Flash content rendering on FireFox on Mac

Hello,
I have a expanding ad test page which works fine on Windows
IE and FireFox, but on FireFox on Mac, the clipping doesn't work
properly, you will see the stuff on the expanded area after the ad
is collapsed.
Anyone knows what could caused this problem? Is it Mac OS
related?
Here is test url:
http://demo.doubleclick.com/qa/motif/expnd_testpage_trans_mactest.html
Thanks,
Wei

As it turns out, rebooting solved the problem. Should have tried that before. Rebooting is always the answer. I did also update to 10.9.4 in the process, so that may have had an impact, although I suspect not.

Flash content renders above everything else

This is something that has been happening since even way before I upgraded to Safari 5. Every page that has any flash content renders the flash on top of everything else.
Example: a site with a dropdown menu and a large content slider made with flash, the flash covers the dropdown menu making it impossible to click the links. Or heres an example that I have a screenshot of:
http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/5820/flashk.png
Here the flash covers only part of the content but its annoying especially on sites built with large flash areas. Is there a fix for this? This has been happening for as long as I can remember.

Honestly I cannot find any other sites, I know there are many out there I just cant remember the name. Regardless this happens no matter what, for some reason my Safari renders Flash the top layer in ANY instance. I can try to explain another site I remember distinctly: The site had a header much like the Apple site here except that the menu was a CSS dropdown menu. Right below the menu was a sort of "headlines/highlights" section which spanned the full width of the webpage design and it was build purely with flash. Now, every time you hover over one of the menu items they drop down, right below the flash so I couldn't read the links or even click them because Flash was stacked on top.
Another example I can think of is sites that use a javascript/jquery image viewer where you'd click a thumbnail and it would pop it up full size (like Gizmodo does with their galleries). Now if there is a banner ad on the side and I click an image it will come up full size but it doesn't cover the whole page like it should, it covers everything but the flash.

I can not get any sound while playing Flash content in IE, FireFox, or Chrome

I have Windows 7, 64 bit. I have ie 8, I think it is 32 bit, ("About ie" does not indicate 64bit).
I have unistalled Adobe Flash and re-installed, I have verified that I have the REG files under System32/ and SysWOW64/ (or whatever)...
I installed Chrome after I have having this problem. I have plugged my speakers into both the AudioJack in the back of machine, as well as in the headphone Jack. I have tried just using headphones...
I have gone to the 'configuration site' I have deleted Windows temporary files, I have deleted i.e. and FireFox files.
I have checked multimedia setting in ie advanced tabs.
I have checked the sound volume in the 'Mixer'
Sound works in my broser for Quicktime applications (like video on apples website). Sound works everywhere else...playing music, Windows startup, speaker test, etc...
I have worked on this for hours!!! Please help.
Thanks!

Below are the Steps from:
http://www.codecguide.com/fix_for_flash_sound_problems.htm
And my results:
Flash stores its files in a temporary files folder. A corrupt download can cause the sound problems.
Delete the following folders:
C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\Application Data\Adobe\Flash Player
C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player
Actually…Note that point 1 sould be %APPDATA%\Adobe\Flash Player%APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player
(Thanks willener)

Check if your sound device settings are correct:

This is not correct instructions for Windows 7.
Obviously I have checked sound settings in RealTek Audio manger several times. As well as in the mixer, and in the Internet Option Settings (Advanced Multimedia). I checked setting under “Hardware and Sound” there is nothing there that has any effect.
If you have QuickTime installed, then go to the QuickTime control panel. On the Audio tab, set "Default Music Synthesizer" to "General MIDI".
On the Advanced tab, disable "Enable playback of Adobe Flash tracks".
On the browser tab, click on "MIME Settings". Under "Miscellaneous", make sure "Flash media" is unchecked.
These are not accurate options on my computer (Quicktime 7.6.9).
Under Default Music Synthesizer. There is no “general MIDI” only option is “Quicktime Music Synthesizer”
Advanced Tab: “Enable playback of Adobe Flash tracks".is not an option
Browser Tab: "Flash media" is not listed under MIME Settings (There is no Miscellaneous)
Check if the file msacm32.drv is present in the C:\Windows\system32 folder. If not, copy it from another PC (that has the same version of Windows) and place the file in the system32 folder. If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows, then the file should be present in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder.
Verified these files are here.
If you are also having sound problems with other applications, then re-installing your audio drivers might solve the problem.
I am not having problems with other audio applications, but I still completed this – No help

Flash crashes Safari and Firefox on Mac

For over a week now, any web page I visit with Flash content causes both Safari and Firefox to crash. MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.2, 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2 GB RAM. I've tried un- and re-installing Flash, re-installing 10.6.2, resetting Safari, and every other tip I've found from researching this problem over the last few days. Please help!

