How do i fix a flash "plug-in container" issue (ff indicates most recent version is installed)

Hello. to start with im not really up on the ins and outs of ff, ive used it for a while but not really tinkered with till this problem
Im running Vista (no comments on that please :p) and the latest version of as downloaded from the mozilla website (3.6 something)
my plug-ins are (version number):
2007 MS Office system (12.0.4518.1014),
Bio3D (12.0.0.733) - this comes with ChemDraw i think,
ChemDraw (12.0.0.733),
getPlusPlus for Adobe 16287 (1.6.2.87),
Java Deployment Toolkit (6.0.210.6),
Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U21 (6.0.210.6),
MS Office Live Plug-in for FF (2.0.4024.1),
MS (R) WMP FF plug-in (1.0.0.8),
Mozilla Default Plug-in (1.0.0.15),
Novell iPrint Plug-in (5.3.0.0),
Novell iPrint Scriptable Plug-in 1.0 (5.3.0.0),

Shockwave Flash (10.1.53.64),
Silverlight P-in (4.0.50524.0),
Windows Presentation Foundation (3.5.30729.1).
Ive been on numerous fix-it sites but cant find a solution i understand or can get to work. the problem still occurs in safe mode and with only shockwave flash enabled (this seems to be the issue) and after numerous reinstalls, i have also deleted all i can find of adobe and shockwave then reinstalled to no avail :(
Whats chrome like?
Thank you muchly

hi all - I have a similar problem with flash - basically the plugin crashes pretty much every time I am not looking at it directly (playing online games in tabs for example)
I have tried disabling the "memory-safe-away-time-out thingee" in config:about - to no avail. I have also tried disabling all other plugins (not that I actually have many - Java, VLC, quicktime, some windows stuff), have set themes to default, have made sure all plugins are latest version.
currently running the 4.0.b2 Firefox version cause of the plug in crashes in the 3.6.8 version - same problem though.
and where it gets really strange is that a friendly help person on the adobe site suggested I upgrade my firefox to version 3.8 (while I was on the 3.6.8 version) and that would fix it. which I thought was.. interesting as 3.6.8 is the latest version as Firefox upgrade check insisted.
by now i have invested at least 4 days trying to fix this issue and I gotta say... I am tempted to actually try other browsers, though firefox is my default browser since years.

  • How do I fix? Flash videos like YouTube won't play sound on MAC OSX 10.5.8

    Sound won't play on YouTube and other flash web based videos on my MAC OSX 10.5.8 So I installed the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player and it still doesn't work. I uninstalled and reinstalled adobe flash player. Nada. I updated my computer software and firmware. Still nothing. I checked my sound and apple movie trailers play just fine.  Please assist.
    Thanks so much!!!!
    Oh, I have tried to play videos in both Safari and Firefox. No sound in both.

    Yay!!!! My business partner @goodbadtech (on twitter) fixed it.  Apple repair fixed it. Just got it back this morning. Then I updated Adobe flash as Mozilla asked me to do and the sounds disappeared again! Was so frustrated.  But Spencer found this link and that saved the day :-)

  • Flash 5.5 - not saving most recent version?

    This is really bizarre, and is difficult to describe, so bear with me a moment.
    I have a recurring file for a client that I update every month. I create a version in English, publish it, get approval from the client, etc. Then I open that file, save it with a new name, and replace the text with translated Chinese. I save that file and publish it. This is where the weird stuff happens. The published SWF is correct (it has the Chinese translation), but when I open the saved FLA, it is back to the English version. It actually has some Chinese in it, but not much.
    This has happened three times now. The first time, I thought I was crazy and somehow forgot to save the file or something. The second time it happened I knew it wasn't me. The third time, today, I was watching very closely and making sure of each step.
    The published SWF was saved at 10:22AM 10/31/2011 (same with the report and html)
    The FLA was saved at 10:22AM 10/31/2011 (I actually saved it after I published)
    Yet they don't reflect the same contents and the updates that I made.
    It appears that when I save my file, it isn't saving the most recent version or something. Some of the changes I'm making are saved, but not all of them. The published files reflect all of the work however.
    Any ideas on what I might be missing here?
    EDIT: Just had a thought that maybe this has something to do with auto-saving? Looking at the file closely, the Chinese updates that are there are the first ones I made, then the rest looks like the untouched English version. The modified dates on the files would say no, since they are the same and appear accurate to when i actually intended to save the file. I haven't found the auto-saving preferences yet, so I haven't investigated very far. Just a thought.

    Hi JeffCulbertson,
    Please send me a zip file, change .zip extension to .zzz, and email the attachment to my attention at [email protected]
    I'll take a look and see  why your file changes are not being saved . Please also include the exact steps on how I can replicate the reverting issue
    By the way, did you install our latest update for Flash CS5.5 (11.5.1.349) ?
    To check and see if you have the latest update, open the Flash about box (Help > About Adobe Flash Professional). With the latest update  you should see version 11.5.1.349. This update was released in September.
    We have made  made some  changes  in this update to address this reverting issue.

  • I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac.  All the music is still available on my ipad.  How can i download the music on my mac?

    I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac.  All the music is still available on my ipad.  How can i download the music on my mac?

    First, are you positive it is really not there?  Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
    If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup.  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    I need to know how to delete the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded it tonight and my computer doesn't have that little edit bar to work with so I can download the proper Adobe player and my internet has been screwed up ever since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I just want the old version of it back since I apparently can't download the Adobe stuff that is necessary to keep my computer safe from Hackers. It sure would have been nice to know there was an issue with the new Firefox Update BEFORE I uploaded it. I have Vista which is usually an issue with both Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run much of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I have also noticed all my settings won't stay set, example....I removed the check mark from "third party cookies", the when I close Firefox and reopen the check mark is back, also my tool bar has screwed up....can't reset, been having trouble the up grade.

  • How can I fix red flashing tint in new iMovie?

    I imported a .mov file into the new imovie version and now I am getting a red flashing tint....how can i fix this??

    dasacom,
    In addition to what imagecollection said, the Live Rectangle bug is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks) or 10.10 (Yosemite). Hopefully, the bug will be fixed soon.
    So a switch to Mavericks or Yosemite with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
    To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool or the Free Transform Tool.
    A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

    That's the version you seem to be running, which is the latest. Although there doesn't seem to be a need for it, you can download the full 27.0.1 setup file, exit Firefox, then install on top of your current version.
    * http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
    If you run into the same problem, then I suggest disabling your security software before running the setup file and re-enabling it afterwards.

    Updating Firefox doesn't normally affect your bookmarks. To back them up, you can export them in HTML format as described below.

  • TS3694 how can i fix an apple support error 2 issue

    my computer lets me install itunes however it say i cant run it because i need apple app support. how can i fix this error?

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version). If the following link takes you to the WinRAR home page rather than the WinRAR downloads page, click the Downloads header in the box at the left of the WinRAR home page to see the trial version downloads:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
