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?

Hi friend,
I would suggest you uninstall the IE 8 and then restart the
comp and then again install it. I do not feel it is a bug. There
might me a system error. So try this us and let us know.
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,
Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1

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.

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.

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
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting

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.

The video downloading is extremely slow after downloading Flash Player Active X (IE) and FP Plug-in

I have Windows 7 on a 64-bit operating system, and have Firefox 19 and Internet Explorer 8. I tried installing Flash Player 11.6.602.171 from the Adobe Website and got an error message right at 47% download "can not contact reliable source." I also tried uninstalling whatever Flash Player I had, but I continued to get the same error message at 47% "can not contact reliable source." Finally, following the advice found in the link below under "Program Bar Hangs During Download," I downloaded Flash Player ActiveX (internet explorer) and Flash Player Plug-In (all other browsers). It appeared that both downloads were successful and I verified that the installation was complete in the link below under "Verify that installation is complete." It says I have Flash Player 11.6.602.171. My issue now is that whenever I watch videos that use Flash Player, the downloading of videos is extremely slow. For example, a 45 second youtube video might take 30 minutes to watch. I have tried everything (from General Info, Download Issues, Installation Issues, Post-Installation Issues) in this Adobe installation problem page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html but the problem has not improved. Can someone please help me? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

First, I went on this link under Progress Bar Hangs During Download
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header
and then I downloaded Flash Player directly by clicking the links provided Flash Player for ActiveX (IE) and then Flash Player Plug-In (All browsers). After my installations were complete, I tried watching any youtube videos or videos on www.ABC.com and the loading of videos was extremely slow.

What is your operating system & version?
What is your web browser?
What means "not working"; what do you see instead of the expected Flash content?

Firefox won't open website(site requires flash player) - my other browsers open it successfully, flash player is installed correctly and up to to date version

Assuming Allan's advice is not correct, and you do run the installer, I think I've heard of that problem and it involves removing the old Flash plug-ins, then install the new version. I don't use it so I don't know what they are called, but will be the /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder.
You can go here and enable HTML5 in YouTube so you don't have to use Flash: http://www.youtube.com/html5
Most(?) of the content is HTML5, but you may run into videos where you still need Flash.

Flash player crashes my browser and WiFi connection!

Earlier this month, I had to perform a factory reset of my Dell laptop--erase the hard drive, reinstall the original Windows 8 OS, then re-update to Windows 8.1 and reinstall ALL my apps--because of a malware infection. The computer would go to the BSOD ("blue screen of death") shortly after booting up. The last thing I remember doing before this started? Installing an update to Adobe Flash Player! Even before this virus hit me, I was experiencing problems with my WiFi connection. Webpages would suddenly stop loading, and it would only work again after I reset my connection, even though the router was in the next room. I noticed (curiously enough) that I didn't seem to have this problem after I did the factory reset and reinstalled every app except for Adobe Flash. The WiFi connection worked perfectly. Then, on April 17, I visited a website (ESPN, I think), that needed Adobe Flash to play video. So, with a good deal of trepidation, I went ahead and reinstalled Flash. From that point on, I started having the same WiFi problem as before, only WORSE. As soon as I started to stream video (and even sometimes audio), not only would the video stream suddenly stop playing or buffering, but I couldn't even refresh the page because my WiFi connection had to be reset! So tonight, I uninstalled Flash Player, and voila, everything seems to be working perfectly again. From my experience, Flash Player is buggy, untrustworthy, and incompatible with the other software on my machine. I'll be shopping soon for a competitor!

Some more info: My computer is a 64-bit Dell Inspiron 15 with a dual-core i3 processor; my favorite browser is Firefox, and I think I was running Flash 11.1 (it was a 32-bit Flash Player, so it might be I just need a 64-bit player, if that's available). Let me know what you think...

Cannot install Flash Player without a password and I don't have one.

I cannot seem to install Flash Player without a password and I do not have one. What to do?

The password that's being requested (required) is your user account password ON YOUR SYSTEM (not for Adobe). You CANNOT install without an administrator account, and you CANNOT set up an administrator account without a password.

You don't need an Adobe ID or password to install Flash Player, but you may need to provide your system's Administrator password during the installation.
