Shockwave Flash 10.2.153.1 causes FF4 to crash.

I downloaded FF4 and immediately began having problems as soon as I get on to websites such as Youtube, CNN, or similar sites that contain video. FF4 would crash, but nothing showed up the about:crashes page. I realized that it must be my Windows Vista causing the crash, as the error was a "Firefox has stopped working." message that forced me to close FF4.
My next step was to go and disable all add-ons and extensions, and of course it ended up that now FF4 ran fine. So I went one by one and enabled each one until I found the problem, which was Shockwave Flash 10.2.152.32 (10.2 r153). When this plug-in is enabled, FF4 crashes constantly. When this plug-in is disabled, FF4 works fine. However, with this plugin disabled, I am unable to view any videos on websites such as Youtube.
I tried downloading the newest Flash, hoping that would solve the problem. It did not. My plug-in (which I obviously still have to keep disabled) is now version Shockwave Flash 10.2.153.1. I don't understand why this is all going on, I have never once had a problem with anything Firefox until the FF4 update and it is VERY frustrating. Please help!

Try reinstalling the previous version of Flash - 10.1 r 102 and get rid of that 10.2 r152 version.

Shockwave Flash Object add on causes websites to freeze, asks to recover webpage

Hi there
I am experiencing issues with browsing websites with Shockwave Flash Object add-on for IE11 enabled.
I have a Remote Desktop server (2008R2 sp1) with 50 users. When enabled, browsing to websites becomes almost impossible - the sites i browse lock up and a message appears saying the webpage needs to be recovered.
I have found a work around - enabling ActiveX Filtering, however, it is annoying having to add pages to the exceptions list for ActiveX filtering each time I hit a page that requires activex controls.
I have attempted to uninstall/reinstall Flash, upgrading to latest version, and even downgrading to previous versions, all without success.
I have tried resetting IE settings, and gone to the extent of creating additional users to test, however, no matter what I have tried the issue is still present.
Are there any other options I can try to help resolve this issue?
Warm regards,

Flash player plug-in causing safari to crash

Hello,
I have been having a lot of problems lately with the flash player plug-in causing safari to lockup and at times crash. I have gone to the adobe website and reinstalled the flash player, but it still is happening. Is any one else having this problem? It happens on a wide variety of sites, and not just one. Any ideas why this is happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for the files, that was really helpful. Google Image Search doesn't use Flash, but we're investigating a couple issues specific to this Intel 4000 chipset that have been reported on both Mac (Yosemite specifically) and Windows over the last couple weeks.
It's unlikely that Flash is causing this, just because we're interacting with the GPU at a pretty high level of abstraction. My suspicion is that this is a graphics driver bug.
My guess is that if you disable Hardware Acceleration in Flash and/or Safari, that this will go away. It's not an optimal solution, but it should give you a temporary workaround and confirm that we're looking in the right place.
The video troubleshooting guide includes instructions on disabling hardware acceleration in Flash:
https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html
I don't see an easy option in Safari 8 for disabling hardware acceleration, so let's start with that.

Flash works fine – but causes Safari to crash!

Hi.
I've searched a bit, and can't seem to find this exact issue.
I'm running the latest Safari on 10.6.1, and for the last ten days or so, certain websites have been crashing Safari. I cannot recall installing anything new that caused it, although I did install ClickToFlash a few weeks prior to this happening.
This seems to be different than the run-of-the-mill 'Flash crashed Safari' problem, in that Flash works fine. I can use YouTube, I can see other videos (Vimeo, etc.,) I can play games…
What does crash Safari are certain websites, most noticeably for me is by bank's login page. I'll enter my name and password, and bam… hang. Uninstall Flash, and the website works perfectly.
I've tried: Uninstall and reinstall of Flash (with permission repairs each time); deleting preferences; clearing caches; made a new user account (still happened).
A couple of additional notes:
• The same thing happened in Chrome; so I imagine this is a Flash problem, not a Safari problem. Still, it's a strange problem in that Flash works fine – something else is triggering it.
• This may help narrow it down: After deleting the preferences, Safari defaults back to the 'welcome to Safari page ( http://www.apple.com/safari/welcome/ ). This page, too, crashes when Youtube is installed.
Any suggestions?

