Flash Crashes Repeatedly - Mac Lion OS / Firefox 7.0.1

I am running Firefox 7.1 and have had Adobe Flash repeatedly crash when trying to view videos on comcast.net and cbs.com. I have updated Adobe Flash to the latest version (according to the Adobe site) and yet the crashes continue. I need help.
I am running:
Mac 10.7.1. (Lion)
Firefox 7.0.1
Adobe Flash 10.3.183.10

i haven't seen a crashlog, so let me assume everyone has the same issue. the root cause of the crashers are with non standard fonts. when the player enumerates through these fonts the non standard fonts causes the player to fault. there are a few ways to get through this issue. pick one that you feel comfortable doing.
try something new: level easy
we release FP 11.2 beta. install this player version will take advantage of new code that handles the non standard fonts. the player is beta and is watermarked, so keep this in mind.
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplatformruntimes/flashplayer11-2/
i want to use FP11: level moderate
there are 2 solutions to try. one is a quick and dirty, but is not as thorough...
solution 1:
move all the fonts from your /Users/<yourUsername>/Library/Fonts to another location (eg. your desktop). you have the option to delete them if you don't ever plan to use them again
quit your browser and restart your browser
solution 2:
this was outlined in another thread supplied by the user seantrue
http://damnedfinesoftware.blogspot.com/2011/10/fsusage-when-adobe-flash-crashes-in.html
i don't want to use FP11, but would rather downgrade: level easy/moderate
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
download the uninstaller and run it
download the previous player version prior to FP11 (10,3,183,10)
unpack and install
give one of them a try..
Note: the solutions outline here apply to Safari and Firefox. Chrome uses an embedded flash player plugin... it's not advised, but you could disable the ebmedded plugin and make use or the installed alternative.

When i wath youtube adobe flash crashed and in instell last firefox and the last adobe flash

when i wath youtube adobe flash crashed and in instell last firefox and the last adobe flash

A couple of things:
* Upgrade to Firefox 13 (you're currently running 12). Select Firefox > Help > About Firefox to upgrade.
* Check if your Flash plugin is out of date on this page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/. If it is, follow the instructions on the page for upgrading Flash.
Hope this helps!

I installed firefox beta 5 and flash crashed on every page so i reverted back to firefox 4 and now flash crashes on every page of firefox 4. how can i fix it?

Ever since i installed firefox 5 beta and the new version of flash, flash crashes on every page with flash on it no matter what version of firefox i run, and flash wont let me roll back to another version. I need flash for my work which is due by the end of the day so any help yall can offer is appreciated.

well i fixed this for a bit by reinstalling ff4 and restarting but now the firefox 4 that i re-downloaded continues to very aggressively update itself to 5 beta without asking me. it just notifies me once its done it telling me to restart and once i close firefox, boom. flash crashes every minute or so and freezes my computer. I love firefox. i have used it for years. but if no one can help with this problem or at least tell me how to stop firefox 4 from updating to firefox beta 5 im gonna go download something else because im losing money fighting with firefox to get my work done which is now taking 10 times longer to complete. i really want to keep using firefox but this is kinda ridiculous guys... I understand that betas have bugs but dont make me use it without asking me first...

Silverlight plugin crashes in Mac Lion - Firefox 20

Despite making sure I have the current Silverlight update installed, I've been having repeated trouble trying to view videos on Mac OS Lion. The crashes consistently happen whenever a link to a Silverlight video is clicked. Crash ID is bp-caa5b831-2464-47a6-9c0a-09f112130513.

Fireworks 5.1 crashes in Mac Lion

I've been using Fireworks for the past 5 years or so for heavy prototyping work. Have loved it! Once I moved to Mac OS Lion 10.7.2 I started having major problems with the software. It was getting progressively worse - from a crash or two per day to a point when it crashes on 'save', crashes on start up, crashes every 2 min, irrelevant to what I'm doing, which means I cannot have any work done!!!! I'm aggravated beyond belief: looks like Adobe have dropped development for this product as there's no fixes or patches, 5.1 hasn't been updated while every other soft in Creative Suite has been upgraded to 5.5. This is such a shame, as Fireworks occupies a rather unique niche for designers and I've worked with it quite successfully for so many years! But they don't leave any other option and I have to have work done. Will probably move on to using Omnigraffe, as many others aggravated by constant bugs and crashes under Lion.

Sorry you are experiencing these issues. A reinstall might help, and you can also check out these technotes from Adobe.
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq.html#lion-os
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Fireworks
Rest assured, Adobe has NOT dropped support for Fireworks. I would also point out that neither Photoshop or Illustrator received a 5.5 update either. The main products updated in the 5.5 release were Dreamweaver, InDesign and Flash.

