Try disabling hardware acceleration in flash

The Flash plugin could be crashing because of an extension, theme or hardware acceleration in Firefox. To see if one of these is causing the problem, go through the steps in the article

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keep-flash-up-to-date-and-troubleshoot-problems

This doesn't work although hardware acceleration was checked and i unchecked it and restarted my browser. here is the error that i get frequently in screenshot http://imgur.com/fekGD5v

Update your Shockwave Flash v14.0 r0 http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ The link for Flash Player v14.0.0.179 http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Unresponsive script errors with Flash can be related to the protected mode feature of the Flash plugin. That feature has security benefits, but is not compatible with all systems for some reason. You can disable it by creating or editing a settings file.

The following pages/posts provide different approaches for that:

• Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?

• Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209

• Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078

Flash needs to completely unload from memory (exiting and starting Firefox up again might help) before this takes effect.

@FredMcD I have latest Flash player installed

@jscher2000

Protected mode is disabled.

i have noticed that this problem occurs in Firefox only while lash Player works fine in Google Chrome..

Hi askfriends, are you getting the Mozilla Crash Reporter? If you could provide some additional crash data that may help in identifying the problem.

1. Enter about:crashes in the Firefox address bar and press Enter. A Submitted Crash Reports list will appear, similar to the one shown below.
2. Copy the 5 most recent Report IDs that start with bp- and then go back to your forum question and paste that into the "Post a Reply" box. (Please don't take a screenshot of your crashes, just copy and paste the ID's. The below image is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)

If the numbers do not start with bp- then please click them to view the page on the crash stats server, then copy/paste the URL from the address bar into your reply.

More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.

Your System Details shows;

Installed Plug-ins Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0

Did you upgrade after posting your question?

Hi askfriends, you wrote:

Protected mode is disabled.

But your two most recent crash reports show instances of FlashPlayerPlugin_14_0_0_179.exe.

Could you check the Windows Task Manager, Details tab (I think; prior to Win8 it was the Processes tab), to see whether you can find that EXE running there when you are using Flash in Firefox (only in Firefox).

If you find one or more instances of that EXE, then disabling the protected mode feature did not work. Since you have 64-bit Windows, make sure you are changing the mms.cfg file in this folder:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

One of the crash reports talks about; ntdll.dll

http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000960.htm What is the ntdll.dll file? - Computer Hope

i checked it and no any .exe instance is present when i play the video in firefox.

I want to make a point here that when i play video firefox memory in task manager continuously increases and reaches upto 600mb (i have 2gb in total)

@FredMcD

so what does it do??

i am not developer or expert i am here to get my problem solved not to research for..

Basically, the article says;

The ntdll.dll file is a file created by Microsoft

Users who are encountering an error with this file while in Microsoft Internet Explorer can often resolve the issue by removing any third-party add-ons

Have you tried using Firefox in safe mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

I've been having similar issues using Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. In about:config I set browser.disk.cache.enable to false and have not had any issues since. Is there a good reason to have this enabled? Firefox 32 seems to be running very nice with it set to false.
