Firefox has trouble with all flash applications

My favorite forum website recently dropped support for IE. This specific reason, is the ONLY reason I stopped using IE. Firefox has a much closer resemblance to IE than chrome, and this is the ONLY reason I chose it over chrome.
Everything works fine, except every and all flash applications.
Youtube, animated ads, games... everything causes huge cpu load spikes and lags like crazy (I'm sure it would cause a crash on a basic computer). I have a very high end rig, the problem is not my hardware, or internet speed (100mbs). It is entirely fire fox.
All flash apps work FINE on IE/chrome, I tested them. Please offer support, thank you.

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Youtube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]
On Windows Vista and above, you can disable Flash protected mode by following the instructions on these pages:

(See [http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html this Adobe blog post] for technical details about Flash protected mode.)
For recent updates for Adobe Shockwave Flash, please update your version to 14.

Hi scotty2hotty1972,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some steps you can try if iTunes isn't recognizing your optical drive:

How do I add a desktop link to additional email accounts? I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link on my desktop that takes me to two other email accounts.

Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

Open General preferences in System Preferences. You can set the desired scrollbar behavior there.

Margin trouble with a Flash object in Dreamweaver.

Hi everyone,
I am having trouble with the top and bottom margins of a banner created in Flash and then inserted into Dreamweaver. I thought I had done the proper zero margin adjustments, I usually use IE8 and everything looked fine.
However, when viewing the page with IE in some (not all) other computers a red (background color) line appears accross the white frame at the top and another one interrupting the shadow at the bottom of the banner. Not sure whether the difference was the IE version or a question of settings.
Any ideas as to what may be causing this problem and how I to solve it?
Also, in Safari and Chrome everything looks good, but with Firefox (version 3.5.1) for some reason the white bottom margin within the banner's frame is bigger than the top. Not as big a deal as the first problem, but I guess they are probably related.
Here is the link to the page in question: http://www.migtraducciones.com.ar/who_we_are.html
Thanks in advance for any helpful hints.
Regards,
Eduardo.

Thanks for your answer.
I mean that I can't find the folder to authorize. I will be more clear: this is the dialog box (it's in italian, but you all know what is about).
How can I tell Flash Player to authorize the iWeb widget folder if I can't find it in my Mac?
I'm under Mac, OS X 10.6.7.

Firefox has started blocking all incoming photographs in emails-how can I stop it?

Recently, Firefox has started blocking incoming photographs within emails, even those from trusted friends.
If I open the email in Internet Explorer the images are there within the email.

Which web based mail service are you using?
If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.image pref should be 1.
There are also extensions like Adblock Plus (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

Since I've updated to iOS5, my first-gen iPad has trouble with Safari. It crashes frequently, while I'm on many different sites. Any ideas? Thanks.

I recently updated my re-manufactured first-gen iPad to iOS 5.0.1, and it's having trouble running safari. It crashes many times while I'm using Safari. . This didn't happen until I updated to iOS 5 and 5.0.1. Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks!

How about this for irony .... As I was typing my response to you, Safari crashed on me for the 5th time today! Yes the issues has been reported many times on this discussion site.
These are the basic recommended fixes. Start with the reset Safari tip - the last one listed. Good luck!
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by e tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Freezing firefox (bon echo) with 32bit flash plugin

Hello all,
I've installed on my arch64 the 32bit flash plugin for firefox according to arch wiki pages. It works in a sense it does not crash. Nevertheless, it freezes for several seconds whenever opening a web page with flash animation.
If firefox started from terminal, it reports errors about libraries - like found that and that library, which should be 32bit, but it is 64bit and vice versa.
Can I somehow solve the problem by setting up LD_LIBRARY_PATH or other environment variable just for the firefox?
Thanks
Dusan

If you want a full 32-bit-based browser that will work with the flash and java plugins natively, see bin32-swiftfox-prescott or bin32-swiftfox-athlon64 for the Core2 or Athlon64 processors, respectively. If you want java, then search for the 'lib32-jdk' package. You'll have to link the java plugin yourself:
# ln -s /opt/java32/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /opt/swiftfox/plugins/
I originally created these packages because I need "Java WebStart" for work, and it only comes in the 32-bit JRE/JDK. It all works very well for me!
Good luck!

I am having trouble with all websites that have the embedded Windows Media Player. If I go to a page with a Webcam that is using Windows Mwdia, the player does not play or even show up. Any ideas?

With all my other browsers, thia is not an issue including Firefox 3.6. For example, this page http://www.liveduvalstreet.com/ will display fine in every browser except Firefox 4. Because of that issue, I reverrted back to 3.6 until I can find a fix. I have tested this page in Chrome, Maxthon 2 and 3, Internet explorer 8 and Firefox 3.6 with no issues at all. This is just an example site. All sites with the embedded player will not work.

Thanks a million! Thatr did the trick. I had an older versiuon of the plug in installed as well.

Downloaded ios5 to my iPad, had trouble with all my apps but that got fixed. now the whole thing is so slow it is almost useless. have rebooted, didn't help

i downloaded ios5 to my ipad. Initially had problem with apps which was fixed by downloading an upgrade and they all staarted working. But everything is so slow it is almost useless. i have tried rebooting, it didn't help.

Other users have reported this very same issue after updating their iPads. You are using the original iPad according to your profile and those devices seem to be the more adversely affected devices. You can try the basic things and see if any of this helps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If none of those things help, you can always try restoring your iPad. I have restored mine with some success, but I still have issues that I hope will be resolved soon.
An update to the iOS has been announced and it is in Beta now. Hopefully it will be released to all users soon.

Mountin Lion has trouble with external monitors

Not so much a question as a shout-out. Since going to Mountain Lion, my pretty new (February this year) MacBook has been having no end of trouble with external monitors. I use it a lot with the clamshell closed with two different external monitors of two different sizes, one at home, one at work. It sometimes thinks the one is the other, or if I unplug the monitor in sleep, when I later open the clamshell, the screen stays black and I have to force a reboot with the power button. Never had these problems with exactly the same set-up in Lion. Sometimes it also refuses to find a connected monitor or projector, I have to pull the dangle and put it in again.

If memory serves, one of the 'flaws' with BM's hardware is that it will not convert on-the-fly. So if your sequence doesn't match what the TV is accepting, you get black.
For example, my TV will not accept 1080p, only 1080i, so working in a 1080p sequence would produce no image for me as the BM will only output exactly what's in the sequence, it can't convert my 1080p/24 sequence into 1080i/30 for output.
Now I'd expect your TV would have no trouble accepting a 720p signal but, maybe the above data will lead you down a path of investigation.

Trouble with keeping Flash Player installed

Windows 7
IE 64 bit
Latest Flash Player
     I'm having trouble with keeping the latest flash player installed and even registering it's installed. When I install it, there are no error messages, and around 50% it jumps to being finished installing. My flash files don't read the flash player as being installed and when I restart my computer, if I go to a website that requires flash player, it tells me I need to install Flash Player version X (usually 9) despite having installed version 11.7.700.169.
     I've been having this problem since I installed CS 6 about two to three months ago. After following the installation path I find that both the 64 bit version and the 32 bit version have been installed somehow even though I downloaded the 64 bit version.
     I just found out that it may be causeing problems viewing Youtube videos as well.
