Lion 10.7.4 Flash Plugin Crashes

I am using a mid 2009 Macbook pro, and just updated to 10.7.4. Since doing this my Flash plugin crashes on both Safari and Firefox so I can't even load Youtube videos.
I've got the most updated version of Firefox and Flash player, and after looking through forums have tried rebooting my Macbook several times. Each time I reboot Youtube videos load a little bit more without crashing, but I havn't got more than 5 seconds into a video yet.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi...
Quit your browsers.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Flash plugin crashes after Lion 10.7.4 update

Has any one had this most recent Flash related problem?
After updating my system to 10.7.4, the flash plugin crashes in both Safari and Firefox. Videos don;t so much as start.
I reverted back to 10.7.3 with time machine and flash workes fine again. Reinstalled the update, and broken again.
Safari and Firefox are all up to date as well as the flash plugin. All caches have been cleared. Based on info I have gotten from this and other forums, I have checked all the settings in the flash system preferences.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I've had a similar problem. On my first boot up after installing 10.7.4, Firefox would not open. Crashed every time. Safari was not affected. I have no idea if it was related to the flash plugin, but I did install a the latest version of that a couple of weeks ago.
Here's what fixed it: a second boot up.

FireFox opens & Adobe Flash Plugin crashes in a WOT "automatic" download.

WOT “automatically downloads” on a separate tab every time I start FireFox. Almost every time I start FireFox the Adobe Flash Plugin crashes in the WOT automatic download and ties up my PC. The problem does not occur with Internet-Explorer which I seldom use.
1- I removed WOT and re-installed it, but it continued the same.
2- I reinstalled the Adobe Flash Plugin which I always keep up to date.
3- Please work this out.
4- Why must WOT automatically download on a separate tab every time I start FireFox? It is very annoying.
Thank you for all you do. Have a blessed day, Steve Lahey.

When I try to print coupons, I get a message that the coupon printer plugin has crashed. I've tried following the instructions for when the Adobe Flash plugin crashes, but reloading the page does not work. Just sits there for 5 minutes doing nothing.

Happens when going to print.coupons.com. I click the "learn more" button on the message that the plugin has crashed, and I get sent to the Adobe Flash plugin crash info page on Firefox. They say just to reload the page. There is a button for this. I click it and the page tries to reload for 5 minutes before freezing.

Firefox 16.0.1 Crashes, Not Responding with Unresponsive Script Warnings and Adobe Flash Plugin Crashes

Hello,
I'm experiencing some issues with Firefox 16.0.1 which I had also experienced with Firefox 15.0.1.
On numerous occasions Firefox has crashed while attempting to access a website link contained in an AOL e-mail message.
Unrelated to that issue, Firefox has hung up frequently with associated unresponsive script warnings and occasionally with the Adobe Flash Plugin crashing. Some of the unresponsive script warnings are:

I've reset Firefox and disabled all the plugins and yet these problems persist.
What are those script warnings actually telling me and are there any recommendations on how to resolve these issues?
Thank you,
Mike

You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Adobe flash plugin crash

While trying to play a game on facebook called "FrontierVille" I always get "adobe flash plugin crashed". I have uninstalled and re-installed the adobe flash player but to no avail. All the other games like "Farmville" work fine.
Can anyone help me out?

Try disabling hardware acceleration. If that does not solve the problem, you have to post some more information like
your operating system and version
your web browser(s) and version(s)
your Flash Player version

On Paltalk Express,the Adobe Flash plugin crashes when logging in

The Paltalk Express page loads,but when I try to login,the Adobe Flash plugin crashes.

I'm running on Ubuntu 9.10 with Firefox 3.6.10.
thanks to the first post, i didn't downgrade Firefox to 3.5 but i did download 3.5.
Here is what i did:
I downloaded 3.5.13 : http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
The link to 3.5.13 is on the right under Other Versions.
Once you click on FF 3.5.13, it'll take you to all different languages of 3.5.13.
I got the English version. The name of the file is : firefox-3.5.13.tar.bz2
Once downloaded, i opened the location of the file( Downloads folder) and opened the package by double clicking on it. YOur 9.10 should be able to recognize bz2 format and you will see a folder called Firefox in the archive.
Simply, extract the folder and place it on your desktop.
IF you want to run FF3.5.13, close all firefox browsers that are already opened.
Once this is done, Open the folder "Firefox" that you just extracted and double click on the file firefox. It should ask you to run, display, run in terminal... simply press run.
This is how i got it to work. simple steps. to confirm it is working, check the version of firefox and try paltalk express

Firefox Flash plugin crashes when FF launched with "Run as different user"

