Flash Player Hangs Firefox Severly

Hello,
I am using
windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
16 GB RAM
Core i7 3.4 GHz
SSD Hard disk
Flash Player 11.4
Firefox 15
The problem that I am facing is when I try to play a flash game it hangs the whole firefox and not only that GAMES SPEED is higly effected, you can't play game as it hangs continously.
Can someone tell me what's going on? how can be flash player creators so careless?
To see an example you can visit this page and click play while using firefox 15 with the mentioned flash player 11.4 it hangs
http://www.bloghuts.com/2011/03/fancypants-adventure.html
Just to mention I tested many games site for the same game and other games, the issue is with Flash Player without a doubt.

I tried the game. It took long  in beginning to load the game (heavy work on the plugin process)  but I could play full game without hang. You may wan to see if your hang is due to protedted mode feature.
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?

Is there any other game affected in same way like facebook games?

  • Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser

    Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser.
    WIN 7 enterprise 32 bit / Firefox 19.0.2 /
    Internal company website keeps giving attached screen shot error, and hangs the browser when error pops up.
    Steps taken:
    Uninstalled Adobe Flash player with the file “uninstall_flash_player.exe”
    Deleted provided directory in instructions
    "Copy and paste the following and click OK.
    C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash        
    Delete all the files in this folder."
    Rebooted PC and reinstalled the flash player directly from “http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html”
    Re launched company website and received same error.
    Repeated above steps as well as uninstalled Firefox browser.  Even went so far as to remove all profile information to start fresh from all profiles on the laptop with the same results.
    Note: The web page will work without the flash player plugin, and my page doesn’t hang the browser. Required to open page in FireFox per company policy.

    I'm sorry you're encountering this.  Could you paste a few of the most recent report ID links displayed when you go to "about:crashes" in the Firefox address bar?
    As for workarounds, the first thing I'd suggest is trying our 11.7 labs release which you can get here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
    If that doesn't help, please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
    How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
    In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.

  • 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 for Firefox on Win 8 / 64 bit

    I'm trying to install Flash Player for Firefox on a Windows 8, 64 bit system, but have been having no end of grief. 
    I've finally traced the problem back to the origin, and it's happening because when I enter the info on the download page, it serves up the installer for the 32 bit version instead. 
    It does in fact verify on the page that I'm requesting and downloading the 64 bit version, but what I receive and then install is 32 bit.  And consequently, I can't get Flash Player to work in Firefox.
    Is there any way at all I can access the real 64 bit Flash Player for Firefox / Windows 8?

    There is no separate 32-bit and 64-bit installer; on a 64-bit system the installer will automatically install both 32-bit and 64-bit players.
    Download the installer from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe

  • Work-around for flash player hangs/freezes during initialisation...

    Hello all,
    Are you also facing the problem that the flash player hangs/freezes during execution of an xcelsius file? Try if the following work-around works also for you.
    I am (was) facing the same problem: a swf file about 1474 kb with many components, generated with Xcelsius 5.3.2.0., trying to view with flash player 10.1.82.76. Did also hang/freezed! The file was originally build with version 5.3.0 and worked o.k. then...
    The work-around which works for me is the following: I had all my components organized in groups. After ungrouping them all (which I think is a major drawback) and exporting it to swf, the report works! File size is more or less the same...
    Maybe you can give this work-around a try for your own work....
    So I think the SAP/Adobe bug has something to do with grouping of components or grouped components build in an earlier version of Xcelsius 2008... The following test that I will perform is ungrouping the components and then re-grouping them again in version 5.3.2.0....
    Greetings
    Erik-Jan Vriens

    Thank you for sharing this. Had a similar problem before and did some tinkering around with the file and all of a sudden it worked again. Fair bet it was exactly that as well.
    In general Xcelsius performance goes down the drain if you start using many components. It is to be expected, somewhat, I guess. Various bugs also pop up because components do not always seem to play nice.
    One thing I have found as well is that if you are doing a waterfall approach of constructing with a bunch of iterations in the implementation phase, you may end up with a bunch of components that were there early on. Sometimes they start messing up over time, because you've been playing with the data below or with the chart itself. E.g. on line charts label start distorting, or the frames flicker. In radiobutton boxes the boxes are not aligned properly. Checkbox labels are clipped at the end until you hover over them etc..
    Solution: remove the components, add anew. If not too many components with a tough spreadsheet below, export Excel, start a new.

