Flash Player locks up FireFox and IE6

When I go to
http://www.scifi.com/superhero,
my browser locks up. I have flash player 9 installed, and there is
a movie of some sort that tries to load, but it just locks up my
browser (IE6 AND FireFox) to the point where I have to kill it.
I have FlexBuilder2 installed on my machine as well, if that
makes any difference.

I also try to go to this site and nothing plays:

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.

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 IE9, Firefox and Chrome

The latest version of Flash Player 11.4.402.287 is causing my browsers (IE9, Firefox and Chrome) to crash when I'm on Pixorial. I've contacted Pixorial customer service but they say it's a Flash Player problem.
I'm running the following:
Windows 7 Professional
Chrome 22.2.1229.94 m
IE9 9.0.8112.16421IC
I have updated the display adapter driver (I read somewhere that might help) but no change. I am having the same problem on my laptop at home which is using the exact same versions I have typed above, except it uses Windows XP.
Any help is sincerely appreciated. I'm at the end of my rope and I don't know how to fix this.

I got reply and they said it's not necessarily a Flash Player problem. The app need to load heavy resource to run so it might be causing performance issue under your HW/SW configration. Have your machine with same setting worked fine before and suddenly started the issue after installing Flash 11.4.402.287?

Flash Player Crashing on Firefox and IE9

I recently updated my firefox and Flash player to the latest versions and now everytime i want to watch a video or anything that is used with the flash player, the flash player keeps crashing and tells me that i need to update it.. I have already tried uninstalling it and installing it again and it still won't work I don't know if its because i have a bug or what is the prob exactly. It was working on my IE9 before i uninstalled and installed again the latest version, but not on firefox. Now its not working on either. I have the Acer Aspire 5100 32-bit running on Vista Home Premium. If anyone can help, I would SO MUCH appreciate it.

what i did following his instructions, was using firefox, go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ like he mentioned above and your going to see the adobe flash player animation on top of the page. Right click on the animation and click on "settings" and then uncheck the "enable hardware accelaration".. It still won't work on my IE since i have IE9 and its still beta. But it shouls work if you follow the instructions using firefox

Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).

I have Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, but I'm still missing Flash Player?

So I have installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, and I'm able to watch youtube videos on my browser and other things that require flash player, but I have a disc that i got along with my Samsung monitor, and when I put it in my computer, it says that I do not infact have flash player. Also, when I try playing a game, DawnGate, theres a black box where a video should be, and it says that i do not have flash player, and it is required to watch these videos. I tried uninstalling, and I was unable to watch youtube, and when i reinstalled, I was able to watch youtube again, but that did not fix my problem. Is there something I'm missing? I look forward to hearing from someone soon.

Odds are it's looking for the IE plugin: (A lot of software just assumes ALL Windows users are "slaves to Microsoft" and only have IE installed.)
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
or the standalone Player:

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.

I need to uninstall Adobe Flash 11.3. My programs show Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X AND Adobe Flash Play Plugin. Do I uninstall both or just 1 (which one?)?

In Firefox Add-ons it shows that I have Shockwave Flash 11.3 as a plugin. It shows that I can disable it but not uninstall it.
I want to downgrade to Flash Player 10 so Firefox, and websites quit crashing.

Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X is needed for Internet Explorer and its clones.
The Plugin version is used by Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and other browsers that don't use ActiveX, but need the Plugin version.

OS X 10.8.4 Flash Player locks up OS in Firefox 27.0.1

Flash Player locks up OS in Firefox 27.0.1, Flash is ok in Chrome.
I go to Youtube and play a video in Firefox and the image is scrabbled; pixelated shows a lot of green and screws up the whole system, if I use chrome flash is fine. The Firefox version is 12.0.0.44, I have tried earlier versions but I get the same result.
This is most annoying because Firefox is my main browser.

Chrome has ha separate plug-in from Firefox. Functions independently of it. Green screen (in Windows) is almost always caused by out dated or corrupted video drivers. Not something common to Macs since the hardware is proprietary, and the Drivers are in the BSD subsystem.
Gotta ask, how come you haven't run the 10.8.5 update? It came out October 14.

