Possible Work-around: Flash Player 11.5 stops working on Firefox 17

On Windows Vista SP2, Firefox 17.01, and Flash Player 11.3 through 11.5.502.135, I have experienced repeated and consistent error messages saying that Flash Player has stopped working, and with r502.110 Firefox crashed after the first of these messages.
Googling about, I found an old (3-year plus) work-around that some clever people have applied to the current Firefox and Flashplayer, and it works for my problems on my systems:
Edit Firefox about:config, toggling the line “dom.ipc.plugins.flash.subprocess.crashreporter.enabled" from “true” to “false.” Close about:config, exit and restart Firefox.
I do not know what an equivalent might be with IE, since the problem seems to occur there, too.
I do not know whether this affects the FP sandbox, but have found no indication that FP sandbox functionality is affected or security compromised. Adobe engineers would have to answer that.
  Also, while they are answering protection questions, what is the effect of disabling Flash Player Protected Mode? This has been a suggested work-around by the staff here, but no one seems to know what the security exposure would be if the sandbox is disabled.

We have a new 11.6 beta available that you might want to try.  In addition, please see this FAQ for Firefox troubleshooting steps.
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?

  • After Updating to Flash Player 9 Links stopped working

    After I updated my flash plugin to 9 some of my flash links
    stopped working. Our site uses CMS to upload the flash files. I
    built them using actionscript 2. It's not all of the Swf that were
    affected just some of them, but they were all built the same. On
    release, get URL script. I tried it on a mac and a pc and neither
    worked in firefox, safari, IE, or opera. I did a uninstall and
    installed flash player 8, and everything works again. Its pretty
    random anybody have any ideas?
    Heres the page that does'nt work, but just the pant and
    jacket links, not the ones in the header at the top.
    http://www.sessions.com/snow.php?sid=3&gtype=M

    It's just a regular link.
    on (release) {
    getURL("
    http://www.sessions.com/thumbs.php?psid=204&sid=2&gtype=W",

    I didn' t build the site could it be something in the

  • Adobe Flash Player Installer has stopped working

    I have recently gone through a lot of problems on this computer i have just now recently fixed. the computer was formated and all, and when i got onto the internet it said it the browser (both mozilla and IE) has stopped working however the problem is fixed but not with IE (it had to do with hardware acceleration). Well i went to download the newest (and ive tried older ones) version of flash player and when i start the installer after im prompted to run as admin, i immidietly get the message Adobe Flash Player has Stopped Working. When i close the window in the toolbar it said that DEP has closed it. Im pretty much stumped here as i've tried turning DEP off using the installer but the program needs DEP to run. Ive tried turning off the firewalls and everything please help. I'm good with computers as i took basicly all the parts out and put it back in to fix this pc (it wuld not get passed first screen on start up ended up being bad stick of RAM i had just put it in, as well as tons of other problems happening with this hunk of junk).

  • Flash Player 9  suddenly stops working,Flash 10 won't install

    Hi all!
    I have been going around in circles on this.(and you can see on secondary Details what MacMini this is...an older one running Os 10.4.11) Below is a clip of the Disk RepairLog re: the Flash 9 Player suddenly not working. I downloaded the Flash Player 10 (which is all Adobe seems to want to let me do...can't get 9 again!!) It shows Permissions repaired (and I have tinkered with User Permissions too)...No Luck.

    SO....HELP...anyone know what could be happening here?
    One other thing grabbed off another forum. Do any of you think this is advisable or could I make matters worse?...See Following:
    Okay, solution found! It's dangerous for newbies but experienced Mac users can handle it
    Go to System Preferences>Accounts. Right-click on your name on the left, and choose Advanced Options. You can now change your UID and GID. They should be 501. Set them to 0. This gives you the all-powerful (and dangerous) root access. Log out and log in again. If it happens the same for you as it did for me, you'll be scared at first if you've never done this before. The log-in process changes to the more secure form, and you may log-in as root, not as yourself at all!
    That doesn't matter, though. Run the Flash Installer and it will do its thing. If you had any kind of permissions setback before this will plow right through it. The Installer opens a test page when it's done so you'll see its success. Now, immediately change your GID and UID (for your own name, of course, not the System Administrator if that's what you're logged in as now) back to 501. Log out immediately after this, and log in as yourself again. The browsers should have working Flash under your name as well. Mission Accomplished!
    P.S.: Adobe can still bite it (particularly their tech "support" site), but without Flash the Internet is a much less interesting place, unfortunately, so I'm glad I got it working again.)
    Thanks for any help...I can't view the multimedia content on my own web site and this makes things pretty non functional.
    Liz

    When Disk Utility reports failure on exit, it means there is something it can't fix. Usual solution is to use Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro to fix the problem. That Disk utility found issues with Quartz is interesting, as Quartz is OS X's foundation for it's graphics system, and coincidentally your primary issue is with Flash. It may just be coincidental, though.

