Flash video freezes after 4 seconds in Firefox every single time

Everytime I play a flash video on firefox it freezes for about 2 seconds after 4 seconds, this may sound like a minor irk but it becomes very annoying. I've tried re-installing multiple times and I'm on the latest version but nothing seems to work. Also tried turning off protected mode and disabling hardware accelaration- still no dice. It's smooth and fine after 4 seconds but it always freezes, I have no idea why- I've also had multiple issues with flash on Chrome which is which I switched browser. It appears it doesn't work on either on of them properly. Windows 8.1 if that helps.
Thanks in advance

What is Firefox.bak and why does it come back after I delete it every single time?

I have tried to reinstall Firefox multiple times but it doesn't help at all; I keep getting Firefox.bak back every single time and it is annoying me to a great extent. How do I get rid of it once and for all?

My Flash Pro CC 2014 freezes while I'm working every single time and I can't figure out why

I just bought Flash Pro CC about a month ago, and every time I open it and start using it, it freezes and I can't click on anything in the program or even close out of it normally. I have to use Task Manager and force it closed. I doubt that its my hardware, as I ran previous Flash Pros on it in the past with no problem. Is anyone else having this issue?

You might try to remove the preferences file from Flash, but I don't think that will solve the problem. You may need to resort to a clean installation: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

After Effects CS5 Crashes every single time I try to render a file

Hello,
I am trying to render some fairly simple motion graphics. I have an i7-860 2.8GHz computer with 16GB of RAM custom built to run After Effects. It always starts out just fine, but within about ten minutes it crashes and the computer restarts. I've done everything I can thing of from changing the amount of RAM that it uses, to the number of core processors it uses. Are there other things that I should try in order to keep AE from crashing? I've yet to get a single project to completely render.
Many thanks,
Matt F.

you could always try cooling it manually,.. err
try finding a blow dryer that has an air only mode, most have them, and try running it holding they blowdryer right on your memory or cpu. if you didn't get high performance ram, and cooling tabs for the memory try cooling the memory. When memory gets too hot it starts flaking out. Also even the smallest amount of dust can cause your surfaces to cool poorly, MIT did a study that showed tiny layers of dust caused heating issues. Every now and then I take a dive tank pressurized to 200 bar and blow out everything..
Problem is testing it. almost none of the testing programs I saw got close to AE running full bore.
I've seen desktops with passive cooling at 85c the system dies instantly, you need to look at the apci tables to see what your system is set for.
I got a thermaltake case, it's alike a vacuum cleaner ,.. but different.
I guess if you want to test it try the hair dryer in cold mode. My system running 5-6 cores ND 13-14G ram runs about 65c still warm but not hot.

Flash videos freeze

Some flash videos freeze for ½ second every 10-12 seconds. This started a few weeks ago, maybe after FF update. There are many posts on this subject in various forums, the best I found is this locked thread:
https://support.mozilla.org/sv/questions/782366
I use Flash 11.9.900.117 and Firefox 25.
Things that did NOT help:
* disabling hardware acceleration (restarted FF)
* restarting FF without plugins
* reverting to Flash 11.7
* disabling plugin container (setting environmental variable to 1)
I don't have this problem in IE. I haven't updated IE in a while so it uses Flash 11.5. A fix for watching flash videos in FF for me is using IEtab.
There is no problem with e g youtube, just some on-demand video sites.

My problem with FF 25 and Flash 11.9 would rear it's head while listening to NPR news on their player. Frequent freezing and inability to get it going again. What worked for me was to uninstall Flash[I went to Adobe.com and got their uninstall Flash app, rather than rely on Windows uninstall]. While at Adobe, search for Flash 11.7 and download. From what I've read elsewhere, 11.7 includes the latest security patches. Be sure to uncheck the McAfee download, and check to be notified of updates, rather than have them happen automatically.

Flash Player freezes after a few seconds of playing

Adobe Flash Player freezes after playing for a few seconds.
It does this in both Mozilla Firefox and in Google Chrome.
It does this regardless of how much of the file has been buffered
(it's not just pausing and waiting for buffer)
I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed.
I have the latest version of Mozilla Firefox installed.
I have the latest version of Google Chrome installed.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash Player.
I've tried disabling hardware accelleration.
I've tried increasing the buffer size.
I've tried setting the buffer to 0
I've tried clearing the appdata cache

fourstrings411,
Could you give our 11.4 beta release a try to see if that resolves the playback problem? If it does not, please see this FAQ for other possible solutions. In particular, look towards the bottom for instructions on rolling back versions or disabling protected mode.
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
Thanks,
Chris

Youtube videos freeze after a certain amount of time, but audio continues.

As it says in the title, most Youtube videos freeze after a certain amount of time for me, but the audio continues.
Happens on Firefox, IE and Chrome

This happens mostly because of obsolate drivers.

H.264 multi-pass re-encoded video freezes after 10 sec (consistently)

When I take an already encoded H.264/AAC movie and re-encode (to enable the fast-internet streaming option) with the same settings with the "Best Quality (multi-pass)" option enabled, the resulting video freezes after 10 seconds, though the sound continues through the rest of the movie. I have tried this on 3 different movies with the same results. When I change the encoding to "Faster encode (single-pass)", the resulting movie's video frame does NOT freeze at 10 seconds and plays normally. I can reproduce this on any already encoded H.264 movie I wish with the same results.
I have Mac OS X 10.4.8 (PowerPC), 1GB RAM, QT 7.1.3 PRO. I also happen to have DivX 6.2.5 Pro and Flip4Mac 2.1.0.33 Player Pro (though I was not converting anything using those codecs).
Any suggestions? SEEMS to be a QT bug to me... Any one else experiencing this
17 PowerBoook (1.33 GHz) Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1GB RAM
17 PowerBoook (1.33 GHz) Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1GB RAM
17 PowerBoook (1.33 GHz) Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1GB RAM

No need to jump through all of the re-encoding hoops to enable "fast start".
Open the file (whatever format) and use "Save As".
This will place your file into a .mov "container" but the fast start properties will be restored.

