> works in older versions of firefox, and something in an update breaks it. > This hasn't been marked invalid as of yet because there are people reporting it Only since the problem has become so much more frequent have I finally decided to go to the trouble of reporting this. I suggest these reasons because I have had random shockwave crashes for many many months and have, for one or more of the above reasons at different times, decided against going to the trouble of adding my name to a bug-report. Since there's not a really solid lead to give to the devs on where to start one might assume that it isn't worth bothering them about it yet.ĥ) People often times assume that in a program that is still under major developement that it is expected to have such major bugs and that the bug is probably widespread and there are plenty of people that have already submitted a bug report. I usually have many tabs open and any one of them may have had flash content that would crash the program. In response to comment #11, I suggest that this is a real problem and that possible reasons that complaints are not more widespread include the following:ġ) The problem is a nuisance but may not annoy most people enough to come to bugzilla and submit a bug report.Ģ) Most people figure the "talkback" is enough of bug submittal.ģ) Most people would rather just use a built-in browser to browse the sites that are making firefox crash than try to mess around with bug-reports.Ĥ) Personally, for the most part I cannot find a website which consistantly makes firefox crash. I have installed the Flash 9 release as of a few days ago to no avail.Īlso, my room-mate has experienced this problem as well. For some reason recently it seems to happen much more frequently. I think I won't worry about it as I'm not much of a gamer and found out games I play work fine.I have this problem too.
I also found out that Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave come together on Windows 10. Test that it is not working, although it's listed in Programs on Control Panel.
PS 2: I have done the test for Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Shockwave and have discovered that Flash Player is preinstalled with Internet Explorer in Windows 10 and updates automatically. PS: I just noticed that in Advanced Settings on Edge I have Adobe Flash Player enabled but it's not listed in Programs on Control Panel. Also why am I not getting updates for the Adobe Shockwave Player or do I have the latest ? My question : Should I be getting updates for Shockwave Player, and am I right to ignore the Adobe Flash player updates that seem legitimate. Maybe it was from Microsoft but I Xed out the warning quickly so I'm not sure where the warning came from. Security as it wasn't so marked and it didn't popup in the right corner of my taskbar as Norton warnings do but filled the whole page. I don't believe this was from My Norton Internet With one of these popups a warning came on that this was a malicious site and not to update.
However, I noticed I have been getting Windows security updates for the Adobe Flash Player, which is not installed on my computer but no security updates for the Adobe Shock wave player.Īlso I've been getting every so often here lately popup requests to update the Flash Player which I don't have. The Adobe Shockwave Player 12, version 12.1.7.157 is listed in the Progams section of the Control panel and I understand from some reading I've done that you don't need both the Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave player as the Shockwave is used more for gamingĬomputers. I understand this computer is good for gaming, although I haven't used it much for gaming. This April I purchased the following noitebook computer: HP Envy M7- N109DX Notebook.
