Firefox Flash plugin crashes when FF launched with "Run as different user"

I often start Firefox in Windows 7 (x64) using the "Run as different user" mechanism. After upgrading my Flash plugin to v11 (11.8.800.94), the browser will hang for several minutes when visiting any page that contains Flash content. When Firefox becomes responsive again, scrolling a page with Flash content will cause the app to hang again. Disabling the Flash plugin eliminates the problem.
It seems the plugin is silently crashing -- I'm not alerted to a plugin crash in any way (no dialog or yellow "Flash player crashed" notice at the top of the window), but after FF hangs I will see a new crash report entry in the FF about:crashes list. An example crash report is available at https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/ff452291-b5b2-44e4-a172-416792130818
The plugin does not crash when Firefox is running under the same account that is logged onto Windows interactively -- only when running FF as a different user. For example, if I log onto Windows with user account Adam and launch FF normally, the problem does not exist. If I close FF and launch it as user Bob (shift+right-click Firefox Shortcut, choose "Run as different user"), the problem will appear. However, if I log into Windows as user Bob and launch FF normally, the problem does not exist.
I have tried the following as troubleshooting steps, all to no effect:
Create new Windows user accounts to rule out potential Windows or Firefox profile issues.
Use another PC (also Windows 7 x64). The same behavior occurs on both PCs
Disable AVG antivirus.
Upgrade Firefox to latest version (23.0.1).
Disable Flash hardware acceleration.
Give both user accounts full local admin privileges.
Can anyone suggest something to try next?
Update: Per the troubleshooting instructions at < http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 >, I was able to eliminate the problem by adding the line
ProtectedMode=0
to my C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg file to disable Flash Player Protected Mode. There are instructions on that page for submitting a Protected Mode-related bug, and I will follow through with that.

Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
so here ya go.

  • On Paltalk Express,the Adobe Flash plugin crashes when logging in

    I'm running on Ubuntu 9.10 with Firefox 3.6.10.
    thanks to the first post, i didn't downgrade Firefox to 3.5 but i did download 3.5.
    Here is what i did:
    I downloaded 3.5.13 : http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    The link to 3.5.13 is on the right under Other Versions.
    Once you click on FF 3.5.13, it'll take you to all different languages of 3.5.13.
    I got the English version. The name of the file is : firefox-3.5.13.tar.bz2
    Once downloaded, i opened the location of the file( Downloads folder) and opened the package by double clicking on it. YOur 9.10 should be able to recognize bz2 format and you will see a folder called Firefox in the archive.
    Simply, extract the folder and place it on your desktop.
    IF you want to run FF3.5.13, close all firefox browsers that are already opened.
    Once this is done, Open the folder "Firefox" that you just extracted and double click on the file firefox. It should ask you to run, display, run in terminal... simply press run.
    This is how i got it to work. simple steps. to confirm it is working, check the version of firefox and try paltalk express

  • Chrome, Firefox, IE all crash when leaving page with flash

       Hi,
      I am running XP with SP 2 on a Intel Core Duo Dell machine. These are coporate machines. I've had two in the past two weeks and both are giving me the same error.
       After installing the latest flash player, all browsers are able to load a flash page. However, when leaving that page for another, all browsers stop responding. They don't crash, they merely freeze.
       Chrome indicates that the flash plugin has crashed and would I like to terminate it. The others simply stall.
       I've uninstalled, re-installed, rebooted.. etc.
       Interestingly enough, a fellow coworker who appears to have the same machine as I, does not have this problem.
       Any ideas on how to debug this ?
       Thanks
       J

    i seem to have the same problem too....
    chrome tells me that Shockwave plugin has become unresponse then says its crashed....
    Firefox becomes unresponsive (i've left it in that state for quite a while..result nothing)
    i uninstall flash using the uninstaller provided from adobe (or from add and remove programs, tried both options) and browsers run perfectly fine... of course access to flash content lost since i need the plugin...!
    I'm running Vista Home Edition SP2
    antivirus - AVG Free
    particular websites that i use (all of them with flash content crash!!!) and that crash EVERY time - youtube, bbc.co.uk, facebook, gmail, f1-live.com, all sites with flash crash!!
    i've tried everything i could find on firefox forums, chrome forums, and here... nothing works... now i'm gonna revert to flash 8 and try... hopefully adobe will respond to this problem... its not jus one or two who are facing this problem...!!

