Firefox crashes when using Flash video (and Chrome does too); having uninstalled Flash, it won't reinstall

Going to youtube crashes my browser; going to youtube with noscript on, and allowing the videos, does the same - as does using google talk's built-in video chat. I assumed something was wrong with Flash, but checking via about:crashes gives me nothing. I downloaded the flash uninstaller from adobe's website but now, when I try to get flash again, the program crashes. Maybe something's wrong with my PC, not with Firefox...but I simply have no idea.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== this morning I started up my computer after a supposed crash (although I suspect it was the Vista automatic updater/restarter cropping up while I was asleep). Skype's exe was corrupted and I had to reinstall; then FF wouldn't work with flash.

As it turns out, Skype also crashes if I try to use video - so I'm forced to confront the possibility that the problem is actually with my PC, or the updates windows has just installed.

Firefox crashes when using Adobe Flash

I am using the newest version of Firefox (5.0.1) and the newest version of Adobe Flash (10.3.183.5) without any other add-ons. For some reason Firefox keeps crashing when playing Flash. Anything from Youtube, Flash webpages, online games, etc. It's not just the Flash add-on that crashes, but the entire browser.
I have to force it to close it via Task Manager (Windows 7 Professional).
When looking at the crash reports (about:crashes), it says there are none.
I have tried restarting, uninstalling both add-on and browser and I have even reinstalled my entire operating system. Nothing has changed.
This is obviously not my fault. Please fix this.

Hi roy6640,
Have you looked at the Knowledge Base articles [[Troubleshooting plugins]] or [[Using the Adobe Reader plugin with Firefox]]? There is some good information in there. You may want to try reinstalling the plugin as well or updating it if it is out of date.
Hopefully this helps!

Illustrator crashes when using save as and changing the save location yosemite OS

Firefox crashes when using youtube, soundcloud on x86_64 and nvidia

Hello everyone
For the past 6 months or so Firefox has been crashing on me and the only error I get is from dmesg saying:
[118237.001846] Chrome_ChildThr[2120]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f3211f66391 sp 00007f31fc8ac500 error 6 in libmozalloc.so[7f3211f65000+2000]
Is this a hardware issue or maybe a flash issue? Because I did a fresh install of Arch about a month ago hoping to fix the issue and it hasn't solved the problem.
I'm not sure if it's caused by using youtube or soundcloud, but I think it's crashed a few times when I'm not using either of them.
Does anyone has any sugestiong for how I can debug or look deeper into what is causing this issue?
The only thing the mozilla wiki said was to look at the mozzilla crash reporter output, but that doesn't exist on 64bit
Arch x86_64
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Nviida 480GTX @ Nvidia 343.22

Firefox crashes when using Google as startpage

Firefox crashes and gives me a general error mesage that it had to close down for certain reasons.
This only happens when I use Google as my startpage.
If I use any other website as startpage all works well and I can go to Google from there and everything works.
In short: FF crashes at start-up only when using Google as starpage, I see the Google page very briefly and then FF crashes.
I would realy like any solution because I have always used Google as startpage and want to keep it that way without having to start with i.e. altavista and go to google from there.

A possible workaround for now is to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Firefox crashes when any flash on the web.

Firefox freezes when the site is flash. After about 30 seconds to display the page without flash.
I tried reinstalling Firefox but to no avail. I reinstalled the flash, but also did not help. (I tried to uninstall the program.)

I don't even see your Flash plug-in the current version is 10.3.181.34
* http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Watch out for crapware that may be offered along with Flash.
Fire Bug is problematic extension and should be disabled unless you are actively using it.
Check your plug-ins http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/
Most of the bad bugs seem to have been removed from Flash, one problem though that might affect many is hardware acceleration, I turned it off through right-clicking in the adobe flash viewer and then through settings, but the option is in Firefox Tools > Options > Advanced > General, since mine is ''On'', the setting in Flash probably only applies to Flash.
Doubt that you would install a third party search , but

