Flash makes browser crash

When I try to watch a Flash video (Youtube, for instance) the
browser I am using freezes and doesn't respond. What should I do?
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Flash, but it still
doesn't work. The problem occurs in Firefox 2, Firefox 3, and IE.
It worked fine last night. But now it doesn't. I would appreciate
any help you can give. Thanks!

When you said you uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, do you
mean the Flash Player? The program Flash has nothing to do with
watching videos on YouTube (unless when you installed Flash it also
installed a corrupt flash player). If it occurs in that many
browsers, then it's either a corrupt flash player installation, or
maybe you have some conflicting browser scripts that causes the
problem. If it worked fine last night, what have you installed,
uninstalled, changed since then? Maybe try a system restore to the
day before this started happening.

  • Flash makes firefox crash

    Topic kinda says it all; any websites which contains flash makes firefox crash. I believe the problem started 1-2 days ago. I'm clueless, I don't remember there has been any related updates.
    I've tried to move ~/.mozilla somewhere else, and reinstall flashplugin, which not fixed the problem.
    Oh yeah.. opera DOES NOT crash with flash.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Flash causing browser crash

    I recently upgraded to Flash 8 and now anytime I open a flash enabled page in any browser the browser crashes. This happens with Safari, IE, Firefox, and Opera.
    Has anyone else had this problem? How can I uninstall Flash and perhaps go back to an earlier version?
    This would happen during the World Cup when all the FIFA pages are Flash pages...
    17" G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Wireless to a Lynksys wireless router.

    PhoenixRising,
    When you type "about:plugins" into the address field in the browser, does it list the Flash plugin? And is it enabled?
    As a side note, I went to the Fifa page and the audio, yet no video loaded when used under Safari, and nothing at all loaded under Camino 1.0.2.
    I am not sure how much Yahoo supports Mac browsers.
    Yet if its Flash it should play.

  • AVG causes adobe flash player to crash every browser I use

    As my thread subject says, when I have the free version of AVG installed it causes adobe flash to crash any web browser I use. I have tried reinstalling everything and ran registry cleaners and nothing I do seems to fix it. If I uninstall AVG, adobe flash no longer crashes my browsers. But as soon as I put AVG back on, bam - the problem is back. Also if I uninstall adobe flash while AVG is installed, I can view any website just fine. Does anyone have any idea what this problem may be? Any help as to how to fix this will be appreciated.

    Ok, Stay in IE and we'll get it cleaned up. Go to Control Panel>Add Remove and find Adobe Download Manager and Remove it. Then just close Add/Remove and close Control Panel. Go back to Tools>Manage Add ons and do this:
    Safe Search, if it is Enabled , with the mouse, hi light it, go down where it says Enabled/Disabled and click on DISABLE.
    Do the same thing with Adobe DLM, Windows Messenger, Windows Live Sign in Helper.
    Make note of anything that IS enabled. It should only be Shockwave Flash Object, you want that ENABLED
    Click ok
    Then I want you to go to www.sunmicrosystems and download and install Java, you will see on the top left side a coffee cup (steaming:-) and the word JAVA, click on that and follow the instructions.
    After that reboot your computer and post back if any problem.
         WATCH THAT YOU DON'T PICK UP ANY TOOLBARS FROM THE JAVA DOWNLOAD, CHECK CAREFULLY
    While you are doing that, I'm going to have a coffee:-)

  • Latest version of Flash Player keeps crashing on Chrome, would like someone who knows the browser to answer?

    Just happened today. For some reason, when I run Candy Crush Soda Saga, it crashes immediately. What's going on?

    The standalone Flash Player (Projector) is not updated with the Flash Player browser add-ons; you need to download the latest standalone player manually from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

  • My adobe flash player keeps crashing. Why?

