The adobe flash plugin has failed and none of the solutions have helped

the adobe flash plugin has failed and none of the solutions listed in the help section works! I've tried all the solutions listed but none seems to work.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== it started a week ago

Why is Flash now so unstable in Firefox? The Flash has crashed indicator is now a familiar visitor (it generally goes when I refresh the page so it's not hugely fatal!) But . . . I am having to go back to IE to check the reliability with my own sites - which are heavily dependent on flash for animation and video. What can be done? My Firefox and Flash installations are kept up to date. Really disappointing.

    Your installed plugins list shows two different versions of Flash. Use the Adobe uninstaller program to entirely remove Flash and then install the latest version.

  • The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed! Help please.

    I can't load any flash content within Firefox. I instantly get the following error: "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. Reload the page to try again.".
    So far I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, restarted my computer, and disabled hardware acceleration all to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

    Ok, so scratch my last response. Disabling hardware acceleration through Firefox (orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available" ) did not work however step 3B did. Following your link, right clicking on the Flash logo and disabling hardware acceleration there has fixed my issue.
    Thanks!

  • Error, The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. Where do I go to down load it or how do I fix it??

    Error, "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed." I get this error when I try to watch a video even on YouTube. Where do I go to down load it or how do I fix it??

    I'd start with disabling Hardware Acceleration, as described in the video troubleshooting guide below:
    Video playback issues
    If that solves the problem, make sure that your graphics drivers are current. 
    If it *still* happens with current drivers, please give us detailed information on the graphics card and driver, so that we can disable hardware acceleration on this configuration and start a conversation with the appropriate vendor.
    The best way to get this information is to do the following (on Windows):
    Open a command prompt
    Type: dxdiag
    Hit Enter
    This should launch the DirectX Diagnostic Tool
    Click Save All Information (or whatever that save button says).
    Paste the contents into a reply here, or you can click Use Advanced Editor in the upper right of the reply window, and then attach the file using the link at the bottom right of the reply window.

  • I often get the message "The Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed / Reload the page to try again" but the plugin check page does not list Adobe Flash.

    The plugin check page does list something called 'Shockwave Flash." I went to the Adobe site and downloaded and installed the latest version of Adobe Flash but it still does not show up on the plugin check page. I don't see how Adobe Flash can be crashing in Firefox when Firefox doesn't even know that it's installed.

    Your System Details List shows the Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0 plugin as installed, so you appear to have the Flash plugin installed.
    You can check the version of the current Flash player here:
    *http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    *http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
    What is the current setting for the Flash plugin on Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem for a while (FF 3.6.13,Win 7-32 on HP 8730w)and I cannot understand that the Mozilla foundation doesn't do anything about it.
    I tried to deactivate the Skype plugin that seems to be at the head of a lot on unstability but no use.
    Going to 70% of the websites with flash and having FF that hangs really sucks and I am close to re-install explorer on my PC Guys, so DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, Call the Adobe engineers and sit around a table or you will loose market share soon... :-((

  • I'm getting the error "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed" whenever I try and watch livestreams on Justin.tv, although any other content that requires flash works fine.

    I've tried uninstalling flash and firefox separately and neither helped.

    I cannot recall ever being this frustrated with my Mac and I have been faithfully using Mac for 20+ years!!
    I am currently using a Macbook Pro 2.3 Ghz intel Core i7 4GB RAM Mac OSX 10.7.5
    Problems encountered:
    Very slow browsers chrome, safari, firefox - have tried them all in hopes of finding one that works with no luck!!
    Adobe Flash crash error codes all the time.  I receive update request links from all three browsers asking me to update adobe flash software which I have done repeatedly numerous times with absolutely no success, just a waste of time and lots of frustration.
    Spinning rainbow sprocket is a common thing on my macbook, drives me insane!!
    I found this thread and followed the instructions to go into "System Preferences, Flash Player, selecting the Advanced tab, and delete all browser data and settings."  I then updated my Adobe Flash in my System Preferences, not the typical browser update method.
    So far, this method appears to be working - will keep my fingers crossed!!!

  • I just installed Firefox 8 and every time I try to go to YouTube or another other media site, everything says the Adobe Flash plugin has crashed.

    '''I have restarted the browser and reloaded the page countless times.''' If this is a glitch with Firefox 8, how to I uninstall it?

    Not quite sure if your problem is with Flash Player, or Adobe AIR, or both?
    For Flash Player, can you try if the problem still exists with the 11.2 beta: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplatformruntimes/flashplayer11-2/ ?
    There is also a AIR 3.2 beta if you want to try this: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplatformruntimes/air3-2/

  • The Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed

    Firefox, Crome, IE and Safari keep crashing when i load youtube or other sides that use the flashplayer.
    I already reinstalled my Windows (XP Home Edition) and have still this crashes.
    Deinstalling & reinstalling flash didnt help too.
    Shockwave - Version: 11.6.1.629
    Flash  - Version: 11.0.1.152
    AIR  - Version: 3.0.0.4080
    And if i try to start the game League of Legends i get the following Error : "Adobe AIR Debug Launcher hat ein Problem festgestellt und muss beendet werden." ( in english its something like :
    Adobe AIR Debug Launcher has encountered a problem and needs to close.)
    Is there any info when you guys can fix this ?
    many people are not able to use flashbased sides anymore and are not able to conect to Games than need the AIR tool.
    *sorry for my bad english, but i hope you understand what i want to tell you*

  • Adobe Flash plugin has crashed and help pages don't solve it

    I have ensured that I have the latest version of Firefox 9.0.1 and the latest version of Flash 11,1,102,55 but now whenever I try to load a page that uses Flash it crashes. I have tried reloading the page as suggested in the help pages and disabling hardware acceleration but this did not solve the problem.

    Just to say that I think this is actually a problem with my service provider so I would not like to trouble anyone else in this forum for the time being.

  • Why does the adobe flash plugin crash whenever I try to view a video file?

    When attempting to view video files, except youtube, the Adobe Flash plugin always (this is consistent) crashes. I have sent numerous crash reports. I have since the problem first occurred updated firefox at least twice and Adobe Flash has been updated the same number of times. I have not always had this problem, but now it is recurring. Note: the plugin does not crash if I use IE.

    hi WDWPhishFan,
    Have you looked at [[The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed]] and [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]]?
    The first article has a lot of good troubleshooting steps that might help. The second article actual lists a couple of plugins that can be used for opening PDF files. I'd give both of them a try just in case.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How do I fix the Adobe Flash plugin? It crashed.

  • Problem with Adobe Flash (plugin has crashed). Have updated, uninstalled etc.

    Recently I keep getting the Adobel Flash plugin has crashed message. Not aware I have changed any programs or software.
    I have ensured every thing in uptodate. Tried uninstalling and re-downloading. No success.
    Read your help page.
    Are there suitable alternatives to Adobe or is this limited by the websites that use Adobe?

    I am adding screen shot of Yahoo messenger to my previous question. Though it is in Japanese but there is a little English too which will be helpful to those who could not read Japanese.
