Flash Player 10 incompatible with Firefox/Chrome

I am seeing this issue listed in forums all over the net, yet not here. (May just be that I'm sick of looking now.) Plain and simple: Something in the Adobe Flash Player causes the browsers, and in most cases the computer, to lock up. On this forum, I am seeing the problem listed repeatedly with IE8. 8 is, thus far, the only browser I am not getting the freeze up with. This happens on both Vista and Windows 7. I have both. I am currently using Firefox 3.6.3. I have both AMD and Intel based systems. There is a lot of blaming of the sites requiring flash, or the 64 bit OS. It is a problem in this program. Maybe it's trying to take over too many resources, or maybe it is exhibiting virus behaviors blocked by the UAC. In either case, it is FP10. If Adobe cannot/does not support 64 bit OS, then Adobe has a problem. You want to stay in the lead of technology, not the backend. So FIX IT.
I'm sick of messing with it. Your steps and "fixes" don't work. It's all through here. Identify the code problems and straighten them out. Quit pointing the blame. Everything about this company is becoming shoddy. Remember what happened to HP in the 90's when they went to trading on their name only? How about Dell? How about the numerous software companies bought up, some by Adobe? This worked when it was Macromedia. So man up and fix it instead of dodging.

What's (likely) happening is that the HTML wrapper around the .swf isn't behaving... which causes Flash Player version detection to fail. Hit this test page at youtube - you should see an embedded movie with Flash Player version information.

You may find success by following the instructions in this tech-note for a complete uninstall... then re-install the latest FP.

In general, when desktop software is using Flash Player, it's because they're embedding an Internet Explorer window in the application. If you don't have Flash Player for Internet Explorer (aka. the ActiveX Flash Player) installed, then the desktop application isn't going to work.
So, fire up Internet Explorer
Go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Follow the prompts, and then re-launch the application after you've completed the installation in IE. Hopefully that sorts it out for you.

Flash player lags bad with Firefox but not with google chrome,what is the problem ?

Every time i try to play any game using flash player with Firefox i have a lot of lag time. I have to stop playing and wait for things to catch up to play to play any more,I do not have this problem with google chrome playing the same games.I have updated all add ons and plugins.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a month ago

Everyone can blame flash player if they want, but the truth is for me I went from an earlier version that had plugin container which created lag for me. I disabled the plugin container in about:config settings, and firefox worked fine. Plugin container screwed up any videos i tried to watch on the internet by freezing, lagging, and crashing firefox. I was fine after I disabled plugin container, but then eventually some time later down the road I received a warning that i would soon be forced to update my mozilla so I eventually/reluctantly gave in and complied. At this point the same problems started again!!! I disabled plugin container again and it did help a bit right away. But this version 12.0 even with plugin container disabled with just a few tabs open I receive choppy video (like a snapshot of the video at 3 seconds in, and then another snap at 6 seconds in) I'm only seeing snapshots of the video like every 3 seconds while the audio continues on fine. That"s how bad the lag is. This is horrible performance for a browser. If I try to load a video while one is already playing, just that little bit of stress (2 youtube videos open at once) is all it takes to crash this poor performing version of firefox. I mean I can't even close the tabs after these situations and the audio sometime runs after closing for me as well. These problems did not start until the version changes of firefox and the addition of plugin container, not flash player. I have been a loyal mozilla fan, but my patients is wearing so so thin with the performance of this browser at the moment. Unfortunately I just realized for the first time ever I actually have to (against my will) install another browser just to watch videos. How sad is that? Considering watching videos is one of the main uses of a browser, I consider this version a failure. How could I not??? I guess I have no choice but to Chrome it up. I hope a fix for this problem can be found soon for I miss the great performing days of this previously top performing browser. Fingers Crossed!!!

Flash player not working with Firefox 5

Hi all:
I have been having problems with my Firefox 5 (also was happening with 4) and the Flash Player (newest and previous versions also). Basically, whenever I open a page with flash content, Firefox gets frozen and "not responding" appears on the top bar.After some time, it comes back
I've tried reinstalling Firefox and Flash Player (also formatting laptop - Windows 7) and this is still happening.
Any ideas?
Thanks
W.

You might as well stop wasting your time. The problem seems to be centered around FireFox (since Adobe Flash seems to work fine with IE and Chrome). After FireFox begin running Flash as a separate process, it no longer retains preset volume settings for Flash, instead, each new FireFox window resets it to max volume. As a result, several times I've had my ears blasted (this can lead to hearing loss and/or damaged audio equipment). This only happens with newer versions of Flash. Consequently, I no longer use the latest versions in FireFox. I'm thinking about totally dropping FireFox and moving completely to Chrome. Looks like neither Adobe or FireFox are gonna budge to fix the problem.

