Portable repeatedly done Flash freeze

I use Firefox on a MacBook OS X Mavericks running. Previously, everything went very well, but in the last two weeks, doing things based on Flash as the observation of Netflix, listen to Pandora Radio, etc., make my computer freeze without warning. Doing something as simple as moving the window makes my computer freezes. I'll take the beach of rotation for a second ball and then it will seize up, and I have to manually restart the computer to make it work again. Flash has always been a Hogger of CPU, but my computer is only 1 1/2 years, he should be able to handle requests. I had to temporarily switch to Google Chrome to run these sites without problem, but I prefer to use Firefox. And Yes, I did everything suggested in the article of the resolution of the problems and I even ran a few maintenance programs on my computer, but it made no difference.

There are many articles of troubleshooting, I wanted to just make sure. Could you please try to start Firefox in safe mode to see if the problem goes away?

Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables some settings and disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

(If you are using an additional theme, place you in default theme.)

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Mode without failure of Firefox in the Help menu by clicking on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item:

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

Thank you.

  • Formatted NTFS disks flash freeze computer during the transfer of the (large) files

    Let's first, I tried KB976972 and does not work for me, it actually returns to "the update is not applicable to your computer" (probably because I don't have an NVIDIA USB chipset).
    Also I don't know of any computer in the past, I a tailor-made with i7 box 3770 with 16g of RAM, I won't go into detail here because I had this problem with previous Office (also an i7 but first gen) so that pretty much excludes material. The OS of choice is Windows 7 64 bit.

    The problem occurs when I try to copy files on flash memory drives formatted in NTFS (or readers of thumb if you want) (large). Tested readers are all Verbatim with writing speeds on 10megs per second with a capacity of 8 to 32g. The copy process lance "strong" with the window showing whimsical speeds copies anywhere between 500 to .9g per second and abnormally fast progress bar fills. Who finally stops before the end, after what looks like no more than 10 seconds or more, the time when the computer crashes somehow. The core of the operating system seems to be working, I can switch apps, ctrl-alt-del (Nothing kills the CPU or the whole system right now BTW), all the work of gadgets Google desktop (monitors refresh as expected), but real-world applications are frozen and in fact, if I try to tinker with them they will eventually become "inadmissible." After some time (a full, if not minute more) resumes the copy process, and the whole system will become responsive again. However, if the file is large enough this episode of gel repeat several times until it is completed.
    While readers LED flash Flash normally and consistently throughout. There are no errors with the transferred files.

    The question is NOT triggered by the large transfers with several smaller files. For example if I copy a whole folder 5g with images, the process will be less than the normal surface of 100%, the reported speed will be credible (about 7 m/s), the computer cling not or anything like that. However, if I try a single file of 5g hang episode repeat 2 or 3 times.

    As I mentioned previously the material can't be at fault, the disks themselves work perfectly and normally if formatted FAT32 or exFAT so there may be a problem with them either. The problem is only manifest with structure of NTFS files AND large files.

    Any ideas will be appreciated. THX

    Hello

    I understand that you can not transfer large files via USB key.

    1. is the question confined to a particular file?
    2 have you tried with another USB drive?

    3. do you get an error message when you try to transfer?
    4 have you connected the USB even to another computer and check if you're able to transfer large files?

    I would suggest trying the following steps and check if it helps.

    Method 1:


    Try to convert the NTFS file system and check if you are able to transfer files.

    1. click on start
    2. type cmd in the start search box
    3. right click on cmd in the menu and choose Run as administrator.
    4. in the command line type convert /FS: NTFS

    Method 2:

    Uninstall all USB entries in Device Manager.

    1. click on START
    2. right click "Computer" and select "Properties".
    3. on the left side, click on Device Manager.
    4. expand the 'USB Bus controllers' category
    5. right click and uninstall all THE references listed
    6. restart your computer and check if it works.

    Hello, maybe there is a problem with the mode protected in the flash plugin - you could try if Disable protected mode makes a difference.

  • Flash videos and things that use flash freeze firefox completely.

    Well, whenever I open a drive flash or something like that, most of the things that use flash player as a plugin, it freezes my firefox, and then, after a while it may or may not say that a script is causing problems blah blah.