  • Flash Player 9 just stopped working and won't reinstall

    I am running Firefox on a MacBook (Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X v.
    10.4.9).
    One minute, my Flash Player was working just fine and the
    next minute I start getting messages that I need to install the
    plug-in. I have repeatedly tried installing, uninstalling,
    restarting, reinstalling, etc. several times and I still get the
    same message.
    I looked in the 'plugins' folder for Firefox and I don't even
    see the Flash plugin. It's also not working in Safari. Please help
    me get this thing working.
    Ricky Furr

    Thanks for responding. I took "Flash Player.plugin" and
    "flashplayer.xpt" out of the Internet Plugins folder and put them
    on the desktop. I ran the installer and when it tried to install
    "flashplayer.xpt" It said "Error Creating File: 1008:5,-5000 Access
    Denied Error" then followed immediately with "You do not have
    enough access privileges for this installation." I only have one
    user account on this computer and it's an Admin account so that
    really doesn't make any sense.
    After I got that message, I tried also taking out "Flash
    Player Enabler.plugin" and got the same message. Then I tried
    Uninstalling, Restarting, and Reinstalling. Same thing happened.
    I put the files back where they were.

  • Tried to download Adobe Flash Player. Download stopped working before inst complete. Why?

    tried to download Adobe Flash Player. Download sotpped before complete. Why

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking either (or both) of the following links and selecting "Save target as" (IE) or "Save link as" (other browsers).
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Camera just up and stopped working with flash player. SUUUUPER annoying. Any ideas?

    Hi:
    Windows XP SP3 32bit, latest updates applied
    Firefox 3.6.6 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0E))
    IE 8.0.6001.18702
    Flash Player 10,1,53,64
    HP EliteBook 8530w with built-in HP camera (brand spankin' new).
    So Flash Player today decided it doesn't want to work with my webcam. I have pulled my hair out trying to figure out what the problem is. The camera works fine with other video camera software, such as Adobe Flash Live Encoder 3.1, for example, or the various Microsoft cam tools. But Flash Player just won't see it. When I visit a website that uses the camera through flash, all I get is a black box. I never get the privacy screen that asks me if I would like to allow the site temporary access to my camera.If i go into my settings, and go to the camera tab, it shows my camera device in the dropdown box. But you know how if you double-click the little box under the dropdown, it should activate your camera and display a little video inside that box? That doesn't work for me. All I get is this:
    It doesn't matter if I use FF or IE. I've re-installed Flash Player, both the FF version and the Ax version. To no avail. I've logged into my computer as a different user, because hell maybe it's some weird dumb thing in the Flash Player cache or something. Nope.
    Now here's the super, super, super annoying part: I just recently moved to this laptop and one of the things I was looking forward to was a computer where my webcam would FINALLY work with flash player again. Yes, that's right: my old computer had this exact same problem. And in both cases, at one point the camera worked with Flash player no problem, and then at some point, it just stopped working.
    This makes me think, of course, that the problem is some nefarious piece of software I've installed, but I can't think of what that is. I know the camera was working with my new computer as early as last week. Recently I've installed a bunch of software, including Adobe Media Live Encoder 3.1, Flash Professional CS5, and the Adobe Connect add-in. I've uninstalled everything except CS5, because, hey, who wants to re-install that if they don't have to? I'll do that as a last result, but the guy sitting next to me has the entire CS5 suite installed and camera works fine for him with Flash Player (same exact hardware too), so I don't think it's that. Other than that, I dunno. I've got VS2008 and 2010 installed. GoToMeeting. Office. That's about it.
    So. Any ideas? Any thoughts on how I could even start to debug the issue? Logging or something? Any help is much appreciated.

