Firefox crashes every time at the moment I enable flash plugin. I've uninstalled and installed a plugin again with no positive result. What should be done?

Firefox crashes every time when I enable a flash plugin. It started today after an automatic attempt of updating shockwave. I've uninstalled flash and installed it again. Still the same story. There are no previous version of flash available on adobe site. What should be done?

I have Firefox 3.6.8 and newest version of Flash. I've followed all recommendations made by Firefox support, changing plug in container settings, changing hang time, nothing helps. I'm forced to disable Adobe Flash or Firefox crashes whenever the Flash plug-in is needed. There are numerous reports of this problem throughout the Firefox troubleshoot help pages. No one seems to have a good answer to fix this. I now keep Flash disabled and use it only when going to a web page that needs it. If I find myself on such a page, I can go into tools, enable flash and do a reload. For some reason, this works. The reload will let Flash do its thing and Firefox won't have an APPCRASH. Once I leave that page, however, I must disable Flash again or I'll experience a crash the next time Flash is called upon. I really like FF but have downloaded Chrome and am now playing with it to see if I like it enough to use it as my primary browser. It's a shame that FF can't come up with a fix as hundreds have the same complaint.

  • Why is firefox crashing every time I try to compose or reply to email in Gmail and Hotmail?

    After I upgraded to Firefox 10, I can open gmail and hotmail, read email, but if I try to compose an email, or reply to an existing one, it crashed. Also, just now when I tried to fill in this box here with firefox, it crashed. I am now using Chrome, and will continue to do so until there is a solution. This crashing thing is more than a little annoying.

    Firefox crashes every time I try to open it. I have tried resetting and it also crashes in safe mode. The last crash report is:

  • Photoshop Elements 12 crashes almost every time while I am using it. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled it and it has not helped. I have a Mac.

    How can I correct the problem of my Photoshop Elements 12 program crashing every time while I am using it? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the program once and it keeps on doing this. I have a Mac computer.

    Uninstalling and reinstalling almost never solves these kinds of problems. Has it ever worked right? What version of OS X are you using?

  • What did the installation of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 changed in the system because after that Firefox crashes every time when opened?

    My system worked normally but after I installation CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 Firefox crashes every time I try to open it. I've tried disabling plugins and add-ons but with no success. Reinstallation of Firefox hasn't helped. But as I this has happened to me on a couple of other computers too, I've been able pin point the source of problem to installation of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 (and earlier versions, too).
    Firefox can be opened without problems in safe mode or in Windows XP SP3 compatiblity mode. Does Firefox use some different system components then?
    I am using 32-bit Windows7 and latest version of Firefox.

    It is possible that the CorelDRAW program installed extra fonts on your computer and that Firefox is having a problem with one or more of them.
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

    Lost my mail
    after I upgraded to IOS8. It crashes every time I click on mail. Yet, I can send photos and forward things in outgoing mail. how to restore?

    Answering my own question here. It's fixed! Another user recommended I switch to another wireless network then back to mine. And it worked! Mail is sending again with no problem.

  • After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

    My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
    From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
    I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
    I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

  • Firefox crashes every time I try to use private browsing

    Firefox works fine until I try to use private browsing. As soon as the "Start Private Browsing" screen appears, FF crashes.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
    Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!
