Why is adobe shockwave Flash being such a pain?

http://oi40.tinypic.com/2u5f4hf.jpg
It keeps doing this every time I use FF and it's going to make me stop completely if someone doesn't fix it.
I have been in the middle of doing work and it will do this, and I lose my work.
Google chrome is working better. And the only thing wrong is this Adobe Shockwave.
 Edited title to add "Flash" since, based on the linked image, this question is about the Shockwave '''Flash''' plugin. aw

jscher2000 - Thanks for trying. I was surprised to hear you can manipulate Adobe Flash settings via Windows Security. I'm stuck using Vista which might explain why I didn't recognize the path you offered - "Windows Control Manager, System and Security category" as I'd never heard of "Windows Control Manager"
If I go to Control Panel> System> Security Center, there is nothing for Adobe. I'd love to see all of the Adobe crap put on one page instead of strewn over that 8 popup proprietary Settings Manager the Adobe idiots designed.
Coincidentally (or perhaps not?), Adobe released an update of some sort shortly after my last slam at them was posted here. That didn't fix their motorbike demo,

Adobe Shockwave Flash Player crashing

My Adobe Shockwave Flash Player crashes every time I play a Zynga game on it. I uninstall it & reinstall it each time & I am tired of it. I have talked to other players who have the same problem. Do we need to find another flash that works well with games? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Will you guys pleaseeeee fix this crashing problem so I can enjoy youtube and all there wonderful websites again with no problems. This flash player came out yesterday but doesn't seem to help. Could I usre another flash player untill you guys fix the problem. If so what version? They say 10.3 but apperently that doesn't help. Gah. Its so fustrating! And so you know I have reinstalled it but that didn't help either. And I did do a cleaning up on my laptop. It didn't help the freezing on the web browser. But it did help it load faster but as I said. Everything keeps freezing and crashing. Please make a newest version that wont be doing this as fast as possible. Thanks

Why does my Shockwave Flash Player stop working on Firefox 27

Windows 7
Firefox 27

Note that you shouldn't confuse the Shockwave Flash plugin and the Shockwave for Director plugin as that are plugin for different content.
Does the Adobe test page still work?

Note that you can get a possibly colored Lego icon on the left end of the location bar that indicates that Firefox is blocking a plugin.

Why won't shockwave flash run on anything?

I recently got a Lenovo Yoga 2 (not the pro 2), and shockwave flash is not working on ANYTHING. I'm running windows 8.1 and use the latest version of chrome for my browser. I know that chrome has a built in plugin for flash (pepper flash) and I know the common problem is having two flashes enabled. I disabled chrome's version of flash and downloaded another flash player to use (macroflash) to use instead, just like every single website recommends. Well, that worked for about two weeks and then stopped working again the other day. I uninstalled and reinstalled chrome, and then I downloaded firefox, but I had the same issue on firefox as well! Which I thought was pretty weird. So, I checked out what my computer has installed: flash player and shockwave. I tried uninstalling flash player and using shockwave. I tried uninstalling shockwave and using flash player (all the while keeping chrome's version of flash disabled). I checked to see if my extensions were the problem, and they weren't. So, then I tried to play a movie on VLC and it wouldn't work either. At this point I'm convinced that something on my laptop is messing with flash, but it's brand new, so there isn't anything on it yet. I checked my firewall settings, and that wasn't a problem either. I don't know understand what went wrong at this point. My plugins are: chrome remote desktop viewer, widevine content decryption module, adobe flash player (shockwave flash 16), chrome pdf viewer, intel identity protection technology, native client, microsoft office (sharepoint and lync), google update, java (2 files), nitro pdf plugin for firefox and chrome, vlc web plugin, and microsoft silverlight. If any of those stick out as weird, let me know! I googled them all, and nothing came up as a problem.

It doesn't run on any iOS powered device.
You can try Skyfire in the app store if you just want to look at videos.

If you have hours to kill, type Flash into the Search box over on the upper right.

