Why does Shockwave Flash add-on prevent multiple clicks in a field?

Using Firefox 19.0 and Shockwave Flash 11.6.602.167 (11.6.r602). Mac OSX 10.8.2.
Problem is that I can left-click once in a field and enter data, but if I click a second time, the field will no longer accept input. I have to click outside the field first, and then I can click inside the field to continue entering data.
For example, I click inside a field to enter my user ID. But if I move the mouse back to the first character and then left-click, it will not allow me to enter data. Disabling Shockwave resolves the problem.
This problem occurs on two separate machines - Macbook Pro and Macbook Air.

Use the Plugin-based browsers .exe version for Firefox.
The 16.0.0.2'''96''' is the latest from Adobe at moment even though it is vulnerable. https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsa15-02.html

  • Why Does Shockwave Flash Keeps Crashing In Firefox?

    I've been using adobe shockwave flash player with no problem for the last six years. Recently I brought a new computer, windows vista and downloaded the adobe reader and shockwave player.
    Everytime I go to watch a video on the internet flash player would crash and a message would pop up saying, "Adobe Flash Player 11.5r502 Has Stopped Working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    I'm using the latest release shockwave 11.5.502.149 and my computer doesn't have any malware or viruses on it.
    I would appreciate it greatly if someone could help me with this problem as it means I can't watch any videos at all and because the flash player shuts down everytime I go on adobe.com or youtube, I'm force to disable the program just to stop the constant error messages from popping up.
    Really would appreciate any help or advice on how to fix this problem.
    I using firefox 19 if that helps.
    Does anyone know what data execution prevention is? It keeps popping up after I close adobe.

  • Why does Shockwave Flash "stop responding" only around 1-3 pm? Works fine mornings and evenings.

    For the past couple of weeks I've been having this issue. Everything works fine all morning, and then mid-afternoon, Mozilla goes haywire and I get an "unresponsive plugin" error message, telling me Shockwave Flash "has stopped responding". It derails my entire computer system, everything ends up "not responding" (every single window, tab, program, even pictures and Word documents) then after I spend half an hour moving at the speed of molasses to save, close, and restart things, then it continues working just fine for the rest of the evening. It ONLY happens around 1 to 3 pm.
    It's aggravating to say the least. And I can't figure out why. Everything I have from Adobe is up to date, all of my plugins in general are up to date, and I've been using the same exact websites for work for years but this has only cropped up recently.
    Any ideas? Should I just take a long lunch and avoid my computer from 1 to 3?
    PS: I'm the only person home, and my wifi requires a password, so it's my internet service fighting a crowd or anything.

    I'm not paying for Norton for the toolbar, I like the Internet Security options in general.
    It has this "Vault" that stores all your website passwords, and "Identity Cards" to store financial information, addresses, etc. I feel safer having this information stored in Norton (which I gave the most unique and secure password I could think of) rather than storing these details on individual websites.
    Heaven forbid anyone ever steal my computer, they won't be able to access ANYTHING unless they can hack into Norton, which is the only password I hand-type. Before I got it, I used to have Firefox save it for me, but there was no security in that. Anybody could open up, say, Amazon.com, and log right into my account, and instantly have access to my credit card and change the mailing address. Using Norton Internet Security, they can't get into any of my accounts (shopping, banking, email, etc), and even if they do, they won't find any sensitive info available.
    As for Firefox 22, I just clicked "update" the other day (before then canceling) because it specifically said the plugin wasn't available, and I need it for the options I just mentioned. The next time it prompts me, I'll look again and see if it's ready yet.

  • Why does Shockwave Flash often run wild?

    I notice that Shockwave Flash frequently runs out of control (consuming >90% of the CPU), heating up and slowing down my MBP until it is killed. (The process, not the laptop.) This happens up to several times per day.
    I'm visiting, as far as I know, mainstream news sites and youtube, using Chrome.
    What could I be doing wrong - how might I fix it? Thanks.

    Try asking on a Flash forum.

  • Why does my Flash movie need to be clicked in twice

    I'm sure this is something really dumb and simple I haven't
    done correctly, but it's my first time actually running a Flash
    project inside q browser. I used the html that was generated by the
    publish process, and when the page launches, there is kind of a
    dotted line around the Flash project and then it seems I first have
    to click inside that frame before any of my buttons etc. work. What
    have I done wrong?
    Thanks for help.

    Oh god .. here we go again .. Obviously someone has been
    living under a rock
    or on a deserted island for a few months :)
    This is due to Microsoft IE changes required to avoid
    infringing the
    (stupid) EOLAS patent. It applies to all Active-X control
    that can interact
    with the user.
    If you are viewing a web site, you cannot really do anything
    to fix it,
    except complain to the web master
    Here is a link to find information on how to fix your website
    to cope with

  • Shockwave Flash add on.

    I have Shockwave Flash add on (latest update). I have it set to "always activate" - but on a Firefox restart, it reverts to "never activate" and no videos can be played. I can rest it to "always activate" and it works fine until - I stop Firefox then start - the add on once again reverts to disabled.
    For some reason Firefox does not remember it's setting and I have to set it every time Firefox starts.
    Any clues?

    If you find a <b>user.js</b> file, delete it. If you find a <b>prefs.js</b> file, delete that as that will remove any set prefs by user.js
    You should also try Safe Mode to see if any of your extensons are causing htis
    Start Firefox in <b>[[Safe Mode | Safe Mode]]</b> to check if one of the extensions (orange Firefox button, top left corner ([[Image:new fx menu]] for v29+)/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: orange Firefox button, top left corner ([[Image:new fx menu]] for v29+)/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
    *'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole

    I've seen a couple of other threads over the last 10 minutes posting similar problems, so it appears to have affected other people as well - the poster on the first thread has now posted again saying that it's now working for him, so you could give it another try.

  • 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 my usage add up to 9 but remaining is 18 on a 32 gb mini

    Why does my usage add up to 9 but remaining is 18 on a 32 gb mini

    You did not add in "Other".
    What is "Other"
    1. Cache for apps, browser, mail, Messages, Reading List
    2. Saved games
    3.Documents and data
    4. Notes
    5. Voice Memos
    You can backup and restore to reduce "other" but they will start building up over time.

  • 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 the i5 add a contact to my contacts list for every person I have ever emailed?  My 4 didn't.

    Why does the i5 add a contact to my contacts list for every person I have ever emailed using Outlook and Gmail?  The i4 didn't have this issue.

    Hi drewskiiiiiiiii,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's Contacts application acting oddly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • 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.
