Flash Player causes browsers crash.

Hi, I'm sorry for my bad English. I have a problem with my Mac. *After the upgrade from 10.6 to 10.6.6*, using *all browsers* I can't view webpages with Flash content because *the browsers crash*. The problem is due to the *Flash Player* software. I tried to install the latest version of the browsers and Flash Player, but the problem isn't resolved. Can you help me to fix this problem? Thank you.

Uninstall Flash using the appropriate uninstaller for whichever version of Flash you have installed. Then do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Download the 10.6.6 Combo Updater and reinstall it.
If this doesn't fix the problem then you will have to reinstall Snow Leopard using the installer DVD. This *will not* erase your drive or your files.

Hey.
I have the same issue, suddenly all my browsers crash if Flash Player is embeded in the site. The issue started before I updated to 10.6.4 and the updating did not fix it. I'm a Flash developer, so I tried a lot of things to fix the issue like:
- reinstalling Firefox
- installing Chrome
- reinstalling Flash 10.1 ( uninstall/install)
- uninstall Firefox/Flash, Repair Permissions, install Firefox/Flash 10.1, Repair Permissions, run Firefox, still crashes
- uninstall Firefox/Flash, Repair Permissions, install Firefox/Flash Player 9, Repair Permissions, run Firefox, still crashes

Flash player causes install crash for Quick Books

Hey,
I'm using a Toshiba PW30-B laptop with Widows 8.1, gb.ram, and Explorer version 11.014. It also has a version of IE that has a completely different look than the version mentioned that I can't find a version for since all the tool bars are nor visible.
My problem is that in trying to load an older version of Quick Books the installer gets to a point where it is installing Adobe Flash player and it stops with an error message about installing Flash player. I have tried uninstalling Adobe Reader XI but can't find flash player in the new Windows start screen and only show XI when searching Adobe.
Help!!
MadJick.

Yeah, you'll probably need to upgrade to a version of Quickbooks designed to run on Windows 8.

Flash Player 10.1 crashes with IE7, IE8 & FF3.6.6

Hello! First I'd like to say you all are providing excellent information and help here. I've read some answers and am very impressed with the time you take to help Adobe product users. Maybe you can help me too! *hopes*
I have read a couple of the threads to see what I need to provide here. I hope I give all the needed information. First of all, I sound kind of like the user 'Carol' who uses Farmville/Facebook and updated to Internet Explorer 8, Flash Player 10.1 and there was another program she mentioned. Anyway, my problem is similar except FP 10.1 crashes while using FF3.6.6, IE7 or IE8. I have also reverted back to FP 9 (just to test the browsers) with same results - player crashes. I have not run my SuperAntispyware to see if a virus could be the issue - although I am suspecting it is Not since so many others are experiencing problems with FP also. My SuperAntispyware virus protection does not protect real time so there is nothing to disable regarding that. When I'm using IE I do keep Protected Mode On. If you would like me to try a game session with it Off, I can try that and provide you with the results, however FF has been my browser of choice lately, but now it is failing me too with the FP.
The sites I am having trouble with are Shockwave.com and BigSeagames.com (instead of Facebook & Farmville like Carol is/was having). There are certain games at Shockwave and BigSeas that crash consistently. Another player at BigSeas was told to not use IE, and to try FF. So I did just that. It worked for awhile, but then FP started crashing as well. I have searched FF, Microsoft and now Adobe for help with this FP problem. It consistently keeps crashing.
You can freely go to Firefox browser and type in the ID for my FF crash reports (listed below) - in the FF browser type about:crashes in address bar; on the resulting screen you can paste in the report numbers, if there is time to look at a couple. I won't include all the reports, unless you specify that you need them. Today I have had the most crashes - 12 total! I have always been an IE-girl (lol) just because I was so use to it. I don't really care what browser I use as long as it works!
Thanks for any help you can give and I look forward to hearing from someone. ~Mindy

I've had this problem with Flash Player 10.1 crashing constantly in Firefox 3.6.6 since July 4th weekend. I eventually installed version 3.6.3 and it stopped happening.
Once I installed FF version 3.6.8 this morning, the problem came back.
I tried this solution and it seems to be working so far (keep your fingers crossed!)
(from: http://www.technogadge.com/how-to-stop-firefox-plugin-container-exe-process/)
Steps to stop plugin-container.exe process:
Open Firefox web browser.
Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter key.
A warning will appear. Ignore it and press the "I’ll be careful, I promise!" button.
In the Filter field type dom.ipc. Six preferences will appear for the filter dom.ipc.
Ignore first and last preferences. Toggle (double-click) each of the four remaining preferences to change the value from "true" to "false".
That’s it. Look the screenshot.
Explanation: The crash protection feature in Firefox 3.6 is enabled for certain plugins only. The four preferences that we modified here specifies four different out-of-process plugins. They are the the NPAPI test plugin, Adobe Flash, Apple QuickTime (Windows) and Microsoft Silverlight (Windows). These plugins are specified in a separate dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.<filename> preference by default is set to true. We can disable them by changing their value to false. And thus plugin-container.exe will not run. By default the preference dom.ipc.plugins.enabled is already set to "false". So, no need to touch it. The dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs is also not important here as other values are false.