My problem was duplicate fonts, resolved using the Font Book app.

Unable to interact with Flash content when running Firefox with restricted user

When running Firefox with limited Windows user on Windows XP the Flash elements are displayed, the content that is set to auto-play does so even, but the flash area doesn't receive any mouse input: e.g. when I right click in the area instead of the flash context menu I get the browser context menu as if the flash plug-in wasn't even there. The exact same page on the exact same computer but with Administrator user works as expected: can press buttons, interact with flash controls and the context menu upon right-click is of course the flash one. This behavior occurs even if I disable all add-ons.

Try uninstalling your sound card driver in Device Manager and reboot your PC.

Need help troubleshooting problem: Flash hangs after using Firefox (on mac) back button - works fine on all other browsers

to reproduce:
1. click on a flash button that takes you to a new html page
2. hit the back button on browser
3. flash button hangs
I've included a test page as an example below.
the bug is specific to having used the flash button and is specific to the Mac version of firefox. The PC version seems to work fine.

What is the address of the first page? The only thing that link you posted in your information was the page that says, "now hit the back button and see if flash hangs after clicking on the flash button".

Firefox doesn't detect text field on flash content in the Firefox for Android browser

Using the latest Firefox for Android from Google PlayStore as of 04/19/2013.
Installed Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.54).
Logged in with my account on www.chatango.com, which is a pure flash based site.
I can't type into the text field because the keypad doesn't popup when clicked on the field.

No, you have to click on "Login" and get in with your credentials. And then try sending someone a message. You won't be given a keypad to type with when you click on the input field. Why are you trying to do "Create A Public Group"? That wasn't what I meant when I wrote "Logged in with my account".

Flash Plug-in crashes Firefox/Safari, Mac OS 10.7

I have had trouble with the Flash Player plug-in crashing after I upgraded to Mac OS 10.7 a few months ago. I have the latest version of flash player (version 10.3.183.10). I uninstalled and re-installed Flash Player. I also brought the computer in to the Apple store for servicing. The people at Apple believe the problem is with the Flash Player. I have re-installed the Mac OS 10.7 operating system as well without any luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Neal

Sorry, I know nothing about Macs, but I'll try to give you a suggestion anyway.
Does the crash also occur when you go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ or http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337?
If not, can you try to disable Hardware Acceleration (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337) ?

Flash content does not play in Firefox

PROBLEM:
Videos and Flash content hang in Firefox. The screen is grey and the twirling circle is frozen. This is a recent problem; this behavior is new and it is unclear what has changed in my system.
1. The problem does not occur with I.E.
2. Win8 , Firefox, and Flash plug-in are current.
3. Running Firefox in safe mode does not help.
4. I have removed and reinstalled Firefox , Flash, and RealPlayer
5. Java is working.
''temporary'' SOLUTION:
Deleted RealPlayer
''edited by a moderator''

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 update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.
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]]

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.

Flash content flashing and crashing mac

Hello,
Since the latest FF and Flash update (37 and 17) I can't watch any videos or flash content - like (annoying ad) banners. Everything literally FLASHES. Like a strobe light. Then videos get stuck, the cursor jumps/freezes, sound stutters and eventually mac crashes (panic). The fans are constantly hyperventilating but nothing weird is running in activity monitor.
I have:
* Uninstalled and reinstalled flash; same for Firefox; cleaned flash cache - nothing
* I only have flash, java and QuickTime plugins installed
* Downgraded flash to previous version (16) - better, no flashes, but still stutters and crashes after watching video for 10-15 minutes most (sometimes not even that)
* Tried to watch using VPN but after a while graphics and sound go crazy
* Decided to upgrade again to flash 17. Now it flashes again and I can't watch videos for even 1 minute.
* Tried the about:config media.mediasource.enabled (change to true); dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode (change to false); Firefox "get info" open with 32-bit mode; - nothing worked
What can I do? Any idea?
Thanks

mms.cfg = Flash Player
Go to your plugins page. Set everything video to '''Ask.'''
You could try disabling Flash plugin's protected mode. The protected mode feature of the Flash player plugin has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems. There is a new hidden setting for this:
(A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(B) In the search box above the list, type or paste flash and pause while the list is filtered
(C) Double-click the dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode preference to switch its value from false to true.
This might not take effect until all Flash has been unloaded for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.
1) Enter the config by typing about:config in the address bar.
2) Enter media.mediasource.webm.enabled and press enter.
3) Right click on it and change to true, for some reason it is set as "false" which makes MSE & WebM VP9 not work properly.
4) Visit: https://www.youtube.com/html5 and check that everything is OK.
5) Try to watch a video. It should work now.