IPhone 3gs keeps crashing when using camera app and Facebook

My iPhone 3Gs is on its last legs, has been for a while, but I can't afford to upgrade just yet.
It keeps switching off, screen fades to black, when I use both the camera app and Facebook. I then have to reboot. It's not a battery issue, as it happens regardless of whether there's 90% or 9% battery life left, but just seems to happen randomly.
Today, it crashed when I pressed the shutter 'button' to take a photo, yesterday it was while I was selecting a focus point. Really frustrating, as I use the camera a lot. Facebook crashes the phone randomly, too.
This morning, I hung up on a call, then the phone died.
It's running ios5 now but has been doing it for a few months on previous versions of ios, too.
I've tried restoring to factory settings, but that has done nothing.
Any help you can give, much appreciated, thanks!

its not your phone bud im having the same problem to keeps crashing and i know its not that the phone is old unless you call 2days old as got it from apple store buch st glasgow on the 14th dec 2011 its an ios issue im sure as my last 1 updated to ios 5 and it wouldnt read sims no longer after speaking to apple they agreed to replace my handset as they are aware that the ios is frying some 3gs model mines was left a brick ie paper weight so if mines is crashing ect i cant even use the camera as it sticks then switches off apple need to sort this ios 5 out

Crashes when using FM drawings and saving to XML (DITA)

We're having a strange problem with FM 8.0p273 and DITA concerning FM-internal graphics. We would like to create some of our images using the FM drawing tools, so we insert a <fig> element and draw a graphics frame into the <image>'s anchored frame into which we draw our graphics. If we try to save the topic to XML, FM crashes with the message "Internal error 8004, 6343724, 8484240, 0. FrameMaker has detected a serious problem and must quit. [...]".
Now, the default R/W-rules for DITA topics only contain a "writer facet default" rule which apparently applies only to <image> elements with exactly one facet. However, the Structured Application Developers Guide states:
"However, if the author used FrameMaker graphic tools to create the objects in the graphic element, you want the file written in QuickDraw PICT format. To accomplish all this, use the following rule:
element "graphic" {
is fm graphic element;
writer anchored frame export to file "$(docname).pic" as "PICT";
I tried this rule (with the correct element name, of course...), but it makes no difference; FM still crashes with the same error message.
Does anyone experience the same error, or may this be some kind of misconfiguration in the R/W-rules?

Marcus,
When a facet is a referenced external entity, ie. external graphic file, the default behaviour of frame depends on the dtd. If DTD defines attribute "entity", the reference is written out to XML as local entity declaration and entity attribute points to that. If the DTD has file attribute, or as in case of dita, href, Frame writes the external entity reference as an attribute value and no local declaration gets generated.
Internally frame handles external graphic files as entities, as stated in the dev guide.
Now, in case where you create a drawing in frame, no external entity exists, so frame has to create the local entity declaration and write the external graphic to file and point to it.
Since frame converts all the stuff in an anchored frame with drawing elements to single graphic entity.
So, I did a small test..I modified my topic DTD to support entity approach instead of href, made a small topic in frame with simple drawing (just on straight line). XML looks like (tag marks removed..):
?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?
!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN" "topic.dtd" [
!-- Begin Document Specific Declarations --
!NOTATION cgm SYSTEM ""
!ENTITY fmimage1 SYSTEM "fmimage11.cgm" NDATA cgm

and reference to local entity:
fmimage entity = "fmimage1" fmheight = "1.575in" fmwidth = "5.276in"
fmalign = "aleft" angle = "0.000" cropped = "0" float = "0"
nsoffset = "0.000in" position = "below"
( I use a specialization in DITA to capture all aspects of a frame anchor and graphics)
Now, there is no difference and frame cannot know, where the cgm came from (was it a frame drawing or just an cgm graphics file), pointing mechanism is different, but XML parser resolves the local entities anyway, so at the end it's just a file pointer. Well, at least in case of cgm, frame seems to know, when reading back, frame generates two facets the CGM and FrameVector. I don't know what would happen if other format than cgm is used.