Adobe Flash Player 10 works with Firefox but not with IE8???

Hi Gang: I need help, I have downloaded adobe flash player 10, enable my javascript in IE8, but when I attempt to run youtube videos, I get the error message, javascript need to be enable or you need to download a newer version of adobe flash player. I then opened Firefox instead then run the same youtube videos and everything is perfectly fine. Why can't I run youtube videos in IE8 with the adobe flash player 10? What is the fix?
Thanks

Why doesn't Adobe Flash Player 11 work with Firefox 7

Firefox 7.0.1 does not recognize that Adobe Flash 11 is installed. it works with Safari, not Firefox

Matt,
You have to run Firefox in 32-bit mode in order for it to run Adobe Flash Player 11 on Firefox 7.0.1 on Snow Leopard.
Mac: Get Info (Command+I) on Firefox icon and click box run in 32-bit mode. I think its shoddy Mozzilla support and really lame that they didn't post this.

Flash player doesnt work with firefox no matter what i try to do.Have windows xp.It does work if i use to internet explorer.Dont know what else to do.Need help

Cant get Flashplayer to work with firefox

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash player; one for IE (ActiveX) and one for most other browsers including Firefox (Plugin). You do not appear to have Flash installed for Firefox (Plugin) on the system used to report your question (click "More system details" to the right of your original question, "Shockwave Flash" is not listed). You can check in your Firefox Add-ons > Plugins to see if "Shockwave Flash" is listed but disabled. When updating Flash on a Windows system with IE installed, you should always update both.
Download (for your OS and browsers), save, close all browsers, run the installers that you just downloaded from the following page:

Why does my flash player always crash with Firefox?

Flash player always crashes and slows my browsing. Firefox is updated and so is flash player yet never works.

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers<br>https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Why does Flash Player not work with Firefox 16?

I am posting this question on behalf of wdanh, whose comment on Adobe Flash Professional FAQs was deleted.

what is the exact issue? flash content not loading or plugin not initializing or other? post platform information also. thanks...

How do I allow Flash Player to communicate with Internet-enabled locations?

Ok, so I'm trying to build a website using Dreamweaver CS6 and I wish to place a flash object in the site (a .swf file).
I go through all the normal ways to do it, whether it be by manually placing it in, or using the Insert > Media > SWF.
Now the main issue with this is the expressInstall.swf script it chucks out.
Whenever I try to preview the webpage in a browser such as Firefox or Chrome, it immediatly decides to stop the flash under the pretense of it being an unsafe operation by trying to communicate with an Internet-enabled location (that location being fpdownload.macromedia.com)
Now, regardless of whether I delete ths parameter or not, the error message always appears, so I believe this is a Flash Player error. I currently have the newest version. Also something I noticed is when I publish preview my flash objects into a flash format, that they open themselves in a html browser rather than a Flash Player program.
So does anyone know how to allow Flash Player to communicate with internet-enabled locations?

Would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums? This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience.
Thanks,
Chris

Why does flash player not work with facebook?

Why does flash player not work with fcebook? Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player. When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one. I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows. I don't know anything else.

This means you don't have the latest version installed. Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

OK it's now fast............but for me that's all at present. I tried all browsers, ended with firefox & chrome, preferred firefox but it is updated badly too m

OK it's now fast............but for me that's all at present.
I tried all browsers, ended with firefox & chrome, preferred firefox but it is updated badly too many times causing me to have to re-install on many occasions, very time consuming.
The last update also hanged my PC resolution viewing type, it became even more blurred on every program on my PC.
The previous version was acceptable. I now intend to use chrome more often & maybe uninstall firefox for good.
?security updates, are these likely to affect my PC performance in any way?

So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use." I uninstalled it and followed all the suggestions on the websites nothing is working.

Why is Norton 360 toolbar disabled and incompatible with Firefox?

I recently switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox 26 - I have the most recent updates for both products, but my Norton toolbar will not enable - the add-on extension states it is incompatible with Firefox, even though the Norton site claims it is compatible. The Norton Vulnerability Protection was also disabled, but after checking for updates in the toolbox, it was enabled. Is my Norton working while browsing in Firefox, and when will my Norton toolbar be available?

Norton just released information that they will support FF 27.
http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-27-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/1089865 <br />
I have been struggling with upgrading to FF 27 to get the Norton Toolbar. But I am not wild about the awesome toolbar. But it is better than Google Chrome and IE 9. I have Windows Vista.
