Firefox is unusable for Flash contents
As title.
I'm runnong Windows 8.1, with an i7 4.2GHz, 8GB of RAM and two high end video cards.
My system is not able to play a flash video smoothly if using firefox.
This problems continues since many months. It is a shame that firefox doesn't fixed it yet.
Please don't answer to try to delete plugin, files, reset, ecc. there is no fix yet, we need a fix from the mozilla nothing else.
there is no workaround to fix this problem, we need a fix from mozilla.

Proxy / Cache server for flash content / videos / stream
hi there,
i've tried to search the web, but so far no straight answer...
we are looking to implement/deploy a proxy server to cache and then serve flash content (published in the internet), so we can reduce our internet bandwidth utilization. Windows Server 2008 has Windows Media Services which have a feature to cache windows media content or split live stream. (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/howto/articles/cache_proxy.aspx)
is there a similar product to deal with flash content?
thanks in advance for all responses!I'm more or less in the same boat. I've got the admin console
up. I am able to run the vodtest application locally pointing the
video file to rtmp://localhost/vod/sample.flv or using the server
name instead of localhost as in rtmp://mclmedia/vod/sample.flv
I can also load the html and swf file to my xp machine that
has access to the server via our internal network. (DNS isn't
configured yet) But the connectionFailed message appears when I try
to call the videos using rtmp://mclmedia/vod/sample.flv -
Flash player is automatically block on sites like Youtube, and I have to click to play videos. While working at school, this is profoundly irritating, and I have no permissions to update flash shockwave. How do I disable the "click to play" so that I can automatically listen to youtube playlists, etc.
Updating Flash is NOT an option.I don't know if you can bypass that old version warning; there might be a way.
But I want to know why your Firefox is reporting itself as version 20. Is that also because you are not allowed to update Firefox either? Maybe you can pass along to your administration that Firefox 20 is not secure; Mozilla discloses [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html security flaws] after each new release. -
Alt tags for Flash content; How do I get rid of them
With the new Dreamweaver update, all my flash files have
acquired Alt tags. I imagine this has something to do with the
javascript it is now using to load the content. However, how do I
get rid of them! My clients HATE them, and I do too!OK -
This is the only markup you need to worry about -
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase','
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#
version=8,0,22,0','width','751','height','126','src','../SWFs/topNav?<%=Request.
QueryString%>','quality','high','wmode','transparent','pluginspage','
http://www.
macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','../SWFs/topNav?<%=Request.QueryString
%>' ); //end AC code
</script>
But I have to ask you - what is the VBScript in there doing?
It seems to me
to be invalid as well - 'request.querystring' needs a
"(stringname)" or an
empty (), no?
So - there is no "alt" attribute specified in there (nor can
there even be
one on Flash, anyhow). Without seeing the actual page, I can
only shrug and
say I have no idea....

Using frames for Flash content
I have to say I don't like frames at all, but I want to do
the following and I'm not sure how to achieve it....
I have an XHTML site which I want music playing on
continuously. The front page has a Flash jukebox on it, but
subsequent pages obviously reload the Flash movie, restarting the
song. The Flash movie currently sits on top of another picture
(using a transparent wmode).
Does anyone have any idea how to get this movie on every page
without it reloading? Alternatively, is there an ActionScript trick
to sort this out?
Cheers,
AndyYou could try doing something similar to this

Firefox cannot download any Flash content using Mac OS Lion
I am running Mac OS Lion (10.7) and FF 4.01 and 5 (on another Mac). I have both Flash & Video Download and Flash Video Downloader - neither works. It downloads a file showing nothing by gibberish (code).

Firefox doesn't print Flash apps
I can't get Firefox to print Flash applications. IE and Opera
do it fine, but not FF. Just blank white space. I've found lots of
posts throughout the internet where others have had the same
problems, but NO solutions. Is there any way to fix this???Matulga,
> This is the official Flash forum, right?
Yes, it is; but forum answers are provided by volunteers,
comprised of
professionals and amateurs alike. Not all questions are
answered,
unfortunately. Sometimes this happens because a question
hasn't been
clearly stated. Sometimes it happens because no one on the
forums happens
to know the answer. In this case, for example, the issue is
that Firefox
fails to print Flash content. I saw your question, thought to
myself, "Hmm,
that's interesting," and tested a handful of Flash sites in
Firefox. I was
able to print Flash content just fine (same in IE, but that
wasn't a problem
for you either). I tested a handful more and did find pages
where the Flash
content didn't print -- but then it didn't print in *either*
browser and I
assumed it was due to the way the Flash had been embedded. So
I don't have
an answer to this question, which is why I didn't answer
right away. I can
only speak for myself, of course.

