Why does Firefox freeze every time I try to install Adobe Flash player? I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it with and without the plugin container.

When I have Adobe Flash player installed and I open Firefox it will freeze up as soon as I open an additional tab other than my home page tab. In order to close Firefox after it freezes I have to use my Windows Task Manager to end process. As soon as I uninstall Adobe Flash player and reboot and then open Firefox it works fine.

Does it help if you disable the plugin-container process?

  • Why does Firefox crash every time I try to print?

    I am running Firefox 31.0 on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.7.5. I was having issues with mysterious add-ons that added new buttons to the toolbar on both Firefox and Safari. I un-installed Firefox and the Firefox settings folder, then re-installed Firefox from an earlier version (18.0) which automatically updates to the latest version.
    Every time I try to print any page on any website, the Print dialog box appears but Firefox crashes as soon as I click the "Print" (OK) or "Cancel" button.
    I have tried running Firefox in Safe Mode, but the problem recurs. I tried resetting Firefox, but the problem recurs. I tried resetting Firefox's print settings, but there were no "print_printer" or "print.print_printer" settings in about:config and no lines beginning with "print_" in the prefs.js file. I un-installed and re-installed Firefox after deleting the Firefox settings folder, and still the problem recurs.
    Crash reports:

  • Why does firefox close every time I try to send email with Hot mail and I have no other problems?

    It looks like other people are having the same problem with Hotmail from the posts in the Hot mail forum. They suggested I contact support for my browser. I thought Firefox was the problem, I uninstalled it and installed the newest version. CC cleaner is used every time my computer reboots and Firefox is set to remove history each time it restarts. I defrag and shred free space weekly. My computer has no other issues whether on line or off. The problem of Hot mail crashing my browser/s started over a week ago. I am able to access my account/read/ click on links/delete/clear spam folder . . . . but the instant I click on reply, new, compose, (?) any browser will crash within 20 seconds. There have been no recent changes to my computer BEFORE Hotmail began crashing my browser/s. I have had {removed email address} for many years and this is the first time I have seen this happen. I do not receive error messages, it simply closes my browser. Firefox is my primary default browser. As I said Firefox was re-installed AFTER this started happening. I have 3 gmail accounts , they all work fine. I have too many contacts in my Hotmail account to open a new account with another provider. This is my personal email not business. It look as if a lot of people are having this same issue with Firefox?!?

  • Why does fcpx crash every time i try to edit titles/text??

    why does fcpx crash every time i try to edit titles/text?? I'm trying to wrap up a project for work and now fcpx thinks it needs to crash every time i click on a "title" to edit it. It's making the completion of this project nearly impossible.

    nope, i'm just using the select tool "a" to move my titles .. if the inspector is open, the second i click on any title in any project the whole program crashes. but with the inspector closed i can move my titles at will without a crash. i'm not sure what's allowing me to manipulate titles since you've said Lion updates haven't fixed this function. and i'm not sure what's making fcpx crash to the ground every time i click a title with the inpector open. all i know is that this little loophole i've found is working for me and has allowed me to complete my project this morning which is awesome.

    My mac keeps asking for a password when I try to install adobe flash player. Even with the hint I'm not getting it and also tried uninstall and the same thing occurred.

    It's referring to the MAC password that you have setup.
    A software prompts for a password only when there are restrictions set on the user account for unauthorised access to system files and folders.

  • Why does iTunes open every time I try to open a download?

    I know I sound ridiculous, and I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious, but how do I change the default setting (iTunes) for downloads? Every time I try to open a downloaded game, application, or any other media, iTunes pops up to open the item (which is incorrect AND frustrating), and I can't figure out how to change this.

    Dunno. Do you have an example SVG that crashes Illy on your computer?

  • Why does it freeze every time i download something??

    it never did this before until i updated to 12.0. now every time i try to download something the whole browser freezes up and i have to restart it. i already deleted the download.pdf or whatever file its called in my profiles and it still does it. it's annoying. how do i fix this?

    Try to start Firefox in [[Safe mode|Safe mode]]. This mode disables all extensions, user customizations, hardware acceleration, etc. temporarily for diagnostic and troubleshooting. If Firefox works fine in Safe Mode, then this is likely an add-on issue. Restart Firefox in normal mode, then type "About:addons" (without the quotes) in the address bar. Disable your extensions one by one, restarting Firefox between each one, until you find the trouble maker. Once you do, you can disable that add-on and report the issue to that add-on's developer.
    A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this:
    Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
    Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
    Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
    Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

  • Why does it crash EVERY time I try to export?

    I have edited a book in Pages and every time I try to save it or export, it crashes. I am assuming it's because I made so many changes, but I NEED them. Any suggestions?
    Thank you!
    Francine

    Francine,
    If I'm getting this correctly, you can open Pages documents but not save or export. Are you certain that you are using a fully registered version of Pages? What you describe sounds a little like a Trial version that has expired. Sometimes we may have an expired trial version of iWork in addition to a more recently purchased fully-owned copy. Unless we eliminate this trial version we will continue to have trouble. Do you think this might be the problem?

  • Why does it timeout every time i try to sign in on my ipod touch?

    Have just received an ipod touch 8gb for christmas. Trying to set up but every time I try to sign in using my apple id it times out so I can't go any further

    Try disabing the computer's security software during the setup.  Also, i could be that the servers are overloaded.
