Why does shock wave player crash in both firefox and internet explorer after latest update?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have cleaned my beowser history. I have leaned my registry. I do not know what to do and it is interupting my game play. DOes anyone know a fix? I use windows 8.

On all sites, or one in particular? What about the Welcome page - does it crash too?

    Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; Tablet PC 2.0; .NET4.0C)

    I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
    In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
    Here is a run-down of my process:
    0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
    1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    ( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
    2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
    3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
    Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
    4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
    5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does Shock Wave keep crashing? Only crashes on Firefox browser.

    Every time I use Firefox browser, I get the error message: "Shockwave Flash is either busy or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the plug in now, or wait to see if the plug in will complete." I also get another one saying that the "Silverlight script is still running" and then I have to wait several minutes before I can view the page. I have uninstalled Silverlight Flash and reinstalled, yet I keep getting either that message or the "script is still running" one ONLY on Firefox. It freezes my web page screen for several minutes. When I use Safari, this never happens. Plug-ins work just fine. It appears that without Silverlight or Shockwave Flash that I cannot watch any videos. I tried YouTube and couldn't open any videos without Silverlight.
    Please don't suggest resetting Firefox because I've already done that. I still cannot open Yahoo.com home page because I keep getting an error message and I have to go around it by opening news.yahoo.com instead. I have Windows 7 on an Acer laptop.
    Meanwhile I have reset my default browser to Safari, even though I don't have an Apple computer. It works better than Firefox. Are you planning on fixing the rampant plug-in problem with Firefox?

    I have the exact same problem on my ipad mini. It says 'google earth is running low on memory' and crashes.

  • Why do I see two different versions of a website on Firefox and Internet Explorer? The version on Firefox is an older version of the website.

    I use Intuit to maintain a website. After I update the website, Firefox continues to display the previous version while the revised version is displayed on Internet Explorer. I have tried using both Firefox and Internet Explorer when I revise the website, but that does not appear to make any difference. The version on Firefox usually updates to the new version with in a day or two, but the change on Internet Explorer is immediate.

    Try clearing your browser cache.
    Tools > Clear Recent History... - hit Details and make sure only Cache is selected, then select Everything and hit the Clear Now button.

    I asked for this post to be moved to the forum where it belongs, but that hasn't happened.

  • 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 unchecking the "use automatic configuration script" box on Internet Explorer 8 fix connectivity errors?

    As long as I have been in the job and we have been using IE as our browser, we have controlled the proxy settings with an automatic configuration file.
    Recently, with IE8 on WinXP and Win7, we have had situations with the user getting various connectivity errors. By unchecking the "use automatic configuration script" box, they start working. But we don't change anything else.
    These error are not consistent from machine to machine.
    We are in a AD Domain environment
    These are the two errors I have documented.
    Error: 5
    Description: The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
    Access to resrouce is forbidden by server while attempting to access server at
    http://content.mpl.org/cgi-bin/admin/pwtest.exe?CISOVER=60.
    Please check the permissions to the file on th eserver.
    Two very different problems. Both somehow fixed by unchecking the box.
    The config file itself has not been changed in over a year.
    Can anyone explain why unchecking this box, but not making any other changes to the proxy settings would fix connectivity problems? These are all external sites that need to go through the proxy.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can use the steps in the following thread to disable this option:
    uncheck "use automatic configuration script" in IE LAN settings

    Or try to
    reset Internet Explorer settings and select use automatic configuration script to see whether it could work.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does the BlueCross/BlueShield of Massachusetts website function on Internet explorer and NOT on Firefox?

    The necessary items on some of the BC/BS drop down menus do not appear when using Firefox. I had to open that same provider website in Internet Explorer in order to enter claims correctly. Not sure how a web browser alters content and functionality of websites.

    This is likely because the website is using ActiveX, which is only supported by Internet Explorer (it's very insecure, which is why no other browser supports it).
    You can try:
    * [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]]
    * If that fails, contact the webmaster.

  • Firefox and Internet Explorer both close after 5 minutes of being idle

    Both Internet Explorer (11.0.2) and Mozilla Firefox (Mozilla Firefox yahoo! edition yahoo - 1.2.1) close simultaneously after approximately 5-10 minutes of being idle. I've tried reloading both to no avail. I switched to mostly Firefox usage because of it's stability. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank You in advanced for your time and attention in this matter...[email protected]

  • Firefox and Internet explorer both show server not found

    Hi,
    Could you explain the issue with Firefox Desktop or Mobile?
    In the Question you mentioned "Internet Explorer" and in the Thread product you mention "Firefox Android"
    If its Firefox Android, try the below steps
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
    #Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
    #Tap '''Settings'''.
    #After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
    #You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
    #*Cookies & active logins
    #*Cache
    #After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

  • Flash player not installing on Firefox or Internet explorer...

    I downloaded firefox as my alternate web browser. I play games and things of the like on my laptop, which is a Toshiba Satellite C655 (I'm pretty sure it is ). My flash player works on Google Chrome, but not on Internet Explorer or FireFox. Any help? I've downloaded it (or so it says) 4 times since Sunday night, but everytime I go to play the game, the game says I need to install adobe flashplayer. And this is multiple games so it isn't the game.

    Yes, I have downloaded and installed it. My windows version is Windows 7, I don't know what you mean by edition hmm, do you think it's the ActiveX thing people have been having trouble with? It is in those two folders. these are what are in the folder:
           C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
              Flash64_11_2_202_233.ocx
              FlashInstall
              FlashUtil64_11_2_202_233_ActiveX.dll
              FlashUtil64_11_2_202_233_ActiveX

    If that makes any sense to you, and I hope I did it right, then can you tell me what the problem is?

  • Why is Safari shutting down my other internet programs like Firefox and Internet Explorer?

    I just got an ipod not too long ago and when I plugged it into my computer, it installed not only itunes but safari as well. Everything was fine until about two weeks ago. The program Internet Explorer stopped working one morning. I didn't think Safari had anything to do with it. A few days later, Firefox shut down. Both said they could not connect to the internet. I was looking at my bookmarks in Safari yesterday, and I realized that Safari had moved over all bookmarks from Internet Explorer. How can I keep Safari from interfering with Internet Explorer and Firefox? And how can I bring Internet Explorer and Firefox back to life?