Accordion flickers with Flash content
I think this is a known bug for accordion but I haven't seen
any solution for this yet.
The problem is accordion flickers if you have Flash content
inside the div, if it's just text, then it is ok. This happens on
all major browser including Firefox, IE, Safari...i had a similar problem - not the same.
it was solved magically when i added a JS file to solve a
completely different problem.
the script i added terminates the annoying 'click to activate
this control' on MS IE for flash content. you can find sciprts like
that on the web.
maybe you should try this to see if it works for you. -
I have recently found that Konqueror browser for Linux can help user to limit cpu usage while visiting a website using flash technology by changing settings in the Flash section and adjusting the slider from VERY HIGH settings to HIGH and MEDIUM and so on. It actually works, and it does not have a direct impact on the general performance for flash player but it may generate some conflicts if other extensions such as add-blocker or click-to-flash are enabled also.
Maybe you can add a similar setting in Firefox in the browser option section or just as an useful addon or extension.Sorry for being late with my reply. I've just tested that addon that you mentioned in your post ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../system-monitor/ ) , it looks like a system monitor and nothing more than that.
As for the memory tip ( about:memory ) I agree that it can be extremely useful for users that have less than 1 gb memory installed on their system. I know very little about computers but I can tell your tip for optimizing memory usage in firefox has merits.
Me, I have another problem with cpu overload in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and most of the browsers with flash support enabled. Each and every time time I visit a page that features all sort of adds and gadgets based on flash technology, and each time I try to watch a video online my cpu goes all the way up to 100% and stays there until i finally decide to close the browser.
I am running winxp and also linux on a Dell Optiplex GX260 machine with 2000 MHz cpu, 1024 Mib ram and 128 Mib video card, it is not the best computer in the world but still 2000 MHz should be enough for a limited and uneventful web experience.
It is not as much an issue with the web browser, any browser, the whole problem is caused by funny people claiming to be deeply involved with web development, and promoting flash technology for ages instead of choosing other alternatives, more user friendly. All I am saying is that flash ruined the entire web experience making people to believe that they actually need dual-core cpu and coreduo and deepfreeze cpu and so on which is only partially true.
I always get better results for cpu usage when watching online videos that use media player as default player and not flash player, and my cpu stays below 70% usage which is not much but still it is not 100% usage.
Konqueror offered me a nice surprise, and I was able to limit cpu usage once I moved that slider from Very High setttings for flash player to Medium settings. I got something between 80-90% cpu usage as a result, and I was very pleased to finally see a working solution to my problem at least for linux if not for windows.
The only other browser that I can use for windows only, which handles both flash player and cpu usage well is Kmeleon browser which is a long forgotten project but does offer nice features once you find some plugins that it needs to make it come to life again. -
Firefox closes on websites with Flash content
I have been experiencing this problem after the last couple of updates. I'm currently running 3.6.6. On nearly every site that runs Adobe Flash content, the content loads to the point that I know it will work, but Firefox stops loading the content, freezes, and then closes with no error messages. I reopen it and it asks for a session restore, but only about half of the time. The other half, it restores the tabs to about 10 seconds before the crash. I would open Speedtest.net, for example, it would load the player to when the blue line appears in the bottom, and then the loading wheel in the tab would freeze. After that, it closes. It has happened every time I opened that website. It would happen on other site with flash games as well.
I have reinstalled Adobe Flash by uninstalling and then reinstalling. I have also manually upgraded Firefox again. None of these have fixed the problem.Open up computer case, unplug and take out the processor fan cooler and wipe out all the dust, speccially in the heatsink, with a soft little brush and compressed air spray (also check power supply fan). I discovered this solution after weeks of trying all software related recommended steps and nothing worked, adobe flash player was still crashing in firefox, chrome and opera even after completely uninstalling flash and installing latest version 10.2.152.26 of the plugin. I realized this was the problem when pc started to crash unexepectedly when not playing flash videos. So, EUREKA, that did the trick for me. Hope it does for you.

