Win8.1/Chrome 64bit: NPAPI Flash Player crashes on every page with Flash content

Hi,
Chrome 64bit (beta+) crashes on Win8.1 64bit, if I use the NPAPI Flash Player (v15 beta or v14 stable) and open a website with Flash content.
More details here:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=402262

Turning off NPAPI in Chrome 64-bit will be a very bad move. I'm using a Windows 7 Setup, with a Core2Quad 65 nm CPU and a pathetic Geforce GT 8500 GPU that is basically worthless. PPAPI flash betas are available as a standalone now at this point, but I have done lots of side by side comparisons, and the PPAPI plugin is absolute garbage compared to the far superior Netscape architecture based plugin. I'm not the only one saying that. I have found loads of forums, and instruction videos online to fix Chrome video playback on youtube for instance. I have to install "Magic Actions for Youtube" addon for chrome so that I can disable HTML5. then I have to go into the plugins menu on chrome and disable pepper flash. I keep the 64 bit flash betas regularly updated this way, and I am getting peak performance. Once in a blue moon it will crash, but I think that is Google's fault. HTML5 should not be the default option in youtube. Compared to Flash, it does not have great GPU acceleration ability, and HTML5 in 64-bit doesn't even perform superior to 32 bit web browsers, where as 64 bit flash is a leap forward, as long as it's the NPAPI version, that is. Problems I have with the HTML5 and also Pepperflash are very similar. The audio is out of sync with video, and the cpu is maxed out from memory leaking. I'm skipping frames and seeing glitches left and right. The seek functions in pepperflash never work right on youtube, you have to click an inch before wherever you want the video to play. On and on. Pepper flash has audio crackle. You can't get rid of the crackle from pepper flash or HTML 5. Yet, with NPAPI 64 bit flash beta in 64 bit chrome canary it plays PERFECTLY. once in a while I have it crash, which i think is the fault of the fact that I have to use an add on to force off HTML5. Why would I want html5, when flash NPAPI 64 bit produces superior picture quality on all quality settings. It's better in every conceivable way. Shame on Google for not putting more care into 64-bit flash on 64-bit Chrome. It couldn't possibly be a more important deal! You can tell pepperflash and HTML 5.0 are an afterthought. It's only youtube playback quality. why would that matter to google? OMG...
While I'm at it, I have one other issue that blows my mind. Adding command line flags in Chrome 64-bit (Canary) in Windows. Why do we have to add them through a shortcut in the "target" line? The target line runs out of space after 3 or 4 commands! I wish they would update Chrome Canary to allow for unlimited command lines to be added. It should be an option to add Command Lines on the About:Flags screen. I am so disappointed in these two glaring issues. It keeps me up at night.

Flash Player crashes on every browser?

I know this topic seems to be common, but a lot of the things I have seen in other posts really has not helped me at all.
So, I think it's my turn to ask.
I am on Flash 11.2.202.235.
My OS is Mac OS X Lion.
No matter what browser I use, or at least the three that are on this computer, they all don't work and there's no crash report that could help me at all. It crashes every so often after maybe, 2 or 3 youtube videos or 5 or 10 minutes of seeing anything that would require flash.
First, when Flash Player crashes on Google Chrome 19, the whole webpage turns white, and I have to reload the page countless amounts of times until it works again.
When I try in Firefox, an error pops up that says "The Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed. No report available. Reload the page to try again." With a very depressed looking lego block.
When it crashes in Safari, the area of what is supposed to be the thing using flash becomes white and nothing happens.
I've tried reinstalling, clearing cache, deleting the browsers and reinstalling, and all of that, but, it continues to crash and I hope someone could help me!
Thanks!

Flash player crashes in every browser

Hi everyone,
3 weeks ago I bought a HP Pavilion g6-2052sd laptop. since the first day i used it I haven't been able to play any videos on the internet (youtube, facebook etc.)
For example when I go to youtube and click on a video it starts loading and then it just stops loading and my browser and operating system freeze. It stays like this for about 5 minutes and then I get an error message saying that my flash player crashed.
After that my browser and operating system start to function normally again but I still can't play any videos because when I do everything freezes again.
I have updated all my video and audio drivers and even re-installed my browser and flash player. I have also tried using different browsers(Internet Explorer, Google Chrome) nothing i've tried works. So I am hoping that someone here can help me out.
I am currently using:
HP Pavilion g6-2052sd laptop
Windows 7 home premium 64-bit
Firefox 15.0.1
Flash player 11,4,402,278
Video driver AMD Radeon HD 7520G version: 8.941.1.0
Audio driver IDT High Definition Audio version: 6.10.6381.0

there was an identified hp security driver incompatibility. crashes seem to happen more frequently on HP laptops with fingerprint scanners. depending on the driver used, users would experience the constant crashes. if you fall under this... you can do 1 of 3 things.
install flash player 11.5 beta
install flash player 10.3
wait for the next official release
make sure to uninstall the flash player before following 1/2...
install flash player 11.5 beta - http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer11-5.html

