  • FF Flash Plugin Issue: Lots of disk access

    Hi,
    I was looking for strange disk access under Windows Vista.
    After using ProcessMonitor form Sysinternals, I saw Firefox
    seems to do many accès to NPSWF32.dll
    So If you let open a FF Web page, it access harddrive very
    often. So it may also call AntiVirus Check, logs writting, ...
    Is it a known issue ?
    Best Regards

    Hi,
    - I try to uninstall / reinstall ... nothing
    - I try to remove some extension ... nothing
    - I try on an other computer with Windows XP: Everythings
    fine
    I don't know why Vista and Firefox want to acces NPSWF32.dll
    many many many times ???
    Helllpp please !!!

  • Everytime I attempt to use Facebook's Flash Bulk uploader my Adobe Flash Plugin crashes. It does this on Firefox, Chrome and IE9 All of which are up to date. What is the issue here?

  • Using OSX 10.8 DW CS6 when I click "live" it says "flash plugin" "not found".

    Using DW CS6 when I click "live" it says "Flash Plugin was not found. To view Flash content in Live View install the Firefox Flash Plugin from www.adobe.com."
    My default browser is Chrome. DW uses Chrome as the primary browser. (FFox is secondary.)
    I do have Firefox and do not have Flash on it. I open Flash content Chrome, and I installed an HTML5 video viewer add-on in FFox (but haven't tried it yet).
    I also have the Dreamweaver HTML5 Video View add-on, so why am I getting that message? Furthermore, the HTML code doesn't have any Flash objects. (The code is the source HTML from www.google.com page, without any changes.)
    How do I make DW display the "Live" view of the code without giving me an error? (My end goal is to find out what google does when you enter something in the search box and hit the Enter key, actually, I'd like to see why the result of the search is displayed the way it is - default should be Web view, but Image view shows instead. I want Web to show!)

    "Why would anybody paste Google's source code into their own web page?" To learn from it.
    I'm sorry Phil, but you can't learn much from Google's source code because search engines are dynamically programed with behind-the-scenes code and content from databases that you can't see.  You're just spinning your wheels here.  If you want to learn how to make a search engine, I'd be happy to point you to some relevant PHP & MySql tutorials.
    The issue still remains that DW is giving me the error (flash plugin not found)
    When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW

  • Firefox 34.0.5 says Adobe Flash plugin is blocked, but update check reports my Flash plugin (ver. 16.0.0.235) is current. How to fix???

    About 1 month ago, I updated Flash and Firefox to most current versions. Firefox 34.0.5, running on WinXP, SP3, shows Adobe Flash plugin as ver. 16.0.0.235, but this is now being blocked again. No other versions of Flash are evident. When I choose option on Flash screen to check plugins are up to date, Firefox reports Flash plugin is up to date.
    This program behaviour is wrong and should be fixed. Checking at Adobe, current Flash is 16.0.0.305.
    Who or what is broken here? Is Firefox broken, and not reporting correctly that more current Flash plugin is available?
    I do not appear to have previous versions of Flash installed on system. This combo of software was working correctly for a while, and then became broken, without a proper path to allow users to resolve it. If Firefox is rigged to "Block" a plugin, then it *MUST* be configured to easily and **CORRECTLY** allow that plugin to be updated. Using most current software, my clicking on the "Check for updates" feature reports that Adobe Flash is most current version. Arrrrgh!!
    I am now back to "diagnose and fix broken Firefox+Flash" exercise, which I just went thru.
    Best solution here would be to allow user to easily override the "blocking" mechanism. This would assist users who only use Flash video access on trusted sites.
    If there is an obvious solution to this current Flash "BLocking" goofery, please inform. Otherwise, if and when I resolve this, I will post a reply to my own question here, indicating what I did to fix this, as it appears to be affecting other Firefox+Flash users, without a clear solution being posted.

    Adobe issued 3 new Flash 16 versions in January alone, then another new one - .305 - in February, ''along with one in early December. Five new versions in 2 months time''. So with updating Flash "about 1 month ago", you are probably 2 or 3 versions behind the latest Flash 16 version.
    Note that Adobe has its own internal updater, which by default is set to check for an update ''(only)'' once a month. Adobe does their own updates for their software, Firefox just tells you when your version is on the blocklist due to known security issues with the version you have installed. It is up to you to do a manual update between the monthly update check that Flash does for your installation.
    The "solution" is for Adobe to fix their stuff. Like maybe an updater that checks for updates more frequently, and not hide their updater user preferences where users don't know where they are and be able to set it for more a frequent update check cycle. ''[Firefox "checks" every time Firefox is launched, as does Chrome]''. Or fix the code in Flash that leads to it being so exploitable, and not have to do 5 separate security fixes in as little as a 2 month time span. ''Flash went almost 2 years prior to Dec 2014 without Mozilla needing to blocklist it, and when Mozilla did first blocklist it in Dec it was / is a soft-block where the user can still use it by using Allow per Flash presentation.''
    My advice is to grab the Extended Support Release - Flash Player 13.0.0.269 from here - https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html - over 3/4 down that page. IMO the best version for WinXP users, as the later versions have features for Vista and later versions of Windows - won't work on WinXP or may cause problems on WinXP.

