How to stop Flash player from incessently crashing.

Your help page gives a FP icon and says to right click it to get to settings so I can turn off something. However, right clicking does not work on your web page. Since I need to get to the settings to shut off auto scaling, I tried starting a FP movie and right clicking but none of the options was for "settings". So, now what should I do? Not sure that removing the auto scaling will solve this incessant problem but I'd like to try it. How do I get to FP setting without the two (failed) methods, above?s
I have uninstalled and reinstalled but that was no help. I have Win8.1 on a Surface Pro using FP 16. I have downloaded and reinstalled numerous times. The error message is the typical Adobe FB message. I often click on report before I restart the program.
Also, can you recommend a Flash Player replacement, assuming this problem is unresolvable (it has been several weeks now and it is getting worse)? Thanks,
Dan Morgan

I have had a similar problem, it's been going on for more than a year, and it is driving me CRAZY! It makes accessing the internet a crapshoot. Sometimes Flash will play nice, but never for more than a day at a time. Then it freezes, or crashes, or just sllllloooooowwwwwsdown to a crawl, teetering on the edge of crashing like a circus high wire stunt, thus making accessing even simple emails nearly impossible. It in essence has hijacked my computer.
I have Version 40.0.2214.111 m I've tried the about:plugins and disabled the conflicting Flash plugin. I have tried do hard disc scans and repairs, malware scans, virus scans, disabling virus software, I've followed this step and that, laid out in a form of Tech-English that's a foreign language to me. I clean my cache every two days, I've done half a dozen system\ restores -- nothing -- NOTHING has worked so far. Trying to find help for this like pulling teeth without Novacaine. It seems no one else in the world except me has ever heard of this problem, never mind experienced it.
If I can't find a solution by March 1, I'm ditching Chrome/Flash, plugging my nose, and going over to IE

How to stop flash player showing errors?

Hi, does anyone know how to stop flash player showing runtime
errors? Is there some configuration option, or is it possible to
write a global error handler which would catch all the uncaught
exceptions so they don't get displayed to the users?
In my specific situation I've got 3rd party panorama
component in my flash site which creates some timers and listeners
but doesn't remove them when panorama is unloaded and then errors
keep showing periodically. Nothing else gets harmed and the site
keeps running normally, so it would be useful to just hide those
errors before a new version of the buggy component is released.
Thanks for any hint how to handle this !

How Do I Stop Flash Player From Storing Cache?

Windows XP SP3
Latest Flash Player (i just upgraded it to the latest as of today)
There are a couple of directories on my HDD that appear to be the place where Flash stores cache.
One of them is (#1):
c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache\
The other is (#2):
c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#sharedobjects
These directories were so bloated with subdirectories that it literally took about 12 HOURS OR MORE to delete everything in them! I'm not kidding.
There must have been 100,000 subfolders or maybe even more in these folders. They were choking everything on my computer that had to read past them.
I FINALLY was able to delete everything from them after hours of work.
Now I want to keep them empty, so this doesn't happen again but I can't find out how to do that. It is so dang frustrating. I looked and looked for a way to shut this storage off.
I finally found the online "Settings Manager" and thought I FINALLY solved the problem after setting the "Global Storage" setting to "Never" and unchecking the "Allow third party Flash content to be stored on your computer" and "Store common Flash components to reduce download times" boxes.
BUT NO!!!
It didn't do a thing. I looked at those two folders again and they are still being filled up with new subfolders!!!!
UUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
How do I keep Flash Player from storing this unwanted mess on my computer?!
Thank you for ANY HELP!

PS:
Before I set the global settings as I stated above, I DELETED all the "Websites already visited" from the list in Settings Manager so that ALL Websites would be set according to the global settings.
But none of that did a thing to stop the new folders from being created anyway. How do I stop them??!!!

How to Stop Flash Video from Downloading

Greetings,
Can anyone tell me how to configure Flash video from
automatically beginning the download process as soon as the page
loads? I've set autoPlay to false, so it does stop on the first
frame. But I can still see the download progress bar when it should
wait for a click.
Thanks

Is this one of those questions you guys get tired of
answering? ;-)
I've reviewed the answers for similar questions, but found
none that fully addressed my issue. If you could refer me to a
post, or an Adobe tutorial that deals with this head on, I would
really appreciate it.
Thanks.

