Flash player slows down at firefox?

There's a game I've been working on in my free time (it's
similiar to well known Crypt Raider):
http://www.satfilm.net.pl/~gierek/files/gra.html
(text is in Polish, it just means "level X; press Enter"). There is
the fps counter in the top-left corner. At opera it shows around
90fps and at Firefox there is only 60. Both browsers have flash
player 9. Is just the Firefox non-friendly for flash?
The fps counter works like that:

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Flash player slowing down

I'm having kind of a weird problem with the flash player. I
recently was having a performance problem with a game I'm working
on where after playing for a while, it suddenly would slow down to
about half the normal framerate. I searched for the bug for a
while, but then I noticed it was happening with lots of other
people's flash games too, even though the same problems don't occur
on other computers. So I think somehow the Flash player is now
having some kind of problem specific to my computer. Here's the
symptoms:
-As I run the flash, my CPU usage keeps going up but the
performance stays the same until it hits a sudden, major slowdown.
-If I've played a flash until the player slows down, then I
close it and open another one shortly, the new one will run slow,
too. If I wait a while, it will start out normal.
-This is just a guess, but it appears that flash that has to
redraw a lot every frame is having this problem the most. I have a
couple of games that don't change a lot each frame that don't have
any problems.
Anyway, I know this is kind of ambiguous, but I'm really
hoping someone will recognize these symptoms and know what's wrong.
Please let me know if you have any guesses as to what's slowing
down the flash player, it's become very difficult to develop when I
can't run my own games at full speed for more than 30 seconds :P
thanks,
Max

O/S Windows XP Professional 32Bit + Ati Catalyst Drivers "10-2_legacy_xp32-64_dd_ccc" and I am generally using Firefox up to date.
I made yesterday an experiment, removed the 11th version of Flash Player Plugin & ActiveX, and installed from the archive the 10th version of plugin + 11th activex and then everything worked like it supposed to be - fine.But i have failed to install 10th version of ActiveX, i'ts just telling me that cannot be installed, some kind of error.
P.S. I think i've fixed my issues, i tried to install again from the Adobe Flash Player archive version 10.3.183.18 ActiveX & Plugin and i did it.Now .flv are running like 2 days ago - without any problems.
Maybe the thing is that my configuration is slow for the new version of the player,my CPU isn't multicore, but still it is not bad for the Adobe programmers to optimize the new version better for slower pc's.
Cheers!

Why adobe flash player slows down all browser's performance?

I rememeber longer ago there were problems with flash player plugin inside Mozilla's Firefox browser causing the plugin to crash: Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again | Firefox Help
After a recent update (17,0,0,134) it almost never crash but it slows down all browsers performance untill it finally launches next video. Almost the majority of all news sites use flash player
to launch its' commercial. And it has several such boxes with commercials, for example: www.lrytas.lt
And while I'm listening to music via youtube and on the other tab reading news on that site, when music clip ends and the browser starts to load other music videoclip,
then the whole browser's work is paralysed - I can't write text, cannot scroll down, cannot click any link. All this is because the system is busy while in youtube next clip is loading.
Mouse marker becomes into round rotating circle indicating loading procedure (firefox is not responding). And it takes time - up to 10-15 seconds to launch new video. Then sudenly all my actions is executed after such pause - my text is typed,
my scroll down and maybe link is pressed. All this slowing down procedure is annoying. It wastes a lot of time. I open task manager and I see that Firefox is taking 900.000 or 1300.000 K of memory. My OS is Windows 7.
I close whole firefox.exe process and then it automatically close plugins. Then I open the browser again and it ask to automatically recover interrupted sites, I agree with it and then it opens everything again. And again
it is working continuously for some time untill slows down browser again. With more tabs more problems. Moreover, view of a video sometimes comes too late too. Some images are lost as system is too late already because
loading procedure took too much resources.
Long long ago flash player was better. But today with a rise of new ****** substandart computers like iphones ipads you have to evolve the player in such a way that it has to play on everything, but its performance on different platforms
is not the same.
Who is guilty - my PC, Firefox or the plugin? Or maybe I am?
In My Cold Opinion, users actions can't be ignored. The preference should be user's continuous control over a system load.

