Multiple tabs with flash or heavy js crash firefox

Has been may years already that this keeps happening to me if i open around 150+ tabs (depends on the content of the tabs) or if i open 20+ tabs of youtube (might happen with other video platforms too but i haven't tested that) makes firefox crash after a brief amount of time. I've been using the same profile since mid 2012 but I do make clean new installs of firefox when a new whole version comes out. My pc hardware i think is more than suitable to be able to have that ammount of tabs open (12 GB RAM triple channel ddr3 1ghz intel i7 950 @ 3.07ghz 1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 6800 series on w7 x64).
I tried creating a new clean profile and opened 50 youtube tabs have all of them playing at the same time and even though at the start there was some kind of slowness for the firt 10 seconds then all was perfect and I tested it for like 5 mins and it didnt crash. Back with my profile I used the about:addons-memory to see fit here was any leak of memory from the addons but the addons consumption was really low. Although firefox itself with 150 tabs uses like between 900 and 1400mbs of memory. I've tried disabling all the add-ons and then enabling some to see if there was a conflictive add-on but i couldn't find whats causing the problem so i wanted to ask you guys if you could lend me a hand so i can finally can open as many tabs as i want without having to fear a crash.
Here are some crash reports

I had/still have an issue with FF which is virtually identical to this (se https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/988435?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s).
Mostly on script/flash heavy pages (like YouTube, Google Play, Twitter, etc) with only a small number of tabs will result in nearlly 1-1.2GB RAM usage and eventually crash. Having looked through older crash reports here is a list of the most common problems (Note: I recently tried a fresh install so don't have the Crash Report Numbers for these anymore):
Crash Cause
js::ScriptSource::hasSourceData() x 3
NS_ABORT_OOM(unsigned int) x 5
gfxContext::PushClipsToDT(mozilla::gfx::DrawTarget*) x 10
js::AutoCompartment::AutoCompartment(js::ExclusiveContext*, JSObject*) x 7
Of Which
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ x 21
EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT x 5
I used to be able to run FF with almost 60+ Add-ons up to 60+ Tabs and still have it work more or less OK; obviously it could be rather sluggish and was eating into 1GB RAM or so, but it at least worked. Now I can barely run it with 53 Add-ons and less than 10 Tabs for around 30 mins to 1 hour before an inevitable crash.

    Hello,
    The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

  • I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?

    I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?
    In the previous versions of Firefox when you went to you Bookmarks menu it gave you the options to either Bookmark This Page 'command' + 'D', Subscribe to this Page, Bookmark All Tabs 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'D', and Organize Bookmarks 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'B' however in the newest version of Firefox there is no Bookmark All Tabs so you can bookmark all the tabs that you have up in one window at a time. So I need to know if it is possible that the feature is now in a different place, is gone altogether, or if you can get that feature another way?
    For me personally and my work I go through hundreds of web pages a day and save around half of those so it is imperative that I be able to bookmark more then one tab at a time because I can't be bothered to bookmark every single page separately and then go through hundreds of tabs in my Unsorted bookmarks in order to sort those bookmarks. It is simple inconvenient to sort every bookmark individually that is why the previous version of Firefox with the Bookmark All Tabs button was superior in its convenience.

    Right click any tab and choose "Bookmark All Tabs".

    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

  • TitanTV listings page NOW affects my Firefox. I'd commonly run it -multiple tabs- with no problem at all. Now-- Hanging!; flash crash,etc.. What jusT changed??

