The general flakiness of the system (and the reason it has persisted for years despite significant engineering effort invested) effectively boils down to the fact that there's so much communication happening that we overwhelm the capacity of the operating system to handle it. At the time, Mozilla wasn't interested in making that kind of investment in plug-ins.Ī plugin-side approach to sandboxing is sub-optimal, and because it's a bolt-on solution, the communication between Flash and Firefox is a multiple of what it would be in an efficient implementation. The NPAPI plug-in interface in Firefox has gone largely unchanged since the '90s, and back in 2012 when we saw the shift in the malware space to state-sponsored hacking and well-funded organized crime, we bolted on a modern security sandbox architecture between Flash and Firefox ( Inside Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox. The reason that Flash works so much better in other browsers at the moment is because those browsers have invested heavily in modern plug-in architectures that provide both security and efficiency. In terms of short-term options, using one of the ample available choices that have modern, secure plug-in interfaces (even Opera has one now) is going to give you a significant amount of pain relief. Also, Protected Mode is an critical defense against malware on Windows, and you put yourself at significant risk by disabling it. There's long-term architecture work happening (primarily on the Firefox side) to address the root-cause of general hang and stability issues, but if the issues you're having are painful enough to drive you to this forum, my assumption is that they're bad enough that you probably don't want to live with them for several months. It's not a matter of not wanting to support Firefox, but giving you a timely workaround.

I've also noticed that this seems to happen most often when I have multiple browser windows open.

I really think the folks at Adobe have changed their code in such a way as to make more problems for the Firefox community and the onus is on them to find a universal fix. Am still not sure this workaround will work when I have multiple windows open, but it's the best I have for now. The only workaround I've found which works (in a lame fashion) is to select "always ask" as the default activation permission mode and to selectively approve SF for the sites I visit which require it. When I deactivated this plugin, the issue immediately disappeared, but obviously this is not a solution, as so many sites require Shockwave Flash to work properly. This is extremely annoying and until this version of Shockwave Flash was installed, I had not noticed it at all.

With Shockwave Flash 19.0.0.185 activated for general browsing, Firefox freezes up and I get "Plugin Container for Firefox has stopped working". I have the same issue, and none of the suggested workarounds mentioned above has removed it (and I tried them all). I can't do much with "it crashes sometimes on some random stuff" in general, which is why those types of problems frequently linger without resolution, but problems with discrete steps and consistent outcomes are very straightforward.Īlso, if you haven't already, please run through the video troubleshooting guide, in particular, to see if disabling hardware acceleration makes the hang go away. If you have a set of steps that leads to a reproducible hang, including a direct link to something, I'm always happy to take a look. We have always been and continue to be more than happy to support and prioritize these kinds of direct, collaborative engineering engagements, especially where the undertakings so clearly benefit our mutual users.

That said, the Firefox fixes that just landed in Firefox 39 *did* cut the aggregate Flash hang rate by about 50% for all Windows Firefox users, which is a tremendously successful outcome for an initial engagement, and we look forward to Firefox's active participation in identifying and resolving the other 50%. It's unfortunate that the specific issue you're experiencing wasn't fixed by the work that landed in Firefox 39.