Firefox crashes on pages with Flash content

MacOS 10.6.5 on a 2008 MacBook Pro
Firefox 3.6.13
See below for Flash Player version info
Well I just updated to a new version of Firefox (3.6.13) and I had Flash Player 10.1 installed. Every time I open any web site with Flash content, Firefox crashes. This happens with Yahoo Mail, CNN, New York Times, etc. So I disabled Flash temporarily, and my Yahoo Mail no longer crashed. Of course I can't watch any online videos now....
I tried uninstalling Flash Player 10.1 using the Adobe uninstaller, and then re-installing it. No go. I tried the beta 10.2... still crashed. Finally I found a version of Flash 9 for Mac on Adobe's web site, and that does indeed work. Of course it's an older version, but at least I can use Firefox. The bad news is that the plugin is used by Safari also.
Any ideas?

I tried something else for now, since I'm using Flash Player 9 on my main system hard drive at the moment....
I have a bootable 48GB SSD in my ExpressCard slot. I often use it since it's faster. It has the same configuration of Firefox 3.6.13 and FlashPlayer 10.1, but it seems to have no problems. I right clicked a Flash animation and the hardware acceleration in on. Now why would it work on my SSD drive, but not my main hard drive?

Flash content makes Firefox to freeze/crash

Hi Team,
I have posted my problem a few days ago as a comment (an answer) to the "flash plugin" post from "cj_gadget". But I have got no answer, probably because the "flash plugin" post was labelled as "solved".
So I now post my problem as a new question, and since I have a Macintosh configuration while "cj_gadget" (and many others) was using a Windows PC, the solution may be different!
After a long period without using it, my iMac (running with Mac OS X 10.6.8) has been recently updated with the most recent versions of Firefox (25.0) and Flash Player & Plugin (11.9.900.117). The result is that Firefox crashes (freezes) on every page with Flash content. For other reasons, I have to stay with Mac OS 10.6.8 without upgrading to more recent OS versions. I have looked through Firefox and Adobe Flash Player help pages, as well as through many posts on this forum without finding an effective solution.
Following some of these posts, I have unchecked (in Firefox > Preferences > Advanced) the use of hardware graphic accelerator. Many posts advise to do the same for Flash Player with a right click on the video frame, but this is NOT possible since Firefox freezes immediately as all Flash video start automatically when the page is loaded.
I have also checked that a HTML5 video displays correctly as for : "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2w&html5=True" while "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2w" stucks Firefox. This Firefox freezing problem is general for all pages with Flash content (that is for a large fraction of the Web!) and NOT limited to Youtube which was just used here as an example.
Some more information : RealPlayer was not present on this computer when the problem appeared. If I disable the Flash pluging in Firefox, it does nor freeze, but of course does not display the video. Safari (version 5.1.10 - ok for Apple software update) works fine with Flash content.
I have sent many hours on this problem without progress and would strongly appreciate any help or even better a solution !

Hi, jpdemers , and thanks for your advices.
I have been travelling for some time and was not in position to make any new test for about two weeks (the affected machine is an iMac at home).
Today I have uninstalled Firefox using AppCleaner, as well as Flash Player using Adobe uninstall_flash_player_osx.dmg ; and I have then installed both of them from scratch.
Unfortunately the problem is still there :-(
I just notice that I forgot to reboot the iMac (twice) as you said. I believe it may not be so important, but I will repeat the cycle with the reboots included (early next year now !).
I will keep you updated on the issue, and I hope I will not have to reinstall the system. I have the install discs, but this may be an heavy burden...
In the meanwhile, I wish you an happy new year !

Flash content in browser dialog is not getting rendering with IE10 - Windows 8

Hi,
I am trying to launch window popup dialog. The dialog points to HTML page which loads swf file.
Everything works fine but in case of IE10 on Windows 8, the flash content is not getting rendering inside popup dialog.
I have verified that .swf file loads but it is not showing its content. If I close the dialog, the flash file conten get diaplay for a moment.
This isssue occurs if I open dialog using showModalDialog or showModalessDialog. Works fine if popup opened using window.open.
Reiterating again - this issue occurs only with IE10 on Windows 8. It works fine otherwise with IE10 on Windows 2012, Firefox on Windows 8 and on both browser in rest of the windows version.
Look at it get the clear idea - http://youtu.be/SupJYZoLk5I.
Requesting you to share your idea.
Thanks,
Prithveesingh.

Firefox does not use the same version of Flash as Internet Explorer, you need to download and install the version of Flash used by Firefox.
Using Firefox go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to download the installer, then run this file to install Flash.
This support article has further details - [[Install the Flash plugin to view videos, animations and games]]
