Not responding whenever computer is restarted. I have to uninstall and re-instal Adobe Flash Player every day and it works. How do I fix this?

Question

It works until I restart the computer. I have tried every suggested fix I can find including:
Updated - latest version installed
Re-installed Adblock +
Drivers up to date
Acceleration is on
Reset Firefox
Malware Bites Pro runs continuous
Safe Mode
How do I send the crash reports?

Answer 1

Basically, the script wrapper solution is: Firefox launcher gets changed to run a script, which in turn starts Firefox and also jumps through whatever hoops you need to fix the problem. Not a pretty way to do things, but if the problem is indeed in zombie processes and/or junk data in local cache, this will do the job. So, instead of running '''''YourAppPath''/firefox.exe''' it would run '''''YourBatchPath''/firefox.bat''' that contains something like this:
* ''YourAppPath''/firefox.exe
* [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896683 pskill] -t ''YourFlashPlugin''.exe
* del ''YourFlashCachePath''/*.*
Of course, you'll need to do this manually first - take a look with Process Explorer at what processes FF launches and which of them fails to terminate and locate the cache (where Process Explorer / Process Monitor also helps), mop them up and see whether it helps.
If you're not used to this sort of things, show this message to someone who is, it will take a few minutes to either have it done or disprove my hypothesis about your bug (not likely, as it's rather typical, and FF sometimes manages to half-zombify itself even in Linux).