    In fact, it is safer (in the perspective of a security vulnerability) to use 11.3 with protected mode off, assuming that it works for you. 11.2 is not getting all the patches.

  • Updated Firefox updated to its latest version 12.0. Now my plugin Adobe Flash freezes and blocks all websites when it is turned on even if it's the latest version.

    Today updated Firefox updated to its latest version 12.0. Immediately after the update, I couldn't load most of the sites. The web browser would just freeze. I have determined that the culprit is the Adobe Flash Plugin, however; even with the latest version of the plugin, I always have problems. Any suggestions?

    If anyone else has this problem I found a few options that may help you.

    I solved my problem by loading Waterfox, which is the 64-bit version of Firefox. I use a Windows 64-bit operating system, so this solution worked perfectly. If you want to download it, it can be downloaded here: http://waterfoxproject.org/

    It has also been suggested that I try to create a new Firefox profile. Since Waterfox works for me, I have not tried yet; However, I was told that it allows to solve several mysterious questions of Firefox with Flash. The directions for this can be found here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

    I hope everyone can solve their problems of Flash Player and I recommend using the Adobe Forums as well. People there are very helpful.

    Good luck!

  • Resolve repeated Shockwave Flash crash Firefox - EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ

    Hey all,.

    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    I worked on a client computer and I get frequent crashes. Previously, the logs show the same error but indicated in the metadata for a plugin obsolete. I removed the plugin and accidents happen again (at least once a day).

    In newspapers that bit that worries me is that Sophos may be the culprit and maybe hinder or prevent intervention of Flash to function properly.

    Newspapers:
    https://crash-stats.Mozilla.com/report/index/4e75c9e8-A7D9-4DD5-9618-7f62a2150407
    https://crash-stats.Mozilla.com/report/index/0aeaa8cc-e028-45a2-B928-a816d2150407
    https://crash-stats.Mozilla.com/report/index/22697c7f-d2a6-4049-b02f-422b62150406

    The following actions have been recommended in various articles of Ko and I take them without resolution:
    -Updated Firefox
    -Uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of Flash
    -Hardware acceleration disabled for Flash
    -Disabled hardware acceleration for Firefox
    -Removed previous plugin (LogMeIn).

    Greatly appreciated

    Each of the 3 reports is different:

    (1) flash crashes

    It uses protected mode (you can see the entries of the EXE in the blocked thread). It is not stable on all systems, unfortunately. There is a new parameter hidden to test with this option off:

    (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste the flash and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (C) double-click the preference dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable - protected mode to change its value from false to true.

    It cannot take effect until all the Flash was discharged for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.

    Before the preference has been added, how to disable protected mode was by creating or modifying a parameter file. The following/post pages provide different approaches to that if it is necessary (if Flash EXE process continue to appear in the processes tab, Windows Task Manager, even after changing the preferences of Firefox):

    To download the Flash completely (closing and restarting Firefox could help) until it takes effect.

    Any improvement?

    (2) related to D3D11 crash

    Firefox has recently started to use this most recent version of DirectX. I'm not sure it's important, because the accident could have happened with the old version, too.

    Two of the reports three crash related to this report indicates problems with a different graphics card/chipset driver. In this case, if an updated driver is not available or not useful, the solution is usually to disable Firefox to use hardware acceleration.

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    This takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it again. Any difference?

    (3) OOM = Out of Memory crash

    With the use of the memory system to 81%, Firefox has apparently failed to get the memory block, he asked from Windows and died. I hope this isn't a common problem.

  • 22 Firefox displays an undefined repeatedly. Also freezes at startup

    Since Firefox updated to 22, I asked problems with Firefox. It worked completely fine until now.
    There are two issues I have here.
    1 Firefox crashes when I open it. Has a small chance to hang does not sometimes, but the browser would be too slow to use.
    2. this problem happens when I go to any site. When I load a page, the undefined Word is shown repeatedly through the entire page.

    I tried to disable the following addons, but two problems:
    Internet Download Manager, Stylish, NoScript, dictionary, quick search

    I get crashes when you open the browser, so it is difficult to test the other addons. What is strange, is that these addons work very well on the desktop of my brother.
    My other addons not tested: Speedfox, WOT, Adblock, FVD fast dial, quicknote

    I'm running out of ideas to fix. There are other methods for fixing of my browser? I am able to get a list of diagnostic of my browser, I can post here for assistance?

