The shockwave for director plugin has crashed

I do not know what a Firefox problem but even with the installation of another Adobe product I get a crash? So we are fed up with it all the time we get crashing?Man get a fix.

This problem is not related to computer problems or hardware, etc. So the real problem is in the Firefox browser as these problems are not solved a long time ago?
Note that I have a fresh system and it works great but you still get all these problems even with the installation of a new Windows system?
Man this problem is related to Firefox only and just want a solution!

The Shockwave for Director plugin is no longer working in Firefox 7 for mac

Dear Firefox,
I run a website which uses Adobe's Shockwave for Director plugin to view an animation. This plugin worked perfectly in Firefox for mac, up until Firefox 7. Firefox now sees it only as an unknown added plugin and the animation can no longer open. I have the latest plugin version installed from Adobe, which works fine in Firefox 7 for windows, in Safari (mac, win) and Internet Explorer (win). The Flash plugin is also working fine.
In the preference panel, I have allowed Adobe to install plugins. Do I need to change other settings? Is something stopping Firefox for mac from properly loading the plugin?
Many thanks for your help.

Have you tried this one?

The Web-Based Email plugin has crashed. I get this message when trying to paste simple text into an email document. I have updated plugins and have run out of options. If I use another browser I have no problem. Please advise.

UPDATE
Compiling from command line I found out that the class definition for oracle.oats.scripting.modules.basic.api.IteratingVUserScript is missing. Do you know what .jar file contains this class?
Thanks.
Fede.

No option to uninstall Shockwave for director plugin

I want to get by without Adobe and have uninstalled all but am left with this shockwave for director plugin that only give options whether to activate or not. But I want it gone. How do I do that?

Thanks. The about:plugins way worked. I couldn't use the control panel as it didn't list the plugin.
Good to know this method as there are some other plugins that got installed that I don't think I need, or use, so I can declutter.

The shockwave for director v-12.1.4.154 is showing as unknown plug-in.

shockwave for director v-12.1.4.154 is showing as unknown when tyied to see if my plug-ins are up-to-date or not.

It may be possible to reinstall the add on, however I think you have to remove it from the Control Panel.

"If you get this error while viewing a webpage, it means a plugin has crashed. You can send a crash report to Mozilla by clicking on Send crash report. " but why do I not get the button "Send crash report"?

This is the most recent upgrade to my Firefox version 3.6.8
Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100723 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.8
Since then, every web page that makes use of the Adobe Flash plugin shows me grey windows with the message "Adobe Flash plugin has crashed".
When I follow links telling me I can find out more I am taken to a Firefox Help page that shows an example of the same grey window with the same message. But there is a difference: directly under the "Adobe Flash plugin has crashed" message is shown a another message that says: "Send crash report". The Help page instructs me to click on that message because it is intended to be a link.
Unfortunately, on all the grey windows displayed to me on any site where this problem arises, no such message: "Send crash report" is present. So how can I send a crash report?!

You have the Ubuntu-specific build of Firefox - released as a package in the Ubuntu repository - and that has been built without including the ''crash reporter''.
(So-called 'contributed builds' usually lack the updater - in the help menu - too, because they have their own updater.)

I keep getting the message that my adobe flash player plugin has crashed what can I do to fix this

I keep getting the message that the adobe flash player plugin has crashed what can I do to fix this problem

Maybe post your question in the Flash Player forum?
http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer

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.

Plugin Check keeps flagging Shockwave for Director despite latest version

When I point Firefox 4.0.1 to the Plugin Check page
<http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/>
It flags the following plugin as outdated:
Shockwave for Director
Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5.9
However, I have the latest version of Shockwave installed (11.5.9.620) installed. Reinstalling the plugin does not change how the Mozilla Firefox Plugin Check page sees that plugin.

Thanks Helper7677.
So, paraphrasing your answer, the Adobe Plugin isn't identifying itself fully (.620), hence the Firefox Plugin Check page thinks my copy of the plugin is out-of-date.
I had checked the Adobe sites you noted, so I was sure I had the latest version. I was thinking this might be a bug in the Plugin Check page, but you've now cleared that up.
Using Property List Editor, I examined the Info.plist within the bundle for this plugin. It identifies the plugin fully in several key-value pairs as '''11.5.9r620''', but the WebPluginDescription key it has the value:
'''Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5.9'''
If Firefox is collecting that value, then passing it along to the Plugin Check page, that explains why the Plugin Check page thinks my version is obsolete.
I don't know how Firefox checks for the version information for the plugins it loads, but if it checked the "Bundle versions string, short" key for this plugin it would find the correct version (assuming Adobe always populates that field correctly).

I have updated my Adobe Acrobat plugin three times today but the firefox plugin check says it is out of date, a problem as I repeatedly encounter "The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed" when I attempt to download pdfs.

