Flash player crashing in safari + firefox

flash player 10.1.102.64 OS X 10.6.5 Safari 5.0.2 Firefox 3.6.8 iMac 9.1 Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz
Ever since I updated the flash player, my browser (either/both of them) eventually crashes while watching flash content. It doesn't usually happen for the first hour or so, but it happens a lot, maybe every few hours. Its really getting annoying. Sometimes I can switch browsers for a day or 2 before it happens again. Sometimes I can't force quit + must reboot.
This very rarely happened before the most recent upgrade. Also its crashing on fairly stable, reliable sites, ie, comedycentral.com, lynda.com, cnn.com ...

I haven't seen any Mac users in this forum for a very long time.
All I can recommend you is to disable Hardware Acceleration, and if that does not fix your problem, check http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html

Flash Player crashing in Safari (and Firefox)

Safari crashes when I'm viewing various Flash content. For example, the BBC Radio iPlayer crashes after about 10s of playback. This does not appear to be the fonts issue that seems to have caused other people's problems. I've reinstalled the Flash Player (version 9.0.115.0) and have a vanilla install of Safari. OS X 10.5, all updates applied. This started happening pretty recently, not sure whether it correlated with anything.
Firefox also crashes similarly, but posting here as it seems like the most appropriate area in the discussions.

OS X 10.5.1, QT 7.3.1 and Flash 9.0.115.0 (all the latest versions). Security update 2007-009 version 1.1 installed. Permissions repaired and computer restarted.
Tried the official Flash uninstaller and reinstalled.
Also tried disabling all the mime-types for quicktime, and the options to play movies automatically and save them in the disk cache.
It still crashes pretty consistently on http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/djs/?lhn (usually after no more than 3 or 4 reloads). (the iPlayer may have been a red herring - I always had this page in the background).
The only thing that I can identify is that the permissions repair process identified, and failed to fix, a few permissions errors on the Flash player, even post reinstall. Specifically:
User differs on "Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Localized.rsrc", should be 0, user is 501.
Permissions differ on "Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Localized.rsrc", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are -rw-r--r-- .
User differs on "Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/Resources/English.lproj", should be 0, user is 501.
Permissions differ on "Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/Resources/English.lproj", should be drwxrwxr-x , they are drwxr-xr-x .
User differs on "Library/Internet Plug-Ins/flashplayer.xpt", should be 0, user is 501.
Permissions differ on "Library/Internet Plug-Ins/flashplayer.xpt", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are -rw-r--r-- .
I think that this is a red-herring too. Can't see why it should need group write access to these files (particularly when it doesn't need it for the other localisations). But I'll go and change them manually if anyone can suggest a convincing reason why that might be causing the problem.
Anyone have any constructive observations or advice? I can post many more crash dumps (with the binary images bit too if necessary), but they all look pretty much the same. Can anyone reproduce the same problem by reloading that page a few times?

Flash player crashes continuously in Firefox--tried everything

For the past few days Firefox browser videos requiring Flash player do not open but give me the 'crash screen'. It works fine with Internet Explorer because it is built in. I have tried all of the recommended fixes from adobe and and firefox.
I have enabled in firefox
I have disabled all plugins and extensions then tried enabling Flash Player
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash player a few times
I have tried adjusting Flash player settings
'' " deleting FPs cache, etc.
I have not been able to adjust FPs acceleration because it won't open in the support pages.
I have: a newer toshiba Satellite L70 (intel i7)
64bit
windows 8.1
I am stumped!

I too have experienced a problem very similar to this and was hoping to find help here. Another person has experienced a very similar problem, but without response here: Adobe flash player freezes constantly
This all started when I updated to version 16.0.0.305. When I downgrade to version 16.0.0.296, the problem is resolved. However 16.0.0.305 is a bug fix that patches a critical zero day exploit, so I do not want to stick with it for very long.
I hope this is a known issue and Adobe will be releasing a patch for it soon.
Best Regards,

Project created in Flash CS3 & Flash CS5 crashes both Safari & Firefox

I have a user with a brand new image including Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and the Adobe CS5. When creating a project in Flash CS5 and then trying to view it in Safari & Firefox the plug-in crashes which then brings down the browser with it. I went and installed Flash CS3 (as this is what he is used to using) and the problem still persists.
Any ideas?

anyone?