  • Screen freezes and blinks after the update to 10.11.6

    Hello!

    I have a Macbook Pro for mid-2007, which has helped a lot, was powerful and as stable as steel. I've never had or known major bugs since I have. Leopard 10.5 aka El Capitan 10.11.5, nothing to notice. The usual Mac you need: solid, stable and fast. I have an IntelCore 2 Duo, 4 GB of RAM, Samsung SSD 840 series, the old Fujitsu HDD for storage and a Nvidia GeForce 8600 M GT graphics chipset.

    But the nightmare started when install the last update of El Capitan: OS 10.11.6. Update was fast enough, just half an hour, and I'm going, with the last update. I was browsing Safari then my screen blinked once, and all that was displayed was frozen, except the mouse I could be moved. 10 seconds or about later, my system of defrost and I could use it. Until less than a minute later, new flashes and freeze again. And he began to be more bizarre than ever: Safari window displaying strange patterns, with little colored squares, bar menus, very noisy. Hard, I rebooted my Macbook Pro, hoped it was just a random bug. But no, it has reproduced, forever and ever, when browsing in Safari. So I decided to switch to Opera web browser just for a test day. And... nothing happened. No bugs, no frost, no flashing screens. I found the source of this Safari bug, so I went to the opera.

    Until yesterday, when you use the Finder to display images using Quicklook. Flashes and the gel. When you are using TweetDeck, same result, flashes & freeze. Even if you use Opera when scrolling too fast: flashes and the screen. When you use presentation and Launchpad. And if this bug to reproduce twice, the display shows a strange patterns, such as Cup-a part of windows, bar menu invisible, etc..

    It's VERY BORING. It is the first time in 8 years of work with Mac OS X, I have experienced this kind of graphic bug. The last time I encounter some bugs graphics but much more discreet, and it's in 2008 with OS 10.5.3, which was not very stable (the next version is much more stable).

    I know this has something to do with the Nvidia driver. The same lines are appearing in the newspapers when the bug happens, like this:

    > 31/07/2016 10:50:47, 000 kernel [0]: NVDA (OpenGL): exception channel! exception type = 0xd = graphic engine (GR error 5) error

    I don't want to hear that this has something to do with the graphic chipset, because before the 10.11.6 updated, I had NO gel or flashes of the screen at all. I had never actually had. And the motherboard has been replaced in 2010 because the chipset was dead.

    So, I don't know what to do. I guess I'll have to wait a few months the 10.11.7 next update, hoping that he can solve the display bug. And I wouldn't be able to install Sierra because... Well, my Macbook Pro is too old, so I'm stuck with El Capitan (but that's another story).

    Thanks in advance if you have any tips that might help.

    It is difficult to say if this is indeed caused by the last update or a (chance) sign is not material. You might be able to work around the problem by installing the gfxCardSatusand forcing your MacBook to use the GPU integrated or discreet, but not automatically switch between them.

  • Fixed a crash issue repeated with a new installation of Firefox on Windows 8.1 28

    It is not so much a question as a contribution to the solution.

    On a new computer running Windows 8.1 a new installation of Firefox 28 has been repeatedly crash or freeze ("no response"). Loading pages can be slow and scrolling in staircase. Totally unusable, especially after playing content with Shockwave.

    Although I had not installed the plug-ins outside Shockwave and Adobe Acrobat, I have had a look and was surprised to see that I had never asked. I disabled those I don't think I need:
    Intel's Identity Protection technology
    Photo Gallery
    WildTangent Games App alarm presence V2.

    Since these disabling Firefox works well. But I was forced to use another browser for a week until you find the time to research the problem.

    Why are these called not - for and of course (at least one) annoying plugins installed by default? It does not have any good Firefox!

    Plugins are not included in the Firefox download, because Mozilla is not allowed to distribute. Firefox automatically detects the plugins on your system through a number of methods, so it was a good idea to revisit and disable those you don't need. I have really no idea whence the special ones.