    I use Mozilla Firefox exclusively as my browser. When I am connected to Facebook and playing their casino games, the Adobe Flash player keeps randomly crashing. When it crashes, it locks up the computer and I have to shut down and reopen the browser. Recently, an information box has been opening up in the upper left corner of the screen called the Adobe Flash Player action box or something like that. The context is filled with lots of computer jargon I don't understand. At the bottom of the box there are 2 options to pick from, either dismiss or continue. Most of the time the screen freezes up before I've had the chance to pick one. After I go to the Windows task manager and shut down the boxes that were open, I get the normal gray "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" screen. The really odd thing is that there is no prompt allowing me to send a crash report to Mozilla. I have uninstalled and completely reinstalled the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. Just in case these might be a problem, I have the following 3 "add-ons" loaded in to the browser: Quick Time Plug-in 7.7.6 7.7.6.0, Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.305, and Shockwave for Director 12.1.7.157. As well, in case they might be the problem, I have the following 2 programs installed into my computer are: Adobe Flash Player 16 NPAPI and Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1. FYI: I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit. Hopefully I have given you enough information to make an assessment. If you need anything from me, please let me know. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

    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:

  • Catalyst/Chromium causes screen to flash wildly then crashes computer.

    I'm using catalyst-test-pxp 14.3-1 and chromium 35.0.1916.153-1. I am using 2 monitors. The main one being my laptop's screen (LVDS) to the right and my secondary screen (CRT1) to my left. Previously I had used a single screen configuration, however after reconfiguring xorg.conf with aticonfig, spawning chromium will cause the screen to flash wildly and crash the computer, forcing me to hit the power button and wait for the system to power off. Here are some pictures that show what's happening: http://imgur.com/GidiC8p,0pna75I. Sorry for the poor formatting but I'm using elinks until xorg is fixed.
    I understand that using a pastebin is discouraged over using the "code" tags, but I can't paste anything in the environment I'm in right now.
    xorg.conf: http://bpaste.net/show/397680
    For clarification. I have 2 dedicated radeon cards. This is not a mistake.
    I'd really appreciate any help given.
    Thanks,
    Nia (Dragos240)

    I'm going to jump on this dogpile with a "me too" post.
    About my setup:  2 year old workstation, Intel Core2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, ATI Radeon 2600PRO graphics card, all up to date on Windows patches, latest device drivers, etc.
    Until now the system was totally stable.  For the past 1-2 weeks, anytime I try to play videos on CNN's website (which uses Flash), my system freezes-- no response from mouse, keyboard, anything.  Only way out is a hard reset.
    I've opened the case and checked all connections.  Pulled and re-seated memory, even switched the slots each stick is in.  Pulled and re-seated graphics card.  Cleaned CPU and graphics heatsinks with compressed air.  Verified all fans are working.  Replaced the power supply with a new Corsair 650w.  Ran utilities to verify CPU and GPU temps, and found all to be very good (it's a well cooled case).
    I've completely uninstalled all traces of Flash using the Adobe Flash Uninstaller, after killing all but essential processes (to make sure nothing had Flash open).  Then I reinstalled the latest version available today (10 Feb 2011).  Both the ActiveX component for IE8, and the Firefox version, still bring about a system lockup.
    The only, and I mean ONLY thing that ever crashes this computer is playing Flash videos, usually from CNN.
    It does not matter if I am viewing in IE8 or the latest version of Firefox.  Result is exactly the same, on exactly the same videos, regardless of browser.
    If this is truly a device driver issue, then it is ONLY triggered by Flash.  I'm a very busy telecommuter who spends as much as 10-12 hours a day on this machine for both work and recreation.  No other software of any kind causes this PC to lock up, so this is clearly a Flash-triggered problem.

    Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again
    The message, "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed," is shown when the Flash plugin stops working unexpectedly. Reloading the page will often get the video, game or animation to play again.
    If the Flash plugin continues to crash, updating to the latest version of Flash should fix the issue. This article explains how to update Flash and other possible solutions.
    Plugin crash notification Fx21
    Update Flash
    The latest version of the Flash plugin should perform better and crash less often. To check if Flash is up to date, visit Mozilla's Plugin Check page. If it says that Flash needs to be updated, install the latest version manually using the steps below.
    Go to Adobe's Flash Player download page and download the Flash installer.
    Caution: Adobe's download page may include a checkbox for optional software (such as Google Chrome or McAfee Security Scan) that is selected by default. If you do not clear the checkbox before downloading, that software will be installed on your computer when you open the Flash installer.
    When the download has finished, close Firefox.
    Click the menu button New Fx Menu and then click Exit Close 29
    Open the Flash installer file you downloaded and follow the instructions.
    Note: If you are having problems with the Flash installer from Adobe's download page, you can use this Flash Player installer link to directly download the full installer.
    Disable hardware acceleration in Flash
    Many Flash problems can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings (Adobe's Flash Player Help - Display Settings page has details). To disable hardware acceleration in Flash:
    Go to this Adobe Flash Player Help page.
    Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page, then click on Settings in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel.
    Remove the check mark from Enable hardware acceleration.

    Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems
    The Adobe Flash Player browser plugin lets you view video and animated content in Firefox. This article has information about testing, updating, uninstalling and troubleshooting the Adobe Flash plugin.
    Note: The Firefox Software Update feature does not update installed plugins. See the Adobe Security bulletins and advisories page for information about security and stability issues affecting Adobe Flash Player and other Adobe products.
    Testing Flash
    Visit Adobe's Test Page to see if the Flash plugin is installed and working properly. If it tells you that Flash is not installed, follow the instructions in the Updating Flash section below to install the Flash plugin.
    Updating Flash
    The Flash plugin automatically updates itself by default. If Mozilla's Plugin Check page says that Flash is outdated and you don't want to wait for the automatic update, you can update Flash manually by downloading and installing the latest version from Adobe.
    Go to Adobe's Flash Player download page and download the Flash installer.
    Caution: Adobe's download page may include a checkbox for optional software (such as Google Chrome or McAfee Security Scan) that is selected by default. If you do not clear the checkbox before downloading, that software will be installed on your computer when you open the Flash installer.
    When the download has finished, close Firefox.
    Click the menu button New Fx Menu and then click Exit Close 29
    Open the Flash installer file you downloaded and follow the instructions.
    Note: If you are having problems with the Flash installer from Adobe's download page, you can use this Flash Player installer link to directly download the full installer.
    Uninstalling Flash
    For instructions on uninstalling Flash, see Adobe's help page, Uninstall Flash Player - Windows
    Note: Running Adobe's uninstaller will remove Flash from all browsers where it is not built-in, including Internet Explorer. You will be prompted to reinstall Flash when you visit a page that requires it, such as Adobe's Test Page.
    Troubleshooting
    Flash plugin not working
    If Adobe's Test Page does not show that Flash is working even though you have installed the latest version, your Flash plugin may be disabled. To make sure that Flash is enabled,
    Click the menu button New Fx Menu and choose Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
    In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Plugins panel.
    If the Flash plugin is disabled, select Always Activate in its drop-down menu.
    Flash works in Internet Explorer or Chrome but not in Firefox
    There are three different types of Flash Players: an ActiveX version for Internet Explorer, a Chrome version built-in the browser and a plugin version for Firefox and some other browsers. If you want Flash to work in Firefox you must install the plugin version, as explained above.
    The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed
    If you see this message instead of Flash content, see Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again.
    Unresponsive plugin warning
    Firefox will show you a warning dialog if the Flash plugin is taking longer then expected:
    warning-unresponsive-plugin
    See the article Warning Unresponsive plugin - What it means and how to fix it for solutions and workarounds.
    Cannot view full screen Flash videos
    See Flash videos won't play full screen.
    Playing Flash videos makes Firefox hang
    If Firefox stops responding or if the Flash plugin hangs or stops working when playing Flash videos or games, try these solutions:
    Pause or stop Flash in other tabs. You may need to close those tabs.
    Update Flash. See the Updating Flash section above for instructions.
    Disable hardware acceleration in Flash using these steps:
    Go to this Adobe Flash Player Help page.
    Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page, then click on Settings in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel.
    Remove the check mark from Enable hardware acceleration.
    fpSettings1.PNG
    Click Close to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    Restart Firefox.
    Update your graphics drivers. See Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL for details.
    Other Flash problems and solutions
    Your Flash issue could be caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration in Firefox. See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems to narrow down the cause.
    Other solutions for general audio and video problems are listed in the Fix common audio and video issues article.
    If Flash content does not work, acts strangely, causes errors, or if you see a notice that you need to update Flash (for instance, at Mozilla's Plugin Check) even after installing the latest Flash version, uninstall and reinstall Flash.

