What can I do about my Adobe flash crashing which in turns causes my Plugin Container to Hog the CPU and Mem?

Ok. I have read several different fixes on several different forums, but so far I haven't heard of a solid fix. My Adobe Flash Plugin keeps crashing on my computer. Its getting slightly irritating. I have been to the Adobe forums and the only answers I seem to get over their is finger pointing at your Graphics card being the problem. I know mine isn't because it is brand new. I can run any top end game on my system and my system will barely lag if at all, so I know it isn't memory and Graphics related, yet when I go to load a few tabs on Facebook, The Browser will start lagging real bad and eventually either hang completely or Adobe Flash will crash. I don't believe it is a Firefox issue, although the New Firefox Beta's do have issues they are working on resolving. I firmly believe it is either a compatibility issue somewhere between Adobe or it is just a programming problem in Adobe. I dunno tho. Like I said It is getting really frutrating having to send an error report and either reload the page or shut the browser down completely and restart the Firefox. Does Anyone have any ideas as to whats going on or any Solid fixes? Please don't tell me to talk to the people over at Adobe again. lol. If I hear Its a problem on your end one more time I will scream. lol.

Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''' and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools '''('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' as well as Firefox's hardware acceleration which can also be manually disabled via '''Tools''' > '''Options '''> '''Advanced '''> '''General '''> '''Use hardware acceleration when available'''. If it is okay in safe mode + all plugins disabled except Flash, you can try to narrow down the cause from there.

  • What can I use instead of adobe flash 9?

    What can I use instead of Adobe Flash 9 on iPad mini?

    There are a number of apps in teh app store that provide "translation" type services for flash content (iSwifter, Puffin are a couple, there may be more). Basically these apps take the flash video content and route it to a third server that converts it to a different format and then routes to your device. Reveiws are mixed and they may not work with all flash content.
    Alternately, you might check to see if the specific sites youare visiting have their own apps.

  • I have lost track of the number of websites that do not work properly on the iPad without Adobe Flash player which is unsupported. I cannot use retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. All are missing tabs, links, info

    I have lost track of the number of websites which do not work properly on my iPad. They include retail sites, billing sites and most important of all job application sites. They all seem to require Adobe Flash Player which cannot be downloaded onto an iPad. Skyfire does not solve the problem. They all load without vital parts of the site such as tabs, links and correct formatting. Any suggestions?

    Most such brower/service combinations have a difficult time working with Flash-based apps and often fail completely. Flash videos are usually the most successful content these browers can handle. You can try the others apps - Puffin, iSwifter, etc - but you may find that none of them work, in which case you will not be able to use your iPad with these sites other than by using one of the various remote control solutions to take over a computer running the full Flash Player.
    IMHO, any developer that built a Flash application for a billing or job application site was an idiot, but I know that's out of the control of anyone but the relevant company.

  • What do I do about this adobe flash player problem

    On a vehicle website and I can't play a video or run any application because it says I need to get adobe flash player? I tried to do that and it's not letting me. Should I just download an app to fix the problem or what?

    There is no app.
    As has been discussed here over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, Adobe does not make a flash player and likely never will.
    Do a forum search and you will find countless posts on this.

  • What can I install other than Adobe Flash to watch videos on Macbook Air?

    Hi There
    Complete newbie having switched to mac a couple of days ago... loving my lovely new mba, however still trying to figure lots of stuff out... one of which was I read somewhere that if you install Adobe Flash Player it eats your memory and the battery life. However, I can't seem to find anything else to install instead  - I did find some info on Click to Flash, and tried installing something - but videos still don't play. I watch a lot of catch up tv through the BBC iPlayer and alike, but currenty can't watch any of them - please help!
    Thank you

    Hey hpr3, thanks for your reply! Are you sure it doesn't cause issues... As I said, I am a newbie to mac's - always had pc's (with flash player) but was just concerned cos whilst researching which laptop to go for I stumbled across lots of comments about adobe flash using lots of memory and decreasing battery life faster... just wondering why so many people had commented that it was an issue when I was just reading general mba reviews... any ideas?
    Thanks again!

  • What can I do to get Adobe Flash Player to work?

    Adobe Flash Player repeatedly crashes. I've tried installing it multiple times, both from Firefox and directly from Adobe with no success. I get the message also that Shock Player has crashed.
    Any suggestions as to how to fix this, please?
    Thank you,

    Your More System Details doesn't show "Shockwave Flash" which could indicate that it is set to "Never Activate" (such plugins are invisible to websites).
    This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
    (1) If you have any recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media make sure they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.
    (2) Disable hardware acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    That takes effect the next time you exit and start Firefox up again.
    (B) In Flash, right-click the media and choose Settings, then the first mini-tab and uncheck the box to use hardware acceleration. More information in this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    (3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista and higher)
    The protected mode feature of the Flash player plugin has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems. You can disable it by creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts provide different approaches for that:
    * Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    * Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
    * Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078 (alternate version of Carm's batch file with a few changes by me: [https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=f7d304d92388737d&id=F7D304D92388737D!336&ithint=file,.bat&authkey=!AP2FXW2Y_3BXZyo])
    Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.
    Any improvement?

    Do not worry. Hold Sleep (the button you have at the top of the phone) and Home buttons at the same time until your phone restarts, and then try installing the iOS update again.

  • What is Apple's substtute for Adobe Flash Player on iPad?

    What is Apple's substtute for Adobe Flash Player on iPad?

    Until Adobe can develop a version of Flash that works for mobile devices that is stable and doesn't hog memory resources or ***** up battery life, there isn't much anyone can do about this!
    Android devices claiming to run Flash are having these issues, too. Steve Jobs and Apple simply won't allow Adobe Flash to with their mobile hardware/software with the state of affairs with Flash, now. If Adobe has a breakthrough and can develop a version of Flash or some sort a content providing software that works and plays well with mobile devices and platforms, the situation may change. For the foreseeable future, Flash is going to be absent on current and future Apple mobile devices.
    On another note, PPC Macs are obsolete technology that is, at least 6 years old. OS X 10.5 was the last Mac operating system to still support PPC Mac architecture. This OS is , at least, 3 years old. OS X 10.4 Tiger is, at least 5 years old.
    You can't expect either Apple or Adobe,or any hardware/software manufacturer/developer, at this time, to keep supporting older technologies. Especially, anything 5 or 6 years old or more. It's just not cost effective or practical.
    Technology marches on. There are many of us, probably, still using PPC Macs, including myself. We're all in the same boat.
    At some point, we're going to have to play catch up to the latest and greatest to be able to stay current on the grid and to be current with new technologies, hardware, and software.
    I do not think this is a rational reason to jump ship on a company who, arguably, makes the best technology hardware/software integrated devices and computers in the world.