Flash Player crashing on every website I go to

I'm running on windows 7 using firefox. I need help. Literally every page I go to flash player crashes about 4 times and I have to press "stop pluggin" and wait 30 seconds for the page to respond over and over. I'm about ready to either give up on adobe or firefox. I've done the whole uninstall and made sure I have the latest version of flash player and it is enabled. The next step on correcting the problem was to go to the help page and open settings by right clicking on the Adobe logo, however, I couldn't do that because flash player crashed and I had to "stop plugin", therefore I couldn't even see the logo. I don't know much about computers, but I was able to correct the constant crashing problems on my mother's computer pretty easily. Mine is now worse and I can't fix it. Please use layman's terms, I'm an English teacher, not very tech savvy. I've been having trouble understanding some of the instructions I've found in these forums.
I'm trying to prepare for the school year, and I can't work with this constant issue! Please help!
Thank you!

I am just as frustrated as you are, sadly enough. I have tried EVERYTHING!!
Have you had any success, and if so, will you share the solution please.
Thanks

[FP 11.4 & FF 14.0.1] Firefox hang on every page with flash-content

Hi at all
I have a problem with the new Flash Player, let me explain it:
We have a windows-domain with software distribution via GPO.
Since update to 11.4 via the msi package (11.3 was previously installed) we have in the meanwhile 3 PCs (all Win7 x32 with FF 14.0.1 and Flash 11.4) with this problem:
- While loading a page with Flash content, the Firefox simply freezes and have to be killed together with plugin-container in order to work again.
If this happens, ff and plugin-container have 0% cpu-usage. It freezes and does nothing...
If I remove Flash: Web-pages are working, but without flash.
What I've tried:
reinstall using flash-uninstaller
Using "normal" end-user web-installer
Uninstall via Uninstaller and tried 11.3 again
reinstall Firefox, both 14 and 13
Nothing helped to bring Flash-support back.
This happens only on FF, Internet Explorer is working fine...
Can someone give me a hint?

The key here will be to determine what is different between the machines that work and those that hang. Of all the systems that fail, they are all Windows 7 32bit?
Yep, this issue only happens on Windows 7 32-bit machines, currently 6.
Do you have any 32bit systems that don't fail?
Yep, the most Windows 7 32-bit machines wont fail.
What about hardware, are there similarities here? Attached devices/drivers? Software that is running at the time?
These machines are all from DELL. They all have normal hardware, nothing special. Other machines from same type does not affected. Software: All have standard software distributed via Software-distribution (GPO). Only some PCs have special software, but it is not running. No special drives, too.
Maybe try booting Windows in safe mode to see if it still hangs?
Good idea, indeed - I will try this.
We're definitely interested in what's going on. I'll ask our security and Mozilla folks to see if they have additional clues.
Thanks!
EDIT:
Safe mode: Flash is working! (without disabled Protected Mode!)
I've set msconfig now to: Custom system start and deselected the boxes to load systemservices and system start elements.
So, now windows does a non-safe mode boot but no service or element was loaded except the drivers (right?). Flash is not working with this config!
So, whats the difference between safe mode and normal boot with minimal configuration (see attached picture).
Only drivers will be loaded, right? If so, I can exclude the network and graphics driver as source: graphics driver are updated right now and network was working in safe-mode.
Any new ideas?

With the latest Firefox, I keep getting error messages on Tumblr, and Flash Player crashes almost every time I watch a video on Tumblr.

