Shockwave flash causes firefox 4 crash

shockwave flash causes firefox 4 hangs. it happens whether using the latest or the previous version of flash. removing flash solves the problem but removing flash is not a solution. this happens on a computer with Windows 7. However on another computer with XP this does not happen.

#Download a copy of Flash from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and save it to your desktop.
#Then download the [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html Flash Uninstaller]
#Close Firefox via File | Exit
#Run the uninstaller to remove Flash from Firefox. It will also remove it from IE.
#Reboot
#Run the Flash installer you downloaded to your desktop earlier (do not start Firefox). This will install it on Firefox only.
#Open IE and go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and choose Run when you see the prompt.
#Test the installation in both Firefox and IE by going to: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

  • Shockwave flash causes Firefox to crash

    My Firefox crashes when trying to open 75% of web pages. I get the windows standard "Firefox is not responding" window after it freezes while trying to load the page.
    I have singled out the problem to be the Shockwave Flash (11.5.502.149) plugin as everything works correctly with this disabled.
    I have tried updated flash, uninstalling and re-installing it and the same with FF but nothing seems to work so far.

    Ok, ever since I installed Firefox 20, I continually get "Shockwave plug in is not responding". And, yes I've tried everything that has been suggested. Now what?

  • Shockwave flash causes Firefox 24 to crash

    Mozilla needs to get ahead of this. There hundreds of reports of the same crashes and the current solutions don't seem to help. We need on detailed fix for this problem, right out in front on the web site.
    Chrome seems to work fine with the plug-in, if you can't fix this problem, we'll have to go to Chrome.
    Using windows XP

    reset defaults
    un-install and re-install firefox<br />
    change settings in Chrome?<br />
    Check Firefox for plug-in updates (under Help-troubleshooting, I think it was about:plug-ins)<br />
    delete and re-install shockwave<br />
    I can't remember them all.

  • I have both versions 10 and 12 of shockwave Flash on Firefox OS 26.  I wish to delete or remove V10

    I have both versions 10 and 12 of shockwave Flash on Firefox OS 26.  I wish to delete or remove V10 but can't from any process I know including Windows\system32\macromed\flash  path.  This deletes both of them .
    What next?

    Flash Player Uninstaller
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    I recommend keeping BOTH ActiveX and the regular Player Plugin installed, even if you don't use IE.

  • Flash makes firefox crash

    Topic kinda says it all; any websites which contains flash makes firefox crash. I believe the problem started 1-2 days ago. I'm clueless, I don't remember there has been any related updates.
    I've tried to move ~/.mozilla somewhere else, and reinstall flashplugin, which not fixed the problem.
    Oh yeah.. opera DOES NOT crash with flash.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Gmail and flash causes firefox to crash on chat initialisation

    Logging into Gmail with firefox 10.0.2, everything loads fine until the chat initialises.
    The browser hangs (becomes completely unresponsive) but doesn't crash. Closing the relevant instance of the Flash plugin (11.1.102.62) resolves the problem. Other flash sites work fine, as does Gmail on webkit. Have been experiencing this since the latest update.
    Included some crash IDs from earlier today, though I was never prompted for these by the browser.

    Hi Matt,
    Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I have been through the troubleshooting section.
    The title above is a little off, neither the browser nor the flash plugin actually crash, they just hang. No warning screen shows. I've disabled plugins one by one while in safe mode to check for any other conflicts. Flash hardware acceleration is disabled and the debugger version is installed (no runtime errors are occuring in the gmail applet).
    This has only been an issue since the 10.0.2 update.
    Thanks for your help!
    Som.

  • All flash videos have black screen and cause Firefox crashes

    Whenever I'm playing a video with Flash, the screen is black although the sound is playing. Then Firefox is crashing.
    I'm using the newest Firefox Version (28.0) on Mac OS 10.9.2 (newer Macbook Air) and the newest Flash version. I tried Safe mode and deactivated my plug-ins to make sure it's Flash.
    I re-installed Flash and installed but it didn't help.
    My Firefox crash reports say "hang | libsystem_kernel.dylib@0x15a3a" under signature and "EXC_BREAKPOINT / 0x00000002" under crash reason.