Why is Adobe Shockwave Player not installing on my mac, but telling me that it can't be installed on my computer and is saying it's not supported on my IOS version OS version?

I have a Macbook Pro and it's Using the latest IOS(Yosemite), but it's not allowing me to install Adobe shockwave. I go through all the steps and when I push install this comes up?

I thought this had been fixed in the latest version of the installer, but perhaps not. Try the option suggested in this thread

Why does my Shockwave Flash Player stop working on Firefox 26

Adobe shockwave flash crashes frequently how do i fix it

This plug in crashes constantly, I cannot use many programs because of this problem

my God ! had this problem too, but the following solution on some web site did the job for me:
* Run Reginout scan for active-x, file associations and other registry errors largely behind such crashes. http://www.filetransit.com/download.php?id=79029
* Try to uninstall the current flash player version. (Read this official guide to uninstall flash plugin: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
* Use official uninstaller tool to remove all flash elements from your computer.
* After completing the above task download flash player 9 instead of the latest version. However, latest version is preferred. for latest version visit this link: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Sometimes there are intricate browser flash conflicts and changing the versions is often helpful.
* if you are having problems while installing flash then read this stuff:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
* Update your sound drivers if possible since the videos may simply crash or freeze because of the corrupted or missing drivers.
1) Open Device Manager
2) Find the sound-card device
3) Remember the name of the device
4) Uninstall it.
5) After doing this restart your system and update the drivers if they are not automatically updated.

Adobe Shockwave Flash plug-in keeps getting 'Disabled'

I have all the latest versions of Firefox and the plugins...yet I have experienced this problem with the last several versions of FF - every 2 days or so the Flash Plug-in gets set to 'Disabled'.
To correct this I simply go in and re-enable it and the browser works fine again for several days.
I have done all the updates, the Flash update is the latest etc.
Any tips?

You appear to be running Firefox 16. The latest version is 18.0.1.
* http://www.mozilla.org
You appear to have Flash Player 11.4.402.### installed. The latest version is 11.5.502.146.

I have a problem with my comp"hanging". I noticed I have both adobe shockwave flash versions 12 and 13 installed. I want to get rid of version 12, but am unable

to do so.
I tried putting an X in front of the version 12 file name per help files, but that doesn't work, Firefox still says I have both version 12 and 13 installed.
Can help?
Thanks

That's probably what's causing the hangs. You can remove Flash 12 by going to the Addons window and click Remove next to version 12.
*Click the orange Firefox button and click Add-ons > Plugins. Remove it from that window

Why, oh why is setting up a WDS such a pain now?!?

I had a WDS of two AEBSs and an AExpress. I just added the new AEBS(n) to the flock, as the main base station, and I just can't seem to get them all talking. The AExpress seems to be the only one that likes it. For each base, I gave them all identical settings as far as the wireless tab:
Participate in a WDS Network
Network name is the same for all 4
b/g compatible on the older three, n/b/g on the newer one
Channel 3
WPA Personal all with the same password
All stations have the same password for configuration.
The only differences are of course in the WDS tab:
The three G stations are set as WDS remotes with the Airport ID of the N station as the Main WDS. The N station is set as WDS main, with all three Airport IDs of the G stations in the Remotes section.
When I look at the list of base stations, I see only the N, the Express, and one of the G-AEBSs.
N station IP: 10.0.1.1
AExpress IP: 10.0.1.2
G-AEBS IP: 10.0.1.1 (??? should be 10.0.1.3)
Any ideas?
This new admin software is soooooo frustrating!!

I have a question. When I was configuring my AE-N, I saw where you can configure the unit to participate in a WDS network, but did not see an option for it to be the WDS base like you can with the G unit. How did you do that?
I have learned that because a wireless device shows up as a 'base' in the configuration program does not mean it is truly a base station, just that it can be seen by the program.
Some experimentation has proven that the N is not a base but just another node on the network. The only way I got the N to be a true base was to set it to create a new network and then I could link my other wireless "bases" as nodes off of it.
