How can I prevent Adobe Flash from crashing so much?

The Adobe Flash plugin has consistently crashed at least twice a day since Firefox 5. I've gone through 3 separate PCs, WinXP and Win7, from Firefox 5 to Firefox 9, from Adobe Flash Player 9 to 11, and this is '''STILL''' a problem. When it crashes, it causes Firefox to either freeze for a full 60 seconds or permanently freeze and require shutdown. How has there not been any strides made to prevent these consistent crashes? Is there any way for me to read the crash reports that I keep sending Mozilla? Is there any way to keep Firefox from freezing when Flash decides it's time to crash?

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:

Check and tell if its working.

  • How can I stop Shockwave Flash from crashing?

    For the last few days I have been experiencing a problem viewing videos on web pages. The error message "The following plug-in has crashed: Shockwave Flash" appears across the top of the page and all the videos are black with a white logo in the middle. This is an intermittent problem throughout the day - so sometimes I can watch a video and other times not. Needless to say this is very frustrating.
    I have the latest XP version and also the latest version of Google Chrome. Today I unistalled all Adobe programs (problem still continued) and then reinstalled them - so they are all the latest versions.
    I have browsed through all the help pages and tried some of the suggestions - but the problem still persists.
    To be honest, I had never even heard of ShockWave Flash until Friday last week when this first started happening!!
    Does anyone have an answer for me..... please?

    Hello all,
    I understand the frustration and we hear you loud and clear.  We are actively working on this problem with Google and hope to have this resolved soon.  For those that are crashing, could you navigate to the following, windows only, page in Chrome:  about:conflicts
    Once there, look to see if you have an software entry with the name "Rooks/Dolomite"  If so, you might require an update to Trusteer's Rapport.  Here's more info from Trusteer:
    Dear Rapport users,
    Thank you all for your feedback about our Beta version, regarding the Google Chrome Plug-in crashes.
    It indeed seems we have successfully fixed the issue and so we have now finished uploading a stable version of the software that contains the fix you have been using.
    This version is now available for download in the following link:
    http://download.trusteer.com/Gcur4Wtnu/RapportSetup.exe
    You do not need to uninstall the current version, you can simply install this version over the existing one.
    Please make sure to restart your computer after the installation process is completed.
    Sincerely,
    Nitsan Bleiberg
    Head of Technical Support
    Trusteer
    Additional details can be found on the following Google Chrome thread (see page 10):  http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=0d782f19a7a1a9ec&hl=en
    Another thing to note, after reading through that thread it appears that the latest Chrome beta might also be helping some users out.  It's something to consider trying to if you're finding Chrome release is to unstable to use properly.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • How can I prevent Adobe Acrobat from applying optimizations and compressionsserve on save/save as...

    I am generating mailpiece documents as PDF v1.4 from a document composition tool.  I am using Enfocus Pitstop v10 (v10.1.7.27 to be exact) to remove some unneeded water marks from the produced document.
    My issue is that I need to PRESERVE the original PDF structure as emitted from my composiiton tool and I'm finding that regardless how I proceed, Adobe Acrobat want to resave the PDF as v1.6 and apply a series of optimizations and compressions which alters the original PDF structure.  The reason I need to preserve the strucure of thePDF is to confirm 508 compliance for the emitted PDF documents.
    Note: I've tried various settings in Acrobat Distiller and the Adobe PD printer (thinking they are invoked somewhere inthe backgroud of Acrobat when it goes to save/save as...) but haven't experienced any progress...
    Am I chasing a rabbit here (meaning what I want is NOT possible) or am I missing something in my configuration attempts??
    Thanks!

    If you need the final PDF to have the requisite well-formed structure tree (that is, compliant with ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1) and thus "accessible" then you need to do the adjustments to your PDF's content streams before establishing that well-formed structure tree.
    Note that PDF  versions 1.4 or above can have that well-formed structure tree - put another way PDF version 1.4 or PDF-1 (PDF is the ISO Standard ISO 32000-1) can have the well-formed structure tree. I can 'build' such a PDF that starts as PDF version 1.4 via Acrobat 5, do some additional post-processing with Acrobat XI Pro which, via a Save As puts the PDF into a new "version" and *not* adversely affect content streams / structure tree.  Your post-processing is what is changing the "guts" not the save to a different version.

