Flash Player 11.3 keeps crashing

Flash Player 11.3 keeps crashing repeatedly. I went to the support page which told me to uninstall and download the 11.2 version. I did that, but when I went back to play my games on Facebook, none of them would open unless I updated to 11.3! I've experienced problems with the Flash Player since 2 updates ago. It worked fine before them.

Hello, try to disable hardware acceleration on Flash Player, if it doesn't solve the problem, maybe the stored local data is causing the problem so try using another user account on your OS and if works you will need to clear the cache of your main account. I hope this can help you.

DO NOT TRACK add-on is blocking Flash Player. I disabled the add-on and now I get the videos. I will experiment with Do Not Track to see if it will allow exceptions. I have not tried that yet. Bon Chance, homies.

Adobe has released a Flash 11.3.300.262 update for Windows, so you can try that Flash version.

You can find the latest Flash player for Firefox on this page.

Simple fix. Go to uninstall programs and uninstall the flash player plugin from adobe. Not the player, just the plugin. Should work fine after that

removing real player is not an acceptable action.

Real Player is not the conflict. A newer Flash program did not help.

It was the blocking app that was doing it.

This is the Solution that I found, thing is Adobe added something called "Protection Mode" to Flash in 11.3 and you need to disable it and all is well.

To do that you need to restart your pc so you know flash is turned off other wise you can't modify the config files for it.


For 32bit users:

C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg

For 64bit users:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg


In both cases all you need to do is add:

ProtectedMode=0

To the next line in the file and save it.

Worked for me, and I had been searching for weeks, if it works for you please do what you can to spread the word!
