How to fix Shockwave Flash version 11.6 r602 Causing Firefox to Crash?

I just loaded windows 8 onto my system and placed Firefox version 19. as my web browser and went to Youtube and updated flash to the Version it was looking for which in this case is 11.6 r602 and now everywhere that I go on the web the plug in pops up says it fails and locks up my firefox. I have done what the suggestions have said
1. Made sure system was up to date 2. Lowered hardware and flash acceleration 3. changed firefox settings 4. have done numerous re-installs of firefox and flash
I had to start using google chrome Please help I like fire fox better

I had no problems with version 20.0.1 on a windows 7 64 bit computer until upgraded shockwave flash to version 11.7.700.169 now the browser crashes have to disable the plugin.
It appears that this is a common problem and needs a solution not a work around, as most people are not computer literate, and what happens if a fix occurs does one have to go back and undo the work around.
Messing about with the operating system or SW is certainly not the answer.

How to fix, shockwave flash crashes (a lot)

Hi
What to do...
I have Vista ultimate and Firefox.
Two days ago Shockwave flash started crashing (the popup said it had stopped working). When the plugin crashes it freezes Firefox and the plugin crashed so often that in order to use Firefox I have had to completely disable Shockwave.
I have tried reinstalling the Shockwave plugin but no improvement. I never realized how much web content uses Shockwave flash...
The plugin crashes on practically everything that's it would be involved in running (except Utube, that works, I don't know if the plugin is involved in playing utube videos).
Any and all suggestions are appreciated...
Regards
Bob

Shockwave Flash 10.2.153.1 causes FF4 to crash.

I downloaded FF4 and immediately began having problems as soon as I get on to websites such as Youtube, CNN, or similar sites that contain video. FF4 would crash, but nothing showed up the about:crashes page. I realized that it must be my Windows Vista causing the crash, as the error was a "Firefox has stopped working." message that forced me to close FF4.
My next step was to go and disable all add-ons and extensions, and of course it ended up that now FF4 ran fine. So I went one by one and enabled each one until I found the problem, which was Shockwave Flash 10.2.152.32 (10.2 r153). When this plug-in is enabled, FF4 crashes constantly. When this plug-in is disabled, FF4 works fine. However, with this plugin disabled, I am unable to view any videos on websites such as Youtube.
I tried downloading the newest Flash, hoping that would solve the problem. It did not. My plug-in (which I obviously still have to keep disabled) is now version Shockwave Flash 10.2.153.1. I don't understand why this is all going on, I have never once had a problem with anything Firefox until the FF4 update and it is VERY frustrating. Please help!

Try reinstalling the previous version of Flash - 10.1 r 102 and get rid of that 10.2 r152 version.

What is the proper way to fix the Flash Plug-in issue that causes Firefox to hang when playing Flash videos

This is annoying and causing me to set my default to Chrome. Firefox hangs when playing Flash. I have tirelessly tried everything I could. Uninstalling Flash via the Adobe download. Uninstalling FF and every single one of it's folders. I've done it all, multiple times....and continue to have the exact same problem, any Flash video hangs. Please help, I have read countless articles about others having this same problem, yet nobody offers a real solution.

How to fix the " flashing question mark after the finder icon when starting up" withou an apple keyboard?

Hi
I am wondering How to fix the " flashing question mark after the finder icon when starting up" without an apple keyboard. I have 2 of those .7Ghz emacs so just wanna fix them
Thx

Hi,
>I am using a wireless standard keyboard so maybe the emac doesn't regognise it
Installation of driver software may be required. Do not expect any wireless device to automatically work with a Mac unless guaranteed to do so. In a case like this, use a wired USB keyboard (a PC keyboard should be OK) and a wired mouse to begin with.
>I have installed Ubuntu 13.00 on the HDD from another computer.
Is it a version for PowerPC?

How to make adobe flash player always on in the firefox?

I have a desktop pc with OS windows 7. I used daily firefox about 7 hours and more. Everytime i open firefox and go for the search page like youtube and videos sites an authorization noticed me to confirm to Allow adobe flash player. And also open a new tab and go the video sites also asks the same everytime i switced allow to adobe flash player to works. How i resolve this problem. And how to switch always adobe flash player to be on.