    I solved this problem by disabling hardware acceleration in the settings of adobe flash (right click/context menu). Although this might be difficult if the video is crashing before you were able to access the settings menu.

  • Why is shockwave flash and akamaihd crashing constantly?

    I'm sick of this, and seriously considering ditching Firefox.
    Nearly every time Facebook updates or loads, Shockwave Flash crashes and I get a dialogue window saying the script "https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/yd/r/M9WQeVKSbLt.js:13" has crashed.
    My Flash plugin is up to date. I've disabled hardware acceleration. I've reset Firefox. What is there left to do? I've been sending crash reports but they seem to be a waste of time.

    Scripts hangs with Flash can be caused by the protected mode feature of the Flash plugin. That feature has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems. You can disable it by creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts provide different approaches for that:
    * Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    * Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
    * Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078 (alternate version of Carm's batch file with a few changes by me: [https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=f7d304d92388737d&id=F7D304D92388737D!336&ithint=file,.bat&authkey=!AP2FXW2Y_3BXZyo])
    Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.

  • Shockwave Flash plug-in crashing

    Lately, I've been getting the following message:  "The following plug-in has crashed: Shockwave Flash" in a yellow bar near the top of my browsers.  I get the same error in chrome, IE8, Firefox, etc.
    When I go into control panel --> Flash Player --> Advanced Tab, the Updates portion, Plug-in Version:  Not Installed,  ActiveX Version:  11.1.102.55.  I suspect it has something to do with the plug-in version.  When I check for updates at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ it says, "You have version 11,1,102,55 installed".  I've tried uninstalling all "Adobe Flash Player..." programs and re-installing them to no avail.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome with no luck.
    Here's my stats:
    Windows XP Professional SP3
    Intel(R) Core(TM2)2 Duo CPU
    e6750 @ 2.66Ghz
    3.48 GB of RAM
    IE version 8.0.6001.18702

    Could you please go the uninstall/reinstall route again, but do it according to my instructions in this post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4081633#4081633

  • Shockwave flash plug in crashes in every browser on my mac

    I have been posting about this problem on the Apple forums and think that the problem is the flash player.
    After a recent Apple security update, I am unable to play the game "Serpentine" on games.cobradragon.com.  The game is a free boggle like game, a very simple platform that isn't heavy on graphics or anything.  But for some reason, I cannot play the game on any of my browsers.  They are all up to date and the Adobe Flash player is the most recent version : 11.2.202.235
    My OX is OSX 10.6.8  
    I know this is related to the Apple security update from around May 14 because I haven't yet updated my MacBook with that Apple update and am not having any problems playing the game on my Macbook's browsers. 
    I have gone through all of the steps on the Adobe website that it suggested to get Flash to work properly but I still get the error message:  "The following plug in has crashed:  Shockwave Flash." 
    I haven't noticed any problems on high media content sites like Facebook or Youtube, it seems to only create a problem on the one game site that I use.  As I said, the game site is a simple boggle game, no big adverts, etc.  It is free to register and play there if anyone here wants to try it on their iMac with the latest Apple security update and see if their browser gets the same error.
    Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. 
    I'm not sure that Adobe can do anything about this because it seems like it's an Apple security thing.  I'm not a complete technical moron but I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. 
    Thanks.

    I gave this a try on my 10.6.8 test system but was unable to reproduce the crash.  When the plugin crashes, do you receive a crash log report?  If so, could you paste the contents in a reply?
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Quicktime 7.1.5 disabled Shockwave/Flash on Firefox

    After installing QT 7.1.5 yesterday a number of web sites that use Shockwave/Flash no longer work.
    Instead of the video pane that should come up, I get the Quicktime logo with a question mark in it.
    This includes sites like espn.com, youtube.com etc.
    I have tried to uninstall and reinstall both QT and Firefox and nothing works.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    YouTube uses Flash Video and QuickTime (browser plug-in) should not be associated with it.
    Open System Preferences/QuickTime/Advanced tab
    Click the MIME Settings button
    Under Miscellaneous disclosure triangle remove the check mark for Flash Media
    Quit and relaunch your browser to test these changes.