  • Adobe Flash Player keep crashing my computer

    Starting several months ago, watching any videos which utilized Adobe Flash started to crash my computer fairly often.  I would say my computer has about a 50% chance of crashing every time I watch a video.  Sometimes I can watch 5 videos in a row and other times the video will barely start and my computer will crash.  I have tried updating my graphics card driver and making sure I have the latest version of flash player.  Does anyone know what might be happening?
    System Specs:
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU(Q9550)
    Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GTS 250
    RAM: 4GB DDR2
    Motherboard: GA-EP45-UD3P

    Sorry this is happening on your system.  What OS and browser are you using?  A couple of things to try, first disable hardware acceleration to see if that makes an impact.
    If it does, then we're probably dealing with a driver issue.  Post back with your system's dxdiag report and we'll take a look.  If it doesn't help, the next step would be to try going back to a previous version of the Player to figure out when this started occurring.
    How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?

  • [BUG] Flash plug-in crash with large images, sometimes

    Hello,
    I've been working with using Pixel Bender shaders in Flash and have encountered plugin / browser crashes when using shaders on large images, but only on certain machines.
    I've been unable to reproduce the crash on any machine I have physical access to, but was able to determine that it was caused by executing a shader on an image over 1028x1028 in size.  I created a test Flash file (http://www.saltgames.com/?page_id=283) that runs a simple shader on gradually increasing image sizes.  On most machines it will run fine, but on a few the Flash plugin (and possibly browser too, depending on the broswer) will lock up once it tries to render the 1500x1500 sized image.
    One user reported that although it crashed when using Firefox or Chrome, in Internet Explorer on the same machine it was fine.  I haven't been able to see a common feature in the set-ups that suffer this crash.
    I had approximately 50 people test a Flash game that featured shaders operating on large images, and 4 reported a crash.  Changing it to only run shaders on smaller image sizes seems to have fixed the crashes.

  • Adobe Flash CS5.5 Crashes while drawing/dragging objects.

    I have experienced quite a few crashes trying out Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5 Premium when it comes to using Flash Professional CS5.5. I have documented one of the crashes at a pastebin entry, which I will link it and an earlier crash log dump below.
    Here's how the crash occurs on my iMac (27-inch, Mid-2011 with AMD 1GB Dedicated Graphics):
    1.) Create either a Flash Document - AS 2.0 or AS 3.0 does not matter, though using 3.0 makes it crash faster I've noticed.
    2.) Draw shapes. After a while of drawing shapes and making them into groups/objects/symbols...
    3.) Drag the shapes around, eventually performance starts to drop over time.
    4.) After a while, Flash will freeze and crash, complete with the beach-ball spinning.
    The most recent crash:
    http://pastebin.com/YCWKAbhp
    There is my pastebin of my latest crash, using an Adobe Flash document using ActionScript 2.0.
    Alternatively, sometimes Flash CS5.5 will crash using ActionScript 3.0 as the language of choice, and oddly much quicker. One of those crashes can be found here: http://pastebin.com/pTSerErw
    The irony in both cases is I don't primarily use Flash Professional CS5.5 for programming or scripting at all. I use it for basic vector artwork for an array of projects. Thus, I don't use AS3.0 with this program.
    Here's what I have done so far to try to remedy this:
    I have updated the Apple JRE/JDK for Mac OS X Lion to the latest revision. I also have cleared out the JRE/JDKs and have started from scratch, to clear out any possible mistakes in installation. I know Java seems to be part of the Flash complilation process, oddly enough
    Use ActionScript 2.0 documents helps keep crashes down, oddly. Yet they still happen eventually
    Booted into Safe Mode to try to fix permissions and such. No dice
    Repaired permissions manually using Disk Utility. No dice
    Edited my jvm.ini file on my install to have no memory constraints, instead defaulting to the ones I have manually set for my JRE/JDKs. Specifically for my Java 64-bit JRE/JDK: -Xmx2048m -Xms512m -Xss2048m -d64 using the Java Preferences application in /Application/Utilities/
    I have also monitored the console for any activity aside crashes. No dice
    Trashed my Preferences and Application Support files
    Deleted/Fixed corrupt or duplicate fonts - I did find some duplicates due to Microsoft Office 2011
    I also have sought out other errors here on the Adobe Forums/Community. While similar, they are usually for more complicated projects, while mine is simply drawing and copy/pasting stuff seems to be a problem.
    In short, I've done my research and still haven't been able to fix it
    Oddly enough, most of the time no corruption has been reported due to this. In fact, I usually just have to restart Flash, save often, and if it crashes, repeat until my project is done. I also don't use auto recovery because it actually makes things more confusing and I admittedly don't trust it.
    Also, I usually have Flash Professional running, as well as Adium (IM client), Safari, and iTunes. Usually no other programs are running outside background programs or menu bar items.
    Does anyone have insight, solutions or possible pointers on how to fix this? It's more of an annoyance - but this is painful since I spent good money on this product. I hope CS6 improves this with full 64-bit support and better memory management.