  • Adobe flash plugin crashes when I open Frontierville in Facebook

    9 out of ten times that I open Frontierville in Facebook I get an error that says "Adobe Flash plugin has crashed". I have reinstalled the plugin numerous times. I cleared my cache. Finaly, after 2 days of this I uninstalled and reinstalled both Firefox and Adobe Flash. Still the same problem. This is getting ridiculous, what can I do?
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://

    CPAddict, know that it is not recommended to downgrade for Firefox 3.6.3, since Firefox 3.6.4 includes security fixes from previous versions. You'll probably find version 3.5.10 to be the best solution, if you want to downgrade, as it contains all the latest security fixes, but doesn't have plugin isolation.

  • Flash player crashes when I launch swf in debug mode

    Not sure whether this is a bug on the player side or flash builder side, but when I export and debug the flash player crashes.  This means I cant trace and debug.
    Please help.  Can I trace without using debug mode?

    The web site I was trying to open was http://www.jaylenosgarage.com  The add was for Sprint phone service about half way down the page, on the right.  I was using this site as a test site.

  • Flash player crashes when adjusting audio volume

    MacBook Pro, OS X Version 10.9.5
    Safari internet browser, version 7.1
    I am taking online classes via megameeting.com.  When loading the classroom, flash works perfectly fine.  However, as soon as I adjust the computer's audio volume (either by pressing the keyboard button or manually clicking and dragging the volume adjustment slider bar on my desktop), I immediately get a white screen with a gray "plugin failure" message. 
    I can run the same classroom simultaneously on the same computer utilizing google chrome, and flash does not crash on the chrome browser when I adjust the volume. 
    I followed the directions to perform a clean uninstall and reinstall (running Flash version 15), and I still have the same problem.  My settings are set to allow internet plugins.  So far, I have not detected this problem where adjusting the audio volume crashes flash on other websites.  Any help?

  • Firefox 16.0.1 Crashes, Not Responding with Unresponsive Script Warnings and Adobe Flash Plugin Crashes

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing some issues with Firefox 16.0.1 which I had also experienced with Firefox 15.0.1.
    On numerous occasions Firefox has crashed while attempting to access a website link contained in an AOL e-mail message.
    Unrelated to that issue, Firefox has hung up frequently with associated unresponsive script warnings and occasionally with the Adobe Flash Plugin crashing. Some of the unresponsive script warnings are:

    I've reset Firefox and disabled all the plugins and yet these problems persist.
    What are those script warnings actually telling me and are there any recommendations on how to resolve these issues?
    Thank you,
    Mike

    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • FireFox opens & Adobe Flash Plugin crashes in a WOT "automatic" download.

    WOT “automatically downloads” on a separate tab every time I start FireFox. Almost every time I start FireFox the Adobe Flash Plugin crashes in the WOT automatic download and ties up my PC. The problem does not occur with Internet-Explorer which I seldom use.
    1- I removed WOT and re-installed it, but it continued the same.
    2- I reinstalled the Adobe Flash Plugin which I always keep up to date.
    3- Please work this out.
    4- Why must WOT automatically download on a separate tab every time I start FireFox? It is very annoying.
    Thank you for all you do. Have a blessed day, Steve Lahey.

  • When I try to print coupons, I get a message that the coupon printer plugin has crashed. I've tried following the instructions for when the Adobe Flash plugin crashes, but reloading the page does not work. Just sits there for 5 minutes doing nothing.