  • How Update Flash Player for Firefox Without Running Firefox?

    I have had a problem with Firefox freezing when I try to do just about anything other than simple browsing for at least two years. Updates don't help nor disabling all add-ons, nor reinstalling, etc. Nobody can figure out how to fix it so I use it as-is. I would like to update the Adobe Flash Player add-on but Firefox freezes every time I try. Is there a way to update the Flash Player in Firefox with actually running Firefox?
    Thanks
    Running XP SP3 and latest Firefox.
    Also running IE8 using the latest Flash Player.

    That worked, thanks so much. Now all I have to do is figure out where I can find similar files for all the other plugins that are outdated, Acrobat, Java, DivX, etc.
    Thanks again.

  • Cannot install Flash Player for Firefox

    I am running Windows XP HE with SP4.  IE and the latest version of Firefox are installed.
    In both IE and Firefox, on attempting to install Flash Player with the standard link, I get an error message in a small window opens, title "getPlus+(R): Error," text "Unable to load a GUI," "OK" box.  I got around this by locating a standalone installation for IE, which downloaded an installation file to my computer.  However, this does not work in Firefox, even when obtaining access to that link from Firefox.  The file executes, but Flash Player still shows as not installed in Firefox.
    I cannot find any separate standalone installer for Flash Player for Firefox.
    This error message appears to be generated by the Adobe Installer, a getPlus product.  My thought was to uninstall the Adobe Installer, and try to start over.  However, the Adobe Installer shows up in the list of installed programs reached through Control Panel, BUT clicking the button to uninstall the program does nothing.  The program remains listed.  I cannot find a location for the Adobe Installer program on my disk drive.

    As I said in my first message, Adobe DLM appears in the "Add/Remove Programs" dialogue box, but clicking the Remove button doesn't do anything.  The screen flickers for a couple of seconds, and Adobe DLM remains listed as an installed program.  There is no installed program listed under the description getPlus or NOS.
    I found useful information at http://www.findmysoft.com/news/Patch-to-Fix-Critical-Adobe-Download-Manager-Vulnerability- Released/ .  Not to put too fine a point on it, information at various locations shows that the DLM has been a troublesome program.
    IE did not list Adobe DLM, getPlus, or NOS as an addon.  Firefox listed "getPlusPlus for Adobe 16263" as a plugin. There was not other extension or plugin listed under Adobe DLM, getPlus, or NOS.
    Based on the information at the link cited above, I tried the following. First, in Firefox, I disabled the getPlusPlus for Adobe 16263 plugin.  Removing it was not an option.  First, using services.msc, I disabled the getPlus Helper service.  Removing it was not an option.  Third, I deleted the directory c:\Program Files\NOS and its subtree.  I did not find anything relevant in the Application Data directories.
    I then went to the link on the Adobe Web site to install Flash Player.  (I know, it's already installed, but I wanted to see if the DLM would now function.)  This time, the first thing that happened upon clicking the link to install it was that the site completed a new installation of DLM.  However, on proceeding to the installation of Flash Player itself, I got the same error message noted above, "A GUI could not be loaded."  So nothing changed.  Opening services.msc again, I noted that the getPlus Helper service had been reinstalled, and was no longer disabled.  The c:\Program Files\NOS directory had been recreated.  I tried manually starting the getPlus Helper service, and trying the installation again through the Adobe Web site.  Same result, no help.  And note that DLM is not being cleaned up automatically as part of this process, as is supposed to happen.
    I'm thinking that a previous installation of DLM left behind some corrupted relic that is preventing it from running properly.  Very likely an incorrect registry entry.  But good luck finding that one without help.
    NOS Micro has a link to "Contact Our Support Team" at http://www.nosltd.com/index.php/support .  Maybe as a last resort see if they would respond?  Note that I can't locate a way to get support from Adobe except by paying $39.95 per incident for telephone support.
    Thanks!

  • 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!