  • How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    I am running Windows 7 and I needed to create an unprivileged user on my computer. When I open a PDF file, it almost instantly crashes (I can view the document for about three seconds). If I simply open Adobe Reader without a PDF and click Edit -> Preferences, it crashes. If I open a PDF in any browser, it crashes.
    From what I have been able to surmise, it seems that Adobe Reader is trying to read the registry of my privileged user. I have tried uninstalling Adobe Reader, temporarily giving privileges to my unprivileged user, installing Adobe Reader on that user, and then remove the permissions, but the crash still occurs. The only way to stop Adobe Reader from crashing is to start the program as an administrator or change the account type to administrator. How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    It said "Adobe Reader has stopped working" soon after I opened it, but I was still able to scroll down the document. It was only once I pressed Close Program that it stopped working.
    Upon trying it a second time, it immediately stopped letting me scroll down when the program crashed. Here is the error log, I receive the exact same exception code every time:
    Application Error

  • How can I install Adobe Flash Media live encoder on a G5 power pc?

    How can I install Adobe Flash Media live encoder on a G5 power pc?

    Unfortunately, you can't.  When FMLE was initially released in 2007, Apple had already transitioned to using Intel processors in their computers.  Your PowerPC processor isn't compatible with software written for an Intel processor.  From Adobe's website, the (5 year-old) FMLE v. 3.2 has these system hardware requirements for the Apple platform:
    • 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor
    • Mac OS X v10.5.6
    • 1GB of RAM
    • 50MB of available hard-disk space (excludes archived FLV and F4V files)
    • 1024x768 screen resolution
    • QuickTime compatible audio/video capture devices
    • QuickTime 7 software or later

    You cannot.  Adobe does not make it for ipad.
    This has been discussed over and over and over and over and over and over again on these forums.  Please do a forums search - right side of this page.
    There is no need to add yet another thread on this very tired subject.
    Adobe has announces d that they are selling a platforms that will allow ipad users to view flash content.  This is nothing that users will have.  The developer of the video will have to do this.

  • How can I transfer Adobe Acrobat from my old PC to my New PC?

    How can I transfer Adobe Acrobat from my old Laptop to my new laptop?

    You have to deactivate and uninstall on the old system and then reinstall on the new system. Whether it works depends on the Acrobat version (looks like you indicated AAX) and OS. You need to be sure to update after the new install. Just transferring files like you imply you want to do is not possible with almost any modern software. The software not only loads files, but sets all sorts of registry entries that would take a lot of time to find. In the past there were some programs that supposedly tried to move programs, but I have not seen mention of one in years.

    How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? 
    To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
    All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
    (Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
    Thanks for any thoughts.

    I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
    I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
    I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

  • How can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field?

    how can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field and Select-options Field?

    make it invisible, make it inactive, make it display only.
    if the field is not there or not to be seen the user WILL have problems inputting data.
    BUT once the field is there you can NOT prevent that the user fills it with data.
    all you can do is on PAI check if the data the user inputted was good or bad, and clear his inputs, but you can NOT prevent him inputting something.

  • How can I prevent my iPhone4 from starting after connecting to Power?

    How can I prevent my iPhone4 from starting (booting) after connecting to Power?

    You can't so far as I know. You can however, shut it down after it's connected to power and it should not power back on as long as it's connected. If the power is disconnected/reconnected, it will power back on.
    If you just want to avoid calls, etc. while it's plugged in, you could just put it in airplane mode.

  • How can i prevent my pro from over heating?

    How can i prevent my pro from over heating?

    Don't use the computer in your lap, or on a blanket or pillow. The case bottom is part of the heat dissipation system so it needs air underneath. If you must use the computer in your lap, get a lapboard. There are cheap, even more so if you make one yourself.
    If the computer is a older MBP with silver keys, avoid "clamshell" mode when using an external monitor. Those models let a lot of heat escape through the keyboard. The black-key Unibody versions don't seem to rely so much on the keyboard as a vent.
    Like eww said, what feels hot to you may not threaten the computer's well-being. Get a temperature monitoring utility. I like this one:
    http://bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html
    It runs politely in the background and puts the readout in the menubar:
    so you don't have to invoke Dashboard like some other temp monitors require. As Dashboard loads all its widgets as soon as it's invoked, the extra widget processes can run up the temps and you don't get a true average use temp.
    If you use Dashboard a lot, those processes stay active after the first launch and can eat processor cycles as well as increase temps. I use DashQuit, a widget that shuts down Dashboard when I'm done without requiring a computer restart. It's here:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/dashquit_berenguierduncan.html
