New Flash Update Complaint

The latest update has been causing me some seriously annoying problems. I figure that most people aren't particularily inconvienenced by this, but the way it freezes flash operations on non-active windows and tabs is a pain. I hate it, and wish I could downgrade to a older version of flash so I wouldn't have to deal with it. I like idle-games more than most people, and they become completely impossible with this update. I can't play them and do anything else on the computer. Sure I could leave my computer running 24/7, but that costs money I don't have. I don't expect it to go away (though that would be nice) but I thought I would let you guys know that at least some people don't much like this particular feature.

Perhaps if you gave us some information, somebody may be able to help you; without it, that is near impossible.
To "downgrade" you need to uninstall your current Flash Player, then install the previous version.

The new Flash update installer stops at 95% and freezes.

The new Flash update installer stops at 95% and freezes. I have followed all of the the uninstall procedures, made sure there were no files in the library/internet plugins folder and opened the installer folder and used the sub folder install nothing works. I get the blocked plugin message from video players telling me download the update. I've spent two days now trying everything.

Site failing starting 9/21 with new Chrome and new Flash updates - PLEASE HELP!

I have a vertical site for boating with 110,000 users. The main part of the site is based around a 400KB swf that is mostly AS3. It has worked flawlessly for years. I haven't updated it in about 4 months. There has been no server update that would be causing any issues at all in at least a month.
All of a sudden on 9/21, some users started complaining that the main map view was all white. Other things are not working correctly either. It happened mostly with users who had automatic updates turned on in Google Chrome. I understand that a new Flash version was auto-installed as a part of a Google update yesterday.
I went to the Adobe Flash page and was prompted to update my player although I have 10.3.183.10 installed. I didn't do that.
Today people on other platforms are complaining that they're getting the same white screen although the bulk of our users are having no problems, probably because they haven't been updated. It seems to happen in Internet Explorer and Firefox starting today. I have a feeling these people had their Flash version updated.
I updated to the beta v11 and now I'm experiencing the white screen blank problem - it is perfectly reproducible.
To view the place where this is happening, go to:
https://activecaptain.com/X.php
The problem occurs on both OSX and Windows. I don't think it is operating system involved at all.
There are no errors, warnings, messages, traces, etc. coming out on the developer windows in Safari in v11. Absolutely everything appears perfect except it isn't working at all.
This is causing a major problem and I don't know what to do.

Hi JeffActive,
Sorry for all the inconvenience you encountered so far.
We did investigation on your problem and found out it's related with our security update on 9/21/2011.
When load your website with debugger plugin player, the following stack overflow errors are found:
AS error occurred:
Error: Error #1023: Stack overflow occurred.
                at com.afcomponents.umap.gui::UIMapControl/getClassByName()
                at com.afcomponents.umap.gui::UIMapControl/getClassByName()
                at com.afcomponents.umap.gui::UIMapControl/getClassByName()
This haven't been seen in flash player no later than 10,3,183,7.
By confirming with our developers, in 10,3,183,10, we added some checks to detect stack overflow conditions. That's why 'Stack Overflow Occurred' errors are detected in your codes.
If go to below security bulletin page, you can find more detailed information of security updates in 10,3,183,10:
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-26.html
As there are stack overflow errors in your codes, flash player(later than 10,3,183,10) avoids loading it. To fix the problem, need to fix those AS stack overflow errors in your codes.
We don't have the source code of your swf file right now, so can't tell which AS codes cause this stack overflow issue. Could you test your swf file in our latest debugger player(10,3,183,10), then find out which lines of AS codes caused the problem? Once the stack overflow issue is solved, the swf should be loaded correctly.
Again, sorry for all the inconvenience cause by this new security changes. We're improving our player to be more secure. We would be glad to work with you to solve your problem ASAP if any help needed from us.
Thanks,
Yan

I can't get the new flash update... FF says i need a plugin to get the download, and when i get it (gp.xpi), i can't install it. what should I do?

I've followed the instructions on the flash website, but i can't even get the flash file to download. the file that i get is supposed to be asociated with FF, that's why im contacting you guys. is there other way i can manually allow adobe to install flash without using their website directly?

I had that problem myself and was forced to download the installer for "other browsers" using Internet Explorer at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ . After I did that it installed correctly. You can also try downloading the FULL installers for flash at http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html . Just make sure that all browser windows are closed before you run either of these.

Flash update messed up FF Add-ons and the Open New Tab button.