**Are you running Snow Leoaprd or Leopard? You changed your profile....
Try uninstalling and reinstalling a new copy of flash just in case. Adobe can be notorious for corrupted downloads.

Make sure and repair disk permissions after the installation.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Might want to try Mac maintenance...

As I suggested previously, make sure there aren't any Safari add ons causing a conflict.

Shockwave Flash above version 11.2.202.235 not compatible with Firefox 14.0.1

I am using Firefox 14.0.1 with Shockwave Flash. If I use any version of Shockwave Flash later than 11.2.202.235 I can not watch videos such as Youtube. All I get is a white screen. If I roll back to SF Ver .235 the videos play fine. I do not have this problem with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer.
Are the 11.3 r300 versions of Shockwave Flash not compatible with Firefox?

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 14 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
[[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
[[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

Shockwave flash crashes firefox every time I log on!!HELP HAVE TRIEDed

I log on shockwave flash comes up in tiny window firefox crashes this has been going on or months If not fixed I will leave firefox even though I like it

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Shockwave flash plug-in keep crashing

The Shockwave Flash plug-in on my laptop keeps crashing. I've installed a newer version, bu that doesn't help. Can you help?
Thanks

Shockwave Flash question

Shockwave Flash was recently updated and now continually crashes. What can be done to fix it?

It's overwritten by default, but... There are two plug-ins for Windows: 1 for IE and one for other browsers. If you update one, it doesn't affect the other.
I always keep both installed and updated:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
If you need it, use the Flash Player Uninstaller

How do I fix the "shockwave flash" error, causing firefox to lock up, slow, or crash?

continous errors about "shockwave flash", "script has stopped working" etc, causing numerous slowdowns, lock-ups, and crashes. have tried several fixes, but none have worked.....please advise

Is it a permissions problem? Here's another way.
(1) In a My Computer or Windows Explorer window, open this folder:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
If that folder does not exist, then you are using 32-bit Windows, and you can open the following folder instead:
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
''(Note: This folder exists on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, but on 64-bit Windows Firefox uses the Flash player in the SysWOW64 folder instead.)''
(2) Check for a file named mms.cfg:
(A) ''If mms.cfg exists,'' drag it to your '''Documents folder''' where you can edit it without being bothered about administrator privileges
(B) ''If mms.cfg does not exist,'' open your '''Documents folder''', right-click > New > Text File and name the new file mms.cfg
(3) Open mms.cfg from Documents into a text editor such as Notepad. Add this on its own line (I put it last):
ProtectedMode=0
Save the file and close Notepad.
(4) Hold down the Ctrl key and drag the mms.cfg file back to the Flash folder to make a copy there, keeping the original in Documents
This change should take effect the next time you restart Firefox.
Hopefully that works around the permission issue.

Shockwave flash will not let me upgrade cause I messed up in trying.

I tried to many times to download shockwave flash and it now it won't let me and it shows still needs to be updated.

Thank-you Cor-el for trying to help me but firefox says it needs to be upgraded so I guess I'll just wait awhile and try again. The directions that are given for downloading were confusing to me cause I was reading the directions and clicked on the blue where the directions are instead of the blue that had just popped up to download. The directions do not fit on the page without moving the cursor and I just got lost doing it. Don't know why I didn't understand and did this I think 3 times and then it just blocked me. I had tried too many times. But I know how to do it and others the next time I have to download anything. I really appreciate you and others that are out there to help. I will checking that out. I don't know much so I doubt I could help anyone else but you never know. I might make someone's day and mine too if I could help someone. That would be awesome. Again Thanks.

Shockwave Flash Player Is Causing My Computer To Crash

I've been getting a message saying that my Shockwave Flash
Player has caused a problem which requires Internet Explorer to
close. How can I fix this?

I'm having a similar problem with Firefox. Every time I open
up a browser and go to a page which requires Flash, I recieve a
message that says that it has encountered a problem. It doesn't
crash out directly, but will usually do so within 10-15
minutes....a freeze-up of Firefox occurs and I have to Ctrl-Atl-Del
out. The rest of my system is tip-top, and it's only occurred since
the upgrade of my Flash.

Shockwave flash causes firefox 4 crash
