Every time I open any site with pictures or videos, I get a Shockwave Flash crash error.

Here are a bunch of my crash reports, because if it isn't Firefax randomly crashing itself, it's Flash. I have tried all of the fixes, PLEASE HELP!!!

Try disabling protected mode for flash:

  1. type "about:config" in the address bar
  2. click the "I'll be careful" button
  3. In the search box, paste "dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode" (without the quotes)
  4. double-click to set the item that appears to true

You may have to restart firefox for this to take effect

I did that already. I have done all that is listed in the forums, none of it worked.

Either your RAM or Graphics card are going bad, or you have file system corruption. I advise following Microsoft's article to check for and fix file system corrupt: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833

If none is found, the next step would be testing your RAM.

Flash block {web link} Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it


If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