  • Firefox Flash plugin crashes when FF launched with "Run as different user"

    I often start Firefox in Windows 7 (x64) using the "Run as different user" mechanism. After upgrading my Flash plugin to v11 (11.8.800.94), the browser will hang for several minutes when visiting any page that contains Flash content. When Firefox becomes responsive again, scrolling a page with Flash content will cause the app to hang again. Disabling the Flash plugin eliminates the problem.
    It seems the plugin is silently crashing -- I'm not alerted to a plugin crash in any way (no dialog or yellow "Flash player crashed" notice at the top of the window), but after FF hangs I will see a new crash report entry in the FF about:crashes list. An example crash report is available at https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/ff452291-b5b2-44e4-a172-416792130818
    The plugin does not crash when Firefox is running under the same account that is logged onto Windows interactively -- only when running FF as a different user. For example, if I log onto Windows with user account Adam and launch FF normally, the problem does not exist. If I close FF and launch it as user Bob (shift+right-click Firefox Shortcut, choose "Run as different user"), the problem will appear. However, if I log into Windows as user Bob and launch FF normally, the problem does not exist.
    I have tried the following as troubleshooting steps, all to no effect:
    Create new Windows user accounts to rule out potential Windows or Firefox profile issues.
    Use another PC (also Windows 7 x64). The same behavior occurs on both PCs
    Disable AVG antivirus.
    Upgrade Firefox to latest version (23.0.1).
    Disable Flash hardware acceleration.
    Give both user accounts full local admin privileges.
    Can anyone suggest something to try next?
    Update: Per the troubleshooting instructions at < http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 >, I was able to eliminate the problem by adding the line
    ProtectedMode=0
    to my C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg file to disable Flash Player Protected Mode. There are instructions on that page for submitting a Protected Mode-related bug, and I will follow through with that.

    Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
    so here ya go.

  • Firefox29, on a new win7 computer which has never had ff installed, will not install the latest flash plugin from adobe.

    I promise to refrain from venting my disgust :-) but when FF 9 blew up the entire web. I had all kinds of issues so I did things like Bill Gates taught us to do. I re-installed windows 7, brand new, formatted HD and all. The very first thing I did was open IE to download FF29 from the mozilla site and it installed. I went to pages I know have fits with flash on purpose, www.nydailynews.com, for instance and got the message that no flash was installed, do I want to install it? Well, yes, I have brand new FF on a brand new computer, so to ahead. Did the usual, installed Flash, shut down, and even rebooted the computer, and golly gee, the web pages tell me I have no flash installed. Its in IE, and of course chrome, and it appears in the installed program control panel, but I can't use flash with FF 29.
    I wiped the hard drive and reinstalled win 7, then installed ff 28. Went to adobe and installed their latest flash version, and still no flash in any version of firefox. I also checked the option to never update, but when I rebooted an opend FF29, it miraculously turned into FF29, and of course still does not work with the flash plugin.
    I think firefox has had a world of trouble with Adobe Flash for over a year and have hoped for a solution. Basically a browser that cannot run Flash media is totally useless. I wonder why this problem was no addressed and corrected, when instead all the the resources were put into raping my computer and forcing FF29 onto it?
    I am not a cry baby, who wants to complain, but will you please fix this issue so I don't have to abandon my favorite browser.. I don't enjoy Chrome, and IE is just not an option for me.
    Before you make any moreoverhauls on the UI, could you fix the problems with flash. I find it a little condescending to tell a 25 year user of computers to make sure " you have the latest versions" when in fact I have a brand new install of windows and the very latest from Adobe and Mozilla and they do no wok together, even when I down grade to FF 28, which as I told you, automatically upgrades to FF 29 each time I boot up.
    Please help. IF installing the latest Adobe onto a brand new hard drive and install of windows 7 fails, what do you suggest, as the usual " version issue" cannot apply here.
    FWIW, I have vista on my laptop with the same problems, the same reinstalls and the same guaranteed latest versions. Since the hd is formtted, there cannot be an residual FF dlls hanging around or in the registry.
    I have always seen open source as the way to the future, since the first PC arrived, but its looking like a bad idea.
    If you want to build a firefox that works, I will pay for it, so long as I can get help when things break. Browsers are huge in the web, so paying for reliable performance seems like a fair thing to do.
    I am sorry, but I am frustrated at the lack of progress towards a solution and really do not wish to be told to see if I am using the latest versions. I have taken every step possible and gone all the way to a brand new machine and FF does not work with flash reliably.
    Help? Please?