    (Using WiFi and all-- library computers, etc.. I got in the habit of keeping multiple tabs open. I came to Firefox because it handled that usage much, much better than any version of IE. Running the multiple tabs of the future television listings made sense and Was very convenient.. Was. Now it seems -after eliminating other possibilities* that the TitanTV page is the cause of my Firefox Hanging.. (when open at all It slows even Other pages' scrolling..?! ) So yeah-- 'Hanging,' unresponsive page, flash/shockwave -type crashes etc. ,etc. Obviously..I don't Have to use the page.. or run it on this browser but What ALL Of A Sudden is causing this to occur?? Is it the ad content on there somehow? I'd love to find out at this point... and I do prefer this to the other browsers. [*And did follow the posted usual troubleshoots as well as uninstall/re-install on both the Firefox and antivirus (Avast), clearing the cache memory...] I'd love it if I could solve this new mystery here.... Thanks! )

    Tom, <br />
    I am glad it is working again after following Moses's advice.
    You say give us volunteers better ammunition, would help with troubleshooting. Well one thing you could have done along those lines was to follow the prompts to include full troubleshooting information in your question.
    You have marked the thread solved and so it appears running in safe mode with plugins disabled solved the issue for you. That is commonly seen in searches as a troubleshooting step because it is useful. Firefox is highly customisable something people like, but the downside is all the various addons do not always work well in every situation and combination.
    The action was only intended as a troubleshooting step, but you may well have more than one single issue here and may need further help sorting that out. I appreciate you are frustrated & not swearing '''at''' ''Moses'' but you are probably more likely to find help if you tone down the language.
    I can not be sure yet but probably most of you problems are not directly related to the upgrade of Firefox from Fx28 to Fx29.

  • TAB with Flash Player 9

    Hi,
    I am using a TAB keystroke to navigate through a series of
    interactive elements. Everything seems to be working fine with
    flash player 7.0 but once I upgrade to flash player 9.0 from
    adobe.com, the tab functionality doesnt work.
    Here to notice that the current file which is created using
    FLASH 6 AS1.0 and published in FLASH 8 for FP 6 AS1.0 having this
    issue. All other files which were published earlier working as
    expected.
    Is this any issue with FP9 or do i need to make some changes
    for FP9?

  • Cannot get multiple tabs with multiple web pages

    Hi, My plain vanilla firefox browser in Win 8 has stopped giving me multiple tabs when I access more than 1 web url. Before say I access 5 sites, then for each site I get 5 tabs so I can easily switch between web pages. Now they all appear under 1 tab only. Ticking the box in Tools/Options/Tabs/open new window in a new tab instead, doesn't work...very frustrating....any ideas? Many thanks

    I'm not sure I understand the change, so let me mention a few things and you can reply with comments and clarifications.
    How are you directing links to new tabs: do you use one of these methods?
    * right-click > Open Link in New Tab
    * Ctrl+left-click
    * middle-click (using a mouse scroll wheel)
    Other issues:
    * Is Firefox's tab bar not showing or behaving strangely? (Please describe in more details if applicable.)
    * If the problem is that the Windows Task Bar is not working the way it used to, check the ''last'' setting on the Tabs panel of the Options dialog: "Show tab previews in the Windows Taskbar" to see whether that is what got turned off.
    * If the problem is that Google results used to automatically open in a new tab but now they open in the same tab, you need to select "new window" in Google search preferences: https://www.google.com/preferences

  • Adobe Flash Updates December 2014 crash Firefox on iMac. Websites access thus blocked.

    Tried to ignore all the messages to update Adobe Flash as this always leads to trouble. But the Firefox blocking of the old version led to new troubles. So I attempted to install the update. Firefox hung up with the whirling globe of death..wouldn't safe start..wouldn't reset. Could access nothing.
    Had to uninstall Flash and trash Firefox app and start over with an older version of Firefox (19) drug over from a back-up drive, which Firefox nicely updated to 34.0.5 overnight.
    Tried once again to update Flash (this time with an older version). It still crashed Firefox (though not irrevocably this time) and remains squirrely, meaning there are many sites I can no longer log on to and videos do not function properly.
    It's the new Adobe Flash incompatibility with my Firefox 34.0.5 on my system that is creating all the problems right now and there doesn't seem to be a solution?
    How does one find out what version of Flash is on one's computer and what version actually will work with my current systems?