  • Cannot install Flash Player in Firefox

    Windows Vista 32 bit
    Firefox 3.6.8
    I have been trying for days to install the latest version of Flash Player for Firefox but keep going round in circles.
    I download the Download Manager which then prompts me to restart Firefox.
    When I do, the Download Manager starts but I then get a screen telling me that in order to use a proxy I need to enter an address and a port. I am not using a proxy. If I click OK the screen reappears. If I click cancel the downlaod is cancelled.
    I have tried uninstalling previous versions, but this makes no difference.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Don't use the download manager; download the installer directly from

  • I cannot get rid of the permissions box when using flash player in firefox

    Hi
    I have explored on the web about this problem.  When attempting to use flash player in firefox, I cannot click on the allow button to allow my video camera and microphone to be used on sites.  I CAN go to Global settings and allow the sites by putting their URL, but this makes no difference, the little permissions box keeps appearing and won't go away.
    Anyone know what else to try if changing global setting permissions doesn't work?
    Barry

    This sounds like a bug.  The direction that we're heading is to have the browsers present these permission dialogs, and to eliminate them from Flash completely.  It is unlikely these native dialogs will support an "always allow" or "remember" option.
    If you're not able to click the button in the dialog when it's displayed, that's problematic.  We have a couple things in the pipeline to make the dialog bigger.  Usually those problems are resolution specific, although if there's moving video behind the dialog, that can trip our security controls.  We do a bunch of checks to ensure that the dialog you're clicking isn't obscured by something else, so that we're sure you know that you're clicking and approve button.
    There is an improvement in the pipeline to make these dialogs bigger.  They were originally designed for 640x480 screens (they've been around *that* long), and they're way too small on modern high-density displays.
    Anyway, you're welcome to file a bug at http://bugbase.adobe.com/.  Please be sure to include a link to the problem content, and the configuration you're using (OS and browser version, and screen resolution would be particularly useful -- these are often resolution-dependent issues).

    Good work jc! You are a good student:-) All Java add ons in IE are correct and FF also. Nice.
    Now that we have all of that out of the way, we can Uninstall and Install FP
    This is the Uninstaller that you will download and SAVE to your Desktop:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    This is the Installer FOR INTERNET EXPLORER, download and SAVE to your Desktop:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
    This is the Installer FOR FIREFOX, download and SAVE to your Desktop:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    After those are on your Desktop, you will do the following:
    Close ALL browsers
    Disconnect from the Internet
    Disable All Anti-Virus/Spyware and any Firewall other than Windows Firewall Also check to make sure no applications that use Flash are running, check the system tray.
    RUN the Uninstaller Once. Then Reboot and RUN the Uninstaller again(to make sure old files are removed)
    Then RUN the Installer for IE and Reboot ONCE
    Then RUN the Installer for FF and Reboot ONCE
    Re-enable your Anti-Virus/Spyware and Firewall
    Re-Connect back to the Internet.
    Then using IE first, go to the test site:http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about
    Then using FF do the same test.
    Then post back the results or if there were any problems and/or any messages.

  • Flash player hangs in Firefox. Eats up 50% of CPU

    I'm working with flash application. It works in other browsers except for Firefox. In Firefox, after couple of minutes, the application hangs and Flash player eats up 50% of CPU. Firefox becomes unresponsive and stays like that. Neither Firefox nor Flash player crashes. Flash just hangs forever. I had to go to task manager to kill Flash player process.
    This doesn't happen when I install a Debug version of Flash player or one of the older versions of Flash players. Is there a known issue with new Flash player?
    I'm using:
    Flash Player 11.5.502.146
    Firefox 18.0.1
    Windows 7 32 bit.

    I'm sorry you're going through this.  I suspect you're running into a conflict with our Protected Mode which was introduced in Flash Player 11.4.  Please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
    How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
    In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.  If this does fix the problem, please open a new bug report on this issue over at bugbase.adobe.com. The following FAQ will walk you through the information we'll need and instructions for generating a crash log (if applicable):
    How do I report a Flash Player crash to Adobe?
    Once the bug has been added, please post back with the bug URL or bug number so that others effected can add their comments and votes.

  • Installing Flash Player on Firefox

    I'm using the most recent Firefox and I noticed that the plugin was no longer there, I then tried several times to install it.
    The download worked fine and the installer seemed to go though the mototions but when I then checked the plugin list it wasn't there so for some reason the installation isn't working or it's not initalising...of course I'm willing to accept that it could be a Firefox issue. It is the most recent Flash Player that I've been trying to install and I imagin that an auto update may have caused the issue if the problem is with Flashplayer rather then Firefox.
    Is anyone able to give me an idea as to which is at fault?