Video Freezes after Update to 1.1

Video freezes after 20 seconds of play and then resumes with no audio after upgrading to 1.1.
From what I've read, this seems to be a problem when video has been converted using a third party software. It seems at this point, the only way to remedy the situation is to downgrade to 1.0. Here's how to do it without having to restore your ipod:
http://www.digg.com/apple/Howto_downgrade_to_older(iPod)firmware_WITHOUTrestoring
Just as a note, I called applecare and my technician was clueless about the problem. She was telling me to send it in, but I'm fairly certain that this isn't a hardware problem, just a problem with the upgrade, as people on many other forums are reporting it. In that case, you probably won't get much help calling customer service just yet. Hopefully they'll put a fix out for it soon.
sony vaio Windows XP

Hi,
I had the same problem and downgraded to the lower version. now the video works without any problem, but there seems to be another problem. when I want to eject the ipod from itunes, I get a message, that the iPod cannot be ejected because data on the iPod is currently used by an external program...
any idea...?

UPDATE: AFTER RESTARTING THE PC IT WORKED WITHOUT PROBLEMS!

Repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the menu bar, quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, install the v10.5.8 combo update.

Flash video has not worked with Firefox browser for years. When will you fix this?

Anyone who uses Firefox browser (for Windows or for Mac) knows that flash video playback ceased working sometime around Firefox ver 13 and has not worked since.
The Mozilla people say it is Adobe's fault - instead of fixing Firefox.
They say roll back to Adobe Flash version 10.
This solves the video problem, but then, any other services that depend on the latest Flash build, quit working properly.
This situation leaves millions of Firefox users in perpetual frustration. We can't use our browser of choice to view any web video built with Flash.
This is so unacceptable. I am unable to understand why Adobe and Firefox don't get together and iron out whatever code incompatibility is causing this.
I would really like to hear Adobe's explanation for this.

Uh... I don't know what planet you posted this from, but Flash video has worked flawlessly with Firefox for hundreds of millions of users here on earth, without any gaps since Firefox was still called Mozilla.
For the record, I have Firefox 28 with Flash Player 13 installed on:
WIndows XP (SP3-64bit)
Windows Vista Ultimate (SP2-64bit)
Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1-64bit)
Windows 8 Enterprise (64bit-2 machines)
Windows 8.1 Enterprise (64 bit)
OS 0.6.8 Server
OS10.7.5
OS10.8.5
OS10.9.2
And I've had Firefox with Flash Player since 2003 on both OS formats. I've never had a compatibility problem.
I also use Chrome, IE, Opera, Safari and a few other browsers you probably never heard of (like SeaMonkey, Maxthon, Waterfox, iCab, OmniWeb)... Flash works in all of them.
I'd have to say the problem is with your system specifically, because if it was a Firefox/Flash compatibility problem, there would have been hundreds of millions of complaints about it, for over a decade. That... just isn't the case.

Incoming Video freezes after a few minutes Using S...

I just installed the Sony BDP-S780 Blu-ray and Sony CMU-BR100 Webcam, skype is working, however the incoming video freezes after a few minutes. The caller on the other side clicks off the video and then back on, it works again but only for a few minutes. Is there a fix for this or am I doing something wrong.

Every single time I go to my Hotmail account(s), Foxfire will load the page and then freeze within a minute or two requiring a whole shutdown of my browswer. HELP!!!

Over the past few months I have been having issues every time that I log onto my Hotmail account. My Foxfire has seemed to be "buggy" for the past three upgrades but now mostly everything is working well. When I log onto one of my Hotmail accounts, I can start to check it and within a minute or two, Foxfire will freeze and I have to Force Quit. To my knowledge, I'm not missing any PlugIns, I have not changed anything in my settings, yet it constantly freezes. I have to Force Quit Foxfire every single time I want to check my email. I really like FoxFire and don't want to go back to Safari - Help!

I get an e-mail through gmail that notifies me that the days comics are available for me to read. I open the e-mail and immediately click on the link that takes me to the site and my page of comics. I shut down the e-mail and only have the site page open. Somewhere about halfway through the list, Firefox crashes. Usually it then gives me that "inform Firefox" notice, but it also just tells me that it has crashed and I have to restart Firefox from the desktop. Rarely, it will let me do a "restore" but, as I say, that is rare - I usually just have to restart Firefox and go back to my e-mail and start all over again. Also, when I am on the site, the icons for going forward or back on the individual comics is not showing, I have to guess which icon is under the pointer.
I have not reset Firefox back to original, as I don't really want to do that, since I seem to always lose important information when I do that. I am using the most current version - 33.02. Even while typing this, FIrefox won't show that dash "-" mark, I just hope it's there.
Also, my bookmarks save(exported) file is 12,924 KB in size, which seems rather large to me. And I do have a large amount of sites saved, so...
Any ideas/help?
Thanks!
Michael
