Firefox keeps stalling and crashing; Adobe plug-in has been updated, but still says it's "out of date" on my add-in page...

I don't have any "out of the norm" add-ons...
I recently experienced Firefox continuously crashing whenever I try to attach a PDF to an e-mail in Yahoo (not a large file size - about 300kb). I checked my add-ons to see if there was an issue there, and noticed there was a message stating "Adobe Acrobat is known to be vulnerable and should be updated message", even though I thought I had already updated it.
I went ahead and re-downloaded anyhow... it successfully installs, and then I still get the same error message.
Furthermore, this issue was recently added on top of my Firefox already running slow and crashing... I often clear my cache and have tried running in safe-mode as well, although this doesn't allow me full capabilities...
The only thing that seems to be different is the issue with the Adobe Add-on and a recent Java update. Are there instabilities in these?
How do I fix the issue with Adobe? I need to be able to upload, download, and view PDFs...

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 Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
[[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

  • "SQlite Version Error The application has been updated, but your version of SQlite is too old and the application cannot run." What is this all about?? Shall I give up on Firefox?

    When I tried to use Firefox this morning I got this message with exclamation marks.
    "SQlite Version Error The application has been updated, but your version of SQlite is too old and the application cannot run."
    What is this all about?? Shall I give up on Firefox?

    Sorry to hear that. I understand your frustration and I hope they send back a better working N78-3.
    Myself, I count myself lucky. Everything works perfectly for me right now...email, bluetooth, maps, gps, 3rd party apps, battery life, 3G, wifi, etc. etc.
    The only issue I've been having is the dreaded reboots but I believe that may have to do with 3rd party apps. I recently uninstalled Google Search app from my N78 and since then it hasn't rebooted or shown any issues. This seems odd at first but makes sense if you think about the fact that the Google Search app loads itself into memory and runs in the background at all times.
    I did this this past Tuesday night and so far no reboots, crashes or any problems. I'm sure I just jinxed myself but I've been using it heavily over the last few days with no issues. Prior to this, it would usually reboot every 2 days. If it doesn't reboot for another few days I'll be happy.
    I would normally not stand for this but I just love the phone and if I got something else it'd probably be the iPhone 3G which has perhaps more software bugs and issues than the N78-3!!
    Best of luck. Here's hoping they release an update soon.

  • Updated to 5.0.1, Mozilla and Google Plus still says it's out of date.

    I got an invite to Google Plus. When I went to the site, it said my Firefox was out of date and needed updating. So I did, to 5.0.1 Even my "about Firefox" says it's up to date.
    However, when I got to Google Plus it still says it's out of date and when I go to the Mozilla Firefox page it too says it needs updating.

    Same computer that you posted here with?
    If so, your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed, and it says you are running Firefox 3.0.11, not Firefox 5.0.1. <br />
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' <br />
    Filter = '''general.useragent.''' <br />
    Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset'''''. <br />
    Then restart Firefox

  • The Flash player plug-in has been disabled and when requested I updated it. it still says I am out of date. this is on a 64bit compuet

    When flash player stopped working the image came up and said I needed to update flash player. I have a 64 bit W7 computer and Adobe installed v11-64mss. When checking the plug-ins, Firefox still says my flash player is out of date.

    Are you downloading it directly from Adobe - of from the site where you get the error message?
    Never download from a third party site as you may get an older version or a corrupted version.

  • I was recently attacked by registry dr and conduit malware. Malware has been removed, but since then thunderbird is slow and doesn't respond. How do I fix it?

    I was attached by registry doctor and several conduit malware programs. I had the malware removed from my computer. But ever since them thunderbird has been very slow or not resonding at all. l have uninstalled and reinstalled thunderbird twice. The first time it seemed like it fixed the problem for a few minutes, but then it stopped respondig.
    I have tried opening in safe mode, and the first time it seemed like it worked better, but before long it stopped responding.
    Any idea what the problem is and what to do about it?

    See if any of this helps. My guess is that it is your McAfee.

  • Mozilla keeps stalling and crashing whenever I try to view videos online, or check my email.

