Firefox crashes whenever on a page that needs Adobe Flash. If I uninstall then reinstall Flash, it works until I restart my computer, then it happens again

Running latest version of both Firefox (19.0.2) and Adobe Flash (11.6.602.171) as of the date of this post.
I'm using Windows 7.
This problem has been going on for a few months (maybe even a year). I can't remember the last time this didn't happen.
This problem doesn't occur with Google Chrome, and it is getting very irritating.

I am having the same problem. I use Ubuntu 12.04 and use Flash version 11.2 r202. Since Ubuntu went canonical with 19.02. Firefox has been crashing endlessly. I uninstalled and installed a strip down version only with Flash. It still crashes.
Do anyone have a solution? I disable all acceleration and there is no other plugin running?

  • Sites that use adobe flash player work on safari but not on firefox-it keeps asking me to download adobe flash player

    Whenever I try to use a web site that needs Adobe Flash Player, Firefox asks me to download it. When I download it and try again, it still asks me to download. When I access the same web site using Safari, I have no problem. This is true for many web sites - whichever ones require Adobe Flash Player.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Carole,
    You do not seem to have Adobe Flash (aka Shockwave Flash) installed. If you did you would see it listed under your plugins. Follow the instructions in the article below to install Flash in Firefox.
    See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+the+Flash+plugin
    After the installation, check your version here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    or here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    Current version is: 10.1.53.64

    How do I view videos that need Adobe Flash Player on my iPad? If this device does not support Adobe Flash?

    Skyfire is Not the answer! Bad reviews and you have to pay to try.
    I used Puffin Free Browser. Worked perfectly with a 14 day free trial for Flash. It worked well for Flash videos so I would buy the full version.

  • HT1338 I download Adobe Flash but it doesn't install. Each time I encounter something that needs Adobe Flash it tells me I don't have it. I am getting tired downloading it and then it isn't there.

    install_flash_player_10_osx.dmg
    install_flash_player_10_osx-1.dmg
    install_flash_player_10_osx-2.dmg
    install_flash_player_10_osx-3.dmg
    install_flash_player_10_osx-4.dmg
    etc to -9
    Those are the ones you downloaded. Ten times, apparently. Since install_flash_player_10_osx.dmg already existed, the next download was appended with -1. The next -2, etc. They'll all be identical, so it doesn't matter which one you use. Though I'd go with the last one as it may be a slightly updated version from the first download, depending on how long ago you did the first one.
    A .dmg file is a Disk Image. When you double click them, they open up a pseudo drive on the desktop. When you open one of these ten items, the Flash installer will appear in a file window. Run it to install Flash. Then close the file window (displaying from the psuedo drive) and then put the "drive" in the trash to dismount it. You can then delete all of those.
    Looks like you also downloaded the Adobe Reader twice. Versions 10.1.2 and 10.1.3. Also Skype, whatever the Thomson thing is, and an unnecessary Flash uninstaller (the Flash installer will put an uninstaller in the Utilities folder).

  • I download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works

    i download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works. i haven"t tried much, but only because i have no idea what to do.

    After you've installed Flash Player (you have to mount the disk image by double-clicking and the double-click the insatller package) restart your browser and go to youTube, for example, -> http://www.youtube.com/ - and see if the videos play.
    Call back if you need any further help.

  • Is there any timeline soon that apple users will be able to open things that need adobe flash player?  I can not even play any games on Facebook, I can't open certain files, pictures sent to me or things like forms I news to see when I am not home

