Shockwave player error popup when closing FF

Couple of weeks ago upgraded to 4.0.1. Ever since, when exiting I get a popup error about Shockwave player. I have no shockwave player add on. Any ideas?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

  • Has anyone ever encountered a "shockwave player error" window when deleting cookies in Safari preferences under privacy?

    This window appears multiple times whenever I try to delete cookies. This afternoon, on the amazon.com site, the window kept opening and would not allow me to do anything else. I had to shut down my iMac and restart several times before I could get it working again. I have had this problem for a couple of years now(even when I was running previous operating systems). What is the deal here, and can it be fixed?

    I was having the same problem after updating to the Safari 5.1.2 and noticed, also, that the cookies wren't really clearing... after opening preferences again (after clearing them), there would be a few that would be added back.
    I think it's all related to a cookie issue that started with the safari update.
    I went back to Safari 5.05 using Pacifier as it wouldn't install under Leopard 10.6.8 which I am running.

  • I was trying to load an online game, and it said "Shockwave Player Error-to view movie, please switch to 32-bit mode." IT WOULDN'T WORK WHEN I TRIED IT! WHAT SHOULD I DO!  PLEASE HELP SOON!

    Update your Flash from Adobe's website.   If that doesn't work, tell the webmaster they aren't using a portable version of Flash that is as compatible with as many browsers as possible.

  • How can I get rid of Shockwave Player Error message? I'm not trying to play anything, but it pops up whenever I reset my Safari.

    I keep getting a message on my Mac saying:
    Shockwave Player Error
    To view the movie, open your browser in the 32-bit mode.
    1) In Safari, select applications/safari in the Finder and click more info
    2) Ensure that Open in 32-bit mode is selected
    3) Re-launch the browser.
    I did this, and selected the open in 32-bit mode but it's still giving me this message.
    Interestingly, it does this every time I reset my Safari (which I do upon closing Safari), UNLESS I unclick the "Remove all website data" item box - then I don't get this weird shockwave player error message.
    I would like to know either how to get rid of the error message (stop it from popping up) or how to download/install shockwave in case I need it.

    I am having this issue whenever I go to Safari privacy preferences tab it pops up this same error window repeatedly, over and over, even if I don't acknowledge the first one... it just keeps adding the error window one on top of the other. (a little offset like opening multiple browser windows).
    If I switch to a different application it may even keep popping them up keeping them on top all the time.
    I navigated to Library/Internet Plug-ins and there was nothing in it.

  • Shockwave player error asks to use Safari 32 bit

    I was clearing out my cookies under Safari preferences today and when I highlight a cookie I want to remove from the list and click REMOVE, a window opens that says I have a Shockwave Player error and that I need to reopen Safari in 32-bit mode. 
    QUESTION:  Why is this happening, has anyone else had this issue?  Also, what are the advantages or disadvantages of 64/32 bit modes on Safari?  Is there a Shockwave that runs in 64-bit mode?
    Thanks for any input!!

  • How to disable 'Remove Hidden Information' popup when closing PDF in Acrobat X on Mac?

    How do I disable the function that causes the 'Remove Hidden Information' popup when closing PDFs in Acrobat X? I'm using OS X 10.9.4 on a Mac?
    I've searched online and was directed to Preferences>>Security (enhanced) to uncheck 'Unable Enhanced Security', but it wasn't checked.
    This box (see screen shot) opens each time I close a PDF. I'm forced to select an option before closing.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    Go to the menu Acrobat>Preferences
    In the Preferences window's "Categories" pane, select "Document"
    In the "Hidden Information" section deselect both check boxes
    Click the OK button
    You should be good now.

  • Safari Update-Privacy-Shockwave Player Error

    Did some software updates yesterday evening, one of them being a Safari update.
    After the updates were completed, did a "re-start" and eveything seemed fine.
    Noticed a few enhancements to Safari (v 5.1) but one thing I do find now is if I click on Safari/Preferences/Privacy a "Shockwave Player Error" message appears. Huh? I'm not trying to view/watch a movie.
    I tried what it said about switching to 32-bit but the error still exisits.
    Also the "remove cookies" is gone from the option list.
    Anyone have a fix for this error?
    Thanks!

    I was having the same problem—not just in the Preferences, but in practically every page I visited.
    I updated my Shockwave Player to the 64 bit version, and that seems to have done the trick.
    http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/
    Note: I'm still running Snow Leopard; haven't upgraded to Lion yet.
    Also, I have an iMac, not a MacBook Pro, though I don't see why that should matter.
    Hope that helps.

  • Flash Player error popup

    Based on what logic Flash Player raises error popups? When do we get it and when do we not?
    Thanks

    The same thing as the debugger version, but no popup is shown.  No code that was supposed to run after the exception is run in that frame, and then the next frame or input or network event runs code again (which could throw other errors if they depended on code that was not run.

  • "...handle is invalid" : Error only when closing the Applicatio​n, at RunTime everything seems fine...