Flash Player Crashing Safari/Firefox

Over the last week Flash Player has rendered Safari and Firefox virtually useless... whenever I load up a site that uses it I get the pinwheel of death and if I look in activity monitor it always has a reference to Flash Player plugins not responding.
Chrome seems to be fine somehow, but it's a total resource hog so I hate using it.
By the look of this board and twitter it sounds like I'm not the only one... any help here?
I'm using a 2011 MacBook Pro and OS 10.10.3

Hi,
Could you please provide more information like browser version, flash version and the site you are trying to open
Thanks

Adobe Flash Player crashes on Firefox (NetSteam, Stratus)

Flash Player version: 11,8,800,97 (last)
OS: Windows 7
Browser: Mozilla Firefox 22.0 (last)
Problem: Adobe Flash Player crashes on Firefox, when runnig project with such elements like NetSteam, Stratus.
When problem happen: Only when some streamed data is incoming, after random time. Time before crash can be 4 minutes, it also can be 2 minutes. Memory leaks or disk space usage didn't change and don't seem to be a reason. Problem happen when I was testing my voice chat together with few people. At one moment it crashed at few computers at the same time (which were using Firefox). Then we had luck with repeating this problem several times - simply by asking one of us to play any music into Microphone. Then Firefox Flash Player always crashing.
Here you can see repeating of problem: http://youtu.be/BdkoQxloyDA
It also show that it does not crashes if nobody is sending audio stream in created group, but it does when somebody is sending audio stream. In that video I'm repeating problem by myself, with help of one computer and 2 tabs of Flash Player. First is running in Chrome, second in Firefox. Player in Chrome is used to send system sound from speakers to peer group. Player in Firefox is listening and playing everything he hears (this is why I set it's volume to near 1).
Here is .swf :

It's very simplified voice chat which only displays streams which are being heared. It's adding " is talking" when stream is sending data. "g" parameter is a group name, I think you can choose any, but tests were made with this one.
Hope it helps. If you will need .fla file - just tell me.

Your issue is distinct from the original poster's issue about a crash on Mac. I've branched this out to a new thread so that we're not confusing everyone.
Firefox on Win8 isn't very stable. We're collaborating with Mozilla on improvements, and my test results with the daily development builds are really promising, but it will be a few more weeks before they actually make it to production releases.
In the meantime, you're way better off using IE or Chrome.

Flash Player crashes on Firefox and Windows 8

I too have this problem and it occurred after Firefox's recent update.
The Flash Player crashes any time I open a website with embedded Flash videos.
I cannot watch anything that requires Flash Player and when on Facebook, the pages continually crash. I send a crash report each time then reload and it crashes again. I send about 20 reports per hour and am sick of it and have started using another browser where I do not have this problem but my preferred browser is Firefox.
I have Firefox 35.0.1 which is the latest version.
My operating system is Windows 8
The plugin I have for Flash Player is Firefox, Mozilla - NPAPI 16.0.0.296 however when I check with Flash Player, it tells me the version I have is 16.0.0.235.
When I try to upgrade, I am informed that my version is up to date.
Steps taken
- updated Flash Player
- Cleared caches
- Unchecked hardware acceleration in Firefox.
I cannot find the menu for Flash Player as I'd like to try to disable hardware accelerator there too.
HELP please.

Trying to find out which line of AS2 code is causing flash player crash in firefox & chrome browser

Hello,
I have a flash movie (AS2) created for the website visitors' registration and this flash movie is longer in size than the browser's window height so that site visitors need to browse down using browser's vertical scroll bar to see all of the contents in the flash movie.
When users click the submit button in the flash movie then
Firstly, the AS2 code attached to the      on(release){    event scrolls the html page back to the top (because the user must have scrolled down to view the flash movie content at the bottom of the page and I want the html page to go back to the top of the page)
getURL("javascript:window.scroll(0,0)");    // this is the AS2 code I have used for scrolling the page back to the top. I suspect this code is causing the flash player crash in firefox and google chrome
and also tells the _root of the flash movie to go to and stop at a frame named "StartEnteringData".
_root.gotoAndStop("StartEnteringData")     //making the _root of the movie to go to the "StartEnteringData" frame
this.gotoAndStop("Start")                                  //making this movieclip which contains the registation form to go to the first blank frame labelled "Start"
The "StartEnteringData" frame on the _root of the flash movie has AS2 code for entering the registration data to the database by using loadVariablesNum( ... )
Here's my question.
Almost everytime the user/visitor click the Submit button, the firefox browser users and google chrome browswer users see the Flash Player CRASH...
This doesn't happen often with the website visitors using MS Internet Explorer.
I have read some www articles (by searching google) saying that Adobe Flash Player in Firefox and Chrome browsers crash a lot.
But, for my flash movie, everytime the visitor clicks the submit button, flash player crashes. Therefore, I guess it is the AS2 code that I'm using (associated with the on(release) event of the submit button) is causing the flash player crash rather then the flash player compatibility with Firefox and Chrome browsers.
So, someone please tell me what's causing the flash player crash.
Is there a better code to make a web page to go back to the top?
I am also using the codes shown below on the first keyframe of the main movie. (_root)
//For custom flash right click menu:
var myMenu_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.zoom = true;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.quality = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.print = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.save = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.loop = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.rewind = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.play = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.forward_back = false;
_root.menu = myMenu_cm;
//For tiling the flash movie background with bitmap picture
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("pattern");
this.beginBitmapFill(tile);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();

by repeatedly commenting out lines of code you suspect are causing the crush and retesting you should be able to pinpoint the problem.