    adobe test page says it is installed. but I said, some pages I visit say I don't have it installed.
    I use prefbar ( I delete it and reinstall to make sure its not an issue) usually because it lets me turn off flash and avoid the crashing and locking up but when I check the flash block on prefbar, it says " plugin is not loaded"
    I posted from the machine that does not work, but it does not work on my Vista Laptop, or my daughter's computer either. In all cases, I wiped the drives and reinstalled the OS and went directly to Firefox for 29 and to adobe for their latest.
    Flash IS installed on my machine... It works in IE, and Chrome, but firefox 29 does not install the flash plugin, even tho the installer says all is well
    The reason I went totally clean is to make sure there was no process blocking it or if Java was creating the issue as well. The reality is, I started with a brand new computer, three times, and Flash will not load into Firefox 29 in any case
    I have started clean many times now and backed up and installed ff 28. I had no problem with the flash plugin using ff28, . I would have stayed there, but when shut down ff 28 and opened it later, it "magically downgraded to version 29" and i do mean " downgraded -( even tho I had gone into options and said do not install updates.
    I am grateful for your attention. I find that web browsers are very important anymore, an a non functional one makes the web a waste. I mentioned www.nydailynews.com and would really not want to make a long list of every page that demands a flash plugin, for they are legion that I don't have, mostly because when the page wants flash, FF locks up. Its will not even let me copy the URL to try and make a list, but the browser is totally locked up and I have to kill the process I get the message I have been getting for about a year that the shockwave plugin has stopped working. There is no shockwave on my computer.
    I know it looks like I have two different problems as the plugin does not load, but for instance, when I got it worrking in FF28, it loaded but constantly crashed an locked up the browser with the shockwave message, even tho I never install shockwave any time
    Frustration is the word for the day, or the week :-)
    Thanks much
    Kind regards,
    John

  • Adobe Reader 9.5.1 does not recognise older version of Flash Plugin 10.3.183.18 it requires 11.2

    I have a problem in upgrading Adobe Reader to 9.5.1 as it is not recognising older version of Flash Plugin 10.3.183.18 and it prompts the user to download and install Flash Player 11.2, this is not the case with Adobe Reader v 10.1.3 as it works fine with 10.3.183.18
    My Firm is not ready to rollout Flash player 11.2 , is there any work around or a fix available to fix this issue , does anyone know which API is responsible for this Flash content

    Hi,
    This was an intended change along with Reader 9.5.1. This new strategy simplifies Acrobat and Reader deployments by reducing the number of future required updates should a security issue arise. Moreover, you can now manage and update Acrobat products and Flash individually.
    Please refer to the following release note document for the 9.5.1 release for more information regarding the same:

  • Event.deactivate is not firing with flash plugin 10,2,152,26 embeded in IE 8 and above

    I am working on a portal which is built in flex. I wanted to perform some action based on my applications is in focus or out of focus. So  I tried to use two Events for this purpose Event.Activate and Event.Deactivate inside my flex code.
    These events fire perfectly in FF 3.0 and above, Safari, Chrome and these events get triggered till IE 7.
    But when I switch to IE 8 and above versions with latest flash player plugin 10,2,152,26 the Event.deactivate is not firing, and I am not able to detect whether my Flex application is out of focus.
    I tried doing some research around this issue both using Flex Events and Javascript approach using window.onfocusin and window.onfocusout, but still no luck in IE 8 and higher versions with latest Flash plugin 10,2,152,26.
    Has someone faced this kind of issue. Any help or solution to this problem would be appreciated. As we have a large number of users viewing this portal in IE 8 with latest flash plugin.
    The code is simple and I have pasted below:
    package {
      import flash.display.*;
      import flash.utils.*;
      import flash.events.*;
      public class Main extends Sprite {
        public function Main() {
          this.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, activateListener);
          this.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, deactivateListener);

    this is a known issue (or, really a collection of issues) related to how the deactivate event works in different browsers.  check colin moock's blog.
    for most, but not all, purposes using a mouseleave event works well-enough.

  • No matter how many uninstalls and reinstalls Firefox 4 will not play flash videos w the latest flash plugin installed. What do I do to get flash videos to play like everyone esle can?

    Trying to solve my non-playing flash videos wherever I surf in Firefox 401 w Flash plugin 10.2.159.1, such as CNN or anywhere really while surfing. Even at the Adobe web site I cannot play demo videos and I own CS4 Suite. I can play any YouTube video I select.
    I surf in Firefox 401 w Flash plugin 10.2.159.1. Don't tell me to UNINSTALL then REINSTALL the flash player as I have done that too many times.
    I logged out and logged into my clean account where I install nothing. No joy.
    What the heck is the problem? No one else seems to have this problem as I am told many play CNN videos fine.

