Flash Player 9.x and 10.x crashes Mozilla Firefox 5.x and 6.x
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit with 8GB of RAM and plenty of hard drive space.
I've been unable to visit any Web site with Mozila Firefox 5.x and now 6.x that has Flash content. Previously I had Flash Player 9.x and it was updated on August 13, 2011 to version 10.3.183.5.
I've manually disabled ALL plugins and determined that if I enable only the Shockwave Flash 10.3.183.5 plugin and visit a site that uses Flash content, such as http://www.native-instruments.com, Firefox will instantly crash and present me with the Mozilla Crash Reporter.
I do not have this issue with Internet Explorer 9.x or Google Chrome 13.x.
Other than the long, involved procedure involving the Backdoor.Ulrbot.C virus that Mozilla Support describes, are there any other suggetions you might have.
Thanks very much.
Well, according to http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode,
You can elect to make the following changes:
Disable all add-ons: If you select this box and then click Make Changes and Restart then Firefox will start back up in its normal mode, except all your extensions, themes, and plugins will be disabled (not uninstalled).
So how can Flash Player plugin run in Firefox Safe Mode if it's a plugin and it's disabled?
I've already determined that Flash Player is the problem by having it as the only add-on (plugin) that's enabled. All other extensions and plugins except for Firefox are disabled. My theme is the default one.
The site I visit doesn't matter, if it has Flash content on the page I'm visiting Firefox instantly crashes.

How to find out WHY Flash Player 11.2.202.236 plugins crash in Firefox ESR 10.0.6 on 64-bit Linux
Flash crashes dozens of times a day and I am trying to figure out WHY.
I have the recommended latest player & browser for my operating system.
The only diagnostic information I have is that the crashes seem to occur when a few tabs are open with videos loading in them and when any one video is closed, flash then locks up the browser for about 30 seconds, and then ALL the videos that were loading in separate tabs are dumped & say that the plugin crashed.
Details about the system from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
1. Flash player version: 11.2.202.236
2. Operating System: Linux 2.6.32-279.2.1.el6.x86_64 (64-bit)
3. Browser: Firefox Firefox ESR 10.0.6
This is the correct set of components.
Debugging, I've modified the about:config dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs to any value of 10 seconds to 45 seconds (the default), but it doesn't seem to make a difference in the number of crashes.
Any idea how to get more diagnostic information?Unfortunately, there's nothing in "/var/crash" after the numerous flash crashes so I'm not sure where to look next.
The 'dmesg' command reports:
npviewer.bin[16884]: segfault at 340 ip 00007f26bda22ab0 sp 00007fffa8abbe78 error 6 in libflashplayer.so[7f26bd68d000+1179000]
Bringing up the CentOS 6 "Applications->System Tools->System Monitor", I see the numerous Flash crashes appear to have some relationship with "npviewer.bin", which uses the "/usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so" shared object module and which has numerous "open files", one of which is "/home/<username>/.xsession-errors".
Looking at "/home/<username>/.xsession-errors", we find these lines, which may be useful.
Here are some excerpted errors & warnings:
*** NSPlugin Viewer *** WARNING: unhandled variable 18 (<unknown variable>) in NPN_GetValue()

This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 857 error_code 8 request_code 140 minor_code 3)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
aborting...

Cannot install Flash Player plug-in on Windows Vista through Mozilla Firefox
I own a Windows Vista basic version laptop and am currently browsing with Mozilla Firefox. Everytime I try to install the missing plug-in for Adobe Flash Player (the lego image) on the Flash Player homepage it pops up as Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and I agree to the terms of use and click "Install" but then I am asked what I want to open the file with and I don't know what file it is associated with on my computer (My computer often has this problem with .exe files though) . If I close the "Open With" box the installation says failed and gives me an option to "manual install, but when I go to the Adobe Flash Player site (with all other browser windows closed of course), and click "agree and download" a small box with a loading green bar pops up titled "Installing Adobe Download Manager" and stays there for about 2 minutes but nothing ever happens when I am redirected to the "Thank You" page afterwards, no dialog box w/ run or save ever pops up. I have added "get.adobe.com" to my allowed installation add-ons and pop-ups are also allowed on this page but nothing happens. I appreciate any input for my problem...Thanks
~aHi, thanks for the update of info. In that case I would download this Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer to your
Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe When this window opens, SAVE it to your Desktop.
Before Running, Close all browsers, disable any applications that use Flash(check system tray-area of clock), make sure
in Internet Explorer>Internet Options that Security is set to Medium for the Internet Zone.
Now your Anti=Virus/Firewall can block the Install of the Flash Player ActiveX Control that must be installed. You may want to Disable those also. Windows Firewall is ok, no need to Disable it.
After Installing, make sure to Reboot(restart) your computer. Then go to this test site:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
Then using IE, go to Tools>Manage Add ons and check All add ons for Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control..Flash10e.ocx(version 10.0.45.2) and make sure it is listed and Enabled.
If you have any questions or comments prior to beginning, just post back.
Thanks,

repeatedly get the above message - mozilla firefox not responding - happens on no particular website - often happens on my aol home page. i would like a simple, easy to understand explanation or solution.
also, often get this message - Problem Loading Page. problem appears to be with firefox as i can access the sites through my mobile device.
and one other problem - a site i could accesss but was not allowed to register - after thinking i must be out of my mind going round and round in circles - i called the site's 800 number and was told there is always a problem registering using mozilla firefox. so what did i do, i registered on my mobile.
i don't think any of this should be happening.
please help and/or advise. thanks.Clear out the cache memory.

When I try to watch any video clip I get this:
The version of “Adobe Flash Player” on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been blocked. To continue using “Adobe Flash Player”, download an updated version from Adobe’s website.
I tried clicking on the Adobe Flash Player. It said it accepted it but it did not make a difference.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!This did not work

The version of “Adobe Flash Player” on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been blocked. To continue using “Adobe Flash Player”, download an updated version from Adobe’s website.
You haven't actually asked a question, but as stated you should only download Flash Player directy from Adobe.
Nor have you said what version of OS X and Safari you are running.
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe. -

i have updated version of Mozilla Firefox 25.0 And adobe flash Player also latest version but every time adobe crush what to do
This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
(1) If you have any recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media make sure they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista and higher)
See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
Any luck? -

Why am I having trouble running Adobe Flash Player 11 on my 2011 Macbook Air? I've downloaded and installed it repeatedly; yet when I try to open certain images online or play certain Youtube segments, I get the message, "You must have Adobe Flash 11..." My computer tells me it is installed and running.
If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
1. If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
2. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
3. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
4. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
5. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
6. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
7. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane. -
Flash Plug in is crashing after recent upgrade. I tried uninstalling, and reinstalling, still crashing. Firefox and Plug-in are current. What else can I do?
What I suggest you do here is to use Adobe's uninstaller tool to uninstall Flash first of all: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then reboot, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and reinstall it.
I notice too that you have an outdated version of Shockwave For Director. You can update that via http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
