Problems with the Shockwave Flash plugin

Unread post by newbie3 » 2013-05-23, 10:36

After the Pale Moon's update to version 20.0.1., I receive from time to time notifications that the Shockwave Flash plugin has been busy or has stopped working (the title of the message is "Warning: Unresponsive plugin"). I've updated the plugin to its latest version and the problem remains. When I get such notification, with one "refresh" of the web page, everything works fine, but it's not a pleasant experience.

The latest Flash update, ending in 202, I've been having problems with the Flash plugin in Windows when using Pale Moon and Firefox. In my opinion, it's an Adobe problem (as usual). Adobe has been having problems with their Flash updates for at least a year. Sometimes a version is good and then Adobe will update to a newer version and sometimes the newer version is a bad one.

This is a common issue, for not steal links from other post go here: http://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2552

Then uninstall and fresh install the plugin. Also as flash developer I know that this message means that the computer cannot run at enough speed the movie flv or swf code/animation and then yells this error. Free up memory and see if this helps in those sites.
