Firefox and Adobe Flash - Why is this combination so slow now?

I don't know when the problem started but it has been many versions of both Firefox and Adobe Flash since Flash has worked reliably and quickly. I have tried many solutions including uninstalling both Firefox and Flash and reinstalling them yet the performance problems continue. When the dialog appears to send a crash report, many times I do. My Firefox is 32.0.1 and the Flash plug-in is 15,0,0,152. Is there an end in sight for this problem? The standard answer is Mozilla pointing the finger at Adobe and Adobe pointing at Mozilla.

Yes there is an end in sight!

  • Download of firefox and adobe flash will not install file corrupt message

    cannot install firefox or adobe flash get file corrupt message:
    cannot play videos

    Try installing from the Offline Installer. It may be a temporary folder permissions error, so this may fix it. Here is a link to try to download from:
    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe
    If that doesn't work, try this one: http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/
    Let me know if this works!

  • The LED on my time capsule is amber not green and not flashing, Why is this?

    The LED on my time capsule is lighted amber, not green, not blinking, just on and amber. Why is this? Should be concerned? I unplugged it waited and plugged it back in? Should I try anything else?

    A solid amber light on the AirPort indicates that the device has locked up. Power it off for 25-30 minutes and try again.
    If still no luck, you will need to try a Factory Default Reset to try to unlock the device. Then, re-configure the device again. Information on resets is here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3728?viewlocale=en_US
    If still no luck after a few tries with the Factory Default Reset, the AirPort Express is likely defective and should be replaced. If you have an Apple store in your area, you could take it to them to let them take a look.

  • I have Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in won't allow me to watch YouTube videos

    Up until last week I had IE9 and was able to download and watch YouTube videos with my son and play Facebook games.  Then one evening I tried to pull up a Yo Gabba Gabba video on YouTube and the video window was blank.  I had watched this video the night before with him, and the only thing I can think of is there was a Flash Player update that tried to download.  I saw several posts that suggested downloading a new broswer, but I waited for 3 nights thinking it was just a glitch.  I finally gave up and sent a pm to one of my friends who is a Internet Service Technician.  She told me to download Mozilla Firefox, which I did, and the problem seemed to be solved.  I was once again able to download and watch YouTube videos, as well as play games on Facebook.  And it seemed my pages, pictures, etc. all downloaded 10x faster.  That worked until the next evening and suddenly I once again could not download and watch YouTube videos.
    I checked my system and it found that Adobe had done an automatic update so that instead of just having Adobe Flash Player 13 Active X I now had Adobe Flash Player 13 plug-in.  I also noticed that Adobe Air was downloaded on my computer.  I went in and uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in and I was once again able to download and watch YouTube videos.  But when I tried to play games on Facebook I was told I would need to install at least Adobe Flash Player 10.0.2.  I went to find that or an older version but each time I tried to download from Adobe I would get the Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in version, and once again I was unable to download and watch YouTube videos.  I was, however, able to play the games on Facebook again.
    Remember when I just had Adobe Flash Player 13 Active X I was able to do both while having Mozilla Firefox.  I have looked all over the internet and I cannot find recent articles that talk about this problem.  Can someone please tell me what I can do so that I can keep Mozilla Firefox, as it is 10X faster than IE9 and with Firefox my Facebook doesn't crash all of the time?  But I also want to have the ability to download and watch YouTube videos with my son, as well as the play games on Facebook.
    I should also note each time I went to uninstall Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in I received an error message saying there was a conflict with Mozilla Firefox and I first had to shut it down before the uninstall would proceed.  Also, I received a reply on Adobe's Facebook page from a Tech who had me check to see if I had the latest version of Flash Player.  I did have the most recent version.  He then asked me to go to my add-ons and enable Shockwave.  I followed the instructions and it was already enabled (or it said always activate).  Neither of those helped me be able to download and watch YouTube videos.  But I can still play Facebook games.

    What is your current Flash Player version: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html ?

  • Firefox and adobe flash player installation

    When I go to a site like www,vevo,com I am asked to install Adobe Flash player. I install per directions, it shows on the page as having been installed, yet I cannot get videos (specifically on vevo site) to work. Everytime I open vevo, it still asks to install latest version of flash player and I can't play videos.
    I am running Windows 7 64-bit OS.
    Further, the instructions say to download the 32-bit Firefox in order for the Adobe FP to work, but this site says that Firefox comes ONLY in 32-bit. Any ideas how I can get this to work? I can view youtube, and other videos. Currently, the vevo site is the only video I can't see - that I know of.

    Maybe you need to update Flash to a more recent 10.1 r82 version
    Your plugins list shows outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
    *Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
    Update the [[Flash]] plugin to the latest version.

  • Firefox and adobe flash do work together and older versions of flah do not exist anymore

    i will try this one last time. the current version of firefox does not allow me to view videos from u tube or other sources. the solutions i have been offered is to downgrade to previous versions of adobe flash. the issue is: ADOBE NO LONGER ALLOWS ONE TO DOWNLOAD and RUN OLDER VERSIONS OF FLASH. if you follow all the steps you get a message that there is a new version of flash. yes it will download but when u try to install it the message i mentioned appears.. please please try yourself and see.
    can naoyone offer a solution that will work now?
    thanks

    There are several problems with the newest Adobe Flashplayer. Adobe is working to fix the problems. You can check for problems and possibly downgrade Flash to version 11.2 or 10.3.