How can I stop flash player from randomly switching between audio devices in Win7?

I have two audio devices in my machine. The internal onboard Realtek (optical out -> surround setup) + Line6 UX1, external usb (for guitar inputs/amp sim).
I switch between them as needed. The flash player does this too, but always when I don't need it to.
Example. A youtube video finishes. The sound came from the speakers, as it should. I click the next one. It starts playing but there's no sound - except from the headphones connected to the UX1. This happens once or twice a day.
Does anyone know what's going on?
Chrome, Win7 64bit.

I don't know what more we can do other than to enter a bug at bugbase.adobe.com and have someone take a look. I suspect switching interfaces while Flash is in use will be unsupported. In the bug report, it'll be good to note if this is new behavior (ie. it started behaiving like this in 11.3, but 11.2 and older were fine). However, the key to getting this fixed will be to get other users running into the same problem to vote for the bug.
You might also want to play around with third party mixers, like http://www.actualsolution.com/power_mixer/

How to remove Flash Player from Windows 2012 R2?

We don't use any of our server to navigate websites and we don't install any third party softwares. Windows 2012 R2 comes with flash player which we don't need and we definitely wanna remove that software. How can I remove it?

A little more information to possibly close this out.
The patch you are wondering about - 2942844 - was superceded by 2755801 on May 13. Since my tests were after that, they would be getting the new patch and not the old patch. Evidently the new patch did not contain 'Adobe Flash' in the title.
Furthermore, what the patch is doing is patching Adobe Flash libraries used by Internet Explorer. It it not patching an installation of Adobe Flash. Those libraries are part of the Windows distribution to allow for use of Adobe Flash by the browser
without the need to install Flash on the system.
Ergo, Adobe Flash, as stated from the beginning, is not part of the Windows Server distribution. But there are libraries that Adobe provides in the distribution.
In the future, if you have questions about what's happening, Microsoft documents every patch in pretty minute detail. My bad for not looking at the detailed information in the first place. To look up any security advisory with the detailed information,
modify this URL -
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/2755801 - replacing the seven digits at the end with the KB number.

How to stop Adobe Flash plugin from repeatedly crashing Firefox?

How to stop Adobe Flash plugin from repeatedly crashing Firefox?

yeah, having the same problem.
Hulu is working on my internet explorer 8, tho... Interesting thing is that it detected I didn't have the 10.1 version of adobe flash player even though I just downloaded that on firefox. So MAYBE the problem is between firefox and adobe. Just a guess

How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?

How do I stop Quicktime player from auto-launching after I've exported a movie from iMovie 10?
It's really annoying for Quicktime player to auto-lauch!

It may not be that simple David. They're using a "server" and some of the Apache software may want to launch QuickTime at boot.
This isn't really a QuickTime question. It's a sever question best answered in those Discussion pages.

Flash Player 10.1 crashes with IE7, IE8 & FF3.6.6

Hello! First I'd like to say you all are providing excellent information and help here. I've read some answers and am very impressed with the time you take to help Adobe product users. Maybe you can help me too! *hopes*
I have read a couple of the threads to see what I need to provide here. I hope I give all the needed information. First of all, I sound kind of like the user 'Carol' who uses Farmville/Facebook and updated to Internet Explorer 8, Flash Player 10.1 and there was another program she mentioned. Anyway, my problem is similar except FP 10.1 crashes while using FF3.6.6, IE7 or IE8. I have also reverted back to FP 9 (just to test the browsers) with same results - player crashes. I have not run my SuperAntispyware to see if a virus could be the issue - although I am suspecting it is Not since so many others are experiencing problems with FP also. My SuperAntispyware virus protection does not protect real time so there is nothing to disable regarding that. When I'm using IE I do keep Protected Mode On. If you would like me to try a game session with it Off, I can try that and provide you with the results, however FF has been my browser of choice lately, but now it is failing me too with the FP.
The sites I am having trouble with are Shockwave.com and BigSeagames.com (instead of Facebook & Farmville like Carol is/was having). There are certain games at Shockwave and BigSeas that crash consistently. Another player at BigSeas was told to not use IE, and to try FF. So I did just that. It worked for awhile, but then FP started crashing as well. I have searched FF, Microsoft and now Adobe for help with this FP problem. It consistently keeps crashing.
You can freely go to Firefox browser and type in the ID for my FF crash reports (listed below) - in the FF browser type about:crashes in address bar; on the resulting screen you can paste in the report numbers, if there is time to look at a couple. I won't include all the reports, unless you specify that you need them. Today I have had the most crashes - 12 total! I have always been an IE-girl (lol) just because I was so use to it. I don't really care what browser I use as long as it works!
Thanks for any help you can give and I look forward to hearing from someone. ~Mindy