    Happens when going to print.coupons.com. I click the "learn more" button on the message that the plugin has crashed, and I get sent to the Adobe Flash plugin crash info page on Firefox. They say just to reload the page. There is a button for this. I click it and the page tries to reload for 5 minutes before freezing.

  • Flash CS6 crashes when publishing fla`s with big libraries

    Hi guys,
    I am currently working with Flash CS6 and i noted that the bigger the libraries in my fla`s get the more likely flash will crash when i try to publish these fla`s. It already has gotten to a point where all the crashes, and then trying again to publish, has taken up a considerable amount of my time. But the thing is the publishing does not alway result in a crash, its more like 80% of the time it crashes. Also what i do once a file has crashed, i open it again and then just open and close some folders in the library, then safe and then try to publish again. After doing this 4 - 5 times publishing suddenly works again, but also just 4 - 5 times until it crashes again and i have to do it all over again.
    So again, this only seems to happen with fla`s with big libraries. Is ther something i can do about this?

    It's been my experience that Flash doesn't much like a few things in particular. One is large vector files with a lot of points; in other words stuff brought in from Illustrator or trace bitmapped from within the program so you might try reducing the amount of points in your art if you'r working with imported art. Flash seems to work best when all art has been created within the program. If you've converted it to vector via the Trace Bitmap or Illustrator's Live Trace it doesn't like that either. It also tends to bog down with high resolution bitmaps, especially with many layers (which greatly add to the file size) so you might try to flatten some of the art to make it more managable. In general, maybe see if you can reduce whatever file sizes you can in your project before you import them. I typically have some pretty big libraries and Flash doesn't crash so much for me so changing your workflow a bit might be useful. IF it's code that's crashing the render, that I can't help you with, but there's some pretty knowledgable people on this board who might be able to help in that regard.

  • Lion 10.7.4 Flash Plugin Crashes

    I am using a mid 2009 Macbook pro, and just updated to 10.7.4. Since doing this my Flash plugin crashes on both Safari and Firefox so I can't even load Youtube videos.
    I've got the most updated version of Firefox and Flash player, and after looking through forums have tried rebooting my Macbook several times. Each time I reboot Youtube videos load a little bit more without crashing, but I havn't got more than 5 seconds into a video yet.
    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Hi...
    Quit your browsers.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

  • Flash plugin crashes after Lion 10.7.4 update

    Has any one had this most recent Flash related problem?
    After updating my system to 10.7.4, the flash plugin crashes in both Safari and Firefox.  Videos don;t so much as start.
    I reverted back to 10.7.3 with time machine and flash workes fine again.  Reinstalled the update, and broken again.
    Safari and Firefox are all up to date as well as the flash plugin. All caches have been cleared. Based on info I have gotten from this and other forums, I have checked all the settings in the flash system preferences.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    I've had a similar problem.  On my first boot up after installing 10.7.4,  Firefox would not open.  Crashed every time.  Safari was not affected.  I have no idea if it was related to the flash plugin, but I did install a the latest version of that a couple of weeks ago. 
    Here's what fixed it: a second boot up.

  • Firefox Flash Plugin bug?

    Hi everyone,
    I have multiple Flex Applications (wrapped as portlets in
    Liferay) working on the same page at the same time in separate
    flash players, of course.
    When I access the page by Mosilla Firefox browser, all page
    portlets get reloaded after the last one is initialized.
    And the worst - each of them gets initialized again - it
    means that all data gets loaded again. This is proved by log
    records: in case of Firefox each portlet loads data twice, in case
    of using IE - once.
    Have you ever faced the same problem? Is it a Firefox Flash
    plugin bug or what?
    Thanks in advance.

    Updates:
    I've opened a bug with Adobe regarding this issue:
    http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-4362
    Also, the Cancel operation on a FileReference causes the same issue to happen as does loading.  I really think it's an operating system focus issue.
    UPDATE:
    Looks like this has already been tracked and is scheduled to be fixed:
