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 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?

From System Preferences > Preference Pane click on FlashPlayer > Storage and see what you have selected for options.

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

Adobe Flash Player Plugin crashes in ALL browsers while accessing webcam

Hi,
I am struggling to get my adobe flash player plug-in working while accessing webcam.
It simply crashes in all browsers. I googled this issue and realized many users are facing this issue.
However I did not get any solution to fix this. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling plug-in multiple times but of no use.
Following are specifications:
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (32 Bit) SP3
Browsers: Internet Explorer (8.0), Chrome (8.0), Mozilla Firefix (3.0)
Webcam: Dell monitor inbuilt webcam
Flash Player version: 10,1,102,64
Please note, the webcam is accessible through other applications (e.g. Yahoo! Messenger, Skype, Windows Explorer)
Also, Adobe Flash player doesn’t give any trouble while playing streaming videos on YouTube etc.
Trouble is only when flash player tries to access webcam through any browser (eg. while "Record from Webcam" on YouTube)
An interesting observation I like to note here, the device list that appears in the plug-in window is blank for both video/audio devices (See the area encircled RED in the image below)
Not sure, but just suspecting could this be potential reason for crash?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Struggler

Hello all,
My doubt was correct. It was all due to the blank device list. After lot of struggle I found this solution worked for me:
1. As soon as the plug-in tries to access webcam, it will show you "Adobe Flash Player Settings" box
2. Click Deny then Close to close it
3. Now press tab key on keyboard. It will highlight (in yellow) and show list of devices in video device dropdown control (This could be little bit tricky and you need to put little bit more efforts to see the list). You can now select your webcam as device here.
4. Press Tab key again to go audio dropdown and select audio device.
5. Then right click and bring up "Adobe Flash Player Settings" again.
6. Under Microphone and Camera tabs, make sure we select same devices we selected in 3 & 4 above
7. Come back to privacy tab and this time chose "Allow" and then close "Adobe Flash Player Settings" box
8. You should now see the camera images in the plug-in
Conclusion: This is a workaround worked for me. Plug-in is quite unstable and there is definitely something here Adobe Flash Player plug-in developers need to do about.
Hope this workaround helps many other users.
Thanks,
Struggler

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 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.

Flash Plug-in Crashes across all browsers despite re-install

About a week ago, my MacBook's Firefox browser started crashing whenever I checked my hotmail or Youtube, failing to load the flash content in either a banner add or the Youtube video, I uninstalled flash, and the problem went away, only now I am unable to visit youtube or access any flash content on the internet. The problem extends across browsers to Safari and despite reinstalling, trying to revert to an old flash player, even downloading the full trial version of Flash from this website on the suggestion of a tech support person from this site, I have been unsuccessful. The browser crashes whenever it comes across any flash content.
Can you help me?

I left it at 10.0.12.36

I support a bunch of Mac users and one of them (10.5.7 MBP) ran into this same
problem last week with both Safari and Firefox crashing with the flash player
plugin. If I removed the Flash Player plugin and the .xpt file there was no
crashing but no flash either. I used a combination of different suggestions and
here's what finally worked (so far anyway):
Show package contents for Firefox/Contents/MacOS/components and Get Info
changing perms for read/write for everyone.
Re-installed shockwave plugin using the customized full install (this made no
sense to me since I had made no change to shockwave but as I was testing the
browsers I was prompted to install it, so I did)
Repaired permissions
The version of the Flash Player plugin that ended up installed on this Mac is
10.0.12.36. I started off installing the newer and recommended 10.0.22.87
version but it didn't fix anything. I inadvertently went backwards as I moved
plugins in and out of the Library. I didn't want to change anything once it was
working so I left it at the older version. I hope this helps someone else.

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.

Why does adobe flash player want to download on every website I try to go to?

After signingin to my website, and trying to go to another thru a visual tag, I get a message from adobe to doenload the flash player. Isn't once enough?? Can't the programmers send a tag to see if it has already downloaded the flash player??
I'm just an old fart, but they should get their heads out of the sand and put a tag into the add on tag to see if the flash player has already been downloaded. If so, continue with the site downlosd.
This crap just makes it harder to access websites.

That would be 11.
There are Windows 8 troubleshooting tips here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.h tml
But the problem is more likely IE11 itself. Aside from Vista, it's just about the worst garbage Microsoft has unleashed on the computing public, ever. They intentionally altered the "User-Agent Strings", which websites use to identify the browser and provide the proper content for it. Some sites ID it as a Gecko browser (Firefox), while others ID it as a Webkit browser (Opera or Safari). Problem is... when the site ID's it as either of those, the browser specific content supplied REQUIRES the correct browser engine... which IE doesn't have and never will. So, it then becomes an "unrecognized browser". The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon. In fact, since they though this was a great idea, I seriously doubt they'll change it at all.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using a different browser. Trouble with that is... it's seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Why does my Flash Player keep freezing during video play back?

I have the very lastest version for Windows 7 64bit OS and it keeps freezing during video play back. The previous versions did not do this. I have to keep the cursor moving inside the video window to prevent the player freezing. I have deslected HARDWARE ACCELERATION and it does not help. Why is this happening and how do I correct this situation?

Right click ANY Flash content and choose "Setings".
Click the folder icon (center tab) and increase the storage to at least 10Mb.

I am at my wits ends right now and I dont know what to do. Can any one help me please

I had the same issue when I had created Flash Paper items. I had found the a solution on my opinion.
http://www.eolsoft.com/freeware/flash_movie_player/
you actually need a Flash Movie Player and not Flash Player. they are different. the only issue is that Adobe does not support this anymore.
so what I did is placed the EXE file of Flash Movie Player found on the link above on my server, made a note to my viewers that Flash Movie Player is required to view the documents.
I found this solutlion when my boss asked why he could not view any of the Flash Paper Documents