Installed and verifed but Flash Player continues to crash in Firefox. Any suggestions

Flash Player sometime activates and then crashes after a few seconds.

Thanks for responding Chris. Flash Player consistently crashes no matter what site I am in. I've tried all of the suggested fixes in Flash Player help and nothing has been successful. The computer confirms that I have downloaded the most recent file but Adobe Flash Player doesn't show in the Firfox Add Ons. I also tried Firefox flash player suggestions but none worked. It crashes no matter what page I am on. If flash player is required, it crashes. It also crashes in Internet Explorer. I am a novice so please bear with me. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Have you tried any browser other than Firefox? It would be helpful to know if these same types of crashes occur with Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.2. Did this crashing behavior just start occurring? If so, was there a particular update or event that preceded the crashing?3. Does the crashing happen consistently? Ie. If you go to the same web page that contains Flash content, does it crash every time you visit? Does it crash when you visit this page? Flash Player Help What pages does it crash on?4. Can you visit about:crashes within Firefox and submit some of the most recent crashes. Once submitted, please post back with the crash URL's.4. Can you try resetting your Firefox profile? Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
Firefox Help5. Finally, can you try temporarily disabling protected mode to see if that makes a difference (this will be the last step in the faq)? How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox? Thanks,

My Adobe Flash Player Plugin keeps crashing. Annoying

I play games from the developer Zynga and I keep getting Adobe Flash Player plugin has crashed. I downloaded Mozilla Firefox thinking that I would have more luck with it than IE. Not so far. What can I do to correct this?

Reloading the page will often get the video, game or animation to play again.
If Flash continues to crash, updating to the latest version of Flash should fix the issue.
As this has been happening to you for a long time, try this too...
Go to this Flash help page on adobe.com.
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html?promoid=ISMRY
Right-click on the box that lists your Flash player version and then click 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.
Click Close to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
Restart Firefox.

What can I do if shockwave flash player is constantly crashing on google chrome browser ?

What can I do if shockwave flash player is constantly crashing on google chrome ?

I think Google Chrome is more easy to troubleshoot. Try this:
1. Open Chrome.
2. Click the far-right Icon (Customize and control Google Chrome).
3. Select about Google Chrome. It check if Google Chrome is up to date and if not it'll get update.
4. You must wait until a GREEN check mark appear saying your Google Chrome is up to date.
5. Remember, you don't need to get Adobe Flash Player separately because Google Chrome has it own integrated Player.
6. Accept Google Chrome constant upgrade to their Chrome browser.
Wishing you Good Luck!

Flash player causes real problems on Youtube

Flash player causes real problems on Youtube site.
I don't really know if it's a Flash Player problem or a Youtube one but Youtube used to work fine back in like 3-4 months ago, now it doesn't anymore.
The issues I encounter with Flash player on Youtube are as follows:
First issue is the fact that after the video completely loads or it loads a big part of it then I click on the seek bar to jump at a specific time that has been already downloaded by the Flash player the video starts loading again from that point on like it didn't actually downloaded that part before. This issue causes big bandwith use since it downloads many many times the same portions of the clip that it has already loaded before dozens of time. If I play a 3 min music clip and click replay or point on the seek bar at the begining of the clip to play it again it loads/downloads the clip again and again and again. If the video clip has over 1 hour then I click play it might entirely load into the player in a few minutes then I click on the seek bar to skip at a certain point it starts loading again from that point on. This is the most anoying thing I encounter with Youtube lately.
Second issue is the fact that if I click on the seek bar of the player to skip to a specific time most of the time the playback does not start from that point on but it skips back to the last point where it was so I must click several times or keep the mouse button pressed for a long time on the same point in order to play from that place on. This one is again very anoying.
Third issue is that after the video starts playing in 360p it automatically changes to 720p after a minute or so even if I had checked this setting "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video" in Youtube Playback Settings. I cleared the cookies and chosed several times the same "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video" setting in Youtube Playback Settings but it just doesn't keep the settings on. This one is again very anoying since my computer can't handle well 720p.
I have reinstalled Win XP SP3 and even installed Win 7 SP1 tried several versions of Flash Player and several versions of Firefox, Chrome and Opera but the same issues occur everytime.
I haven't encounter any of these issues before like 3-4 months ago.

