Way to Upgrade Memory for Flash Plugin (v11) for Firefox (v10)?

Hello!
I've been searching far and wide for an answer to this to no avail, so I'm hoping someone here can help me. As a part of my position at work, I am trying to work with a web-based Flash application connected to a Java back-end server. The data being rendered on the Flash side is very large and expansive, with many containers/layers involved. Since the processing seems to stall, then eventually crash the Flash Plugin in Firefox, is there any way to bump up the memory assigned to the Flash Plugin from within Firefox? I did see that the memory allocation is controlled by the browser, not the Flash Plugin, but I have been unable to find any place that describes how to accomplish this memory adjustment within firefox for flash plugin at all.
Thanks, in advance, for your help!

Hi Michael,
Not that I know of but I'll forward this along to one of our Mozilla / Linux experts. Have you posted over on the Mozilla forums to see if anyone there can help?

What is the cheapest way to upgrade memory for Macbook Pro

I want to upgrade my memory to 8GB in my MacBook Pro.
Apple are charging $400.
I've seen this for £50. Will it work fine? If not, where can I get the best 8GB memory for a good price?

It was Kingston memory (KVR1333D3SO/4G; the newer batches are the same part number but are marked by "4GR" following the slash in the number). I did not buy a paired kit as it was not in stock; this may have contributed to the performance drop.
The metric in question was Xbench's Memory Test, specifically the System > Allocate number. Before the upgrade, I routinely benchmarked between 2.5 and 2.9 Malloc/sec (or a score of 750-800). After the Kingston memory upgrade, I never saw figures above 1.6 Malloc/sec (or a score of 420-450); roughly half of what I had seen prior to upgrading.
Since installing my OWC memory (which came in a package of two sticks), the performance is generally identical to the OEM (Hynix) across the board.
Hope that helps/clarifies my observations.
That helps a lot. Thanks very much for clarifying that. Yes, Kingston Value RAM is definitely not the way to go, as it has not been tested for compatibility, nor designed for use in Macs. See my other posts in this thread.
Kington's KTA line, OTOH, is tested for compatibility with Mac systems, comes in matched sets, and is very reliable.
AFA Kingston RAM, bottom line for Mac users:
KVR = bad
KTA = good

How to intercept the Adobe Flash plugin block by firefox checking for vulnerabilities?

The trouble is the grey block, that asking to update Adobe Flash because the version is vulnerability. If the block of Flash object is smaller, then 100px height - there is an empty space, but not gray block with talking about version. I need to intercept the moment using JavaScript, when Firefox checking the version of plugin to make changes in my HTML code to make a GIF, but not flash.
How to intercept the Adobe Flash plugin block by Firefox checking for vulnerabilities from JavaScript code?

hello, i don't think that this would be possible (but i'm not sure). what you could do is try to sniff the version of flash that is installed & the firefox useragent and just assume that old versions of the plugin will be blocked in this combination.
if you need more help about that, i'd recommend posting in a forum that is more specialized & knowledgeable in web development like http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25, since we here on the firefox support forums are primarily focused on support for end-users...

Flash Plugin not using Firefox's proxy settings

Hello there
after observing that we cannot watch some videos (for example
<
http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/media/flexapp/>
or <
http://news.zdnet.com/2422-13569_22-204568.html>)
behind our company's proxy and firewall, I talked to our network
admins and they showed me that on some websites (not YouTube or the
like) it seems like the Firefox Flash plugin doesn't use the proxy
settings from Firefox but rather tries to directly connect to the
respective server, which of course times out. Using Internet
Explorer works perfectly. Has anyone had this problem and knows of
any work arounds or fixes?
Hope someone an help me/us.
Greetings from Germany

I am facing a similar issue with the flash content on my website (appnina.com). Any flash content is not displayed on my website.
The problem is because of using flash plugin in Mozilla Firefox (21.0 - updated). The flash plugin does not get activated by default. That is whenever opening the site, the flash content is not displayed. It asks to click the activate button. This activation should be one time, however it always asks to do so whenever opening the site.
I just checked and found that this flash problem is not specific to my website but in general (youtube as well).
Let me put the screen shot of the same.
Any permanent solution to this. Let me check if I can delete the old plguin and download it again to solve this issue.
The problem seems to be because of compatibility problem of firefox with flash.

Adobe Flash Plugin Crash in Firefox and IE

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.

