Firefox 25 on Windows 7: Flash 11.9.900.117 freezes Firefox

I have done the troubleshooting suggested by Mozilla https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-hangs-or-not-responding
Firefox works fine but as soon as any Flash content is started Firefox locks up and I have to close the process in Windows Task Manager.
I can't go into Flash settings and disable hardware acceleration because Flash freezes Firefox completely before that.

Could you try disabling hardware acceleration via your system's mms.cfg file?
This will be located in your C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash folder (assuming that you are using a 64 bit version of Windows). Simply open up the mms.cfg file with a text editor and add the following line:
DisableHardwareAcceleration=1
Save the file and try again.
If that fails, I'd recommend reverting back to Flash Player 11.7 until this can be resolved.
Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player 11.7 for Windows or Macintosh?

I want to upgrade from my current version of Flash v11.9.900.117 to the current v11.9.900.152. On clicking on the Flash player link in the Downloads section of the Adobe home page I am taken to what looks like the 'Flash Player' download page with an 'install Flash' button in the bottom right hand corner. However, when I click on this button I am directed back to the Adobe home page. Could this be something to do with my AV?.

Bypass the downloader/installer and download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player (Mac OS X)

FREEZING WITH SHOCKWAVE FLASH 11.9.900.117

On 10/12/13, downloaded this update from Adobe.
Almost immediately, webpages on various sites began freezing and I receive
the message depicted below.
Using Mozilla Firefox, Windows 7 Home.
This issue occurs on numerous websites (in the midst of Google search, fb, etc.).
It even occurred while on adobe.com site when attempting to search for others
experiencing this same problem.
Since this problem did NOT begin occurring until after downloading this update,
I am relatively certain that this is NOT a Firefox problem but a bug in this version
of Shockwave Flash.
Any input with regard to an immediate remedy is appreciated.

Download the Flash Player Uninstaller
Then download the Flash Player Plug-in (for all other browsers)
Lastly, download the Shockwave FULL Installer
Save all of these file to your Downloads folder by rhgith clikcing ans choosing "Save Link as"- DO NOT RUN anything yet.
Open and run the Flash Player Uninstaller.
Open your Control Panel and uninstall Shockwave (if it's there to uninstall)
Reboot your system.
BEFORE you open anything else, locate and run the Shockwave FULL Installer.
Then run the Flash Player installer to replace the plugin in Firefox.
That should remedy the "unresponsive pluign" messages.

Can't upgrade from Flash 11.9.900.117 to version 11.9.900.152

Running Windows Vista OS on a Toshiba laptop. Download failed on both IE9 and Chrome. No explanation given for failure to complete download. Never got pop up box "RUN or "SAVE"

Before you click Run or Save, you may see a drop down that gives you another option - Save and Run. My experience was that IE10 got in the way of the install completing successfully. ONce I choose Save and Run, the install ran successfully.

Whats the current deal with popup windows in flash?

Hi There,
whats the current deal with popup windows in flash? I'm
trying to include popup windows in a site, and with IE7 (or
whatever the newest version of IE is ..the firefox lookalike) the
popups are not working at all, I have gone out a gotten other
sample popup scripts and I encountering the same problem, which is
the popups aren't working at all?
Is this a problem with just IE7 or am i completely missing
out on something here?
any ideas would be really appreciated! or if anyone has any
scripts for sizeable popup windows that work on IE7 i would really
appreciate it. thanks
:}

well i have used a couple of different attempts. I have used
code generated by this:
http://www.flash-db.com/PopUp/
on (release) {
getURL
("javascript:NewWindow=window.open('pants.html','newWin','width=200,height=50,left=0,top= 0,toolbar=No,location=No,scrollbars=No,status=No,resizable=No,fullscreen=No');
void(0);");
I have also tried a couple of other tutorials from
http://www.kirupa.com
link;
http://www.kirupa.com/kirupa.htm'
and I used the javascript supplied and had no luck (I
embedded the html etc) ... i have tried about 5 other tutorials and
I've got to the point where I'm wondering is the problem based
around by browser, I only using IE7 and have no ther browser. I'm
using FlashMX 2004. all the example files .fla and swfs i have
downloaded aren't working either so I'm totaly scartching my head
at this point...
any ideas where i'm going wrong here? any help very much
appreciated

Dumb Q: problem with Find And Replace window in Flash 8

Dear Flash Group,
apologies if this is trivial, it's my first day using Flash.
I downloaded a Flash project from
http://www.flashorb.com/articles/benchmark_files/flash-benchmark.zip.
This
flash calls into a web service at localhost:8080. I used the
'Find and
Replace' window within Flash Professional 8 to locate the
string
'localhost:8080' and replaced it with plain 'localhost'.
However, when I 'Debug the Movie' (Ctrl-Shift-Enter), it
still tries to
access port 8080! Obsiously, my replace command did not do
what I thought it
would do. I opened the FLA file in a binary editor, and saw 4
more
references to 8080, One if them in 'Properties' of a
WebServicesConnector,
but I cannot figure out how to find the other occurences.
Checking on google, I see lots of people having similar
problems, but no
solutions
Any ideas?
Regards, /george
PS. What do you guys do for code completion - is there a tool
that would
bring Flash on par with an professional IDE?

Agreed.

Might they be the result of that WebServicesConnector
reference?
> Checking on google, I see lots of people having
> similar problems, but no solutions
That's really odd, actually. I'm on these boards every day,
and I've
never heard of this issue. I don't *think* the Find/Replace
dialog visits
panel contents, such as the Component Inspector panel, but I
wouldn't swear
to that.
> What do you guys do for code completion - is there
> a tool that would bring Flash on par with an
professional IDE?
Well, Flash is a professional IDE, of course. By definition,
if you pay
for something, you have acquired a professional product or
service. I know
what you mean, though. Flash itself rocks, but the Actions
panel can be
glaringly weak. Personally, I use SE|PY to edit ActionScript.

How do I open a new browser window from Flash

I wish to open a new browser window from Flash and when the new window closes to return to the location from whence I started.
ThomasChen

The command to open a new window would be the "_blank" part of a command to link to a web page in the code below.
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.anothersite.com", "_blank"));
As far as the new window closing and getting back to where you were in the original window, I don't understand where that original window might have gone to... You should be wherever you last left it.

Files in c:\windows\macromed\flash

Just upgraded to flash player ver. 9,0,115,0. In the
C:\Windows\Macromed\Flash folder are the following files:
flash9e.ocx ; flashutil9e.exe ; uninstall_activeX.exe and
install.log
My question is.. I looked at a friend's machine that updated
to flash ver 9,0,115,0 using the stand alone installer and there
are about 3 more files in the folder. Which files should the Flash
folder contain?
Thanks

Have checked the following:

Visibility on all windows in Flash

Is there a way to turn off this annoying visibility issue
when you drag a window in Flash? It’s jumpy, slow and just
plain hard to look at.
Thanks

Hi there
You are wanting a custom window? If so, you will either need to use JavaScript and script the call yourself or use the WebHelp API (which is really just a JavaScript file).
The first method would provide a single window, as it simply opens the topic page in the browser.
Cheers... Rick
