"Adobe Flash Plugin Has crashed" Error

[ShamrockRig]

Hey there, On Mozilla firefox and Opera i have an error every time when trying to play videos, i get the error saying "The adobe flash plugin has stopped working" ive tried uninstalling, reinstalling and rolling back to previous versions, but to no avail, I can watch anything on Google chrome but the browser isnt of personal preference, ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling both opera and firefox but nothing, any ideas guys?
cheers

For Firefox, start with the suggestions in this mozillaZine thread:

Have you uninstalled Flash and then reinstalled it?

Uninstall Flash Player | Windows

Have you chanted the proper incantations over your computer?

 

[ShamrockRig]

ive done everything..reinstalled, rolled back to previous versions etc

Tried all of that, nothing seems to be fixing this problem, flash only works for me on google chrome, not opera or firefox

Deleted all traces of opera on my computer (files left behind after uninstall) reinstalled it and it worked! done the same for firefox but it didnt work

Assuming that you are installing the proper version of Flash, which would seem to be true as you have a plugin for Firefox, about the only things I can think of to try would be to first run Firefox in safe mode, and if that does not work, then to try creating and testing a new Fx profile.

I've no idea about Opera, having never installed it.

Safe Mode does not disable plugins, but extensions can cause problems with plugins:

Safe Mode - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

You might also try disabling all other Fx plug ins; not likely to help, but won't hurt to try.

Profile Manager - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

If none of those tests work, then I can only suggest that you try mzillaZine, where there are many experts available to assist:

I used to get the same problem with Chrome a while back. But it has stopped happening. My guess is one of the Chrome updates fixed something. Why bother with FireFox anyway?

firefox is only the third most popular browser.
According to Mozilla, Firefox counts over 450 million users around the world
i use it too and always have.

this is not a fix for flash but may be a workaround particularly for youtube...

Firefox suits me, easy to use, looks good, custom breaking bad themes! Safari works fine with everything, opera loads the occasional video, Yeah proper version of firefox and Flash obvcourse, no idea what to do, starting to really annoy me now! Might just use safari until they release an update for flash, then i might have another go, uninstalled firefox completely aswell as chrome

I have this problem as well. happens in Chrome, Opra and Firefox
Tried every thing i could find on different forums and support sites. Nothing seemed to help.
reinstal of browers, flash plugin, using older versions of browsers did not help.
But after a reinstal of W7 i dont get the crash so often. now it might be once a day. Before that i was prob once every hour.
And after what ive read it looks like adobe flash and the browsers just dont wanna play togeather at all after the newest updates. But dont take my word on it. Its only something i saw on some posts on forums.