Flash player locks up web browsers

I'm having problems with Flash Player locking up my web browser. Any time I play a flash movie to make the browser crash (not responding). I've tried IE 8, Firefox, and Chrome all with the same results. Here are the specs:
ATI Mobile Radeon driver version 8.632.0.0
Flash version 10.153.64
Windows 7 HP 64bit
4GB Ram
Dual Core AMD
Please help!

currently flash is not available in 64bit.
32 bit version can still run on 32 bit browsers. (It doesn't work on 64 bit IE)
Is it a specific swf which is crashing or any of the flash content?

Flash Player locks up browser

I'm using Flash Player 11.1.102.55, Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit), ATI Video Card in a Lenovo Desktop.
I've tried Flash Player with IE9, Chrome, and firefox.
It will work when on Adobe's site (the flash player shown after install).
On other sites (like youtube, etc.) I get a green screen and it locks up the browser (no matter which browser).
I'm running the latest ATI driver, Latest Flash Player Version, latest Firmware on the PC.
I have hardware acceleration in flash player turned OFF.
Any ideas? This is driving me nuts. I've googled and can really only find to turn off acceleration (which I've tried/done). No other video issues, just with flash.

The latest driver from Microsoft Update, or from the AMD download site? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765
Green screen is usually an indication for some incompatibility with the graphics driver, although turning Hardware Acceleration off should prevent that from happening.

Unable to install Adobe Flash Player in Mozilla FireFox

I am attempting to download and install the current Adobe Flash Player using Mozilla FireFox 19.
When I go to the download page this is what I see - no Download Button:
http://awesomescreenshot.com/02411pbs45
I have disabled my AV - no change. I have the latest version of Java activated.
I do have Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX installed in IE 10.
I run Windows 7, 64 bit, on an HP Pavilion dv7.
Thanks.

Could not see how to reply on the discussions page so am replying here. DOH! Was not signed in.
I only use FireFox and rarely IE.
Went to the provided page and saw this:

In the meantime I was able to download and install Adobe Flash Player 10. Will work with this in the meantime.
Thanks.

Flash player freezes in Firefox

Flash player is causing Firefox to freeze for about 30 seconds whenever I access a website which uses flash.
I am using the latest version of Firefox (v19.0.2) and the latest version of Adobe Flash (v11.6.602.171). This same problem has existing for at least the last 5 versions released by Firefox and Adobe Flash Player. My OS is Win7 64-bit.
I am 100% certain that flash is the source of the Firefox freezing problem because I can cause the Firefox freezing to stop and start again by disabling and enabling the Adobe Flash plugin. In order for me to make Firefox usable, I always disable the Adobe Flash plugin.
I have read on the web that many other Firefox users in the Win7 environment have the same problem that Firefox freezes when Adobe Flash is installed and enabled. There are many reports that the freezing in Firefox can be solved by disabling protected mode in Adobe Flash.
Unfortunately, the method available for disabling protected mode will not work for myself or anyone else that works on computers issued and supported by my Fortune 500 company. The method of adding a line to the mms.cfg file requires users to have admin rights to editing files in the \windows\system32 directory structure. The company I work for has all computers without such admin privileges. Since there is no alternate for disabling protected mode, myself and all 4000 of my colleagues have no options for fixing this freezing problem.
Can you please solve this issue by either 1) working with Firefox so that the browser will no longer freeze when Adobe Flash player is installed, enabled, and protected mode is enabled, or 2) make protected mode a configurable feature that can be enabled or disabled by any user group in Windows Control Panel.
Thanks in advance for you consideration,
jlavie5555

Hi jlavie5555,
I'm sorry you're encountering these pauses. We work very closely with Mozilla and have been hard at work trying to solve all related protected mode issues since this security feature was released. We do have a few additional troubleshooting steps you might want to consider taking (in addition to disabling protected mode.) Please see this faq for details:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
We also have a new 11.7 beta available that contains significant changes to improve protected mode. I suspect you might be blocked from installing it, but if this option is available to you I would recommend giving it a try.
3/7/2013 - Flash Player 11.7 Beta
Thanks,
Chris