You are right about high CPU usage. It was even when playing various computer games. I don't have problems anymore. But not because I disabled all addons. I did these things:
In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
Search for dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode in the list of preferences.
Double-click on the preference to toggle its value from false to true. (If the setting is already true it means that Flash Protected Mode is currently disabled.)
Close Firefox.
Restart Firefox.
And since then I don't have that particular problem with overloading. I just disabled some of flash protected mode. How is that related with "overloading"? Strage. Hardware acceleration I've enabled again as without it whole text field in news sites is sometimes black.
Thanks anyway Mr.

Flash Player slows down CSS and DOM animations

Greetings again,
Following symptom happens only in Vista (both 64 and 32 bits)
IE8 Beta 2.
Using Flash animations (SWF) in same screen with other DOM
and CSS animations makes browser inresponsive. This does not happen
in Firefox, Opera etc. on very same Vistas and does not happen in
IE6 on a Windows XP machine or IE7 in Vista
Here is an example:
http://www.chip.com.tr
Don't mind the language of site, here is the thing: Menus
such as BÖLÜMLER, DOWNLOAD etc. on top, right of the logo
OR blue icons again right of the logo, normally works very well
without problems. However, when advertisements are loaded (which
are flash based), IE on Vista turn into very slow responsiveness
values when you mouse over these icons and menus. I tried to change
just flashes load without javascript need, result did not change
By design, is there some error or is this classified as bug?

No slowing down on page given on menu transitions and are you
on Vista?
Edit: Just tried it. Removed entire IE8 and reinstalled IE8
again. Problem continues on this page. It makes you feel like CPU
hit top but it is not. Using IE8 Beta 2, Flash Player 9,0,124,

Will downloading adobe flash player slow down my mac

Hi, i have a macbook pro 13 inch. Its my first mac and still figuring some stuff out but i want to be able to go on youtube, but when i pull up youtube it says i require adobe flash player; is there a way to get youtube videos without downloading flash. If not i dont mind downloading it, just would like to know if it will slow down the speed of my mac before i do download flash.

No, installing Flash will not slow down your machine. Make sure it is up to date so there are no security problems.

Can flash player slow down my website?

I , for one, consider that my website http://e-obiectesanitare.ro is slow enough with java only, but it could use some flash to become a little more alive.
I noticed that adding a facebook like box to my front page is enough to add 2-3 seconds to my loading time. Does flash usually require a lot of bandwidth? My loading time is about 2-3 seconds right now, and i wouldn't want to disturb it by much.
Waiting for your answer.
Sincerely , Dave

That entirely depends on the Flash content you put on the site. If it is a high-quality, large video, then it will problably slow it down.

So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use." I uninstalled it and followed all the suggestions on the websites nothing is working.

Na flash update van 12-06-2012 werkt de flash player niet meer in firefox, iemand een oplossing?

Na flash update van 12-06-2012 werkt de flash player niet meer in firefox, bij het googlen merk ik dat dit een veel voorkomend probleem is vandaag, maar nog geen oplossing gevonden. Kan iemand mij helpen?

Hi guys - for me this helped.
If Flash player is working in IE, then:
Close Firefox - open Internet Explorer - got to the Adobe Flash Player Site:
http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/
In IE you can see there is the 64-bit version - (in Firefox there was just the 32-bit version) - got to: (others)
http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/otherversions/
choose your system and version
download it via internet explorer and install the adobe flash player
restart firefox and it should work.
helped me after wasting one day of my life to find a solution, alle sites work just fine now.
hope this helps.

YouTube HD Flash Player Slow & Choppy on Netbooks

YouTube now has HD content. It's great, unless you're a
netbook user. The new HD content is unplayable on most netbooks.
Why? Because of the Adobe Flash player CPU intensive video
playback.
Here's an example:
Using an Acer Aspire One 1.6 GHz Intel Atom, 1 GB RAM. I
attempted to play the following video on YouTube:
"Where the Hell is Matt? (2008)" click "whatch in high
quality"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY
I clicked the pause button and waited untill the video was
100% buffered, then clicked play. The video does not play at all. I
only get a bit of chopped up audio and an occational new frame of
video.
I then used the Firefox download helper addon to download the
HD version of the FLV file for the above video.
I used the VLC media player to playback the FLV file. The
video played flawlessly. Perfectly smooth.
My conclusion is that the YouTube HD content playback problem
with netbooks is caused by the Adobe Flash Player's excessive CPU
usage.
Will Adobe make their flash player more efficient to lower
the CPU requirements?
Maybe there's Firefox addon which will replace the YouTube
flash player with the VLC pluggin. If I find it, I'll post it
here.