Flash Crashes on EVERY YouTube video, Firefox 4, Firefox 3.6.x, Chrome, Everything.

Every single YouTube video will crash Adobe Flash, regardless of browser. I've gone from Firefox 3.6, to the beta/minefield? version of Firefox 4, and i've even tried Chrome. Regardless of browser, it will crash Adobe Flash. As you can understand this problem is exceptionally frustrating to me as my desktop computer has Firefox 3.6, with the same extensions and adobe flash installed with no issue whatsoever.
I have no changed anything to my system except for installing Microsoft Silverlight which I thought would've been the problem but sadly it didn't fix my issue after an uninstallation and cleaning of any registry entries with CCleaner.
I am currently on a clean install of firefox 4 with flash. It still crashes. I have no made any changes to my system. As far as I understand Adobe Flash has not updated their software within the last week, and if it has, my desktop computer has been regularly updating itself with no issues whatsoever.

''I had exactly the same problem and realized it was flash update[http://www.starbike.com .] Instead of rolling back, I checked and my display driver needed updating, once done all problems with Firefox 3.+ and 4.0, as well as chrome disappeared. Still not sure what is in latest flash update that is causing problem....thank you Adobe.
Hope this helps some folk.''
I had the same problem. I solved it with reinstalling adoobe flash player.

Dreamweaver 5.5 crashes in Mac Lion

I upgraded my Mac to Lion a couple of days ago and everything's been fine. Until this morning when it's crashed a couple of times in Dreamweaver 5.5, and then won't restart for some time.
I've seen a discussion where it recommends removing any dreamweaver files from the library/preferences folder.
The only two I could find were com.adobe.Dreamweaver.11.5.plist and com.adobe.Dreamweaver.11.plist.
I removed these but it made no difference.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks
David

It's very slow to start up. It will launch, but I get the spinning ball for about 3 minutes before it finally opens.
There's nothing in particular that I do when it crashes. It could be saving changes to a file.
I tried moving the only two dreamweaver-specific files I could find in the library/preferences - com.adobe.Dreamweaver.11.5.plist and com.adobe.Dreamweaver.11.plist - but they made no difference, so I've put them back.
I saw another thread which suggested removing files in the libraray/application support/adobe folder, but there's an awful lot of files and directories in there, and none that seemed specific to dreamweaver.
I haven't tried repairing permssions. I'll give that a go next.
I upgraded to the latest version of Lion over the weekend - Lion 10.7.2.
I had Safari running at the same time. It sounds like clutching at straws, but I'll try relaunching after repairing the permissions - and just open DW.
Do you know which preference files might need removing?
Ps. Just tried the above - but it made no difference. I timed how long it took for DW to open - 3 min 10 secs.

Adobe Flash Crash Problem Windows 8.1 FireFox

I have had an issue with not being able to watch any video's or play games on my computer due to adobe flash constantly crashing. I have an HP computer- 64 with windows 8.1 and I use Firefox. I thought I resolved the issue when I uninstalled and then reinstalled adobe, but when I restarted my computer for updates it went back to crashing. I have reset my firefox browser and that did not help anything. I also have found that everytime I restart or shut down my computer adobe flash goes back to malfunctioning. I also wanted to add that I checked the plugins on my browser and it says I have Adobe Acrobat 11.0.6.70 active and ShockwaveFlash 13.0.0.182 active. How do I fix this frustraiting problem?

Have you done a complete "clean install"?
Download the Flash Player uninstaller: Flash Player Uninstaller (825 KB)
Download the Flash Player FULL Installer: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Go to: C/ Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and delete EVERYTHING that Windows 8 will allow (It'll give you trouble with the ActiveX plug-in because it's embedded by Microsoft - avoid it)
Go to: C/ Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash and delete EVERYTHING that Windows 8 will allow (Again, it'll give you trouble with the ActiveX plug-in because it's embedded by Microsoft - avoid it)
Emtpy your Recycle bin.
Run the FULL installer.

Flash Crash/Chrome/Mountain Lion solved?

I had been plagued with Google Chrome Flash plugin crashes
after upgrding to OSX 10.8. Following Google's instructions to
disable Chrome's pluging and allowing the system's plugin
shared with Safari did no good. However after finding out that
The Gimp no longer ran when X11 was uninstalled during the upgrade
and that I have to install XQuartz 2.7.2 from macosforge and doing the
install the plugin crashes are gone. I don't understand the relashionship
but I'm not going to complain!