    Whenever I try to check my email, or watch videos [on YouTube], Mozilla Firefox stalls--seemingly frozen--then I end up having to force it to shut down. And when I try to open a new window and restore the session, the screen appears frozen and unresponsive.
    Before posting this question, I made sure that all of my plug-ins were updated, my computer(Windows-PC) is virus-free, and that I was running the most recent version of the browser. However, I'm using Google Chrome to post this question. I have uninstalled Firefox out of frustration.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Firefox keeps freezing and crashing on 2 pc's

    I have 2 pc's in the household which are using Windows 8.1 Pro 32bit and using firefox 37.0.2. They both currently have add-ons but firefox still crashing either if they are enabled or disabled. This happens then there is only 2 or 3 tabs open at one time. And sometimes Norton Toolbar doesn't work either. I have contacted Norton themselves and they say that their Toolbar is working fine as they had no reports for any customers. I think this is a bug in the browser which needs to be fixed. Mozilla needs to find out why this happens and fix it.

    Several of the crashes are from flash player. You can try disabling flash protected mode:
    go to "about:config" in the address bar and paste "dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode" in the search box. Double-click on the result that appears to set it to true.

  • I used the plug in check and it said i needed to update adobe shockwave. However, i downloaded the most recent version and the check still says I am out of date. I installed 11.5.9r615 for apple os 10.swno leopard full 64 bit. why is this.

    I uninstalled shockwave and reinstalled it with the same result. what gives?

    I have that same problem on my laptop, it is because Adobe Shockwave does not support 64 bit systems yet...I am not sure how you would do it on your particular operating system, because I am running windows 7..but I have to go into IE 32 and run the update. Check yours and see...hopefully that will work for you or at least this explanation works .

  • Firefox stall and crash when adding or downloading any files

    Firefox will stall and crash after attempting to add or download any kind of files. I have also note that when highlighted the words in the boxes under the top of the screen menus File, Edit, Tools and Help will look like frayed, this will not happen with the menus View, History and Bookmarks where the words are solid and clear.
    I recently reinstalled Firefox and the program has created a Old Firefox Data in my desktop.
    The last version I had +/- two years was also having a similar problem plus a total freeze and crash by going to Options, which does not happen anymore.
    Firefox 22
    Windows XP Media Center Edition SP3

    Although always very conscious of security in my pc, two years ago I have a bug trying to do some damage in this system. After some fight and the help of some online scanners, TDSSKiller and even Combo Fix, I tough I got ready of the problem; nevertheless I have to deleted Firefox because maybe it was compromise beyond the point of fixing.
    This days find me reinstalling Firefox, I thought that furthers updates will have work for a stronger program and a clean running.
    I have always like Firefox way above any other browser; is not as intrusive as others and reacts fairly fast (plus give me more options that the main stream and corporate ones).
    This computer runs now with:
    AVG Antivirus Free Edition 2013,
    Spybot w/ Tea Timer (for the registry),
    SuperAntiSpyware,
    Malwarebites' Anti-Malware,
    Windows Defender,
    Zone Alarm (for firewall)
    I try to run them often, even in safe mode when possible.
    Ideato, if you are sure this is a malware related issue I will do as suggested at the end of this article that you point out (Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware) and go to see the Pros at Bleeping Computer Forums, once they are sure I don't have anything of risk I come back here for the follow up.
    What you think?
    Thanks, and thanks David too...

  • I have the latest Adobe flash player installed but it does not show up in my add-ons or plug-ins on Firefox 3.6. In the plug-in check, it recognizes that the shockwave flash is up to date. How can I have the plug-in appear and be enabled on firefox?

    I have uninstalled the flash player and installed it numerous times with no recognition by the Firefox plug-ins. I also have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it as well. I have also restarted my computer several times as well. The flash player is certainly installed but not working on Firefox. Thanks in advance for your help.

    James j,
    You have a different problem. Your screenshot shows "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed".
    See [[Plugin crash reports]] and [[The adobe Flash plugin has crashed]]. If you need more help you should [[ask a question|ask a new question]] (start a new thread).

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 keeps lagging and crashing

    My Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 keeps lagging and crashing to a point where I cannot do my job. When I open my premiere file, I can work on my timeline for maybe two or three minutes before it lags, freezes, and then finally crashes. I'm at a loss of what exactly is causing my problem because I edit primarily H.264 files and my sequences are not complex in any sense of the word. I've been dealing with this for days and I cannot seem to find a solution. If anyone has any advice please let me know because I am desperate. Thank you.