I ran the Flex 3 test at

and got results comparable to those shown: about 9-10 fps on my iMac, but about 45-50 fps on the work PC: an extremely visible difference. A friend of mine got 10-12 fps with his late-model Mac Pro and 8-9 fps on a slightly older PowerBook.
I just got around 34 fps on my 2.6 GHz MBP Penryn running 10.5.6 and Flash 10.0 r22 in Safari 3.2.1.
The bottom line, though, is if there are performance issues with Flash it something that Adobe will most likely need to fix on their own unless there's some specific bit of Mac OS X slowing them down.
You might also want to try upgradng to Mac OS X Leopard if you can.

Adobe flash player 10 .01 and Adobe flash player 10.32 for Firefox

I was told to download the latest version of Adobe flash I believe, that was 10.32, because now I have delete it. Both players, because I couldn't get it to install. I have shut down the manager on Firefox version on 3.5 I really would like to know before I download anything else, which ones to my supposed to have been exposed to have both of them running on Windows XP home edition service pack three and Internet Explorer seven, because I didn't think I needed to upgrade that to eight, it probably just be more headaches. I don't know, I just mean is that anybody have any ideas let me know.
One thing I have that is the problems with my
Attach Files (maximum: 3) can anyone tell me whether QuickTime player for Apple. Has anything to do with screwing this up, I updated it, because I mean to use it for my Kodak. So it says I'm not sure I just need help, quickly please. Thank you very much

These are the files listed in the folder.
Flash10p.ocx
FlashInstall.log
FlashUtil10p_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10p_AciveX.exe
I originally uninstalled Flash Player 10 ActiveX and the Flash Player Plugin
thinking they would both be reinstalled with the newer version. When I installed
the newer version of Flash Player 10 ActiveX I noticed the Plugin was missing
and wondered what happened to it. I didn't know it needed to be downloaded
seperatly and I also didn't know what it was for exactly. As it is right now
everything works and since I'm not using any other browser - downloading
the Plugin isn't required. At least now I have an idea what the Plugin it was
intended for and know it's not needed.
Thank You.

Flash Player installation problems in Firefox

I am having problems with the new download manager. I get an error message saying the installation is corrupted and I have removed it from Fox add-ons three times. I have uninstalled everything Adobe but my Reader and everything is shut down (all other applications).
So I cannot install the flash player.
FireFox updated itself today and said that Adobe should also be up-dated.
I have no player now.
This is as bad as Microsoft Net Framework I had to remove 2 weeks ago.
Please help.

I don't see any Flash content on that page you linked.

Flash player lags bad with Firefox but not with google chrome,what is the problem ?

Every time i try to play any game using flash player with Firefox i have a lot of lag time. I have to stop playing and wait for things to catch up to play to play any more,I do not have this problem with google chrome playing the same games.I have updated all add ons and plugins.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about a month ago

Everyone can blame flash player if they want, but the truth is for me I went from an earlier version that had plugin container which created lag for me. I disabled the plugin container in about:config settings, and firefox worked fine. Plugin container screwed up any videos i tried to watch on the internet by freezing, lagging, and crashing firefox. I was fine after I disabled plugin container, but then eventually some time later down the road I received a warning that i would soon be forced to update my mozilla so I eventually/reluctantly gave in and complied. At this point the same problems started again!!! I disabled plugin container again and it did help a bit right away. But this version 12.0 even with plugin container disabled with just a few tabs open I receive choppy video (like a snapshot of the video at 3 seconds in, and then another snap at 6 seconds in) I'm only seeing snapshots of the video like every 3 seconds while the audio continues on fine. That"s how bad the lag is. This is horrible performance for a browser. If I try to load a video while one is already playing, just that little bit of stress (2 youtube videos open at once) is all it takes to crash this poor performing version of firefox. I mean I can't even close the tabs after these situations and the audio sometime runs after closing for me as well. These problems did not start until the version changes of firefox and the addition of plugin container, not flash player. I have been a loyal mozilla fan, but my patients is wearing so so thin with the performance of this browser at the moment. Unfortunately I just realized for the first time ever I actually have to (against my will) install another browser just to watch videos. How sad is that? Considering watching videos is one of the main uses of a browser, I consider this version a failure. How could I not??? I guess I have no choice but to Chrome it up. I hope a fix for this problem can be found soon for I miss the great performing days of this previously top performing browser. Fingers Crossed!!!
