Freezing firefox (bon echo) with 32bit flash plugin

Hello all,
I've installed on my arch64 the 32bit flash plugin for firefox according to arch wiki pages. It works in a sense it does not crash. Nevertheless, it freezes for several seconds whenever opening a web page with flash animation.
If firefox started from terminal, it reports errors about libraries - like found that and that library, which should be 32bit, but it is 64bit and vice versa.
Can I somehow solve the problem by setting up LD_LIBRARY_PATH or other environment variable just for the firefox?
Thanks
Dusan

If you want a full 32-bit-based browser that will work with the flash and java plugins natively, see bin32-swiftfox-prescott or bin32-swiftfox-athlon64 for the Core2 or Athlon64 processors, respectively. If you want java, then search for the 'lib32-jdk' package. You'll have to link the java plugin yourself:
# ln -s /opt/java32/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /opt/swiftfox/plugins/
I originally created these packages because I need "Java WebStart" for work, and it only comes in the 32-bit JRE/JDK. It all works very well for me!
Good luck!

Firefox 3.6.23 having freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin

Firefox 3.6.23 is experiencing constant freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, not sure if it is a conflict issue or not.
Since the update there had been no reported issues till today when the blue screen came up on me, this issue prior to plug in 11 had occurred at least 6 times, this issue only happens on firefox.
I do not wish to update since recent firefox browsers seem to have a lot of ongoing issues.

Anyone able to help please?
Thanks.

When I try to update Flash, Firefox tells me that the Flash plugin is required to install the Flash plugin.

I am having problems with viewing flash plugins on websites. it seems that the firefox 5 is inlarging the flash piece thus skuing the image and inabling features of the flash object itself.

most important issues i am having are the following are as follows:
1) on www.alliedelec.com the main image in the flash rotating banner is skued from being enlarged.
2)http://www.alliedelec.com/eaton-control-automation/ on the bottom of the page there is a flash video player which is missing the controlbar at the bottom and cutting off the video previews on the side due to the flash oject being enlarged.
i have checked this in older versions of firefox and other browsers and ff5 is the only browser which is having an issue and one in need fixed asap.
Please Help!!!!

No problems here on Linux with the Flash objects on both pages. 
I see the control bar.
Make sure that you aren't zooming anything on that page.

Anyone else having problems with Adobe Flash Plugin Crashing on them?

Ok. Me, along with several other people have been dealing with Adobe, regarding their Flash Plugin constantly crashing. The Plugin Container works well on Firefox, but because Adobe crashes alot, It runs up the CPU usage on the Plugin container which slows the browser down. Alot of us believe that the problem lies with Adobe's software, but so far no one at Adobe is willing to fess up and state that is the fact. So I am coming here to see if anyone has any answers that might help get Adobe's head out of their 3rd point of contact. The Problem is the Plugin crashes on any browser and any combination of Windows. Everything is updated on Firefox. Adobe plugin is updated along with other key software that is currently updated. Adobe still crashes. Anyone have any valid suggestions or ideas what could be causing this? I would like to have something that I can go back to Adobe with and give them and tell them where to start. I want this mess fixed. Its annoying as hell.

They are looking into it, but they are moving incredibly slow. Meanwhile, They are getting unhappy customers who are trying to tweak their browsers in such a way to force Adobe to work for them so they can do what they need. I even had to lower the Plugin Containers priority setting to low so it doesn't hog the CPU so I can do what I need, If barely. Its just frustrating and I am doing what I can to come up with something I can hand Adobe and say Here! Now fix it. lol

As prompted by Firefox, I updated my Adobe Flash plugin. Now I have no sound for any Internet site. Any ideas?

I updated the Adobe Flash plugin this morning. I have tried turning the computer off and powering back up with no difference. My volume controls are not muted and volume is not affected in non-Internet applications.

