Flash player 11.6 r602 memory leak and crash in FF 19.0

I have seen similar questions like this but have never witnessed it myself until today when Flash updated on FF 19.0. I'd like to see if this is Firefox or Adobe as the later is quick to say "this is normal".
I watch two streams (uStream and live.twit.tv) almost all the time that use flash on both sites. Usually it caps out at around 250MB and worked just fine this morning on uStream and is stable. Just got the Flash 11.6 update and neither currently work and will lock-up Firefox and eventually crash Adobe, which then frees up Firefox to allow me to use it again. It slowly creeps up to 1.9G before Adobe crashes.
I have tried, as suggested elsewhere on a very similar issue, to roll back to Adobe 10, add "ProtectedMode = 0" to the mms.cfg file in the macromed folders, and disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox options. This allowed Firefox to play flash media, but only after it as reached 2.8G of memory on an 8G physical memory machine (Adobe claims 10% is normal, which this is far beyond 10% of 8G)
I'd be quicker to blame Adobe on this, but I just got Firefox 19 the past 7 days, Adobe had always worked on Firefox before this update, but now even rolling back doesn't seem to work well at all. I'm not sure how to post my reports from about:crashes here, but...
bp-492ad7e0-2bf8-46cb-b558-596252130228 2/27/20134:01 PM
...is my latest (Eleven reports today). I have screenshots of both Adobe v10 and v11 leaking memory, but don't feel it's useful at this time.
Any help would be awesome and if it's not Firefox at all I guess I'll head back to Adobe with some more meat and potatoes for a more thorough support ticket over there. I just don't like having to use Chrome since it seems to work just fine on these pages ;)

Thanks for your prompt and helpful reply.....
When dealing with such a large problem with frequent FF lockups the temptation is to lump all information in an attempt to solve. LOL
Chasing multiple threads to help solve the problem may be helpful to the developers but it takes far too much time following and posting in each thread. As you can see it's taken a couple of days to get back to this post.
First thing we did is dump cache and cookies both through the interface and then manually in the profile. We changed the version of Flash installed manually and even changed the version of FF. There are many "flash" enabled pages we encountered which caused the lockup.....so MSN is not specifically the issue.
But when Flash is removed or disabled the browser no longer locks up.....suffice to say we get an error when visiting a website with flash content on it.
That is why I chose to post here as the problem is directly attributable to Flash in FF on all of our machines.

How to solve problem related to svchost and Adobe flash player 11.6 r602 failing to work?

Hi...
I have been consistently facing a serious problem regarding the firefox I use. It's Firefox 20.0.1. I use Windows 7 and I have 8 gb of Ram.
The problem is after I launch Firefox two dialogue boxes appear in quick succession one telling that "svchost.exe has stopped working" and another is telling about "Adobe Flash Player 11.6 r602 has stopped working". The firefox immediately stops working and I have to use the task manager to close the program...even resort to restart the computer sometimes.
Please tell me solution applying which I can get out of this problem.
Thanks
Sam

Try updating to Flash 11.7, then Reset Firefox [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

Volume problems with Adobe Flash Player 11.6 r602

Hello,
Whenever I used to watch Youtube or other video through Firefox, my volume would remain at whatever volume I had set for Firefox in my Volume Mixer. The last few iterations of Firefix (currently 17.0.1), however, have seen a new item, "Adobe Flash Player 11.6 r602" appear in my Volume Mixer whenever I go to Youtube or any other audio/visual element within Firefox, and it always starts at maximum volume, and even when I manually open my Volume Mixer to turn it down, sometimes opening a new tab/window causes the volume to "reset" back to maximum again.
This has gone from being a nuissance into a real annoyance, and I am seeking help trying to figure out what's going on and how I can stop it. Thanks very much in advance for any help that can be provided.
Note - this problem also happened with 11.5 r502, but the thread I was directed to, to report it, has apparently been removed from Adobe's site.

Nothing has been removed...

