I'v noticedthat this version is very crashtastic.

Shame. I hope they fix it ASAP.

Yes it's a real mess is the new Flash Plugin for Firefox... grrr

Had more Flash crashes in the last 2 days than I ever had since flash came out. What a bad joke really, you can clearly see this was not even tested enough and handed out to the public to beta test it for them.

It is beta tested. It's been released anyway, almost like they've had a fixed release date to work to.

I haven't gotten any notifications about this update, but now I've heard this when I do get the update prompt the only thing I'll do is not to accept it until this problem is fixed.

You probably have silent updating enabled.

^^

From the last version Flash will only prompt when an update will change a users settings - otherwise you won't even notice.

They enabled protected mode for Flash Player within Firefox, to do this it spawns separate processes, what's the bug exactly?

I've had no issues at all with the new version of Flash, though I am using Firefox 14 beta.

The plugin container crashes a lot.

Nope.

Each time it updated (when it started offering these options after updates) I chose the notify me before downloading and installing updates option, and I got those notifications yesterday evening on my laptop and about two hours ago on my desktop (and I refused to allow the updates on both).

KIA · 13 Jun 2012 at 15:12

Rather you than me.

Bugs that don't affect everyone and your 'fix' disables the sandbox for Flash which is an important security measure since it restricts what Flash can do on a system and thus restricts what a Flash exploit can do to your system.

+1

Will flash hurry up and die. So few sites use it these days, why can't the last one or two get with the times. Flash is constantly updating, crashes and just generally sucks.

Azuse05 · 14 Jun 2012 at 01:38

Idk why people complain about flash. Html5 is better, but the sites that used to force flash now cram silverlight down your throat instead. It hasn't even reached the stage where it will use the gpu, and update on the time-scale of ie

Oh look the bug isn't even with Flash, it's a Firefox bug.

Fixed in the current Firefox 14 B7, and looks like it should be fixed in Firefox 13.0.1 when that's released.

I've been finding since Firefox updated to 13 that the YouTube player can go a bit funny, white patches appear on the controls etc if you scroll the page but they'll go away if you move the cursor over them:

Tried re-installing Flash and Firefox just updated to 13.0.1, no change.

yea see it all the time. It distorts the frame the flash video sits in.

On a different note, and update it due to launch. however sounds like not all is fixed yet.