    Yes.
    Victory is mine.
    VICTORY IS MINE!!!
    Solution:
    Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg
    Set
    AVHardwareDisable=1
    to:
    AVHardwareDisable=0
    Restart your browser. Done. Camera works now.
    I really want to shout this solution from the rooftops, because try Googling the solution sometime. I did. I failed. You will too. Hopefully if I use some more 18-point bold font, Google will index it faster, because that's the way it works right?
    I actually had no idea that Flash Player has a folder in Windows\system32 at all, and I definitely had no idea that this file existed. I am guessing some stinking app I installed decided I needed AVHardwareDisable set to 1 for some reason (effers). I found out about the location by just lazily searching through the windows registry for "Flash Player" and eventually saw it pointing to that directory. A little more poking around and I found this file.
    Those of you who actively support this forum: please keep this in the back of your mind, next time someone has audio/video input problems with Flash Player. I've found an awful lot of forum posts from people with cameras not working, and I bet a good portion of them need this fix. Reinstalling Flash Player will not fix it. Here's hoping the solution comes up in Google for the next unlucky soul.

  • I cannot open without adobe flash player, is there a work around?

    I cannot open without adobe flash player is there a work around?

    Go to the App Store and download a browser app like Puffin, which will give you some Flash ability.  Check the App store to see if the site you are trying to watch the video from has an App.

  • Flash Player 10 does not work in IE or Firefox. What could it conflict with?

    I'm  using Firefox 3.6.8 (and sometimes IE 8.0.6001.18702IC) on Windows XP Pro, SP 3.
    For some weeks now, I have been unable to hear any sounds on anything Flash-based, from YouTube to games at MSN.com or embedded videos on any site using Flash.  Initially I had assumed it to be because of having QuickTime installed because I know QT likes to hijack everything.  I uninstalled QT (and Real Player) and Flash Player then reinstalled Flash Player (and Shockwave Player just in case) and guess what?
    Yup.  Nothing.  When I uninstalled everything, I used a program called Revo Uninstaller, which includes a registry cleaning option.  I then used Abexo and WinASO's registry cleaners to make sure I got everything else that even looked like QuickTime off my hard drive.
    When I reinstalled Flash, the following programs appeared in C:\Windows\system 32\Macromed\Flash:
    Flash 10i.ocx (10.1.82.76)
    FlashUtil10i_ActiveX (10.1.82.76)
    FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.82.76)
    genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
    FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll (10.1.82.76)
    NPSWF32.dll (10.1.82.76)
    KB931433
    FlashInstall
    Install
    Flashplayer.xpt
    When I check IE's "Tools" and look for add-ons, it says that Flash (Shockwave Flash) is enabled.  I even enabled the other Adobe add-ons for Acrobat and such just to be sure.  Firefox shows Shockwave Flash and Shockwave for Director both to be enabled.  The Flash control panel settings don't help: I have all sites set to store about 100 KB on my computer to make sure there's enough room for everything but still nothing.
    Before anyone asks, my audio drivers are up to date, thanks to the manufacturer's website.  I have DirectX 9.0c installed and everything else works fine.  I can play audio and video elsewhere with no problems.  It's only Flash that's showing me this trouble and there's no hint as to what else could be interfering with Flash.
    Any ideas?

    Well, great.  I tried the uninstall/reinstall before, but not with the uninstaller, so I was hopeful that this time might do it.  No such luck.  The video still plays, but no sound.
    All the sound settings are working with everything else from games to media players.  I set Windows' firewall to allow both the ActiveX and plugin for Flash, just in case.
    In the Flash folder, I now have:
    Flash10l.ocx (10.1.102.64)
    Flash Util10l_ActiveX (10.1.102.64)
    FlashUtil10l_Plugin (10.1.102.64)
    Genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
    FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll (10.1.102.64)
    NPSWF32.dll (10.1.102.64)
    And the setup and text files that went with 'em.
    I've also done a system restart since then and zip.
    I went through IE and Firefox and looked for any file associations (like .flv) that I could manually change over to using Flash, but no go.  The settings panels for Flash have all been set to allow YouTube specifically (as a test) and to allow 10KB of storage space for all affected sites.
    Now what?  I'm really not looking forward to a reformat and reinstall, but it's looking like that's what it's going to take.