  • Firefox and Adobe Flash unsafe operation crash

    I have a bunch of saved htm pages from myspace. Everytime I open them a box pops up saying Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. So and So is trying to communicate with internet enabled location. I have to keep clicking away the box otherwise if I do anything in the browser it will freeze it. Anyway to fix this problem so I can read through the pages in peace?

  • Firefox and Adobe Flash player not working

    I guess the people at Mozzila and or Adobe haven't updated which ever APP is not working properly with ICS. I had read previously that this was a problem. I downloaded Flash ver 11 right after the ICS upgrade and it does not work in Firefox but does in Dolphin.

    There are reports that FLASH is being abandoned ... the latest version seems to work though for now in specific browsers (after re-installing FLASH 11 ) ...  HTML5 is what everyone is moving to.

  • I updated my MacBook last night, including Firefox and Adobe Flash. Now I can't play games on Facebook.

    If the error occurred during the update you need to redo the update, as it corrupted something on your phone. Knowledge Base article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 says:
    Error 1004 and 1013: This error may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being blocked, redirected, or interrupted.  Adjust your hosts file or security software to ensure that connections to gs.apple.com are not blocked. If the issue persists, try restoring on another computer with a known-good connection. If this restore is successful, you will need to contact whoever supports your install of the operating system and security software installed on your computer for assistance. If your hosts file redirects requests to gs.apple.com, you may choose to follow Can't connect to the iTunes Store, in the "The 'hosts' file may be blocking the iTunes Store" section.
    This usually happens if you have used a hacking program like Tinyumbrella on your computer sometime in the past.

  • A page using Adobe Flash will not load in Foxfire. Have latest Foxfire and Adobe Flash downloaded. What now?

    I am taking a class in Dreamweaver CS6. We created a page with a clip that uses Adobe Flash. The page renders like it should in I.E.10 but the clip doesn't even load in Firefox. I have downloaded the latest version of Firefox and Adobe Flash. Have 'reset' Foxfire. It still won't render correctly. Any suggestion of what I can try next?

    This could be related to the HTML tags for the Flash media. If you use an &lt;object> tag with a clsid, then Firefox will ignore it. Typically in that case, there is an &lt;embed> tag within the object for browsers that do not use ActiveX.
    If the page is online, you could provide a link so volunteers can take a look.

  • Why can't I download adobe reader and adobe flash

    why can't I download adobe reader and adobe flash....I have windows IE 11

    Try this alternate FTP link: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.10/en_US/AdbeRdr11010_en_US.exe

    Note that the ActiveX installer is not for Windows 8.x

  • I have Firefox 36.0.4 and Adobe Flash 17 NPAPI but Flash Player does not appear in my plugins

    Thank you in advance for your help.
    I have a HP 6910p running Windows Vista Business, and updated Adobe Flash to 17 NPAPI, and Adobe Shockwave Player to 12.1 and I am running Firefox 36.0.4. Adobe Flash is completely missing from my plugins, but it does appear in my program manager. I can not play any video in Firefox at all. If I go to a video site like YouTube the screen freezes then this message appears - "Shockwave Flash may be busy or have stopped responding. You can stop the plugin now, or you can continue to see if the plugin will complete."
    I desperately need some help as I refuse to rely on the evil minions at Google by using Chrome which captures your every keystroke.
    I have checked and both Adobe Shockwave Player and Adobe Flash are installed correctly.
    Does anyone have a solution.

    The plugin uses the name "Shockwave Flash" which I do see in your "More System Details" so it must be set to either "Always Activate" or "Ask to Activate".
    This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
    (1) If you have any recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media make sure they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.
    (2) Disable hardware acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    That takes effect the next time you exit and start Firefox up again.
    (B) In Flash, right-click the media and choose Settings, then the first mini-tab and uncheck the box to use hardware acceleration. More information in 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 and higher)
    The protected mode feature of the Flash player plugin has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems. You can disable it by creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts provide different approaches for that:
    * Adobe support article 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?]
    * Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
    * Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078 (alternate version of Carm's batch file with a few changes by me: [https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=f7d304d92388737d&id=F7D304D92388737D!336&ithint=file,.bat&authkey=!AP2FXW2Y_3BXZyo])
    Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.
    Any improvement?

  • After reinstalling FFox and Adobe Flash Player, why will a certain company webpage will not load, but it does in IE.

    For some reason a certain corporate company web site will not load on my desktop PC. The page is gray and white with some headings and a circle in the middle that goes round and round. I previously (some months ago) was able to access the site (and have for years). I am running Windows 7. I have cleared my cache, reinstalled FireFox, reinstalled Adobe Flash Player (even tried downgrading to Flash version 10). If I use IE, the site page loads with all of the graphics, etc. just fine, I have all of the same FF features on my laptop. The site opens up fine on my laptop. What's next?

    Is there content loaded on that page via JavaScript or a plugin like Flash?
    If the Flash plugin is active the you should get the Flash context menu if you right-click that area.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