Safari Flash Player crashes after upgrade to snow leopard

I just upgraded my 10.5.8 to a snow leopard 10.6. The main problem is safari flash player crashes each time it gets used. Any ideas much appreciated

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Version 11.4.402.265 is for Snow Leopard onwards.
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.

Since the last Firefox update, flash player crashes when I start my cam

When I start my webcam in a chat room, Adobe Flash Player crashes. If I do not start my cam, everything is fine. I have the latest versions of Firefox and Flash Player. I have windows 98
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed the most recent update

I have the same problem as well, however, I have noticed that the issues seem to be local to specific sites.
In my case, its tinychat.com, and tokbox.com. I have no problems getting into Tinychat, but when I try to cam up or even access the settings in regards to the camera dialog, adobe crashes.
So far, I can chat and cam anywhere else I please with no issues that Ive found.
Another thing i noticed, is it worked fine the first time i logged into Tinychat, but on the next subsequent visit, it was broken and remained so after.

Flash Player crashing Firefox

Hello,
Last week i keep having issues with Adobe Flash player crashing Firefox.
Each time i visit a site that uses Flash i get the well known error message saying that Adobe Flash player has crashed.
I use Windows 8.1 x64
The latest Firefox version (33.0.2)
The latest Flash player
I have tried setting ProtectedMode to 0 & disabling hardware acceleration. Both methods didnt work for me.
Also i uninstalled Flash using Adobe's uninstaller and reinstalling the latest Flash version which didn't work either.
Any help is greatly appreciated because this is getting very frustrating. I never had any problems with Flash before untill this week.
I haven't installed or made any hard -/ software changes either.

First, please return Flash Player to the standard configuration. Disabling ProtectedMode leaves you far more vulnerable to malware than you would be otherwise. If disabling hardware acceleration didn't resolve the issue, then you can enable it again.
First things first, from the Firefox menu, choose Help > Restart with Add-Ons Disabled. Do you continue to see the stability problem? If not, then we should look at what other plug-ins you have installed to see if they're causing compatibility issues. Likely candidates would be ad blockers and "download flash video" plug-ins.
If the crashes persist, go to about:crashes in the Firefox address bar. Click the first few links to submit the crash reports to Mozilla, then copy the resulting links to a response here.
Thanks!

HT202681 Is Flash Player only for Safari? Do I need Flash Player for Firefox?

Is Flash Player only for Safari? Do I need Flash Player for Firefox?

A Flash tip to help avoid security issues later: There are known scammer who fake a "Flash is out of date" pop-up that leads you to a site that installs malware or can compromise your private data. If you see a pop-up in FF saying you need to upgrade Flash, the only safe thing to do is go to this official Adobe site:
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
and follow the downloads instructions there. It will show the currently available version. You can quickly tell what version is on your computer by doing System Preference > Flash Player and selecting the "Updates" tab.
Do NOT choose to update Flash from any pop-up. Here are several articles with more info on the "Fake Flash" issue:
http://www.thesafemac.com/?s=flash&submit=Search
Fake Flash pop-ups commonly contain grammatical or spelling errors. One common one is "Failure to install this update may cause your computer to crush." Using only the official Adobe site I linked plus checking your current version via System Preferences will avoid your having to figure out if a pop-up is fake.

Flash Player crashes on every browser?

I know this topic seems to be common, but a lot of the things I have seen in other posts really has not helped me at all.
So, I think it's my turn to ask.
I am on Flash 11.2.202.235.
My OS is Mac OS X Lion.
No matter what browser I use, or at least the three that are on this computer, they all don't work and there's no crash report that could help me at all. It crashes every so often after maybe, 2 or 3 youtube videos or 5 or 10 minutes of seeing anything that would require flash.
First, when Flash Player crashes on Google Chrome 19, the whole webpage turns white, and I have to reload the page countless amounts of times until it works again.
When I try in Firefox, an error pops up that says "The Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed. No report available. Reload the page to try again." With a very depressed looking lego block.
When it crashes in Safari, the area of what is supposed to be the thing using flash becomes white and nothing happens.
I've tried reinstalling, clearing cache, deleting the browsers and reinstalling, and all of that, but, it continues to crash and I hope someone could help me!
Thanks!