    Hi arpriltime,
    Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.

  • Flash plugin 10.3 not working in SUSE linux enterprise 10 version.

    OS using: SUSE linux enterprise 10 version
    current Flash Plugin: 9.0
    I have downloaded the latest version of Flash plugin 10.3. for linux and replaced the old flash.so file with the new one. but after updating, i got only blank white screen. When i rigth click on the browser, i can see flash plugin 10.3 menu. I don't know what is the issue. Flash plugin 9 is working fine without any issue. I browse through adobe website and findout some additional libraries are required for FP 10. Is that the problem now. If so how can i fix that. Somebody please help me out.

    Sorry, I know nothing about Linux; it was the only idea I had.
    The only other suggestion I have is to try updating the device drivers for the video adapter, but I'm not sure this will fix the problem.
    Hopefully someone from Adobe can have a look at your problem tomorrow at US daytime.

  • Why Do I Have Multiple Versions of Adobe Flash Plugins in FireFox

    Hello,
    I usually have 2 versions of Adobe Flash plugins installed in Firefox at the same time: the most recent version and the prior version which remains behind after an update. I usually disable the older version but sometimes this also affect the updated version leaving me without Flash capability in FireFox.
    This week I updated FireFox's Adobe Flash plugin to 12.0.0.43 but was surprised to discover the 2 prior Flash versions also remained. Now Firefox had 3 versions of Adobe Flash plugins. I discovered the Adobe Flash uninstaller and uninstalled all Flash from my computer. Surprisingly when I reinstalled Flash player in FireFox, again 2 versions were installed: 12 and 11. I attempted to use the uninstaller on FireFox alone but it did not recognize the older Flash plugin, only the updated version 12.
    The recent Adobe Flash update, version 12, is a 'Critical Security' update. Therefore, I am a bit anxious to resolve this issue. I hope you can assist me with this issue.
    Thank you.
    Windows 7
    Home Premium (64 bit)
    FireFox 26'''bold text'''

    I might have thought the uninstaller would have found and deleted the old FlashPlayer. Maybe it was a custom install and in an odd location. (I suppose another possibility is that registry entries are wrong).
    Try totally uninstalling FlashPlayer using the Windows Control panel, before re-installing. Then check with the FlashPlayer uninstaller before reinstalling again.
    Note whilst doing this that Windows Internet Explorer has its own FlashPlayer plugin that is separate. You will need to reinstall both the Fx fox & IE plugins afterwards. Also note that for 32bit Firefox you will need the 32 bit FlashPlayer.

  • Flash plugin crashes constantly

    I just purchased a HP laptop with Windows 7 Home. 64 bit.
    When i first booted it up, I installed firefox and google chrome, both the newest versions. I logged onto facebook, and could do everything just fine. Played 4 different games that use flash and they ran perfectly.Worked for roughly 2 hours.
    Then suddenly it stopped. I got the grey screen that says "the adobe flash plugin has crashed" I've sent like 6 error reports. I tried it in IE8 (both 32 and 64 bit), FF 3.6.8, and Google Chrome (both of those 32 bit, since flash player doesnt work with 64 bit)  (whatever the latest version is for chrome as i already uninstalled it in frusrtation) and it freezes and/or crashes as soon as the game loads. It even freezes when I go to adobe's pages to check my version of flash. It's WIN 10,1,82,76, though ive had to load the page about 4 times to scribble that down since it crashes.
    I've looked up every help file I can. I've cleared cache, checked cookie settings, made sure all pop up blockers are disabled, turned off all security settings and firewalls. I've unstalled and reinstalled flahs player at least 6 times and uninstalled and reinstalled firefox 3 times. I went into the about:config settings and adjusted the timeout to -1 rather than the default 45....which did nothing except keep the page frozen then giving me the gray screen which at least let me go to a different webpage.
    I've turned off hardware accelaration in the flash settings as well.
    I've rebooted and computer on 4 occasions now, and even shut it down and left it sit for 6 hours just in case it just needed a rest. Still nothing, and I'm getting desparate, as I have never had this problem before on any machine I have run. I thought maybe it was a firefox issue however it's happenening on IE and chrome, I just dont get the handy "error report" page since it appears that is a firefox feature. IE and chrome just freeze, leaving me no option but to go into task manager and cancel them or reboot. Both scenarios I have left the screen alone for half an hour in case it was being REALLLLLLLY slow. No luck.

    BAD ATTITUDE...the poor frustrated guy cant get a fix, and you are p*ssed at him for being frustrated....I appreciate that you are trying to help, but if you cant fix it easily you give up....how about you spend some time like I did and get intouch with Adobe to remind them that their users are having a lot of issues with Flash that they are not addressing?...may save you some time helping in the long run....unless you enjoy the suffering of others!
