Firefox flash games under retina win 8.1

Firefox is showing the fonts smooth unlike chrome which is really nice when u have a retina display macbook pro ( using win 8.1 ) but when u try to open a flash game in facebook the game is reaaaaaaally laggy and un playable even , not even youtube is playing good .
is there a solution for that soon ?
my display resolution is 2880 * 1800
system is win 8.1 x64
firefox version 29
and i have a macbook pro late 2012 with an nvidia gpu which is really good to handle graphics .
Best regards

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • Why are flash games not working properly on Firefox, while they work perfectly on other browsers?

    I own a MacBook os x 10.5.8 Intel core duo.
    My problem started a few weeks ago, I tried playing a flash game, first it came up that i didnt have flash, which I did, so I ran an update but I already had the latest version.
    I gave up on the games on that page and went to newgrounds.com, but turns out everytime I try to play a game the controls wont work properly on any game.
    I thought it might be my flash, so I went to chrome and played the same game, no problems, to opera, no problems, to safari also no problems. So the problem is my firefox and the flash plug in? I already uninstalled it and re installed it, downloaded it again and followed every piece of advice I could find about this, nothing works.
    I appreciate some help with this matter, I like working with firefox, wouldnt want to change to other browsers.

    Hi gorgonzola357, there are some platform-specific differences between Windows 7 and MacOSX that may be relevant.
    Have you tried disabling the new protected mode in Flash 11.3, since that feature is currently being debugged? See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493 Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

  • The sound at youtube goes mute automatically and/or when i'm in a flash game and i press a link the sound also mutes. it only happened when i updated firefox :(

    the sound mutes, the bar keeps downloading and "playing"
    when i go back or pause+play the sound goes back on
    when im playing a game i have to open chrome because the sound mutes everytime i click anything on the (flash) game
    im considering moving to chrome, im very disapointed with last firefox update, its full of bugs... ;(

    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
    In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:

  • Flash games problem with Mozilla Firefox

    Ok so, I'm trying to play one great flash game, I'm actually Texas hold'em addict :D so, as soon as I open it, firefox just crashes and that's it, nothing appears, no crash report or anything like that..
    I'm trying to play this game: [http://www.4yahoo.com/board-card/play-governor-of-poker-2 Governor of Poker 2] and this one [http://www.4yahoo.com/puzzle/play-the-forest-temple The Forest Temple]
    What to do? Should I reinstall it or it could be my windows problem?
    I don't really want to re-install it, because I have tons of bookmars there and got no idea how to save them, also I'm afraid that it will be waste of time.
    So I'm asking you guys, maybe someone faced this problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    I mean, it's ok when I run other games, but those two are the problem :(

  • Firefox freezes for up to a minute when I have two tabs open and running a video and a flash game. Why?

    Firefox freezes for up to a minute when I have two tabs open, one playing a YouTube video, the other with a flash game running, and the screen shows the contents of both tabs, one superimposed on the other. If I have other tabs open, they also appear as visual garbage on the same screen. After the freeze, everything semi-works, starting and stopping, with long frozen hangs.The frequency of this problem is increasing and greatly reduces Firefox's operating capacity. I am using Firefox 5.0 on a Windows Vista desktop made by Hewlett-Packard. I have cleared the caches and the problem persists, and I can't find any online help to explain why this is happening. I don't recall it happening with a previous version of Firefox.

    Hello jesterabk, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Using Chrome's Flash game saves in Firefox

    With the changes made to Chrome recently, I am switching back to Firefox :-)
    That being said, I noticed that my Chrome Flash game saves don't seem to work in Firefox. I have created symbolic links to a single folder for both browsers' Flash game saves. Chrome works fine and pulls up the saved games, but if I try with Firefox, it doesn't read them...nor does it save over the same files.
    Does Firefox do something differently when using Flash game saves?

    While Firefox uses Adobe Flash Player, Chrome uses a version of flash player made by them (called PepperFlash). These two flash players work very differently. I don't think you're going to be able to access saved games from one in another.

  • Big lagging when i open a flash game with new firefox 8.0 version

    Since i updated my Firefox to 8.0, i am experiencing big lagging when i open a flash game; it takes longer than usual and when i finally get to play the game, within 3-4 minutes it shows error in the flash application and i have to reload my page again. Before this there was no problem. Please advise.