I am attempting to download pdf's from a library search on JSTOR. I can view the pdf but cannot download them as they say "The Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". I have been to the firefox plugin check and have updated Adobe Acrobat three times in the last hour, but it still says my plugin is not up to date. This leads me to believe that this may be the source of my crash errors.
I updated Adobe Flash from the same firefox plugin check page and after one try it now says I am up to date, so my system is obviously accepting these updates.
Help!!!!!

The following solution is useful for people who have the full version of Acrobat 9, but are getting the error message "the Adobe Acrobat plugin has crashed". You probably want the features in the full version of Acrobat, but still need to be able to open PDF files from your Firefox browser.
Go to Tools > Options > Applications. Scroll down and change all of the Adobe Acrobat files to open with Acrobat 9 (or whatever version you have) instead of "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". This may not be as handy as having it use Acrobat inside the Firefox browser, but it will still let you open PDF files without having to uninstall the full version of Acrobat. Hope this helps.

The adobe plugin has crashed it happened right after i agreed to stop some plugin and not show the notification again

after a notification about stopping or continuing a plugin came up it ask for permission to stop the plugin or continue it so i believe i pressed it to continue not a 100% sure on it .right after that no videos on youtube or any other websites would work it read the adobe flash plugin has crashed. i updated the adobe flash still having problems

This problem has plagued Firefox for years now, and there seems to be no end in sight for a fix.
There are all kinds of possible solutions, some you will have found that simply do not work, b/c nobody knows why it happens.
Some of the forum fixes include:
1) disable hardware acceleration in Firefox
2) use safe mode which is not a solution just makes the browser not use any plugins and the browser like its from 1995
3) Use flash in protected mode
I posted those because that is what you will mostly hear on these forums and someone will surely mention to you, so feel free to search and try them first if you so choose.
I have tried all of these things in the past and were completely useless to me.
I have found only one solution that i personally came up with that does not appear to be accepted on these forums due to the fact that nobody understand why it works, nor is willing to suggest or test it. But it has worked and the proof is in my blogs that it does work for some.
First before we get too far into things.
Open a cmd prompt and close Firefox.
type or copy/pate one line at a time:
del C:\Windows\Prefetch\PLUGIN-CONTAINER*.pf
del C:\Windows\Prefetch\flashpl*.pf
del C:\Windows\Prefetch\firefox*.pf
del C:\Windows\Prefetch\FLASHPLAYERUPDATESERVICE*.pf
del C:\Windows\Prefetch\PLUGIN-HANG*.pf
Now open the page and test to see if that seems to help out or not. Hopefully it will.
note: these files will eventually recreate themselves so no harm is done. it is my believe that there is stale data withing some of them that conflicts with current data.
If this works, then head on over to:
http://firefoxcrash.blogspot.com/2013/12/firefox-crashes-adobe-flash-player.html
for a further explanation, and a way to keep those files cleaned.
Also, make sure you flash players are up to date and cleared of any old installs.
http://adobeflashcleanup.blogspot.com/ there is a bat file that will uninstall, clean up , and go to the adobe site and get and install the latest versions of flash for you. all automated
IF not, then i am sure someone will be able to tell you what they have been telling everyone here for years.
Best of luck

in the command prompt would i press enter after every line that's pasted

answer is yes
you can also create a bat file, by simply renaming dumping the contents in a .txt file and changing the .txt to .bat
i would recommend trying the below in bat file. This will simply keep these files clear until you close the window, and will run in a loop as said until you close. this type of fix resolved my issue, but i compiled it to an exe so it would run silently. The forum moderators seem to slander and persecute me for creating scripts even in bat where everything in bat can be seen when they are clueless to what is going on. Im trying to make an easy solution to the problems that nobody here knows how to solve
@echo off
:start
del C:\Windows\Prefetch\PLUGIN-CONTAINER*.pf >nul 2>&1
:: remove the >nul 2>&1 if you do not want to see messages like files does not exist for example
del C:\Windows\Prefetch\flashpl*.pf >nul 2>&1
del C:\Windows\Prefetch\firefox*.pf >nul 2>&1
del C:\Windows\Prefetch\PLUGIN-HANG*.pf >nul 2>&1
timeout 60
goto :start

am i doing right?

I have the latest plugins and firefox but it still says 'adobe flash plugin has crashed' How do i fix this?

Every time I go on YouTube, it comes up with: 'adobe flash plugin has crashed'. I have tried refreshing and restarting my laptop, I have also got all the latest flash and Firefox, but it still won't work.

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.

My macbook pro says Shockwave Flash plug-in has crashed pretty much every day. I have to shut the computer down and restart it. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening?

Download the latest version from here ONLY:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
also, make certain your Mac OS X software is completely up-to-date. There is a Trojan Horse that pretended to be a Flash update, and installed Flash with malware included. The latest security updates removes the malware and all older versions.
