Firefox Support Forum

With the Flash plugin, the option to "ask to activate" is grayed out. Is it possible to restore this option, rather than having Flash always on or always off?

(I previously posted this question in the wrong forum area, namely Thunderbird)

Hi I am currenty using Firefox 35 with the up to date version of Adobe Flash 16.0.0.305. I keep getting that Firefox unable to load. While checking the Windows tasksbar I notice that there is many Adobe Flash plugins that are running. That causes Firefox browser to crash constantly.

when I view a video on Firefox, it stops to buffer. The problem started when Firefox updated itself about a week or so ago. Before the update the videos on Firefox ran good with no buffering issues. Now it take up to 5 minutes to view something. Even the commercials will stop to buffer. How can I get this fixed?

Hey guys - Again and again and again. Absolute fresh installation of the system - completly updated: Windows, Firefox, Flash - antivirus software. Done all The stepps - it only crashes when playing long videos (flash based) but didnt occur on youtube yet.

Playing files on pu.....er or simmilar sites only with whole moveis in it. Happens MOSTLY when either pausing movie for too long OR when swapping screens between laptop one and external monitor. Doing it in full screen mode is almost a 100% crash.

Disabling hardware acceleration helps lower the ammount of crashes - but it does not solve the problem completly.

I've posted a number of mp3 file links on our website. All have been functioning and playing well until this week, they are no longer playing when clicked on. The new tab opens, thinks, then says that the "video cannot be played because the file is corrupt". These files are able to be downloaded and played from individual computers and will play fine in other browsers - such as Google Chrome. Not sure if there is an issue with Firefox default mp3 player?

I thought I had fixed everything (unchecked that box about drivers in the control panel under Advanced settings), cleared my cache, updated my drivers, etc, but today when I go onto YouTube, where there should be an ad at the top of the page and where there should be a video to watch, it is blank, and my cursor just keeps blinking. Previous to making all the other updates I mentioned, those areas would have been darkened out and black. So now I still can't watch YouTube videos. So interestingly enough, I switched to Chrome, and everything works fine. So what might be the problem?

(attacked is a screenshot of what the blank area looks like where there should be a video - if it ever uploads!)

As the title indicates, I can not play You Tube video.

Particularly this link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08iHSCxza2o

It works in IE (yuk!)

All help and assistance appreciated.

Every time I try to load a page containing flash elements (Youtube doesn't load at all), Firefox freezes up, then the computer freezes up, and the only way out, is the ctrl-alt-del and end the process. Firefox isn't the only browser with this problem. IE and Chrome do the same. This has been happening every since Adobe updated the flash plug in. it's done nothing be caused me a lot of trouble and time. I can't do anything.

I tried contacting Adobe and they're very rude and don't want to help you. I'm in a serious fix and I'm totally infuriated with this problem. Someone help. I've done everything, refreshed Firefox, reset Firefox, uninstalled Flash and reinstalled. Nothing works.

Firefox fails to play youtube videos.. It shows me an error occured . But youtube works fine in chrome and IE. I tried with latest version of flash player and firefox and also in safe mode of firefox. Also i tried with different versions of flash players and old firefox versions. Also tried after uninstalling flash player.. Nothing worked.. Rarely it gets played and problem occures again afterwards.. I deleted all cookies.. History.. Also refreshed windows... Help...?

For the past few days Firefox browser videos requiring Flash player do not open but give me the 'crash screen'. It works fine with Internet Explorer because it is built in. I have tried all of the recommended fixes from adobe and and firefox.

I have refreshed Firefox
I have enabled in firefox
I have disabled all plugins and extensions then tried enabling Flash Player
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash player a few times
I have tried adjusting Flash player settings
    " deleting FPs cache, etc.

I have not been able to adjust FPs "hardware acceleration" because it won't open in the support pages.

I have: a newer toshiba Satellite L70 (intel i7)

64bit

windows 8.1

I am stumped!

Firefox suddenly crashes without lagging before. When opening the Taskmanager it says that Firefox is still working , though the memory numbers start to decrease. Firefox cannot be started again before it is ended via taskmanager. Firefox version: 37.0.1 (updated it yesterday)

This only started after I updated Adobe Flash about an hour ago. Flash version: 17.0.0.169

I do not get any Crash Reports. I checked for the submitted crash reports and found that the last submitted report is from 2013.

playing video while in Art Institute of Pittsburgh online campus keeps crashing. The video plays for a bit then crashes for no apparent reason. I have copied the last 3 submitted crash reports and have listed them here.

not sure if I copied them right or not. They are links on my page but are not links here. Looks like they pull up by the ID numbers or something.

I hope you can help me with this.

There is a default in Adobe Flash Player for the moment, so, it is not done to download latest version !!! I have set the item on 'Never Activat' for the moment. Is Adobe Flash Player integrated normally with plug-ins, because I don't see this item into the list now.

Please, feedback for this item.

Many thanks in advance,

Greetings, Freddy Van De Velde

Not a question so much as a mal-design warning.

Adobe's help site flashes every few seconds, and has triggered another of my migraines. Obviously I can't report the problem on that site. I don't know whether it was hacked by greifers or designed that way.
