Updated FlashPlayer freezes firefox. I've tried everything.

I have the latest version of Firefox. The FlashPlayer update of 1/16 causes Firefox to freeze. I have Windows 7. I have tried all the "fixes" spending hours on this problem and it still exists. I tried uninstalling the FP update and installing an older version. No success. I keep getting the gray screen with "Would you like to install the pugin," but it is already installed.

Hello DavidCSchneider download the latest Flash plugin and :
1.'''Disable graphics hardware acceleration.''' You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
2.'''also, disable hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings'''. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
3.'''and finally disable Flash protected mode''' by following the instructions on these pages:
* http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
(See [http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html this Adobe blog post] for technical details about Flash protected mode.)
Please tell us if this helped!
thank you

Hi Patrick,
Yes, a very frusterating issue indeed. Someone else had mentioned a possible issue with real player, I tried getting rid of that and same issues. I even got completely rid of firefox for the moment. Guess what, problem still is persisting. I think this means it maybe something else altogether. I will go back to re-add firefox after I get this straightened out but now using Chrome for the moment.
What I've also found out is that the sound can be restarted when I unplug and replug in the 3.5mm speaker cable from the audio output jack on the back of the computer. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Error code U44M1P34 when trying to update Premiere Pro and After Effects- tried everything, nothing works

I am out of ideas here. I had several program installed for months with no issues. Every update was fine. I haven't moved any installations or changed configurations, etc. I have probably a dozen CC apps installed or more.
Then out of nowhere, I start getting an error U44M1P34 when trying to update Premiere Pro. After Effects updates give me a similar error.
1. Tried uninstalling these apps, then restarting, then installing again, but no luck. It tells me that installation was successful, but an update failed.
2. I tried clearing all temp files, etc. No luck.
3. I uninstalled EVERYTHING Adobe related on my computer. Restarted. Ran the Cleaner tool as admin. Restarted. Installed Creative Cloud then tried to install Premiere Pro. Same problem.
So after all that, including putting my work on hold so I can uninstall everything from my machine and try all this junk, it still gives me an error. I can't update those two programs, and maybe more(hard to say since some programs haven't had updates since this started, so it might be worse than just those two).
I was able to install programs like Fireworks and Muse without issue since these problems started.
I've pretty much read every post of every thread where this error message is at. I've looked at my log files, but don't see anything fatal(please tell me what I'm supposed to be looking for as the instructions given are vague at best).
I just need to get this stuff installed and updated. Any ideas? Since I've literally removed Adobe's presence from my computer, then started from scratch, what else is there to try? I haven't moved ANYTHING to another drive or partition. Everything is in the same place it was since 10 months ago when I started CC.
I'm running Windows 8.1 Update 1 64-bit. 16GB RAM, hundreds of GB of HD space remaining. Geforce GTX760m (also have the Intel 4600 integrated graphics, for whatever that's worth).
I've run both PP and AE just fine, and they even run fine without the update. But I WANT to update them.
Ideas or thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.
Brent

Well, the Adobe rep hasn't called me yet.
The good news though is that it's no longer an issue. Since the 2014 versions of the Adobe CC apps were released today, I was able to install/update just fine. So it was something with the previous update that was broken, or something like that.
FWIW, the new 2014 editions are fantastic so far. Some great improvements that I'm happy with. I just wonder whether this update issue will rear it's ugly head again with a later revision?
Time will tell. Thanks for the help regardless!

I updated mozillo firfox and now i can not open firefox. i have tried everything, uninstall and intall, tried to read other peopl's recommendation, nothing work

I updated firefox 27.0.1(x86.en-US) two days ago and now it is not opening. please help me, it is frustrating. I have been using firefox for a long time and I have saved a lot. can you please help me. I have checked under firewall and Mozilla firfox is not blocked. I have read every recommendation I could get to fix the problem but not working. I have windows 7

One of the suggestions probably was to try starting Firefox in its Safe Mode by holding down the shift key when starting Firefox. (This doesn't work if Firefox is still running hidden in memory.)
In the small dialog that should appear, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any luck?
Also, I will message you a link to download Firefox 27.0, in case the problem is unique to Firefox 27.0.1.

Lion mountain newest update :I loos the internet connection, but the network shows connected. And IPhone, IPad stay connected and work. Only the MacBook Pro , which worked perfectly before with Lion unless I updated to Mountain. I have tried everything.

