+with+3.6.6
Firefox 4 beta is out. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/beta/
Another thread was having the same problem or worse. He Uninstalled Flash Player 10.1, Installed with the offline Installer, Installed the Firefox 4 beta and last report no crashes and he also turned off the hardware acceleration.
I know some users on the forum here went back to Firefox 3.6.3.
I don't use FF, so can't suggest anything other than info.
Hope you get it solved.

Firefox 64 bit and flash 32 bit chroot

Since two days im trying to get 32 bit flash plugin to work with firefox 64 bit using chroot enviroment. I followed those instructions on archwiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _in_Arch64 but theres only solution for both firefox and flash 32 bit.
Any ideas how to do this?

- Go to Flash10 x86_64.
- Download file at bottom.
- Decompress it.
- Copy ".so" file over ~/.mozilla/plugins folder.
- Restart firefox...
I suggest evryone just avoid mixing 64bits and 32bits... unless impossible (ie. wine64 doesn't run win32 apps, just win64 ones)
EDIT: Oh, about your "real" question: maybe you were looking for "ndispluginwrapper" (or something alike)
EDIT2: I forgot to mention you should read some literacy about "what is a chroot and what is its purpouse"....

Tutorials on the Apple Website play in Safari and Chrome, but not always in Firefox. Java and Flash plug ins are up to date.

I was trying to play the Time Machine video tutorial on the Apple Website (I have an imac 10.6.6) and it won't play in Firefox, but it will in Safari and Chrome. This has happened before but then seemed to fix itself. Other videos (Youtube for eg.) play fine. All plugs (Java and Flash) are up to date. Just wondering why this could happen.

I have had this problem for a few days, no sound in Firefox, but IE and WMP (offline) have sound, this is a Firefox ONLY problem, so the volumes are all set correctly and the drivers and needed files are there, I've tried every fix that people have suggested on Google like checking the flash player settings, creating the "missing.reg" registry file and importing it, etc...
nothing works, I may just have to switch to Safari or Chrome, I watch a lot of video online (Youtube, ESPN3, NFL.com, etc.) so this is a huge problem...

Firefox 5.0 and Flash plugin 10,3,181,34 (current) will not play NPR audio nor BBC audio/video. MAC OS 10.6.8 both NPR work with Safari v.

tried re-installing firefox and the flash plugins. set all the setting in the applications preferences to prompt(no prompts received), tried disabling all the plugins expecting messages that plugin in missing or disabled(no message). No problems with Safari.

Actually, I've usually always had this problem with every version of Firefox. Seems like it was fixed for a while, but I worked on it so long I don't remember if or what the fix was. Does anyone know if there is a tool to right-click a link or file and open in another browser so we can view flash videos?

Have W7 64bit, Firefox 7.01 and Flash Player 11 but unable to play videos in BBC News channel although can use BBCi and Win Internet Explorer works with both.

Have looked at Flash Settings but not able to find solution. Tried reverting to Firefox v.6.02 but this did not resolve the problem.

Try version 4.01 works great with flash for me at least
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/4.0.1/win32/
I have been having crash issues with v 6 and 7 of Firefox. Make sure you update to latest version of adobe as well

Firefox keeps jummping and flashing images that are behind browser

every time i am doing something on fire fox it will jerck and move and will also show what ever is behind the window foe a second
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== this started when i updated firefox

Go to the orange Firefox button at top left. Then go to options-> options-> advanced -> and uncheck ‘Use hardware acceleration when available’. You may want to try to turn it back on in future updates though.

Problem with Firefox 10.0.2, Flash Player 11.1.102.62 and allowedHTMLdomains.txt

Hi all,
I have a Flash Media Streaming Server 4.0 running for more than a year now.
I protect the access to my server through the "allowedHTMLdomains.txt and allowedSWFdomains.txt feature" (amongst other things...).
We noticed that with Firefox 10.0.2 (last version) and Flash Player 11.1.102.62 (last version) our customers can't connect anymore.
In the admin console we can read things like :
     Authentication failed for pageurl: http://my.domain.com, rejecting connection from XXX.XXXXXX.XXX
If i try from the same computer with another browser, i get
Accepted a connection from IP:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, referrer: http://my.domain.com/myPlayer.swf, pageurl: http://my.domain.com/myWebPage.php
In the logs i have lines like that :
     --> connection error :

I can't find any significant difference...
I didn't change anything in my configuration since the beginning, and the application was working without probleme with every version of Browser/FlashPlayer untill now.
I suppose this is a bug, from Firefox or FlashPLayer or FlashMediaServer.
Is there anyone from Adobe that could help me to solve this or "workaround" this, knowing that i must use the security features.
Thank you very much for your help!
Sam

Ok for the timeline.
For your workaround : it was already the case : i had only domains in my allowedDomains.
I'll have to turn off this feature, and after the update of the flash player, hope that not too many people will stuck to the old flash player version...
Thx for your help anyway!