Flash Player 11.6 r602 annoying boop sound

Flash Player is giving off a "booping" sound every 6 to 10 seconds it's utterly annoying. I already tried a reinstallation but to no avail. What could that be and how do i shut it off?
The Volume Meter in Windows 7 Ultimate x64 shows it as Flash Player 11.6 r602 and i have the latest version installed.
I'm using Firefox v20.0 x64 If there's any additional information that is needed i will try to provide it.
I have no idea what's causing it to do this sound and recording it would be a pretty hefty piece of work i think^^ so please bear with it...

There is another thread here, Hazuzi.

i dont use google chrome,

For the past week, I am unable to view videos. The page comes up with this comment: "Blocked plug-in" and it suggests that I download the latest version of Flash player. I have downloaded that and still get the same comment. Please help.

I have an iMac11.2 and am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I have not had a problem viewing videos until the past week or so. Now I cannot view videos on my news, facebook or in email messages at all. A message pops up in the window that says "Blocked plug-in". I have downloaded the latest version of Flash Player for which it asks and still no luck. Can anyone here help me with this? Thank you. Grace

Flash Player 11.3 Installer Keeps Loading and Trying To Install Itself - Cannot Get It To Stop!!

Because of all of the problems that I have been experiencing with the Flash Player 11.3, I uninstalled it and downgraded to 11.1, which seems to be a more stable version. I used the uninstaller as recommended by Firefox and then grabbed the 11.1 version off of the Adobe website.
All went well until I started getting the 11.3 installer loading itself about every 3 minutes. You can almost time it to the minute. It really sucks.
I have gone in and tried turning off automatic updates in the global settings and the one that you can do online in the settings manager at: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.htm l
Despite my best efforts, it keeps coming up and loading the 9mb install and then goes to the 11.3 screen where you accept the terms and conditions.
This comes up...
Then it goes to this:
I would like this to stop. Thus far, the only way to stop it is to upgrade to that version. I have tried uninstalling everything and it still comes back.
I tried deleting the temp files it creates on my hard drive. I found 622 instances of the files it keeps loading.
I am REALLY tired of this and would like to have it stop.
Any suggestions??????????????

Here is part of the log. I deleted a bunch of the duplicate entries as they were basically the exact same with the only thing changing being the time stamps. In answer to both Chris's question, here is the log. In answer to Pat, the files that are running or that are attempting to run are the ones mentioned in this log, the installer (FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER.exe) and InstallFlashPlayer.exe. Those are the only two running that I can see. I have been keeping a close eye on that, thinking that maybe something else is initiating it. Nothing that I see anyhow.
I am almost to the point of uninstalling Firefox and starting over. I'd hate to do it because of the pain that goes with starting it over again and getting the extensions and add-ons again... However, the flip side to that is dealing with this whole thing.
I have to say, the current version of Flash REALLY REALLY wants me to install it.
If you need the whole log, I put it up at: Install Log
Let me know your thoughts. I am usually pretty good at solving things like this. This one has me puzzled.
Thanks

I can't download Adobe Flash Player? It gets to 50% and fails, saying I must close 'Safari'. Safari is no open, yet it gets stuck repeatedly on this?
This is my first Mac and I'm not convinced of them.....nah, I just need a shove in the right direction.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Is this a problem with the DOWNLOAD or with the INSTALLATION? You should be able to download with Safari open but you do have to quit Safari in able to install. Try downloading the dmg file, restart with no apps open and then trying to install Flash Player.

I have a mac os 10.4.11 with flash Player Version 10.3.183.75 and can't open Adobe Flash documents.

I have a mac os 10.4.11 with flash Player Version 10.3.183.75 and can't open Adobe Flash documents. When I try to open a document, it says "A newer version of the software is already installed on this system". How do I install the correct system that will allow me to open the documents. The documents are XLS

Apps that support flash player. I've tried Photon and Atomic browser apps....no luck. Thanks

Can anyone please help with finding a reliable app that supports flash player. I have tried Photon and Atomic and neither worked with my on line college course. Thanks for any help.

Skyfire, Photon, iSwifter and Puffin Web Browser will provide limited Flash capability?
Atomic Web Browser is not Flash-enabled.

After installing Flash Player, I lost sound on Youtube and other sites. How do I fix it?

After installing Flash Player, I lost sound on Youtube and other sites. How do I fix it? I still have sound on some apps.

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating   system
Browser
Flash   Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
HTML5   video
Non-HTML5 video
Thanks,