I have a MacBook Pro, Early 2011, 2 GHz Intel Core i7 which I udated some days ago with Lion Mountain 10.8.2. Before it worked just perfect. Now, since the update, I loos the internet connection after a wile, (at the beginning every 20 sec, now up to 4 hours) even that the sign of the WiFi network connection shows to be perfectly connected.
My other divices like IPhone, IPad stay connected and work. The rooter is new and cannot be the problem. I tried nearly everything I found on the bloggs, but nothing helped actually. It must be a softwear problem on Lion Mountain, what can I do?
Thanks for any help

I FINALLY SOLVED THIS ISSUE!!!!
New routers have "mixed" modes for your network; this means that it will automatically choose the best option between wireless-B, wireless-G and wireless-N network modes. I used to experience this issue using the 2.4 GHz. mixed mode wireless network.
Thankfully, my router can create 2 networks: a 2.4 GHz. network and a 5 GHz. network.
When I randomly changed this value to "use only wireless-B and wireless-G" trying to fix an issue with a wi-fi expander, the iMac wi-fi issue dissapeared! I tried it with wireless-N only, but it didn't work.
So, finally, I have a 2.4 GHz network with only wireless-B and wireless-G modes which works PERFECT with the iMac, and a 5 GHz. network with a mixed* wireless mode for everything else mode.
*PD: by "mixed" mode it means that the router will automatically choose between B, G and N network modes as it fits better.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.

Which version of the operating system is it running now? (It is impossible for an iBook G4 to run Mac OS X 10.0.)
How much RAM is installed?

Iod Touch Problem with January Update - Won't load!! Tried Everything/

Dear all, Just thought I'd try my luck here for some help on the January upgrade. I'm experiencing all of the problems that everyone else are having but the usual fixes don't work. So I've upgraded my Touch to 1.1.3 and Itunes to 7.6.
The Download button wasnt visible so I reset my Touch. I was then able to purchase the touch and it downloaded. Then nothing. I had oricinally Synced with a different computer and had manual Syncronisation enabled. So, I reset my Touch again, set it to auto Sync and rebooted, re-synced, everything. Hours of trying different variations of restoring, syncing, etc. When I put my Ipod back in the cradle, I go to the purchase upgrade screen. If I hit "No Thanks, I get an error. If I try to purchase again, I get the message that it's already purchased. I've checked my download history and the upgrade is listed there.
I'm a windows/Intel guy and was starting to realise how cool Apple stuff was but well, now I think I'm starting to come back around.
Any suggestions ? Thanks to all and good luck!

Hi EC, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that doesn't work either. I've tried on two diferent computers too. Itunes 7.6 install, reset Touch, reinstall software, sync and no luck. I've double checked that my computer is authorised an that the January upgrade is in my purchase history. Even reset my touch via iTunes and via the Settings panel on the Ipod.
The only thing left that I can think of is to create a new account and re-purchase the upgrade. However, Im still not totally at ease with paying for an upgrade 2 weeks after the purchase, and Im not ready to pay for it twice.
Apple are you guys really this bad at running a business ? I will certainly with-hold purchasing any new product of yours in the future.
Cheers

The only different which I've found is that in Device manager my iPhone is not detected as "iPhone" but "MPT USB DEVICE".

Tried everything: Burned DVDs blink, pause and/or freeze altogether.