    Hi,
    I am not sure if this is a "Master Page since we use a French version (the functionnality is  named "Gabarit" in French), so here is a printscreen which shows what our users try to do:
    Immediately after the drop is completed, InDesign shuts down without further notice as described before.
    I fully patched one machine to 7.5.3, rebooted it and it still does not work.
    I know 2 GB is a little bit short, but since this is currently a corporate standard in my customer's organization, I will need to be sure that this is the direct and only cause before any upgrade request can be made.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Flash Player 13 crashes with Mac OS X 10.6.8

    Any version of Flash Player 13 crashes on activation.
    Installing FP 12 as suggested allows Flash Player to work, but FF 28 plugin check complains "Out of Date" plugin. Update.
    How serious is the security issue of running this older version of Flash Player?
    (How serious is tricking the Java Installer to ignore the >OS 10.7.2 restriction?)
    Thanks.

    Adobe is aware of this problem. Unfortunately, in order to make both Firefox and Safari happy, you probably do have to use Firefox 12. This thread has more info and links:

  • Browser Crash Interacting With Spry Menu

    I created a simple site for our company with a spry
    horizontal menu. It works fine when I view it with my machine or
    from home. But some people here at work and some customers report
    their browser crashing when they use the menu.
    Our Site Link
    I have had reports of it not working woth mozilla and safari
    as well... please help...

    I've never used Spry, so take this with a huge grain of salt.. looking at your html, I am kinda wondering how come the 2nd level of the nested list items making up your submenu items arent assigned a different css style - and therefore is your css file setup to handle this change in orientation properly..
    You got a class=MenuBarSubItem" on your Championship History, but theres nothing in your html (other than the nested ul within #Menubar1) to indicate that Heavyweight, Cruiserweight, etc. are 2nd Level MenuItems which should be using a different css style.. therefore it would be up to your CSS to handle this change in how these 2nd level sub menu items gets displayed.. looks like this isn't happening for MSIE, as MSIE keeps floating your 2nd level/submenu items horizontally instead of stringing them up vertically.. You may be missing a style rule in your css, but how come FF gets it right?
    If I were to recreate this menu myself, I would assign a new css class to make sure my submenu items dont end up floated next to each other.. But then again, i have no clue about Spry, so I might just be rambling nonsense here...

  • Flash 10.1 Crashes in ALL Browsers

    I have had this problem for a few hours and I am frustrated that it won't resolve. I have tried the following:
    Uninstalling and Reinstalling Flash (5 times)
    Uninstalling and Reinstalling Browsers - Chrome, Firefox
    Deleting the %winroot%/Sys64WOW/Macromed/Flash directory
    Using the Flash uninstaller
    Updating my graphics driver
    Running CCleaner and deleting all temp. files (Fixed the problem for about 10 mins)
    I have tried just about everything I can think of and nothing has worked period. I could watch videos for about 10 mins then it went back to crashing on load. The whole browser crashes once I load even a youtube video.

    I have almost the same problem, but using it on a via C3 based CPU  (Samual 2 family) and windows XP Pro with Service Pack 3 (32 bit).
    The flash plug-in fails to load on most cases (for example, Yahoo web messenger, youtube and some offline swf files) on Firefox 3.6.8 and Opera 10.60. Flash player 9 also has these problems but curiously 10.0.45 version works partially (runs too slow and decreases performance of my PC).
