Flash player is extremely slow to load.

This problem existed with Windows 7 and now with Windows 10. I have updated to the latest Flash Player and it still takes 30 to 60 seconds to load. I have refreshed Firefox as suggested in the help menu, that did not work. I installed flash control to stop flash player from loading automatically and freezing the page I'm on. This saves time, but when I use the player it is still aggravatingly slow. The problem is not limited to any single site, its seems to exist at any site that contains a flash player.

The error message reads: flash player not available, it may be busy. do you want to continue?

Hi Ashish, that issue was resolved last month when Adobe released version 18.0.0.209. The current version is 18.0.0.232. Unfortunately, there are some sites where there is no alternative to Flash.

Hi Floridavet, if you haven't already, could you try disabling the protected mode feature of the Flash player plugin? It has security benefits, but seems to have compatibility issues on some systems. You can disable it using the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Plugins. On the right side, find "Shockwave Flash" and click the More link. Then uncheck the box for "Enable Adobe Flash protected mode" and try that for a day to see whether it helps.
