  • FireFox opens & Adobe Flash Plugin crashes in a WOT "automatic" download.

    WOT “automatically downloads” on a separate tab every time I start FireFox. Almost every time I start FireFox the Adobe Flash Plugin crashes in the WOT automatic download and ties up my PC. The problem does not occur with Internet-Explorer which I seldom use.
    1- I removed WOT and re-installed it, but it continued the same.
    2- I reinstalled the Adobe Flash Plugin which I always keep up to date.
    3- Please work this out.
    4- Why must WOT automatically download on a separate tab every time I start FireFox? It is very annoying.
    Thank you for all you do. Have a blessed day, Steve Lahey.

  • Firefox 16.0.1 Crashes, Not Responding with Unresponsive Script Warnings and Adobe Flash Plugin Crashes

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing some issues with Firefox 16.0.1 which I had also experienced with Firefox 15.0.1.
    On numerous occasions Firefox has crashed while attempting to access a website link contained in an AOL e-mail message.
    Unrelated to that issue, Firefox has hung up frequently with associated unresponsive script warnings and occasionally with the Adobe Flash Plugin crashing. Some of the unresponsive script warnings are:
    http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js:127
    http://e.huffpost.com/elections/assets/pregeneral_rr.js?d2e0923f3d19471c9e93c391a701ef30e3f427e8:1

    I've reset Firefox and disabled all the plugins and yet these problems persist.
    What are those script warnings actually telling me and are there any recommendations on how to resolve these issues?
    Thank you,
    Mike

    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • I have a license for all adobe files but recently i had a virus and all my files were deleted.Now when i want to have them back with my redemption code it says that i cannot use it anymore.But my license is not expired.How do i get my files back??

    Your redemption code was used to acquire an activation code.  The activation code is what you need to use when you want to reinstall/enable the software again.  Check your Adobe account online to see if the number(s) can be found there.

  • 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.

  • On Paltalk Express,the Adobe Flash plugin crashes when logging in

    The Paltalk Express page loads,but when I try to login,the Adobe Flash plugin crashes.
    == URL of affected sites ==

    I'm running on Ubuntu 9.10 with Firefox 3.6.10.
    thanks to the first post, i didn't downgrade Firefox to 3.5 but i did download 3.5.
    Here is what i did:
    I downloaded 3.5.13 : http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    The link to 3.5.13 is on the right under Other Versions.
    Once you click on FF 3.5.13, it'll take you to all different languages of 3.5.13.
    I got the English version. The name of the file is : firefox-3.5.13.tar.bz2
    Once downloaded, i opened the location of the file( Downloads folder) and opened the package by double clicking on it. YOur 9.10 should be able to recognize bz2 format and you will see a folder called Firefox in the archive.
    Simply, extract the folder and place it on your desktop.
    IF you want to run FF3.5.13, close all firefox browsers that are already opened.
    Once this is done, Open the folder "Firefox" that you just extracted and double click on the file firefox. It should ask you to run, display, run in terminal... simply press run.
    This is how i got it to work. simple steps. to confirm it is working, check the version of firefox and try paltalk express

  • When I try to print coupons, I get a message that the coupon printer plugin has crashed. I've tried following the instructions for when the Adobe Flash plugin crashes, but reloading the page does not work. Just sits there for 5 minutes doing nothing.

    Happens when going to print.coupons.com. I click the "learn more" button on the message that the plugin has crashed, and I get sent to the Adobe Flash plugin crash info page on Firefox. They say just to reload the page. There is a button for this. I click it and the page tries to reload for 5 minutes before freezing.

  • Adobe Flash Plugin Crash in Firefox and IE

    About a week ago my firefox and internet explorer browsers haven't been able to play any flash movies.  For example, I go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flash.html and click play on the main video section that pops up and the adobe flash plugin has crashed screen appears.
    I also uninstalled and reinstalled flash to the newest version and back to version 10.3 as well and both of these things did not fix the problem.
    Please let me know if you need any other info to help fix the problem.  I appreciate the help!

  • As prompted by Firefox, I updated my Adobe Flash plugin. Now I have no sound for any Internet site. Any ideas?

    I updated the Adobe Flash plugin this morning. I have tried turning the computer off and powering back up with no difference. My volume controls are not muted and volume is not affected in non-Internet applications.

    Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />

  • 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!

    I am reading an e-book and the screen has become blurred to the point I cannot see the letters. Other pages are patched grey. I checked the ebook in another computer and it shows no problem. Also, when this happens, other web sites get blurred or patched. Do you know what can it be?

    You can try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. See if that helps.
    But if it doens't or if hte issue repeats you may want to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out.