This has been driving me mad for days now. I updated to the latest version of Firefox, but every single time I go to any webpage on Tumblr, (my dashboard, my personal blog, anyone else's blog) I am bombarded by error messages saying "too much recursion." I usually get anywhere from 3 to 5 messages per page. I reverted to Firefox 34 and can now access Tumblr just fine, but then I am faced with a different problem. When watching videos or vines on Tumblr, they can spontaneously lag, jitter, or stop playing. If I try to resume playing them, then they might start playing but all audio will be cut out. This seems to cause some kind of problem with Flash Player, because after it happens on Tumblr, then it will happen on ANY video playing site I visit. If I try to watch a video on Youtube, the video will spasm for a couple seconds and then go to static and say "An error has occurred, please try again later." I've tested it out on other video sites like Blip, and they also cause audio and video bugs. Even if I close Firefox and restart it, the issue will not be solved. The only way I have found to fixing the crashes is to manually reinstall Flash Player (which requires me to reset Firefox anyway). This has been a tremendous annoyance, as I have had to reinstall Flash Player and reset Firefox about five times on any given day for the past week or so. This is driving me to consider dumping Firefox for Chrome, and I don't want to do that.

Okay, I updated my graphics card drivers just for good measure. I also started Firefox in Safe Mode, and there weren't any bugs. So I isolated the problem by turning on my extensions one by one, and it turns out that something with my XKit extension was the cause. I manually removed XKit and reinstalled it directly from the XKit website. Now everything's working fine again when I use Firefox 35. Thank you!

Chrome, Firefox, IE all crash when leaving page with flash

   Hi,
I am running XP with SP 2 on a Intel Core Duo Dell machine. These are coporate machines. I've had two in the past two weeks and both are giving me the same error.
   After installing the latest flash player, all browsers are able to load a flash page. However, when leaving that page for another, all browsers stop responding. They don't crash, they merely freeze.
   Chrome indicates that the flash plugin has crashed and would I like to terminate it. The others simply stall.
   I've uninstalled, re-installed, rebooted.. etc.
   Interestingly enough, a fellow coworker who appears to have the same machine as I, does not have this problem.
   Any ideas on how to debug this ?
   Thanks
   J

i seem to have the same problem too....
chrome tells me that Shockwave plugin has become unresponse then says its crashed....
Firefox becomes unresponsive (i've left it in that state for quite a while..result nothing)
i uninstall flash using the uninstaller provided from adobe (or from add and remove programs, tried both options) and browsers run perfectly fine... of course access to flash content lost since i need the plugin...!
I'm running Vista Home Edition SP2
antivirus - AVG Free
particular websites that i use (all of them with flash content crash!!!) and that crash EVERY time - youtube, bbc.co.uk, facebook, gmail, f1-live.com, all sites with flash crash!!
i've tried everything i could find on firefox forums, chrome forums, and here... nothing works... now i'm gonna revert to flash 8 and try... hopefully adobe will respond to this problem... its not jus one or two who are facing this problem...!!

(Don't need the link to check if Flash player is set up, juste a solution... Please!)

Hi, You may want to go to this site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. Right click on the Flash logo, Settings,
then UNcheck the hardware acceleration in Display Settings.
Then make sure that in IE you have the Security Setting for the Internet Zone set to Medium.
Hope that helps,

Flash Player crashing on every code execution

Every time I run this code my flash player (projector) is crashing.
function ftwoB(event:MouseEvent) {
     navigateToURL(new URLRequest("lessons/lesson2/reading"));
¿Any idea why? ¿Any suggestions? Thanks

I'm a windows user. I do have an imac on the side of me but know very little on sys admin on it. I just use it for iOS dev. But I am an admin level account. Is your account admin level? I'm not certain this factors in but sometimes I need to "run as admin" on windows to rule out any access issues.
Can you explain more about "what" is crashing? The projector? The browser the should be popping up?
Also I believe a projector auto-sets the sandbox it's in to access local files only but you might want to check that option. I believe the dropdown is at the bottom as soon as you open your publish settings and hit the flash tab (sorry I use FlashBuilder now). Make sure that's on access local files only.
Lastly you definitely should put your code (that you know is failing) in a try {} catch() {} block.
e.g.
function ftwoB(event:MouseEvent) {
    try
       navigateToURL(new URLRequest("lessons/lesson2/reading"));
    } catch (e) { }
Just to keep it from crashing. If the error is in flash it will catch it and excuse it without crashing.
Start trying other means of accessing the file (who's properties you've hopefully verified you have read access to).
e.g. navigateToURL(new URLRequest("./lessons/lesson2/reading/index.html"));
e.g. navigateToURL(new URLRequest("file:///C|/path/to/lessons/lesson2/reading/index.html"));
See if any other alternate means of accessing the file works.
FYI I have no issue loading a local files. I made an extremely quick example that loads using your own code on my system. Just one button that procs that function and loads an index.html. I used a frame script to keep it simple and saved it down to CS4 as I don't know what version you use.

