Waterfox browser flash player free#

I have been crash free as far is this issue. I am going to chime in on this as I have found some relief. Does it mean there is conflict between flash player installer and my firefox browser then?

Waterfox browser flash player install#

So I performed clean install of flash player again by downloading installer using internet explorer and now I am able to play Non-HTML5 video on internet explorer only. And this time I am also not able to play Non-HTML5 video in internet explorer anymore. After installation complete, I tried to play Non-HTML5 video in firefox but the error adobe flash plugin crashed appeared again.

Then I tried to play Non-HTML5 video in internet explorer and it works! So I did the clean uninstall again and this time reinstall flash player by downloading installer using mozilla firefox. I also tried to search in firefox add-ons for shockwave flash but it also not listed in add-ons (I tried to search for shockwave flash add-ons but no exact result found). I tried to search for flash player in about:plugins but it was not listed there.

As an aside, Windows 10 is supposed to solve the vast majority of this kind of registry-related pain.Īctually I download the flash player using internet explorer, as I watched in the video clean install flash player, the guy also download it using internet explorer. The vast majority of Win7 users are on 64-bit, so offerings from vendors are tested more on the 64-bit OS across the board.

You might think about moving to 64-bit Windows 7 as well, since you have a 64-bit capable machine. If it's been a few years, jettisoning all of the junk that has accreted in the registry and removing the fragmentation that occurs over time makes the system run much faster than you've probably gotten used to. I can't recommend any of those products specifically, and personally, that's generally my queue to think about reinstalling the OS. There are some commercial utilities that advertise their ability to fix these kinds of problems, but Windows already automatically scans and repairs the registry. If it's a registry key that you're unable to remove, then you have a bigger problem. Unlocker is my go-to utility for fixing files that I can't delete on a system: Again, a really good reason to make sure that your backups are up to date. This might just be a random thing - poorly timed power outage, solar flares, etc - but it might also be an early indication that your hard disk is on the way out. If you're unable to complete all of these steps and it's a file involved, then we know that there's some filesystem corruption. Performing a Clean install of Flash Player on Windows: This will expose any issues with corrupted/inaccessible files that might otherwise be masked during the automatic installation/upgrade process. Once any problems are fixed, I'd manually remove Flash Player. It's always a good idea before doing disk maintenance to make sure that you have good backups of anything critical on the machine.Ĭheck your hard disk for errors - Windows 7: T he first thing I'd do is check for and repair any issues with the local filesystem. If running Firefox in safe mode doesn't resolve the issue, then I'm guessing your Flash installation is damaged. Once you've identified the plugin, we can take a look and see what options are available to mitigate it from our side, if any.

You'll basically just have to disable them temporarily all and re-enable them individually until the crash comes back.

If it starts working, it's something to do with another plugin in Firefox.

Try something that Flash currently crashes on.

In Firefox, go to Help > Restart with Add-Ons Disabled.

Okay, it's probably not hardware acceleration then.