With the latest Firefox, I keep getting error messages on Tumblr, and Flash Player crashes almost every time I watch a video on Tumblr.

This has been driving me mad for days now. I updated to the latest version of Firefox, but every single time I go to any webpage on Tumblr, (my dashboard, my personal blog, anyone else's blog) I am bombarded by error messages saying "too much recursion." I usually get anywhere from 3 to 5 messages per page. I reverted to Firefox 34 and can now access Tumblr just fine, but then I am faced with a different problem. When watching videos or vines on Tumblr, they can spontaneously lag, jitter, or stop playing. If I try to resume playing them, then they might start playing but all audio will be cut out. This seems to cause some kind of problem with Flash Player, because after it happens on Tumblr, then it will happen on ANY video playing site I visit. If I try to watch a video on Youtube, the video will spasm for a couple seconds and then go to static and say "An error has occurred, please try again later." I've tested it out on other video sites like Blip, and they also cause audio and video bugs. Even if I close Firefox and restart it, the issue will not be solved. The only way I have found to fixing the crashes is to manually reinstall Flash Player (which requires me to reset Firefox anyway). This has been a tremendous annoyance, as I have had to reinstall Flash Player and reset Firefox about five times on any given day for the past week or so. This is driving me to consider dumping Firefox for Chrome, and I don't want to do that.

Okay, I updated my graphics card drivers just for good measure. I also started Firefox in Safe Mode, and there weren't any bugs. So I isolated the problem by turning on my extensions one by one, and it turns out that something with my XKit extension was the cause. I manually removed XKit and reinstalled it directly from the XKit website. Now everything's working fine again when I use Firefox 35. Thank you!

I still cannot view flash players in firefox after uninstalling and reinstalling firefox and flash multiple times. how do i fix this issue perminantly?

I can go into chrome without any issues and watch any video without any problem. the second i get into firefox nothing works. i have had this issue on and off for years. i really do not see why you cannot fix this if everybody else can. i have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and flash player multiple times. nothing seems to work. I am truly getting really tired of this same problem year after year, i stay with firefox because you are privacy conscience and are being more so consistently. i do not know what other details to tell you other than this just keeps happening and it is making it very tough to do anything on firefox when i cannot use a simple thing such as flash player. as i said, if the other browsers can fix this i see no reason why firefox cannot year after year. i hope there is a simple fix for this problem because it has basically halted a lot of my work on the net as i will no longer use google or microsoft. thank you

Firefox does not play videos. That is the job of the plugins.

Why in the world is the most current version of firefox AND flash having TONS of problems playing hulu videos? either chewing the crap out of my processor but playing ok, or chewing the crap out of my processor and not even playing video at all?

used to be firefox and hulu got along just fine, never had my computer get retarded slow or any of the other things its currently doing while there's a tab open with hulu... but here lately its been eating the snot outta my processor (between firefox.exe and plugin container the two are consistently using 100% of my processor... most of it being firefox.exe itself)
and tonight i cant watch hulu at all. the video shows a frame then its another 10-15 seconds before another single frame is showed.
my firefox is the most current version.
my adobe flash player plugin is the most current version.
there's no reason this should be happening but it is happening and its friggin annoying
============================
this happens anytime i'm in the part of hulu that has the player for showing whatever episode i'm attempting to watch. when i attempt to watch hulu i have no other tabs open and no other excess programs running on my computer, and firefox+plugincontainer run my CPU to 100% just between those two processes. i can browse around the internet just fine (like checking my email, or even getting to my queue list on hulu, which i have my homepage set as.. the queue list loads fine but the player part of hulu is when things go to crap)
and i just tried the exact same episode of lie to me that i couldnt watch on firefox.... tried watching it on internet explorer and its playing perfextly fine EVEN WHILE FIREFOX IS OPEN.
firefox is my preferred browser and i hope this junk can be fixed somehow.

I need plug-ins for Firefox v.7 (ad and flash blockers). It can't be upgraded because my Linux netbook has 500MB max.

running Ecafe slim HD with Ubuntu Linux 10.04 as standardized OS. They have released Firefox 7 as the official browser (probably because of lower RAM requirements). Ecafe has one 500MB DIM (which is probably why it runs Linux). Ad and flash blocker plug-ins aren't available for this version. How can we get them for this version of Firefox?

The current version of Flashblock works with Firefox 7.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/flashblock/
Adblock Plus 2.0.3 was the last to support Firefox 7; you can get it below.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/versions/?page=1#version-2.0.3
That being said, please note the following:

My flash player plugin has completely stopped working even after reinstalling firefox and flash

i have updated flash player, updated firefox, updated windows and pretty much anything i can think of . even then still i kept seeing the grey box telling me flash plugin has crashed. so i reinstalled flash and reinstalled firefox and still keep getting the same grey box saying flash has crashed