Flash Plugin is causing Firefox to freeze

Recently, all of my browsers have been acting up. I use Firefox mainly, but ever since this issue started popping up, I tried Chrome and IE and the same thing is happening there as well. Every time I load up a page with flash on it, the flash plugin crashes, causing my browser to freeze up for 30 seconds up to a minute (I get "Not Responding" at the top too). If I uninstall Flash from my computer, I have no problems at all, but the second that I re-install Flash, everything goes haywire and doesn't work anymore. Even when I reload the page, the plugin just crashes again immediately. I currently have Flash 10.3.181.34 installed. Running XP, and FF 5.0.1

Please upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check

Sometimes adobe flash plugin hangs up Firefox

http://yadi.sk/d/crOfTWBVEDZLc
Look at this when I touch minimize button
The problem doesn't occurs everytime but it has a trigger definitely.

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:

Flash Plugin Settings in Firefox

I'm confused about the new on-line settings panel used by the
flash plugin. I use Firefox 3.0.3, and Flash 9. While trying to
load a website on my local drive i get a dialog that informs me
that flash has stopped the load due to security reasons and to
allow it to click "Settings...". This takes me to a macromedia web
site with the settings panel. Ini global settings, I try to select
Allow, and enter the full path to the folder where the web site
files are located, and click Confirm. I then reload the web site,
and get the dialog again. Looking at the settings panel, if I
choose a different tab and then go back to Global Security
Settings, it is reset to Always Ask and my path I just entered is
no longer in the "trust this..." box. Nothing I can do will load
this file.
However, if I swicth to the IE rendering engine (in Firefox),
the site loads as it should, with no warning, and plays the flash
fine. I suspect it may be a problem with the web site (generated by
Slideshow Pro in Lightroom) running in Firefox. But does it explain
what is happening in the Flash Settings Panel? I don't really get
that on-line panel. Any help or insight would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Any way to upgrade firmware for Pioneer DVR-K06 DVD-RW drive?

Finally got around to replacing the factory SuperDrive in my Mac mini the other day. The original drive NEVER worked right out of the box -- would read some CDs but not others, always barfed on burning DL DVDs, etc. My last experience with getting a mini fixed under warranty (mobo on my 1.42 G4 took a dump after a few months) involved two three-hour round trips to the nearest (and I use the term loosely) Apple Store for service. It was cheaper for me to just replace the optical drive in this one than to do that drive again.
Anyway, enough complaining. The replacement drive has firmware v1.01 and I would like to get it up to the latest available firmware to take advantage of any compatibility, stability, etc. fixes since v1.01. Problem is that I can't find any software that supports flashing the K06 drive. Hope someone here has a solution. I don't have a Windows machine with appropriate connectors to hook the drive up to or I'd go that route ... plus I'd much rather do it on a Mac just on principle ... plus I don't want to have to disassemble the mini again.
Any solution?

Hello Sang,
I have Sun Ultra 40 Workstation which comes with Matshita DVD-RAM drive.
Mine has D100 firmware and I find other people who has the same drive on different system have D101, D200, D201 firmware.
So does anyone know how to contact Sun to get the latest firmware for my DVD-RAM drive?
I did contacted Matshita for this matter and they tell me to contact Sun.
I did review the Full Components List for the Ultra 40. The only DVD drives listed (Part No. 370-7970) are Panasonic UJ-485 and Teac DV-W28SLA-093. Both aren't capable of reading or writing DVD-RAM.
In some countries Panasonic uses Matshita as brand name.
I did a search on SunSolve with the keywords DVD firmware.
Sun supplies only firmware updates for two DVD readers: Toshiba DVD 1401 (fixes: unable to boot from Solaris 8 DVD) and Toshiba SD-C2732 (fixes: returns incorrect data).
I was unable to update the firmware of the SD-C2732 (Sun part) with the Sun patch. The drive was attached to an Ultra 10 (with an adapter). I ended attaching the drive to a PC and using a DOS boot floppy with the Toshiba flash program and the Sun firmware.
Regarding you problems with the drive: Have you tried another brand of media. The Ultra 40 is under warranty (GA date was February 14, 2006).
Use the contact information from your other thread.
If you search the net for firmware you can locate sites that offers region-code-free firmware for several drives. Usually they provide a flash program (requires creation of a DOS boot floppy). Using these programs/firmware voids your warranty. Maybe you can not revert the firmware upgrade.
These slimline drives have no jumpers, the installed firmware (of the drive) determines if the drive is master, slave, uses cable-select (CS) or reversed CS.

