Had Adobe Flash Player 11.3 r300 and it stopped showing videos, etc. in Firefox a few days ago. Now I've installed v 11.4 r402 and it still gives error message "Adobe Flash Player ... has stopped working." I uninstalled, downloaded again and reinstalled -- with the same result. No videos. Firefox Plugin check page shows it installed correctly. Any solutions?

Just updated to FF 15 and the Flash Player crashes any time I load a page with a Flash object. I'm running Flash 11.4 r402 on Windows 7 32bit. I tried safe mode and that did nothing to solve the problem. All help appreciated.

I recently updated to Firefox 15.0.1, and I'm having a lot of trouble with it constantly freezing. This doesn't happen on any one website and is very random in occurrence. I have already tried running in safe mode and updated flash, and I'm still having the problem. After a few seconds, it may start responding again however, most of the time it continues to hang. In order to close Firefox when this happens, I have to open task manager and end the process because nothing in the browser responds. This has become very annoying, and I would appreciate any help I can get to solve the issue. Thanks!

UPDATE: I've noticed that the freezing seems to happen every time I check my email (Yahoo & Gmail), and when I'm on Pandora. It still occurs randomly at other times, but I noticed it's very consistent with these sites.

My OS is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit; using Firefox ver 15.0. I downloaded Babylon tool bar and related apps because they were associated with a tool manual that I wanted to review. I then discovered how invasive these apps are. Successfully removed Babylon downloader and Tool bar via Start | Control Panel | program menu. However I notice that "Search the web (Babylon)" is still listed in the drop down menu of search engine options. I have defaulted my search engine to Google, and I can delete the Babylon option, but it returns every time when I close my browser and then return to my FF Mozilla home page. How can I permanently remove Babylon as a search engine option?

First of all, the website in question(thepiratebay.se) works normal on IE with no issue. On Firefox however, attempts to click on 'ANYTHING' on this sites' webpage results in no effect. This includes the text/search box where the text indicator does not show up or any of the link on the page will not work. When mousing over the hyperlinks or objects on the page, the cursor does not change to a 'finger' and a small box area around the pointer jitters/pull the texts or graphics within it like a 0x magnifying glass that ran over the texts. Right-clicking anywhere on the page(text, blank or graphics) yield a flash applet menu with the first line(greyed out) indicating 'movie not loaded' and the second line 'About adobe flash player v11.4.402.256...'. These symptoms extends to all sub-pages of the site after skipping to them using Google search. This issue ONLY affects 'thepiratebay.se' thus far to my knowledge. I'm using Firefox v15.0 and recently updated the Flash plugin to the latest version before Firefox request and updated to 15.0. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Shockwave Flash browser plugin as well as clearing all cache/history/form/etc.. to no avail...

Recently (maybe since v14) the firefox starts to crash every time i close it. I debugged and found it can be solved if i don't install a certain extension or if i reset the preference by removing the preference directory. But when updated to 15.0, the firefox repeats the problem again and again, even it runs in the safe mode without any extension or i remove the .mozilla/ directory in my home directory totally. In addition, i tried to uninstall and reinstall firefox, but the problem remains. Any one shares the same problem or has any suggestion? thanks a lot.

My OS info opensuse 12.1 kernel linux 3.1.10-1.16 gnome 3.2.1

I rely on this application for direct downloads and need it. I could revert to Firefox 14 but it would mean I would have security issues unresolved. How does one get the product in question to update the Add-on? I cannot get into their website either.....

Running Java 7, FF 15.0.1. When opening most web site, the following pops up: Java error: catch after unconditional catch. What is this? And, how to repair Java? This has been happening for the past several days. Thanks...

My firefox version is: 15.0.1. I can go to the Google's gmail page, but can't log in. I was asked:

"Your browser's cookie functionality is turned off. Please turn it on. [?]". I follow the direction to turn cookies on. It is already on, but still can't log in since I got above message again. Why?

Thanks,

I am about ready to stop using Firefox all together. Whenever I open it, or try to search the site http://mystart.incredibar.com/MB162?a=6OyDzgMGGI

Comes up. I have tried all kinds of crazy things suggested on Forums, but none have worked and all are very complicated.

Please advise?

For about 3 weeks youtube has not been able to download other sites dailymotion etc I can save.downloadhelper works on my Acer laptop with vista Also I have tried to post in downloadhelper forum cant seem to post there

since ff 15.0.1 update ( today) netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect") does not ask for the privilege anymore ... Is the xpcom interface outdated ?

I want my TABS below the addres bar, there is no option for "tabs on top" anymore and I simply want them below the address bar. My y580 still has the tabs below but my asus g75vw has the tabs on top and the tabs on top" option is not there. WHat can I do?

I've tried clearing all my history, cookies, and everything else on Firefox, but it doesn't fix the problem.

Whenever I try to comment on a post in facebook it says "Unable to post comment." And it won't let me like any posts either.

Google Chrome works perfectly with Facebook. I don't want to quit using Firefox, but unless I get a solution soon that may be what I have to do.

After FireFox update (15) "JavaScript Application TypeError: can't access dead object" during private brows: see Screen Dump http://gyazo.com/c3c6cd95d2574842f9280f7fdd61114b

I've used Firefox for years now. I like it. But the new version (15.0.1) loads some webpages soooo slowly, I'm ready to move one to Chrome or another browser. IMy first preference is to stick with Firefox, but I haven't found any solutions to my dilemma. Tried a solution posted (clear cookies and cache) which only gave me more problems. Don't know why that solution every go posted. Tried some possible solutions involving changing setup via about:config which didn't do anything one way or another. Disabled all of my plugins, which didn't do any good. Currently, I'm only running Flash. Website in question loads much better in Chrome. As I said before, my first preference is to stick with Firefox, but if I can't find I way to load finviz.com fast, I'm gone. Anyone have similar problems and hopefully, answers? Thanks for your time

I immediately noticed a significant performance regression after upgrading from 14.0.1 to 15. I've seen various comments on input.mozilla.org but it's now a week after release and the latest firefox planning meeting made no mention of it (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Planning/2012-09-05) so I thought I would try here.

The first thing I noticed was slow and jerky scrolling of a web page (the same one I was looking at immediately before the upgrade). I tried restarting in safe mode, and while this improved things somewhat, it was still noticeably worse. I also tried with a clean profile with similar results. It was bad enough that I reinstalled 14.0.1 and everything went back to normal.

Now I'm back in 15 to submit this report and I've noticed that the performance is bad in other places too.

• scrolling in all web pages, even simple ones
• scrolling the tab bar is also slow and jerky
• selecting text is so slow that the highlight lags half a second behind the cursor
• key repeat is now half the speed of other applications
• youtube videos drop frames all over the place, and WindowServer is the top CPU user when playing

I'm going to revert to 14 again for the time being but if you want me to try anything in 15 I can do that. I'm a developer but don't have any experience with ff so don't know what to try next.