Firefox hangs and will not allow me to access other programs running when I resize a pop up window, move a pop up window, accidentally right click flash content.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Not sure when it statrtedHi.
When this happens, please press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and see how much RAM and CPU Firefox is using. If they're sky high, then... Well, that kind of issues are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like. Thankfully, 99% of the cases are very easy to solve. However, you do need to diagnose what your exact problem is. Do this:
#run Firefox in safe-mode to disable all extensions and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions and plugins in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
#you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons.
Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix you issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't do it, I'm out of ideas. Except make sure you've followed my instructions correctly. -
Safari 4.0.4/Firefox 3.5.2 Freeze on Flash Content in Tiger 10.4.11
Sorry for any cross postings. I can't seem to find a thread where this issue is started by someone who is using Tiger as opposed to either Leopard.
Both Firefox and Safari get the spinning beach ball of death when they encounter Flash programming. I first encountered it with the Huffington Post website on Wednesday night, and then noticed it when trying to access some pages in Facebook with video, and ditto with Youtube. All Flash content.
My first attempt to deal with this was to just uninstall Flash. That worked, in the sense that pages no longer hung. However, I do need some of that Flash content and having uninstalled Flash, I couldn't access that content.
So yesterday I installed SafariStand so I might try to access some of the content that I need and that has partially worked. I set the Stand prefs to not auto load Flash and to ask me if I want to load Flash content in each instance. The pages load and are not hanging and I get a little box that tells me to click if I want to load Flash content. HuffPo, Youtube, even Facebook seems to work fine, I can click on Flash content and it plays without the spinning beach ball/freeze.
However, there is Flash content that I want to run and still can't because when I tell the Flash Plug In to load some content, it freezes the program and I get the spinning ball. Same happens to the same pages and sites in Firefox. I just updated Firefox 10 minutes ago and it didn't help. I've got Safari 4.0.4. I've been trying to load the BBC Listen Again iPlayer and it keeps freezing Safari and Firefox.
I've got OS X 10.4.11. I just checked again and there are no new OS updates for Tiger.
So any ideas? I have been dumping cache, removing the history and all that mumbo jumbo, which does not a lick of good for this issue. Like many others, since Safari 4 came out I've experienced more freezes than in all my prior years of being a Mac user. If it is an issue with Flash, will Apple deal with this? This is insane!You have tried a lot of things, all correct, but have you repaired permissions since reinstalling Flash?
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.
Also, how much RAM do you have? Some older G4's can struggle with today's streamed flash content. -
Firefox freezes many times when I'm playing Flash Contents (Youtube)
Hello. I have upgraded to Firefox 2.6.8 a while ago. The problem occurred recently. Whenever I play Flash Content usually on Youtube, Firefox freezes for many times and it makes my computer runs slower. It's not normal because I have a fast computer
YouTube videos use the Flash plugin. You can test your Flash plugin and see what version is installed by going to [http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Adobe's Flash Player test page]. To update Flash to the latest version, see [[Managing the Flash plugin]].
Starting in Firefox 3.6.4, Flash is loaded in a separate plugin-container process. For the background, see the articles [[What is plugin-container]] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins Plugin-container and out-of-process plugins (MozillaZine KB)].
If Firefox hangs when playing Flash videos at YouTube, it could be a video driver issue, Try turning off hardware acceleration in your [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player display settings] (visit any page that uses Flash, such as [http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Adobe's test page], then right-click the Flash animation, select Settings, and uncheck "Enable hardware acceleration" on the Display panel). ...More information here:

Firefox crashes or freezes unexpected while watching/using flash contents
Firefox crashes or freezes unexpected while watching/using flash contents. Particularly, when I need any flash content. It freezes up so that the only option will be to force quit the firefox.
I've noticed the crashing increasing with the newer versions. The worst thing is when I'm writing a long email and then go to a page with flash and ff locks up and then crashes. I use IE now for most flash content or mission critical emailing but IE's interface is poorly laid out so I don't like it. I've tried FF with the plugin container and without it and it crashes either way (more often without the container). I use adblock and firebug. I wonder if ppl experiencing this prob are using those plugins too.

Flash content gets obscured by other tabs in Firefox
I've had this problem for a while where when I'm viewing flash content in Firefox, changing to another tab and back again causes the content to be obscured by the previous tab, like this:
(click for full size)
I'm using flashplugin 11.2.202.336-1 from the official pacman repositories and Firefox 27.0.1, also from the official pacman repositories. It doesn't happen all the time, and refreshing the page fixes it, but it's annoying especially when returning to a long video after checking another tab.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks!