Firefox has trouble with all flash applications

My favorite forum website recently dropped support for IE. This specific reason, is the ONLY reason I stopped using IE. Firefox has a much closer resemblance to IE than chrome, and this is the ONLY reason I chose it over chrome.
Everything works fine, except every and all flash applications.
Youtube, animated ads, games... everything causes huge cpu load spikes and lags like crazy (I'm sure it would cause a crash on a basic computer). I have a very high end rig, the problem is not my hardware, or internet speed (100mbs). It is entirely fire fox.
All flash apps work FINE on IE/chrome, I tested them. Please offer support, thank you.

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Youtube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

Problem with Adobe Flash (plugin has crashed). Have updated, uninstalled etc.

Recently I keep getting the Adobel Flash plugin has crashed message. Not aware I have changed any programs or software.
I have ensured every thing in uptodate. Tried uninstalling and re-downloading. No success.
Read your help page.
Are there suitable alternatives to Adobe or is this limited by the websites that use Adobe?

I am adding screen shot of Yahoo messenger to my previous question. Though it is in Japanese but there is a little English too which will be helpful to those who could not read Japanese.

Cannot type Japanese in a flash field, with latest flash plugin and firefox.

When I try to input Japanese with my IME(I tried google and Microsoft one)in a flash field, the IME just won't activate. I am stuck with only being able to use western letters and I can't change it in any way. If I load up Opera I am able to input Japanese fine in flash fields.

@iamjayakumars
The website is used the most is the site below. It is a japanese chat site that uses Flash, but the sites Kurosan posted also does not work for me.
http://pigg.ameba.jp/core/main
@Kurosan
Great(well not really great..) to hear I am not the only one with this problem. Thought I was going nuts.
@amitshree
The keyboard is set to Japanese Language(I can see the JP at the taskbar of the keyboard), but there is no way I can change the input to Japanese. I am stuck with western letters.
Also when I click on a flash field. The IME logo disappears , this normally doesn't happen when I click on a normal text field.

Firefox 2.0.0.14 Flash Plugin

[SOLVED]
Just ignore the errors, flash is installed properly

Yosemite: Input freezes when loading webpage with video (flash?)

Just updated to Yosemite, and its impressive. But im having a severe issue where input (mouse and keyboard) freezes for at least 5 seconds whenever I load a webpage in Safari with a video on it. Not sure if its just flash or any video. This did not happen before upgrade.
Im on a late 2013 Macbook pro Retina 13" with Yosemite 10.10
Any suggestions or similar experiences?

Try uninstalling Adobe Flash Player, and determine if the web page containing the video you are using really requires it. Most don't.
If, after uninstalling Flash Player you determine you really require it, install it again. That alone may fix the problem.

After installing Mozilla Firefox 20.0 with Adobe Flash Player 11.6, YouTube videos won't load properly.

YouTube videos worked fine before installing Adobe Flash Player. When installed the screen flickers after one second, rewinds to the beginning, then plays normally. This doesn't occur when I use Internet Explorer. I have reinstalled both Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player many times but nothing seems to work . Downgrading Adobe Flash Player didn't work either. It seems like Firefox is the problem but I'm not completely sure.

Hi All,
Thanks a lot "cor-el". I also suffered from the above issue. And after I disabled the protected mode by editing "mms.cfg" file the issue got resolved. Now flash player is working fine.

Why does firefox keep stating that my Flash plugin is outdated ?

I mean : "even when the latest version is freshly installed ?"
Of course I
- restarted firefox after the update ;
- checked the libflashplayer.so file to be sure it was the new one ;
- tried to 'lsof' to be sure it is using the right file, and it is.

Ok two more questions for you and sorry for the back and forth:
# Do you have any security scanners on the phone? *should not be an issue
# Would you be comfortable providing a debugging log when you see this happen? [https://quality.mozilla.org/docs/mobile-firefox/fennec-on-android-logging-with-the-android-debug-bridge-and-logcat/ Instructions] and [http://pastebin.mozilla.org/ Pastebin tool to share logs]?