Why Do I Have Multiple Versions of Adobe Flash Plugins in FireFox

Hello,
I usually have 2 versions of Adobe Flash plugins installed in Firefox at the same time: the most recent version and the prior version which remains behind after an update. I usually disable the older version but sometimes this also affect the updated version leaving me without Flash capability in FireFox.
This week I updated FireFox's Adobe Flash plugin to 12.0.0.43 but was surprised to discover the 2 prior Flash versions also remained. Now Firefox had 3 versions of Adobe Flash plugins. I discovered the Adobe Flash uninstaller and uninstalled all Flash from my computer. Surprisingly when I reinstalled Flash player in FireFox, again 2 versions were installed: 12 and 11. I attempted to use the uninstaller on FireFox alone but it did not recognize the older Flash plugin, only the updated version 12.
The recent Adobe Flash update, version 12, is a 'Critical Security' update. Therefore, I am a bit anxious to resolve this issue. I hope you can assist me with this issue.
Thank you.
Windows 7
Home Premium (64 bit)
FireFox 26'''bold text'''

I might have thought the uninstaller would have found and deleted the old FlashPlayer. Maybe it was a custom install and in an odd location. (I suppose another possibility is that registry entries are wrong).
Try totally uninstalling FlashPlayer using the Windows Control panel, before re-installing. Then check with the FlashPlayer uninstaller before reinstalling again.
Note whilst doing this that Windows Internet Explorer has its own FlashPlayer plugin that is separate. You will need to reinstall both the Fx fox & IE plugins afterwards. Also note that for 32bit Firefox you will need the 32 bit FlashPlayer.

Shockwave Flash plugin hangs Firefox, how do I stop this?

The shockwave flash plugin consistantly hangs firefox with everything Youtube related. I can't watch any videos of that format (which seems to be most videos.) Whenever this happens, I have to end the plugin_container process from the task manager. How can I stop this from happening? Is this issue being addressed? If this continues, I will be forced to switch away from Firefox permanantly.

What is the best way to upgrade my iMac (2.66GHz, early '08) for Photoshop?

I'd be grateful for some advice on the most cost-efficient way to upgrade my iMac. I had thought of replacing it this year but am hoping to stave off that decision for a while. My reason for upgrading is that I use photoshop a lot, with big files (some up to 1Gb), many layers, panorama stitching etc. My options seem to be:
- Upgrade to new iMac. I appreciate there are several advantages to this. Faster processor, faster graphics card, support for more RAM, possibility of fusion drive etc. The question is whether there are some low-cost steps I can take instead that will make a big difference.
- Upgrade RAM. This is probably a no-brainer. I only just found out that my iMac (Model 8.1, early '08, 2.66GHz) can actually take 6Gb not the 4Gb that Apple says is the maximum.
- Replace/add hard drive. I had been thinking of replacing the tiny 320Gb HDD (using iFixIt guide). However, I noticed that my external HDD on FW800 (WD) seems to run faster than the internal one, which surprised me (tested using BlackMagic - read/write speeds approx 55 on internal, 70 on external). So maybe I just need to upgrade the external drive (new HDD in same enclosure?).
- SDD. I like the idea of a small-ish SDD, on which I would put my start-up partititon, photo apps (photoshop, lightroom, photomatix etc) and probably the current project. Photoshop would be pointed towards it for the scratch file. I think even a 120Gb SDD would work well and speed things up a lot. I would probably aim to use iFixIt's enclosure for the SDD that replaces the optical drive.
So... if I replaced the RAM ($80), increased the external HDD to 3Tb ($150), and inserted a 120Gb SDD ($120), that would cost $350 and would give me the extra memory, the speed of SDD for start-up and all photo files, as well as a good size storage increase in the HDD. This compares to probably $2000 for the iMac I would purchase with RAM upgrade.
Will this give me a *big* improvement or am I mostly limited by the processor speed (can I overclock?) and video card?
Very grateful for any thoughts.

Hello,
RAM is the first...

You wouldn't want to overclock anything, unless you add a bunch of extra cooling.

HT1338 My Mac Book Pro is currently runnng OS X v10.5.8. When I check for updates by clicking the apple icon it tells me that my computer is up to date. What is the easiest way to upgrade to OS X Lion? Do I need to get OS X Snow Leopard first?

My Mac Book Pro is currently runnng OS X v10.5.8. When I check for updates by clicking the apple icon it tells me that my computer is up to date. What is the easiest way to upgrade to OS X Lion? Do I need to get OS X Snow Leopard first?

Yes, there's been no updates to 10.5.8 for quite awhile, next is paid Upgrades.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It looks like they might still have it...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
Lion/101.7 System requirements
    •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    •    At least 2GB of memory, I say 6 GB
    •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
    •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, I say 50 GB.
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.