FF told me that I needed to update Flash, so I said OK. Whereupon all of my FF Add-ons disappeared. Seems that FF needed to check with the mother ship to find out if everything were compatible with this new Flash update--but the mother ship was not available (this has happened several times).
Why didn't FF check on the compatibility issues BEFORE getting the Flash update?!
I will remove Flash (did this in the past, and the lost functionalities were no big deal). I will also change the settings on FF so that the program won't do this again. (I periodically go see about FF updates myself and try to sit on FF while the updates are being done.)
BTW ... I had FF set to NO DOWNLOAD/UPDATE anything until/unless I have the OK. The past few weeks, I've gotten constant notes from FF telling me to get FF6.0. I was almost ready--but not quite ready--and yesterday FF updated itself. NO OK from me.
As I type this, I've finally gotten all of my FF Add-ons and other mods back. And it looks like my bookmark tabs are all squared-away again, too. (The AddNewTab button completely disappeared.)
So, this is no longer a question for you that could use an answer. Instead, I'd like you to pass my frustrations along to the development crew. I HATE the uncertainty/instability of my Firefox Add-ons and Stylish mods. (I'd rather just skip them.)
I understand that the Add-ons are not the work of Mozilla (not like the browser program itself, anyway) and that the job of getting everything to work together must be insanely difficult. So I'm not wanting to complain about the compatibility hassles here--I'm complaining about the need to watch FF carefully to make sure FF doesn't jump up and do something that I don't want. That and the fact that I have to remember that FF will change my system BEFORE checking to see if it's going to make a mess for me.
I only recently returned to Firefox and started using some of the Add-ons again. I love them. But I don't think I'll ever use more than 6 or so Add-ons because of the constant problems with updates like this mess today with Macropedia's Flash. The one thing I don't want in a browser is problems.
Thanks for your attention here ...
Jack

I'm sorry to hear that you have so many issues. What version of Firefox were you using before?
The double title bar issue has been identified as an issue with the Tax Mix Plus extension but it doesn't affect everyone, it's an interaction with something else (not exactly clear what, although Norton Toolbar was mentioned in one thread).
There is a new version available that you could try. If Firefox is stable enough to do it...
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > "gear" icon > Check for Updates
If your beta version won't update, you could try installing [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ from the add-ons site].
More generally, could I suggest disabling as many extensions as you can live without for 24 hours, and re-enable them gradually? This should help isolate interactions between them. As you know, you can do that here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Finally, regarding your old session, if you haven't closed Firefox, you might find a sessionstore.bak file in your profile folder that contains your old session. To easily access that folder, try
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Grab a copy of that file and save it somewhere outside the folder because it is overwritten when you close Firefox. Got to run, but if you find one with an appropriate date, someone can help you restore it.

The new version of firefox, which installed WITHOUT my approval, FORCED an update to Adobe Flash. This new Flash plugin crashes over and over and over - to the point that I cannot use firefox anymore. This is one very angry customer. Argh.

firefox installed update without approval. big NO NO.
firefox forced update of adobe flash. I hate this crap.
firefox + new flash = totally unstable.
crash after crash after crash - cannot use.

Firefox updated - forced to install new Flash - doesn't work, but does in other browsers

Auto-update to latest Firefox. Loaded, then warned to load new Flash. Done. It works in my other browsers fine, but only shows me non-functioning images in Firefox. (When I go to YouTube).
They don't appear at all in one of my sites - but work fine in other browsers.
I have; "Plug-ins up to date" in my Flash check.

The problem seems to be related to Flash and Video drivers. Try updating your video drivers first of all.
As a temporary workaround try hovering your cursor over the place where the pop-out button should be below the YouTube video screen, then left click there. The video will then display in the pop-out screen.

The new flash player update crashes internet explorer and firefox

The new flash player update crashes internet explorer and firefox, please send a new release to fix the problem ASAP!

ok   here's more mystery. i just uninstalled and reinstalled flash player using the adobe uninstaller and rebooting after each step. aqlso installed latest java. i started looking at videos and here are the ones that worked: you tube
                                                                                       imdb
                                                                                       hulu
                                                                                       ebaumsworld
                                  here are the ones that didn't work:    yahoo
                                                                                       msn
                                                                                       reuters
                                here are the ones that partially worked: the blaze (works on videos that originate from you tube, but not from news stories)
                                                                                          bing (work on videos from their video section - entertainment type, but not from news videos)
the common thing here seems to be that news type videos crash and entertainment type don't. also videos seem more likely to crash on internet portals like yahoo

The latest automatic update was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived with the same "request". Why and what do I need to do to stop this?

The latest automatic update (in March) was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived (today 7. March) with the same "request". Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it? Firefox 3.6.15 and Adobe flash player 10.1.82.76 are currently installed.

Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 is not the latest version of Flash. '''r152''' is the latest.

New Flash Plugin update with hardware acceleration freezes Youtube videos

Hello, two days ago i got a prompt for a new flash plugin update, saying that now it was able to use hardware acceleration on MAC too. I did the update but i noticed that with hardware acceleration enabled, any youtube video i see, safari freezes. Seems like it's loading continuously (even if the progress bar of the video is already red). But as soon as i disable hardware acceleration, all goes back as normal, no freeze. What's the problem? Using the last safari version.

HI,
There's an article here you might want to read.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)