I've had this problem with Flash Player 10.1 crashing constantly in Firefox 3.6.6 since July 4th weekend. I eventually installed version 3.6.3 and it stopped happening.
Once I installed FF version 3.6.8 this morning, the problem came back.
I tried this solution and it seems to be working so far (keep your fingers crossed!)
(from: http://www.technogadge.com/how-to-stop-firefox-plugin-container-exe-process/)
Steps to stop plugin-container.exe process:
Open Firefox web browser.
Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter key.
A warning will appear. Ignore it and press the "I’ll be careful, I promise!" button.
In the Filter field type dom.ipc. Six preferences will appear for the filter dom.ipc.
Ignore first and last preferences. Toggle (double-click) each of the four remaining preferences to change the value from "true" to "false".
That’s it. Look the screenshot.
Explanation: The crash protection feature in Firefox 3.6 is enabled for certain plugins only. The four preferences that we modified here specifies four different out-of-process plugins. They are the the NPAPI test plugin, Adobe Flash, Apple QuickTime (Windows) and Microsoft Silverlight (Windows). These plugins are specified in a separate dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.<filename> preference by default is set to true. We can disable them by changing their value to false. And thus plugin-container.exe will not run. By default the preference dom.ipc.plugins.enabled is already set to "false". So, no need to touch it. The dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs is also not important here as other values are false.

Installed and verifed but Flash Player continues to crash in Firefox. Any suggestions

Flash Player sometime activates and then crashes after a few seconds.

Thanks for responding Chris. Flash Player consistently crashes no matter what site I am in. I've tried all of the suggested fixes in Flash Player help and nothing has been successful. The computer confirms that I have downloaded the most recent file but Adobe Flash Player doesn't show in the Firfox Add Ons. I also tried Firefox flash player suggestions but none worked. It crashes no matter what page I am on. If flash player is required, it crashes. It also crashes in Internet Explorer. I am a novice so please bear with me. Thanks for any help you can offer.

created by chris.campbell in Using Flash Player - View the full discussionHello,I'm sorry you're encountering these problems. I'll try what I can to help. 1. Have you tried any browser other than Firefox? It would be helpful to know if these same types of crashes occur with Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.2. Did this crashing behavior just start occurring? If so, was there a particular update or event that preceded the crashing?3. Does the crashing happen consistently? Ie. If you go to the same web page that contains Flash content, does it crash every time you visit? Does it crash when you visit this page? Flash Player Help What pages does it crash on?4. Can you visit about:crashes within Firefox and submit some of the most recent crashes. Once submitted, please post back with the crash URL's.4. Can you try resetting your Firefox profile? Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
Firefox Help5. Finally, can you try temporarily disabling protected mode to see if that makes a difference (this will be the last step in the faq)? How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox? Thanks,

Stop flash player security panel

Hi,
I want to stop flash player security panel to appear every time in my video recorder. I apply allow and remember but still popup appears. How I can stop this popup if once user chooses allow and remember?
Thanks,

The security pop-up was first introduced with FP7. If you want to bypass it I can name two ways off the top of my head:
1. Regardless of ActionScript version (2.0/3.0) in the Flash authoring enviroment, in the Publish Settings dialogue box, the Flash tab, near the bottom choose Access Network Only from Local Playback Security.
2. Publish your movie as a projector. Both of these techniques will allow to "play" your swf file locally.
