Why does my flash player always crash with Firefox?

Flash player always crashes and slows my browsing. Firefox is updated and so is flash player yet never works.

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers<br>https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • Why does Adobe Flash Player keep crashing and then apparently uninstalling itself?

    why does Adobe Flash Player keep crashing and then apparently uninstalling itself? Is this not clear enough?

  • Why does my flash player keep crashing?

    when I'm in the middle of playing games or streaming videos the screen goes blank with a grey dot in the center. It tells me to install the newest flash player (which I have to do in order to make things work at least 2 or 3 times a week) so I know I'm running the most up to date version. I've tried the steps on the flash support page on the main website but nothing works. it is very frustrating to not be able to run basic applications without needing to reinstall flash on a near daily basis. I would greatly appreciate some help.

    What is your operating system & version?
    What browser do you use?
    What is your Flash Player version?
    What is your display adapter?

  • Why does adobe flash player keep crashing? Very anoying during a game.

    I play a game on Facebook and the Flash player continues to crash and tells me to restart my page. Only this one game, the rest of the games I play, there is never a problem.

  • Why does my Flash player freezes/crashes on all browsers. Mouse will flicker, etc

    I've reinstalled flash, cleared settings, cleared cache, checked on another user account, etc. All was working fine before I did a new SSD install. I copied the older hard drive to the SSD and everything else seems fine.
    When loading a page with flash on it, if its simple flash it may run but not allow you to scroll. If it is more complex like a video it freezes up, the mouse might disappear or flicker alot while this is happening.
    Other current issues include that the screenshot and grab program does not work. And some screen savers said they could not work on this version of OS X (I'm running 10.6.8)
    Thoughts? Could it be the graphic card even though it was working fine before?
    Thanks so much in advance

    Exiting FULL screen is triggered by one of three things.
    1. Pressing "ESC" on the keyboard - a "user input".
    2. Clicking the "toggle" on the player interface, which placed the video into FULL screen - again, a "user input".
    3. The page refreshing or new content loading in the page - can be "user input", or something like a javascript or ad in the page.
    Since Chrome uses its own "proprietary" plug-in, which functions independently of the ActiveX (IE) and Standard Plug-in (Firefox), you can uninstall and reinstall all day long and it'll have no effect on Chrome. You can't download or update "PepperFlash" from here.
    If you go to the Chrome Settings:
    Click "Show advanced settings..."
    and click "Reset browser settings"

  • Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Because McAffee pays to have their installer "bundled" with the update. It's not right, and the "blind installer" in the update (with no opt out) has been documented and reported.
    You can download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly (without any bundled installers) by clicking one of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Bookmark those for future use.

  • Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • Why does Adobe Flash player crash so much?

    This is not the first version of FireFox that Adobe Flash player crashes on. It happens 2, sometimes 3 times a day, my browser locks up for 45 seconds or so then I see the "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" yet again.
    I've read the forums, tried suggestions but it continues to crash.
    I want to keep using Firefox, but I'll have to switch to chrome and just use firefox for the better firebug.
    I'm sure this is adobes issue and not firefox, but there's not much I can do.

    Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

  • Why does the Flash player update push me to install McAfee Security Scan Plus?

    When Flash asks me if I want to update, it takes me to an Adobe page to update it, but there is a checkbox already checked to install McAfee Security Scan Plus. I already have an anti-virus program installed. Why does the flash update page assume that I want to install this software?

    Generally this occurs because there's a third-party plug-in that affects how the JavaScript on the page got executed.  Ghostery, AdBlock Pro and NoScript are common candidates.
    Under normal operating conditions, you should see an opt-out dialog like the one below.  While cost-recovery measure are a reality for a product that is tremendously expensive to develop and distribute free of charge, the intent is absolutely to allow you to opt out.
    If you want to avoid the download and installation experience for Flash altogether, switch to a browser that includes Flash Player as a built-in component, like Google Chrome or Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher.