Transferring photos from a USB flash drive to Mac Lion

I managed to salvage some photos from my old Windows Vista laptop and get them onto a small flash drive, before my laptop pegged out.
But when I plug it into the USB port on the Mac, I dont see any Icon and no recognition of it.
How do I find it and get the photos into Iphoto ? or is it not possible to transfer photos from a flash drive to a Mac ?

you open finder it's the dark blue and light blue 1/2 faces
there you go to the usb drive and mark the photos and copy them to where you wish
on the mac hd and then add them to iphone should you wish

Flash CS6 Trial (Mac Lion) won't start up...

When I launch the program, the splash screen loads up to the point of "Loading Accelerators" and becomes unresponsive. I have to Force Quit the application and never get to use the software.
What can I do to identify and solve the issue?

I have the same issue (only intermittent) but I have a licensed install, no error on install. This started on my Mac OS 10.7.4 after recent update to Flash CS6. No problem on my PC. With tenacity I do sometimes get it to launch (takes over 60 seconds). No clue yet as to the issue.

CS4 Flash crashes repeatedly on saving

I've got a large(at least I assume it's large, ~200meg) flash file I'm working with that upon saving, it goes into the dreaded "(Not Responding)" mode. Is this a symptom of being such a large file? It's image intensive--I can try reducing the image quality--or is there something else I'm missing? A known problem? It now happens more often than not. I'm on a toshiba laptop, using the latest version of windows.

Now a new problem--this began yesterday afternoon--when I open Flash and attempt to open my .fla file it will freeze, flash will display the dreaded "(not responding)" and after 10 minutes, it will load, but run slowly, and then eventually crash--usually when I try saving it after making changes. THis is with nothing else running, CS4 updated and windows 7 updated, plenty of hd space, 4 gig ram, new laptop, etc. Of course it happened during a presentation for the first time so I had to stall for 20 minutes until I could open the .swf file in reader to show people.
The swf file loads fine in reader and in web browers, and other .fla files open fine in flash CS4. What could be the problem? I can't work on the project anymore until this gets sorted.

Repeated flash crashes in Firefox

Flash crashes repeatedly for me in Firefox on a new 2015 MacBook Retina (12" display)
I saw from another thread that the Firefox crash reports are helpful to the group moderators for crashes, so here are some of mine:

the crash analysis shows it's likely 1146036 – Adobe Flash 17.0.0.134/169 crashing on Flash thread in libGL.dylib in FF 34 and up which makes sense (crash on retina displays with flash hardware acceleration on) Unfortunately there's no clear fix yet other than turning off acceleration as a workaround...

Adobe Flash crashes and other questions about Flash

There have been several instances of Adobe Flash crashes whether I am using Firefox, IE or Google Chrome browsers - and simply reloading the page corrects this BUT recurs again and again.
I'm running Windows 8.1 64bit in which the Flash program apparently comes embedded in the OS as a 32/64 bit hybrid. When I inspect the Flash version add-on in Firefox, and run an update check, Adobe reports, correctly, that my system is Windows 64bit , English, Firefox. Then, when I do the same in Windows Internet Explorer by checking the embedded version, I get a message that KB2999249 is available for download to correct Flash issues in IE. Since that install, Flash hasn't crashed in IE [yet].
So, my question is: How can I be certain that when Firefox reports that Flash is "up-to-date" that it is indeed a 64bit compatible version? Note that the Adobe download site only identifies one available version for Firefox, IE and Google - the current version being 15.0.0.152 file: NPSWF32_15_0_0_152.
Does the "32" part of the file name suggest that it is a 32bit application and, if so, where can I find NPSWF64_15_o_o_152 [if it exists]?
''edited the title of this thread to reflect the questions asked''

I now understand the version nuances between the browsers and thanks for the response. Now what, if anything, can I do to address the continuum of Flash crashes since I find it difficult to believe that I'm the only user experiencing this anomaly?

Flash crashing Firefox on Mac

I recently upgraded to Firefox 3.5.5 on a TiG4 running 10.4.11, and the latest version of Flash player, 10.0.32.18. After numerous Firefox crashes, I had support at Firefox go over the crash reports, and they concluded that the problem was entirely in Flash. I have tried unistalling and re-installing Flash. I am using the latest Java. While disabling Flash prevents the crashing, what do I need to do to get everything working again?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Also, unlike some others here, I haven't had any installation problems.
Has anyone else been able to get the latest Flash to work with Firefox on a Mac?