Your Shockwave Flash plugin probably is set to "Ask to Activate" (which means, click to play). You could try switching it to "Always Activate" on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
If Firefox only offers the options of "Ask to Activate" and "Never Activate" then most likely the version you have is on the "block list." This is a regularly updated list of add-ons that are either out-of-date or malicious. If you can approve the plugin to run as needed, then it is a "soft block" that eventually will turn into a hard block where you will not be able to enable it at all.
I realize Flash 11.3 and higher can create a lot of problems in Firefox. Most of these are due to the protected mode feature. If you eventually have to update, the following pages provide different ways to disable the feature:
* Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
* Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
* Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078

How to Fix Frozen iWeb Version 1.1.2

Heres a way to fix frozen iWeb Version 1.1.2. This way works with 1.1.2 and i'v only tested using v1.1.2 it might work with 1.1.1 and im not sure if your verion is v.1.1.1 just update to 1.1.2 and if it still not work use this way
You need to...
Right click on iWeb go show package contents. go in to contents and you will see a version.plist open that with textedit you will see this with some more information at the top don't worry about this.
<key>BuildVersion</key>
<string>5</string>
<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
--> <string>1.1.2</string>We want to look at this string
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>189</string>
we want to look at the <string>1.1.2</string> this will vary with what version you have it will if you have Version 1.1.2 you need to change this string to <string>1.1.0</string>. save and download the 1.1.1 update from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/iweb111.html
And install update and done!
Tihs is done by tricking iWeb thinking its version 1.1.0 when its not so you can install an update to it.

Shockwave flash causes firefox 4 crash

shockwave flash causes firefox 4 hangs. it happens whether using the latest or the previous version of flash. removing flash solves the problem but removing flash is not a solution. this happens on a computer with Windows 7. However on another computer with XP this does not happen.

#Download a copy of Flash from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and save it to your desktop.
#Then download the [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html Flash Uninstaller]
#Close Firefox via File | Exit
#Run the uninstaller to remove Flash from Firefox. It will also remove it from IE.
#Reboot
#Run the Flash installer you downloaded to your desktop earlier (do not start Firefox). This will install it on Firefox only.
#Open IE and go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and choose Run when you see the prompt.
#Test the installation in both Firefox and IE by going to: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Shockwave flash causes Firefox to crash

My Firefox crashes when trying to open 75% of web pages. I get the windows standard "Firefox is not responding" window after it freezes while trying to load the page.
I have singled out the problem to be the Shockwave Flash (11.5.502.149) plugin as everything works correctly with this disabled.
I have tried updated flash, uninstalling and re-installing it and the same with FF but nothing seems to work so far.

Ok, ever since I installed Firefox 20, I continually get "Shockwave plug in is not responding". And, yes I've tried everything that has been suggested. Now what?

Latest Flash plugin causes firefox to crash when printing

Firefox will crash anytime I attempt to print a webpage. It doesn't happen in safemode. Disabling the Adobe Flash Plugin removes the problem. The Flash Plugin is the current version from adobe.

Tylerdowner,
Uninstalled and reinstalled Flash. No change. The only thing that seems to consistently resolve the problem is disabling the Flash plugin.
I tried creating a new profile, but when I transfer the data suggested in this:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
I get an error window when opening firefox with the new profile ...something about security settings not working correctly...but I can print every time even though the Flash plugin appears to be installed and enabled. So I assume there is some kind of problem with my current profile. Any suggestions on how to find and correct it or a way to get most of my data into a new profile...that works...would be appreciated.

7/1/13 Microsoft Update KB6270838 causes Firefox to crash. Only works in safe mode. Fix inside.

How to fix:
Uninstall Microsoft Update KB6270838 by going to Control Panel
Click Windows Update
Click View Update History
Click Installed Updates
Navigate to the area called Microsoft Windows and find the update KB6270838
Doubleclick and select Uninstall.
restart and everything will work again.

Adobe Flash XI repeatedly causes Firefox to crash

I'm running Firefox 20.0.1 on Windows 7. Flash XI frequently, but not always or consistently, causes a particular website to crash and sometimes causes Firefox to stop responding. Sometimes when Firefox stops responding I have to use the Task Manager to shut it down; other times it starts responding after a few seconds. The website is an important one I visit daily so there may be others I'm not aware of. The problem began two or three months ago (I always install updates). I can't force t to happen. When it happens I can get one of two prompts: "A script on this page... or A movie on this page... is causing Flash to run showly" followed by the options of waiting or stopping the script. Any suggestions?

Install Flash Player in Safe Mode.
Shut down the computer.
Press the power button. Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup,but not before the startup sound.
Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo on the screen. Startup will take longer than usual.
Login to your account. Launch Safari.
Enter this address in the Safari address bar manually. Click Enter.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Follow the prompts. Install Flash Player.
Once done, quit Safari and restart the computer from  in the menu bar.
