I surf with Firefox on my Dell laptop with Windoze 7. My Flash plug-in crashes all the time. All the time. It's been happening for many weeks.

Anybody else having this?

Frodebro · January 30th, 2013, 07:09 PM

Nope, OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.7.

Jupiter · January 30th, 2013, 07:19 PM

Yeah, mine's fine at home, too, on OSX.

Jupiter · January 30th, 2013, 07:31 PM

I have the latest version (11,5,502,146) installed on both, along with the latest Firefox.

are you sure it crashed? maybe its a security feature.

I got away from Firefox and moved to Google chrome because mine was crashing every time I used it!

Good luck!

im having problems with firefox...when i search whats wrong it says...i have a memory leak...so i disabled some stuff that uses lots of ram and added a program called...memory fox...nothing has worked...its very annoying

right now i have two tabs open and my ram is running at 50%...in 20 minutes itll be at 70% and i will need to close firefox

Jupiter · January 30th, 2013, 09:33 PM

Hm, maybe it's time for Chrome. I've liked Firefox pretty well for a lot of years.

Memory leak? That sounds like stuff oozing out of my ears....

Westerly Sunn · January 31st, 2013, 04:40 AM

I run XP with firefox, no probs... I run Pale Moon on my WIN7 machine, no probs there either...

Pale Moon is just an "Optimized for Windows" build of Firefox... You may want to try that...

I find that every now and then it'll crash repeatedly for a day, but it's normally sorted itself out by the next day. To quote Faust: "it's a bit of a pain".

Guitarzan · January 31st, 2013, 02:32 PM

Perhaps you should clear Flash and reload it.

pblossom · January 31st, 2013, 03:07 PM

Mine crashes using Chrome and OSX 10.8. Annoying.

J-man · January 31st, 2013, 03:12 PM

Flash has a history of being pretty rubbish. It's good that it's finally being phased out in favour of html5.

Try updating or reinstalling it.

Boubou · January 31st, 2013, 05:30 PM

Try Internet Explorer LOL

Yep, Windows whatever and Google Chrome and occasionally Fire Fox on an HP Pavilion Laptop from 2005. Do I ever care or do anything about it? No. It hasn't made much of a difference on my computer system. And believe me, I have treated this computer REALLY poorly, and it still runs better than most new ones everyone else has, even with Adobe Flash down.

AndyLowry · January 31st, 2013, 08:38 PM

Chrome has its own plugin for Flash, and it seems to work better for me than other browsers. Nonetheless, Flash is bad news and I try to avoid it.

Ironwolf · January 31st, 2013, 09:21 PM

I run IE9 on a Win7 system and IE10 on a Win8 system. Never had a problem with either.