    The answer did not resolve my issue. As I said, I am using version8.0.1 and getting the message (''''Some important features may not work in this version of your browser, so you have been redirected to the Basic HTML version. Upgrade to a modern browser, such as Google Chrome. Try standard version anyway'''').
    In any case, I re-installed the latest version with no change in the usability or appearance of Gmail. Any other suggestions

  • Adobe Flash games and buttons super small in Firefox

    I recently got a new computer and I've noticed certain Adobe Flash games or other features of Adobe Flash don't load to the proper size that they used to. There is room on the screen to be bigger but it just looks like the game or features have shrunk.
    I am running Windows 8.1 and have the latest versions of both Firefox and Adobe Flash. I've tried going back to past versions of FF and Flash; hasn't worked. I tried FF in Safe Mode and resetting it but those didn't work either. They worked fine on my previous computer (5 years older and running Windows Vista). I also tried resizing the pages but the games/images stay small in proportion to the resizing. I have loaded the same problem pages/games in Chrome and IE without the errors reoccurring so there has to be some combo of problems between FF and Flash. On another note... not every game running has this problem. x_x
    Here's some links to some screenshots of my problem:

    Maybe something went wrong when I switched over my Firefox from my previous computer?

    Did you try to right-click in the Flash player area to see if you can restore the full size?
    Try to clear the Flash local storage and settings.

  • Anytime I run a Flash game, Firefox closes! I have updated all add-ons and extentions, disabled Adobe DLM and went through the suggestions to fix this issue. NOTHING WORKS! What do I do?

    The game I am trying to play is on Facebook. The internet and other sites work as normal, but when I load a flash game the game begins for about 30 seconds and then freezes and firefox shuts down. I have used INTERNET EXPLORER and the games loads fine. This issue is with firefox plugins, extensions, add-ons...or whatever. I don't know what to do to get this to work properly.

    Thank you so much, for once in my computer life I knew what the problem was, what caused it, why it was caused, what it did, what it made it do and most importantly how to fix it and to do it correctly and expeditiously. I can not Thank You all enough for all of the help! I also have Pogo mailed this to all on my friends list, where they have all learned as I have and have fixed theirs also. and the message is being spread. Thank You again, I just can not say it enough.

  • Does anybody have problems with the Macbook Pro Retina 15' fans being really loud even when playing flash games like candy crush or tetris?

    Hey guys,
    So after a few months of using the MBP 15' Retina, I've discovered that the fans are incredibly loud even when playing flash games like candy crush or tetris.. are any of you guys having the same problem? Like all of a sudden from be quiet to unbelievably loud just as the games load. So yeah, hopefully someone has the same problem as I am having.
    What I was thinking was that the MBP Retina 15' is such a beefed up laptop, it shouldn't require that much CPU to run flash games that are not even THAT graphically intensive to which making the fans that loud..
    Thanks!

    Believe it or not, Flash REALLY isn't the issue.
    It's hardware makers making devices with less processor performance and requiring software makers to fit into a certain requirements of such. Namely iPhone, iPods and iPads.
    Flash is designed to give a lot of features and work across many operating systems, browsers and platforms as a write once solution.
    Flash has a certain level of processor performance requirement, which hardware makers like Apple want to build less powerful machines using less expensive processors.
    Apple has removed Coverflow 3D effects from iTunes and discontinued the 17" MacBook Pro, leaving only the 15" as having a more powerful 3D capable graphics capability.
    So Apple is obviously on a anti-heat/performance quest as they further thin up their hardware, trying to kill Flash by punishing Mac users who want to run it.
    Flash runs without a fan sound on my older Mac with dedicated GPU and older OS X verison, no sweat.
    Head to your System Preferences > Energy Saver and if you have it, uncheck Automatic Graphics switching, this will use the dedicated GPU and shorted battery life, but if your on power should reduce the heat and fan noise.
    Another option is to use SMC fan control and set the fan default speed slightly faster, this will keep the machine slightly cooler and not trigger the higher fan speed as often.
    If your running 10.8, you will need to System Preferences > Security > downloads to "Anywhere"
    SMC FanControl is over at MacUpdate.com.

  • Youtube videos/Flash games won't play/freeze browser in Firefox

    Ever since I updated to the latest Firefox version I cannot get YouTube videos or Flash games to play. It will load the page and where the video should be it just displays a white space, like the player itself doesn't exist. Youtube when it first loads the page will show the black "video" screen for a split second before disappearing as if it never existed, and then the screen freezes and I have to start the task manager to end the program and restart Firefox. I have refreshed Firefox multiple times, downloaded the latest version of flashplayer and made sure that the plugin is activated to no avail. The funny thing is, is that the videos and games play just fine in Internet Explorer, so it's not a problem with the graphics or hardware on the computer itself.