I often start Firefox in Windows 7 (x64) using the "Run as different user" mechanism. After upgrading my Flash plugin to v11 (11.8.800.94), the browser will hang for several minutes when visiting any page that contains Flash content. When Firefox becomes responsive again, scrolling a page with Flash content will cause the app to hang again. Disabling the Flash plugin eliminates the problem.
It seems the plugin is silently crashing -- I'm not alerted to a plugin crash in any way (no dialog or yellow "Flash player crashed" notice at the top of the window), but after FF hangs I will see a new crash report entry in the FF about:crashes list. An example crash report is available at https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/ff452291-b5b2-44e4-a172-416792130818
The plugin does not crash when Firefox is running under the same account that is logged onto Windows interactively -- only when running FF as a different user. For example, if I log onto Windows with user account Adam and launch FF normally, the problem does not exist. If I close FF and launch it as user Bob (shift+right-click Firefox Shortcut, choose "Run as different user"), the problem will appear. However, if I log into Windows as user Bob and launch FF normally, the problem does not exist.
I have tried the following as troubleshooting steps, all to no effect:
Create new Windows user accounts to rule out potential Windows or Firefox profile issues.
Use another PC (also Windows 7 x64). The same behavior occurs on both PCs
Disable AVG antivirus.
Upgrade Firefox to latest version (23.0.1).
Disable Flash hardware acceleration.
Give both user accounts full local admin privileges.
Can anyone suggest something to try next?
Update: Per the troubleshooting instructions at < http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 >, I was able to eliminate the problem by adding the line
ProtectedMode=0
to my C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg file to disable Flash Player Protected Mode. There are instructions on that page for submitting a Protected Mode-related bug, and I will follow through with that.

Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
so here ya go.

Is there any other solution for Adobe Flash plugin crashing than the posted one about updating Flash and Mozilla? I cannot open any PDF files online and updated both Mozilla and Flash player to most recent with no change in the crashing.

I was able to open PDFs online until version 8. Since upgrading to version 9 and now 10, I have crashes every time I try to open a PDF online and can see the form briefly for about two seconds before the plugin crashes. I followed instructions on the solution to update Adobe Flash and Mozilla, and they are both to the most recent version and it still crashes every time, no dent in the symptoms with the upgrades. I tried also downgrading to version 3, and it sill crashes. Although in some cases I can get around by saving the PDFs for reading them through Acrobat on my PC, it is a hassle as I do not want to save everything to my drive just to see what it is, plus sometimes forms are generated on a click and I cannot see these forms at all.
I had to migrate to Chrome as I needed the PDFs and could not wait any longer - any suggestions to make Mozilla work again would be appreciated.

Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] after enabling only the PDF plugin in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Plugins'''. You can also '''Disable''' the PDF plugin and try an alternative, for eg. [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfjs/?src=cb-dl-created pdf.js].

Adobe Flash Plugin Crash in Firefox and IE

About a week ago my firefox and internet explorer browsers haven't been able to play any flash movies. For example, I go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flash.html and click play on the main video section that pops up and the adobe flash plugin has crashed screen appears.
I also uninstalled and reinstalled flash to the newest version and back to version 10.3 as well and both of these things did not fix the problem.
Please let me know if you need any other info to help fix the problem. I appreciate the help!

Lion 10.7.4 Flash Player Crashes

I am using a late 2008 Mac pro, was running 10.6.8, and all good when visitng flash sites (youtube, vimeo, etc.) Well the other day I upgrade to 10.7.4 and Flash player crashes. In all broswers.
I have tried:
Uninstalling and re-installing the newest Flash player
Installing an older version
Downloading an Adobe debugger
Reisntalling Lion
Reinstalling Web Browsers
PRAM reset
and more.
Any help on fixing this?

Yes I am. I still keep getting the crash error. I have tried everything at this point. But it started when I upgraded to Lion

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

Flash plugin crashes constantly

I just purchased a HP laptop with Windows 7 Home. 64 bit.
When i first booted it up, I installed firefox and google chrome, both the newest versions. I logged onto facebook, and could do everything just fine. Played 4 different games that use flash and they ran perfectly.Worked for roughly 2 hours.
Then suddenly it stopped. I got the grey screen that says "the adobe flash plugin has crashed" I've sent like 6 error reports. I tried it in IE8 (both 32 and 64 bit), FF 3.6.8, and Google Chrome (both of those 32 bit, since flash player doesnt work with 64 bit) (whatever the latest version is for chrome as i already uninstalled it in frusrtation) and it freezes and/or crashes as soon as the game loads. It even freezes when I go to adobe's pages to check my version of flash. It's WIN 10,1,82,76, though ive had to load the page about 4 times to scribble that down since it crashes.
I've looked up every help file I can. I've cleared cache, checked cookie settings, made sure all pop up blockers are disabled, turned off all security settings and firewalls. I've unstalled and reinstalled flahs player at least 6 times and uninstalled and reinstalled firefox 3 times. I went into the about:config settings and adjusted the timeout to -1 rather than the default 45....which did nothing except keep the page frozen then giving me the gray screen which at least let me go to a different webpage.
I've turned off hardware accelaration in the flash settings as well.
I've rebooted and computer on 4 occasions now, and even shut it down and left it sit for 6 hours just in case it just needed a rest. Still nothing, and I'm getting desparate, as I have never had this problem before on any machine I have run. I thought maybe it was a firefox issue however it's happenening on IE and chrome, I just dont get the handy "error report" page since it appears that is a firefox feature. IE and chrome just freeze, leaving me no option but to go into task manager and cancel them or reboot. Both scenarios I have left the screen alone for half an hour in case it was being REALLLLLLLY slow. No luck.

BAD ATTITUDE...the poor frustrated guy cant get a fix, and you are p*ssed at him for being frustrated....I appreciate that you are trying to help, but if you cant fix it easily you give up....how about you spend some time like I did and get intouch with Adobe to remind them that their users are having a lot of issues with Flash that they are not addressing?...may save you some time helping in the long run....unless you enjoy the suffering of others!