    Subject: Flash Player 10 does not work in IE or Firefox. What could it conflict with?
    Something is strange with your list of modules; you list FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.102.64), but this is really 10.1.85.3
    I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely (using http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), then restart Windows, and delete all remaining files in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash.
    Next reinstall both ActiveX (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe) and the plugin (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe).
    After that, if the problem persists, have a look at this page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83739.html

  • NetStream.send not working in Flash Player 11.2 Beta with Cirrus, Please confirm if it is a bug

    Title
    NetStream.send not working in Flash Player 11.2 Beta with Cirrus, Please confirm if it is a bug or feature
    Description
    Problem Description:
    NetStream.send can not send data to peerstreams when using with cirrus. Conflict with documents.
    Sorry for tag the build as 11.0.1.3 while the bug is actually on 11.2 beta since the bug report system didn't have 11.2 beta yet.
    If you are not responsible for 11.2 beta bug fix, please help a hand to handle this bug to 11.2 team.
    This bug is "killing" to your application, so we really appreciate your help. Thanks.
    ==Publisher==
    nc.connect("rtmfp://");
    var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc, NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS);
    ns.publish("sendtest");
    ...//after connection success.
    ns.send("clientfunction", "ok"); // this line cannot reach subscribers. even if subscribers have client object correctly.
    ==Subscriber==
    nc.connect("rtmfp://");
    var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc, cirrusid);
    var client:Object = new Object();
    client.clientfunction = clientfunction; // target function
    ns.client = client;
    ns.play("sendtest");
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. compile the code in the attachment to SendTestExample.swf (not be able to paste it here)
    2. run it under flash player 11.2.202.19 beta
    3. run it under flash player 11
    Actual Result:
    HeartBeat is:
    Start HeartBeat:
    send hello
    send hello
    send hello
    which means NetStream.send was not able to call "clientfunction" as expected.
    Expected Result:
    Start HeartBeat:
    send hello
    in client function: hello
    send hello
    in client function: hello
    send hello
    in client function: hello
    which can call into the clientfunction as flash player 11 did.
    Any Workarounds:
    I can not find it out since it's an api level bug. But this can be very important for lots of applications which rely on send to do rpc.

  • I can not get the flash player plug in to work with Internet Explorer

    I can not get the flash player plug in to work with Internet Explorer

    I can't get the computer to update anything as far as I can see.
    The flash plug in does work with the Crome browser but it will not work with Internet explorer.
    I looked in the manage add-ons and it says enabled.
    I also went into the safety tab and deselected
    Active X filtering.
    Restarted and still does not work.
    I need help.....
    Chrome uses a different and separate plug-in.
    There are things about IE you need to know, especially 11. Specifically:
    "User-Agent Strings"
    That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
    Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
    The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
    Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess they've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
    They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

    Okay, here's my file on doing the Flash update. Happy reading.
    *Flash Player for PPC Macs*
    Adobe's last release of Flash Player for PPC Macs was in November, 2010 with release 10.1.102.64 Subsequent releases are for Intel based Macs only.
    To check your installed version of FlashPlayer - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
    To update you should download:
    Flash uninstaller: [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,] Make sure you get the right one.
    Flash installer 10.1.102.64 [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.1.102. 64_and_9.0.289.0_archive.zip]  Open the archive to reveal yet more archives and multiple files. Select: flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg
    To install:
    1) Run Disk Utility and verify your hard drive.  If the hard drive reports errors then it will need repairing first (another topic).  If it verifies, run Disk Utility's repair permissions.
    2) Back up your hard drive, ideally to a bootable clone. A bootable clone will allow you to restore your hard drive to its original state should something go wrong.
    3) Quit all applications to ensure nothing is actively using Flash. You can even do the next step while booted to Safe Mode to make sure.
    [Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
    [What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564]
    [Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
    4) Run the uninstaller application. Adobe says, "Adobe recommends that you restart your computer before you install a different version of the player."
    5) Run the installer application from the .dmg file you got from the second download.
    6) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your computer. this is important when installing anything from Adobe.
    7) Restart your computer.
    Notes:
    Adobe installs things all over your computer. Simply dragging a file or two to the trash won't ensure you have uninstalled all old file components.

    "The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_ osx.dmg
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe."