    HI,
    first of all: I'm relatively new to LabWindows, working on it during some practical work as a Student
    (yeah, and sorry for the bad english, I'm from Germany)
    To the Problem:
    The first important Information:
    After having searched for a solution, I just don't know, what to do,
    My Project consists of ONE Main.uir-File with a Tab, a "Main.c" that basically handles the main .uir-Stuff and some Initiating-Stuff and in addition to that Several Sub-Sourc-Files, one for each Tab-Panel of the Main.uir-Tab.
    To use the UI-Items on the Main-Tab with the Sub-Sources, I am initiating Tab-Handles at startup, that can be used by the SubSource-Files, like:
    GetPanelHandleFromTabPage (PANEL, PANEL_TAB, 2, &BALU);
    With this Handle, I can identify every UI-Items, when working with the SubSources
    The second important information:
    In some of the TabPages of the .uir there are several ControlArrays. To use them I create a ControlArrayHandle, like:
    MWSAverageHandle  = GetCtrlArrayFromResourceID (BALU, MWSAverageArray);
    No, I am able to identify specific elements of the Arrays, like:
    SetCtrlVal (BALU, GetCtrlArrayItem (MWSProgressHandle, ActiveBalun), ProgressString);
    Now there is a Problem, I am not able to solve:
    During runtime, everything works out fine, I can use every element of a ControlArray with this ControlArrayHandle ("MWSProgressHandle"), everything works perfect, no errors at all. BUT, when closing the programm, I get the following error-message:
    NON-FATAL RUN-TIME ERROR:   "Baluns.c", line 313, col 16, thread id 0x00000AB8:  
    Library function error (return value == -4 [0xfffffffc]). Panel, menu bar, or control array handle is invalid
    But this seems somehow ridiulous to me, because at runtime every single line works perfect, every Array-Item can be used without Problems...
    Is there anything I am just not able to see???
    Thanks a lot for your help.
    Greeting from Lübeck, Germany!
    Mathias
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Maybe I just figured something out:
    First of all, most of the Functions, that cause the Error, are in Timer-Callbacks (at this state of development, ALL of them)
    So I just added a Test-Function in a normal Button-Callback, which contains a "GetCtrlArrayItem"-Function, and this specific Line does NOT cause an Error... (Or at least it does not occur in the Error-List, when clicking "continue" in debugging-mode). Somehow the Timer-Callbacks seem to be called, when closing the Application...
    BUT: this happens when I don't do anything in the Application, and the all Timers are Disabled, until some Buttons are pushed (so when I close the application right after opening it, they still should be disabled) 
    @ Wolfgang:
    After discarding I do not want to use one of the handles, or at least I'm not doing that purposely
    @ Roberto:
    Actually I am only discaring the MainPanel-Handle in the Main.uir (and one other Panel, but the error occurred before implementing that other panel). Do all Handles (PanelHandles as well as ControlArrayHandles, TabPageHandles and so on) need to be discarded?
    And no, I did not check the Variable Window, I was not aware of this possibility, I will try to figure that out.

  • Reproducible Shockwave player error under Mac OSX 10.6.3

    I develop Shockwave "jigsaw" puzzles with Director.  Sample at kayingleside.com.  My clients are experiencing problems with the most recent Shockwave player under Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard.  Play a jigsaw at the above web site to experience the problem. 
    When you click on a puzzle piece it vanishes.  You can drag the mouse around as you would to move the puzzle piece but it is difficult to position correctly as the piece is invisible.  When you release the mouse button the piece reappears correctly in it's repositioned location. 
    I can reproduce this behavior myself on a Mac 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon.  2 GB 800 MHz DDR-2 FB-DIMM;  OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.3;   Shockwave  player 11.5.9r620.  The problem does NOT appear when playing the jigsaw puzzle within Director 11 under Snow Leopard nor  when running OSX 10.5.8.

  • "jqsnotify.exe- Application Error" popup when open new tab or windows

    "jqsnotify.exe- Application Error" popup that states "...instruction at 0x00152058 referenced memory at 0x025f0014... memory could not be 'read'. Click on OK to terminate the program" whenever a new window or tab is opened. What does this mean? I get exactly the same popup message "...0x00152058...0x025f0014..." when using google chrome, except the "Application Error" is from Chrome.exe. Not sure if this is related but ever since these popups, firefox often hangs/freezes, when I open taskmng, it states that the program is "not responding", I have to force to end it, Again exactly the same problem when I use Chrome.

  • Error message when closing PSE10 normally

    I get the messaage "The application Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor quit unexpectedly" when closing PSE10 normally.  I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8. Can anybody help?  I've already tried uninstalling Epson printer/scanner drives, re-installing PSE, and repaired permissions.....
    Thanks
    Ray

    Hi Barbara B,
    Not that I'm aware of.  I only installed it for the first time yesterday. I already had PSE 8/Bridge which I've since deleted. I had a similar problem with the PSE8 but fixed it by deleting and re-installing an Epson scanner driver.  Didn't work this time though.  Having said that, the issue with PSE10 appears to be erratic (PSE8 was constant). It's not actually doing it at present!