    Hello Susanne.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Doing multiple forms with Flash 7.0

    I am trying to do this...
    Sections of the flash item will be separated by tittles, when
    user clicks on the tittle a form is shown, when user fills form
    out, it sends what ever information that is filled to my companies
    email with a subject and such things... when user clicks submit
    button, then the original layer appears with its original topics
    and sections, i would also like to be able to do a
    normal/over/click/out types of sections on the flash. I am new to
    flash, and would like some advice on how to be able to achive that.
    Another related question would be, make the templates for

    rest.

    Thanks for the assistance. I've disabled the antivirus software (PC Cillin) but that has unfortunately not helped. The iPod was recognized for a time this morning, but upon trying to sync, I got the following error message :

    That is a new one. Does it help at all to ellucidate?

  • Is there any possibility to bookmark multiple tabs at the same moment in the firefox 5? Becouse this is a very important function for me.

    That function was in the Firefox 3, and it was ultra effective. Why do Firefox 5 do not have it? It should be progress, not downgradation.

    You can access bookmark all tabs by right-clicking on a tab, or use the keyboard shortcut Control+Shift+D

  • Problems With Flash Player 16 NPAPI? (Firefox, Netscape, etc.)

    I installed FP 16 NPAPI on my computer recently and noticed on my next log-on that I was having problems.  Have any of you had any of these problems like I have had?:
    My computer became very slow to boot-up; My main antivirus program had been shut off; I had to turn on updates for my OS (Windows 7); My cleaning utility programs were disabled.
    I finally restored everything manually, but the same thing happened after I logged off and rebooted!  After getting things back up again I started to search for the cause. I used my cleaning
    utilities and discovered that in my start-up programs a "new" program had been added that was identified as "questionable or hard to identify". This program is called Adobe Speed Launcher.
    I deleted it, but after a few log-ons, IT REINSTALLED ITSELF!  I did a search for Adobe Speed Launcher in my Start search, after finding it nowhere in my Adobe program files. I found that the
    file had been placed twice in an unrelated cleaning utility!!!  I deleted both copies and now I'm waiting to see if it somehow comes back. This program wreaks havoc on my computer!
    Have any of you had a problem with this?  And has anyone found a way to stop it from reinstalling? I wont know until after my next few boot-ups if my solutions are effective.@@

  • 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.

  • Multiple Browsers with the same Page Flow

    I have a legacy application that I am working on migrating to Weblogic. The
    legacy application allowed the user to have multiple windows of the same
    module open at the same time. Users found this useful if they wanted to look
    at two different records in the same module. For example, if you had a
    registration app and you wanted to look at Joe's registration information
    and Sue's registration. Is it possible to have two browsers within the same
    session open and pointing to the same RegistrationController.jpf?
    Thank You.
    Michelle

    I believe our problem is that our form beans are class members of the page
    flow thus when you open another instance of the same controller the form
    beans are overwritten. Our GUI is displayed as modules containing multiple
    tabs with a form bean for each tab. The module has a controller, signifying
    the page flow for the module. So, one record in a module will span multiple
    tabs. We did not want to have one big form bean that is why we multiple
    form beans. But it now looks like we will need to store these form beans
    perhaps to the session in a collection identified by the window instance
    they belong to.
    We also need to do multiple different page flows but I don't think nested
    page flows will not work here because the page flows would almost need to be
    nested of each other. I guess you could almost think of as each module is
    an independent application however some can be invoked by others.
    <Rich Feit> wrote in message news:[email protected]..
    Hi Michelle,
    Yes, that should be just fine. That page flow will remain the "current
    page flow" as requests from both browser windows hit it. The NetUI
    runtime synchronizes the action methods, so you don't need to worry about
    thread-safety within them.
    There's also a way to have multiple different active page flows at the
    same time, but in this case you don't need to do anything special.