    I am so frustrated about Adobe Flash player. I can not play any Facebook games, open certain files and pictures and documents that I need to access because not only does this phone not do it but my old Palm Pre couldn't do it either. I have had so many times where I needed to access things either online or via email, or message that I can not even look at because of this. I have to wait until I for home or ask someone else to do it for me which is embarrassing. I rave about my iPhone 4S all the time because it is truly great except for this. When it use to happen with my Pal Pre I figures once I got my iPhone that it wouldn't happen anymore but I guess I was completely wrong. I have had this problem for years and always get a message saying that it's being worked on. Well a couple of years is a long time to work on it. I understand about contracts and stuff but why is it taking a company such as Apple to be able to get it for their products? I get a lot and always want to play the games on Facebook but I can't do it on most of them at least the ones I have tried. So I can not play against anyone at that time I have to wait until I get home or use someone else's computer or something. Please tell me that in the extremely near future that this will not be a problem anymore. PLEASE!!  I am sure I am not the only one out there who is having issues and if you do get it available please let there be an upload/upgrade for current phones and not just for future versions of Apple phones. That just wouldnt be very fair to all of your loyal customers and tell everyone to get your products because they are great and end up leaving this little problem out until they by your phone.  Especially if they just got the phone they have. You guys are awesome with technology I have faith that you can make this available to all Apple products old and new by uploads or upgrades. Thank you hopefully can give me some info about the status with this or if there wen is one. I would have thought that being a company such as you are that it would already be taking care of right from the beginning and not wait years to take care of somewhat that is very important ro have especially when there is so much our there using Adobe Flash now. I am not sure if this is just a blog with customers or if the company actually sees these posts but I am just hoping company or not that someone knows something about this. Thank you for your time and for reading this entire post if you have even gotten this far.

    Oh no... NOT THE 99-PAGER!!! Anything but THAT!!!

  • Whenever I visit sites that require Adobe Flash Player such as youtube, the colors are all off.

    You did not supply much information with your question:
    #In Add-ons > Plugins, do you see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''"? If not, Flash is not installed for Firefox; see below
    #You can test Flash on this Adobe page: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
    #'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.
    #Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    #Direct link ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''': http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

  • I have to re-install adobe flash for firefox every time i start my computer even if firefox shows that my adobe flash is working it does not.I also get notices from the websites i visit (get flash e.t.c.)

    i have the latest firefox 10.02 in win7 and even if firefox shows is installed my adobe flash is not working so i have to run the flash installer every time i start my pc.After this everything works fine until the next start when i have to run the flashinstaller again

    There are two versions of the Flash Player plugin. One is ActiveX and only works in IE. It sounds like you have that one installed. The other one works in all other browsers.
    What seems to be happening is that you have security software that's blocking one of those versions of Flash/restoring your computer state and so it gets uninstalled when you start your computer. The other possibility is that there are permission issues. Unfortunately, this isn't something that Firefox can control; it's a problem with the Flash installation (Firefox is dumb and just looks in the registry for a list of installed plugins to load).
    Make sure that you're an admin on your computer when you try to install Flash and that you check your security settings. If that doesn't work, try posting to the [http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer Adobe community forums] to see if other people have had similar issues and know how to address them.

  • Firefox won't load any pages at all! I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, but no luck. My IE works, but I much prefer Firefox! Help?

    Early this morning, my firefox was working perfectly fine. Yet this evening, it won't load any web pages - only IE will. (I hate IE, much prefer FF!)
    I tried to uninstall then reinstall firefox, but it didn't help at all. I've tried tons of different sites, but nothing is coming up.
    What do I do?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == This morning ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

    ** FIXED **
    I had this problem where I work but it was fine on my home pc. When Firefox upgraded, it detected a proxy on my work network and started to use it even though my previous settings were set to no proxy.
    Now all my pages load and my 'find updates' for addons work.

    RE Skype for Linux.
    Yeah, me too, am running 64 bit LinuxMint 16, I have tried Firefox and Chrome and tried to download any/all of the Linux variants but nothing happens, I have allowed pop ups and disabled security, still nothing. I have tried downloading any/all of the linux versions onto my Asus ROG laptop running windows 8 and do a file transfer - still nothing. So I have to conclude the page is broken ?? Pretty poor really.

  • Firefox crashes when it starts. I tried to reset it; I uninstalled and reinstalled it; no way. The problems began after I changed my video card

    Crash ID: bp-1c18c383-28e4-426c-96a7-ff97e2130906
    OS: Windows 7 SP1 64bit
    I had to change my video card, immediately after this FF started crashing at start.
    The video card is a Nvidia GeForce 210.
    I tried to:
    - reset FF;
    - uninstall it, clear the register, reinstall it;
    - update Windows;
    - update the video card drivers (311.06)
    but no way.
    I can start FF in Safe Mode.
    Any help will be truly appreciated.

    I solved it by disabling hardware acceleration in FF options.
    It seems to be a conflict between FF and some Nvidia drivers.