Hello there.
I live in a town in Mexico, where I volunteer screening art and foreign films for free at a non-profit cultural center. The place has a proyector and sound system, I bring everything else, coming out of my pocket.
I've been trying to show films we cannot get in Mexico, so I've mastered the technique of ripping and integrating spanish subtitles using DVDSP4. However, even as the subtitles seem to be fine, the playback has been a terrible pain in the neck.
I had a Sony DVD player, and at certain points the DVDs would blink or freeze up. I tried everything I could find out and think of, to no avail. Now I have an Oppo DVD player, and the video pauses for fractions of a second then resumes play, only to pause again a few seconds later, throughout the film.
As a test, I played a couple of straightforward 'ripped and burned' DVDs, and bingo, they play perfectly, so the error must be in something about DVDSP4. I'm using every trick in the book, firing with both barrels.
My media:
- Taiyo Yuden DVD-R, no luck.
- Verbatim DVD+R, no luck.
- Verbatim DVD+R DL, hit and miss.
For the build, I'm encoding One Pass VBR, minimun Bit Rate 4.0, maximum Bit Rate 6.4. I even tried a maximum Bit Rate of 6.0, no luck. Also, Motion Estimation either Best or Better, no luck.
I was burning on the SuperDrive Pioneer DVR-K04L, then bought an external Sony DRX-820UL-T. No luck.
I've tried Toast Titanium 6, 7 and Popcorn. No luck.
I've run Disk Utility to repair both permissions and the drive. No luck.
In a nutshell: Help!!!
A couple of thoughts:
1. Could the Tiger updates be the culprit?
2. Most of the time, the only subtitles I can find are from Spain, therefore in PAL format. I adjust the times to NTSC then integrate them to my project. Maybe this is the problem, but even if I turn off the subtitles, the problem persists.
If there's anything you can think of that might help me solve this nightmare, please let me know.

Unfortunatley what you are doing runs afoul of the Terms of Use of this Board. Even though a non-profit cultural center sounds like a good cause, doing what you are doing is copyright infringement, so people can get in trouble/kicked off here if they help. So if you do not get answers, it is not because people do not want to help or are being non-responsive
Sorry

Ipad2 facetime keeps freezing since update ios8.i tried everything

EEver since loading new ios8 software my wife and my ipad2 keeps freezing up on facetime.Keeps saying poor internet connection and camera freezes.I tried everything and my internet provider sent new modem with router built in.Same results.Any ideas or is this an apple problem?

I went to the Apple Store today and the Genius Bar people have confirmed that the problem exist. They even tried to restore as new too but the problem still arise. As they have confirmed that this is a software issue, they are going to pass these details to the software engineering department.
So for now, it looks like we are going to have a broken rear facetime camera

Every time I open Firefox it tells me that I need to update flashplayer, I download the update, it automatically tries to open as a ms word file

I cannot find a way to download a version of the update that is actually an installer rather than a word file. I am running a mac, os x 10

The file should end with .dmg, which normally is a system extension not associated with Microsoft Word. Is Firefox changing the name??
Since the same plugin is used by both Safari and Firefox, have you tried downloading with Safari?

Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

IPod Shuffle 2nd Gen suddenly freezes PC and I've tried everything, Help!

In the past few days, my iPod Shuffle 2nd generation suddenly started to freeze my computer moments after it syncs new music onto it or is plugged in for awhile. I've tried everything to find out why it's begun doing this. Here's what I've tried:
- I recently updated to iTunes 9 around the time it began freezing, and thought maybe that was the problem. I completely uninstalled it and installed an older version. Didn't work.
- I reformatted and reset my iPod to factory settings. Didn't work.
- I've done many complete virus scans on my PC. It didn't find anything.
- I've synced the iPod with another PC to see if it would freeze it. It didn't and works fine elsewhere, leading me to believe there's some software issue going on.
I've checked many forums and read many stories about similar issues but nobody has a concrete answer. I don't have a free Customer Service call left with Apple. Any body have any ideas?
My computer stats:
- Windows Vista
- Plenty of free space
- HP Pavillion notebook
- iPod Shuffle 2nd gen
- Currently using iTunes v. 8.2

Still no solution here, even with the help from Apple's tech support team. The first person I spoke with was the most helpful in knowing about this issue. He guided me on how to cleanly uninstall iTunes (all 6 components) and then reinstall. He said the Apple Mobile Device Support Assistant has been causing issues when updating and sure enough, I looked at the date when I updated to the latest iTunes, it was the exact date when my computer began having the freezing issue. Unfortunately, this didn't work. I completely uninstalled the iTunes again, and tried installing an older version. Didn't work.
I called Apple tech again today, and the person felt there was a conflict issue with other programs, so he sent me a guide on how to use msconfig to figure out which program could be doing that. Again, that option didn't work and iTunes froze again.
I really, really, really agree with the first Apple tech support person I spoke with that iTunes' latest version is the issue. It's no coincidence that the problem began right after the update occurred, but now I'm left with two iPod devices rendered completely useless since whatever was installed onto my PC in the latest iTunes has glitched up the system.

Updated FlashPlayer freezes firefox. I've tried everything.