    Tried that solution many times. It had no effect. Here is the event log:

  • Firefox uses high cpu when playing online flash games like farmville in facebook

    Whenever i open games in facebook, firefox uses up high CPU. I tried to install older version of firefox, new version everything has the same problem. There could be some compatibility issue with the adobe flash and firefox.
    I am sure that some version works well, because i never had this problem before. Yesterday i had to re-install my XP and after re-install suddenly this issue started, which means this can be solved with proper versions of firefox and flash which i used before.
    Please help!!!!!!!

    After I made sure I was running latest FireFox and Flash, I started disabling add-ons. It appears right now that Flashblock is the culprit, at least for me. If you have that, try disabling it.
    Also, most of those Facebook flash games have some serious problems with memory leaks and bad programming. Is your problem specific to Facebook games or all flash games?

  • How Can I Learn To Develop Flash Games For Under $50.00 USD?

    I am completely new to anything Flash. I have never written a
    single line of Actionscript. I don't know the difference between
    Flash and Flex. I don't know in what forums Flash developers hang
    out. I don't even know what kind of coffee they drink, or if they
    drink tea instead.
    However, I have developed games and have been thinking about
    developing some casual games and have heard rumors that Adobe is
    "pushing" causal game development with Actionscript 3 and their
    latest releases. So I went to adobe.com expecting to see a link for
    something like "learn how to develop games in flash" or some such.
    I poked around the developer related pages and didn't find anything
    I thought useful.
    What I did find were plenty of stuff for *existing* flash
    developers. Links to articles and HowTos for specific topics and
    information about products that cost a minimum of several hundred
    dollars. I can't learn how to develop games and create a prototype
    with a 30-day trial, and I am not going to buy a $1000 pro-grade
    tool when I am an indie developer without a budget or a pre-funded
    project that would justify such expenditures.
    I have seen some open source stuff, but don't know if it can
    do anything more than build some annoying shaking banner ads.
    So let me introduce myself as a possible use-case for Adobe
    Marketing and the Flash (Game) Developer community.
    I am an educated experience software developer who has a day
    job doing "enterprise" software stuff. I want to *play* in my free
    time (evenings and weekends) with "Flash Stuff" and learn enough to
    be able to build a simple game that I can put on my personal
    website and have my friends download. I am not a student, so I
    can't get student discounts. The money I have goes toward
    toys^H^H^H^H tools for my other coding habits^H^H^H^H^H projects. I
    am not interested in 30-day trials, as I may go 45-days or more
    between the first and second weekends I get to play with this. I
    know OOP so I want to start out learning how to do the "advanced"
    stuff from day one and not have to start with dragging and dropping
    PNGs w/o any coding and then "relearn" how to do it in code so I
    can do anything beyond having the image appear and rotate.
    I *am* willing to put time into this endeavor, but only after
    I have a few things spoon-fed to me by "advocates" who's job is to
    get me "hooked" and willing to invest my time to go beyond Hello
    World. At the same time I am download and playing with GarageGames,
    TGE/TGB, Game Maker, Dark Basic, Blitz Basic, etc. and many
    complete development environments that are full-featured and
    completely free if I limit myself to releasing only freeware games,
    or cost me less than $50 for the "professional" version with all
    the bells and whistles.
    I have heard rumors and rumblings about some open source
    tools being available and Adobe maybe open sourcing some of their
    previously pay-to-play tools, but also understand that Adobe can
    probably provide a better "comprehensive" package of tools,
    documentation, tutorials, and support, *if I can find the right
    place to ask/start.*
    And, most of all, I don't know where to start my search as I
    have no personal contacts to bug about stuff like this.
    So, where can I find the big red button to push and get
    everything I want handed to me on a silver-platter.
    [please understand I have written this with some attempt at
    self-mocking humor and am not some clueless n00b]
    Thank you for taking the time to read my lengthy posting. I
    hope to find some helpful replies and start down an interesting
    learning path.
    --Chaim

    Just saw your post. Better late than never. You may want to
    consider GameBrix.com, where you can create Flash based, casual
    games using your web browser. No downloads are required. You can
    create a game from scratch using a library of images, sounds and
    game mechanics. You can also upload your own. The online script
    editor will allow you to view and edit the ActionScripts associated
    with each game mechanic. In short, a great way to ramp up on game
    design and build your own game without investing a lot of $
    upfront.
    BTW I am associated with GameBrix so any feedback is
    appreciated.