Flash player crashing on Windows vista with 1.3 gh Intel processor - Is there a fix or is my processor just to slow for Flashplayer 14? I am on Firefox 31.

I am unable to Disable Flash Player hardware acceleration if it keep crashing as I am unable to access. I have cleared, reinstalled, etc.... and tried everything on these forums. I have also submitted crash reports to Firefox.

Hi userSharonD, if Flash newer than Flash 11.2 causes problems, there's a good chance that is due to the protected mode feature added in Flash 11.3. It has security benefits, but is not compatible with all systems for some reason.
You can disable the feature by creating or editing a settings file. The following pages/posts provide different ways to do that:
* Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
* Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
* Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.

Flash Player Crash

I have Firefox 28.0 with Flash Player 13.0.0.182. The Flash Player crashes on every page with Player content rendering the browser unusable, as well. It's very annoying re-opening Ffox dozens times a day, so, I'd be very glad of any assistance. The "mms.cfg" operation (ProtectedMode=0) I've already done with no help at all.

Did you try to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin and in Firefox?

I installed firefox beta 5 and flash crashed on every page so i reverted back to firefox 4 and now flash crashes on every page of firefox 4. how can i fix it?

Ever since i installed firefox 5 beta and the new version of flash, flash crashes on every page with flash on it no matter what version of firefox i run, and flash wont let me roll back to another version. I need flash for my work which is due by the end of the day so any help yall can offer is appreciated.

well i fixed this for a bit by reinstalling ff4 and restarting but now the firefox 4 that i re-downloaded continues to very aggressively update itself to 5 beta without asking me. it just notifies me once its done it telling me to restart and once i close firefox, boom. flash crashes every minute or so and freezes my computer. I love firefox. i have used it for years. but if no one can help with this problem or at least tell me how to stop firefox 4 from updating to firefox beta 5 im gonna go download something else because im losing money fighting with firefox to get my work done which is now taking 10 times longer to complete. i really want to keep using firefox but this is kinda ridiculous guys... I understand that betas have bugs but dont make me use it without asking me first...

11.6.602.171 version of flash player crash in youtube videos with windows 7 every version in every browser. so for the time i just installed the previous version 11.5 to work. i hope in the next version to fix it

- Revert to 10.3 : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5110961?tstart=0
This is the problem with "the newest and greatest". New version, new bugs to be shaken out. Try that and see if it works.

Firefox crashes when loading any page with flash. I have tried all available fixes including plugin updates. If I disable flash the crashes stop, but no flash.

Firefox crashes on any page with flash. I have the most recent version of Firefox on OSX Snow Leopard. I have made sure that I have all the most recent plugins and extensions and I am not running any custom theme. I have completely un-installed and re-installed Firefox and flash to no avail. I think the problem is in some user preference, but I cannot seem to find it. If I log out and use a different user on my machine, Firefox does not have the flash crash problem.
== Crash ID(s) ==

JYOuyang: I have the correct plugin for Flash. My problem is not the "Flash crashed" icon, which would be generally acceptable, but FIREFOX crashing, usually rather dramatically. I have since regressed to Firefor 3.6.3. I am still using Flash 10.1, the newest version. This no longer causes Firefox to crash. Now then -- if the same plugin causes no crashes in the new version of Firefox and does cause crashes in the prior version, it is not exactly a humongous leap to conclude that maybe, just maybe, there was a bug introduced in Firefox 3.6.4? I mean, it's not as if a major feature of 3.6.4 was a significant change in how plugins interact with the browser or anything... oh, wait, there was, wasn't there? Hmmm. Saying "It's Adobe's fault!" rings a little hollow when the 10.1 plugin works correctly in the prior version of Firefox. Any kind of host/plugin model relies on a contract between the host and the plugin, and when there's a crash, it indicates one side or the other broke that contract. Under the circumstances, it's difficult not to suspect the blame for this lies on the Firefox side. It's certainly possible that Adobe's code IS broken and the problem is that it SHOULD work with the new version of Firefox, if it were properly written, but it's not, so it doesn't. However, no one seems to want to dig down to find out or provide a workaround other than regressing to 3.6.3, so that's what I've done -- Firefox does too many other things right for me to switch browsers at this point.