I have had problems trying to watch videos on youtube for the past couple of years. It's been almost unbearable, even if I set the resolution to 144kb! Then a few days ago, I went to youtube and couldn't watch at all. There was an error showing that my Flashplayer was out of date, and then a link to Firefox to get the right update. I did that two times to no avail. I had just installed the newest version of Flash Player as of November 2014, yet this error kept popping up. Finally, out of utter frustration, I did like you did, and uninstalled everything related to Adobe Flash. Then I went to youtube, just to see how bad the result would be, and suddenly videos started playing smoother, at higher resolution, and with faster buffering to start out. Sure, there are some videos that I can't play, and the newest iTunes seemed to have issues without having Flash, but videos aren't frustrating me like they had been on youtube.
So, yeah, I know what you're saying. I had the same solution work for me. Cheers.

Flash Player causes Graphic card to crash then recover successfully on two identical systems.

Hello,
Ever since the latest update with Adobe Flash Player, I've been having problems with flash in general on my computer. My brother has the same exact computer and he also has this issue. I can uninstall Flash Player and the problem stops completely and the moment I install it again, the problem persists. I've looked just about everywhere and figured I'd post it on here for a solution.
The problem:
The graphic card crashes and then recovers successfully when using Flash Player in general (happens most of the time when listening to a playlist on youtube and when the webpage is loading/changing to the next song). It also causes blue squares to appear on my monitor in random places. Flash videos become disturted and appear as blocks of fuzzy colors representing what they should really be when in full screen watching the video.
Troubleshot to conclude it was Flash Player:
I did extensive research and troubleshooting on my end, the problem started when I updated flash player with the auto-updater. I bench-marked my computer with running multiple programs and games to the maximum effort my computer could handle without flash installed (needless to say, no problem occurred). I then installed flash according to specs and ran a youtube playlist alone on Internet Explorer, the problem did occur. I then tried it with FireFox and Google Chrome, the same problem occurred.
I had my brother reformat his computer and install everything according to spec (all of his drivers are up to date as well) and the problem persisted with his end so I haven't done that, since it'd be to no avail.
I have even uninstalled Flash Player using the uninstaller executable that's supposed to remove everything from Flash Player and tried to install the version that worked prior to the update and it's as if something from Flash isn't being removed because the problem happens with the old version too as well.
Our computer specs are as follows:
Manufacturer: CyberPower, Inc.
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
Memory(RAM): 3.00GB
System Type: 64-bit Operating System
Operating System: Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
Graphic Card: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series (Actual card is ATI Radeon 4850)
If I should post something else, let me know and I will. This problem is kind of annoying to be honest so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and assistance.

Hello,
Sadly this does not fix the problem on either computer. The video still comes in distorted while watching videos and the graphic card still crashes on song change while listening to a youtube playlist. The drivers are updated on both computers. As stated, this started happening when auto-updating to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player from the system tray icon. I can't even un-install flash and revert back to the version that worked before this update since it's as if something from Flash Player doesn't get uninstalled when using the uninstaller because the problem happens on all versions of Adobe Flash Player that I've tried. Thanks for your time and assistance.

Adobe Flash Player causing IE and Chrome to crash when on ESPN

I have a 64 bit Windows 7 Sony Vaio that I just purchased. Everything seems to be working ok, except when I go to ESPN. When I have Flash Player enabled, Internet Explorer and Chrome both stop working and crash unless I leave the page. When I have uninstalled Flash player or disabled it, I do not have the problem (but I can't view Flash movies on any website). Adobe Flash Player works fine on other websites on all browsers, its just this particular website on all browsers. I think the problem is with Flash or involves a virus/malware. I have MacAfee and nothing is coming up. I read about a Host file issues in other threads but don't know enough about fixing that myself (if that is indeed the problem). Does anyone have any suggestions? If if it involves a virus, can someone suggest a program to fix the problem?

Another suggestion is to downgrade Flash Player to 10.3 and see if it still crash or not. I noted how to uninstall current version and install older version in the other thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/922257?tstart=30
Let us know if older version work fine or stil crash. There is different code path between 10.3 and 11 so there might be chance that older one won't crash. I hope you can enjoy ESPN soon.
