I got Windows 7 just some days ago and I really love it. But there is a minor (?) problem
When I try to watch streams on Ustream, the browsers crash. I think it has to do with Flashplayer somehow, because Ustream is based on flash. I'm using build 7048.
I really love Windows 7, but I probably love watching NHL on the computer more. So...anyone else experience the same problem? Any solution?
My first report of a firefox crash so if I miss anything useful out, sorry and I will try and provide further. Suddenly, firefox 3.6.13 has closed down the moment I select print, print preview or page setup. Running Windows 7 Professional with all current updates provided. I run Fineprint as my default printer driver. Printing from Word 2007, Adobe Acrobat reader 9 or notepad works fine. Running Firefox in safe mode still causes the problem. Interestingly, IE 8.0.7600.16385 also crashes, even with add-ons disabled. I have uninstalled flash and acrobat reader as they were recently updated but no effect. System restore is limited to a standard system point after a load of windows updates on the 10-02-11 were installed and no obvious changes were made since that point was made on the 13th.
When I try and launch either Firefox or IE, the browser crashes right away before it even opens. I have updated my AV (MSE) and Malware software (Malwarebyts' & Super AntiSpyware), booted in Safe Mode and performed full system scans and they detect nothing. I checked the Event Viewer and it shows the crash, but I have no idea what is causing it to crash.Just for the sake of tying, I created a new user profile and that is having the same issue. I've also rolled back to a restore point 2 days ago, still the problem persists. [code]
I have the latest Firefox and Flash Player installed. But some applications just don't run at all. For example, videos on [URL] just show a black screen. And this site is remains completely blank: thisissand.com. These applications do work fine on Internet Explorer, but no matter what I try, it won't work on Firefox. Some other things, like Flash movies on [URL] work just fine on Firefox. I've already tried re-installing Flash. Tried an older version of Flash. Tried disabling Flash safe mode. Nothing changes.
this has only popped up the past couple of days, so i'm guessing it was an automatic update which is the cause. whenever i go to watch a Internet video or play a game using flash etc, not only is the video quality awful, but whenever i don't have my Internet/game tab focused for a while and i go back to it, everything lags horribly. by this i mean i can drag my mouse in a pattern across the screen and watch flash react to it 3-4 seconds later. it does eventually catch up, however this can take anywhere between 30 seconds and 10-15 minutes. i've been using firefox over chrome because i was more satisfied with the performance results of firefox. ironically i've just downloaded chrome and these issues don't occur. time for a switch perhaps?
i recently installed a rtm windows 7 pro on my laptop (upgraded from xp), and now i'm starting to run into a little browser issues involving adobe flash.
Internet, and other video sites seem to work just fine, but for some odd reason, a couple sites, such as kotaku.com, always initiates some random adobe flash 9 "where is the debugger or host application running?" popup error. the real annoyance is however, that this message pops up repeatedly for maybe 8-10 times before this second error log message is displayed. i have no idea what this message even means.
i noticed there is a new adobe flash 10 version out, as well as shockwave 11, and have installed both, but in my firefox's browser plugin menu, shockwave flash is still listed as version 9... is there a way to completely remove this?
whenever i am using firefox 8 and watching something on bbc iplayer, Internet or similar sites my laptop then freezes for a few seconds then it goes into bsod then restarts (this happens one or twice a day in the same exact situation).the strange things is when this happens it does not create a minidump file/folder (followed instructions here to enable this).
Flash Player 11.1.102.62Firefox 10.0.1Windows 7 x64 SP1I downloaded the Flash Player installer from the official site and ran it. It downloaded the files and installed Flash. But whenever I try to view Flash content in Firefox, it claims that I don't have FP11 installed, offers to install it for me, tries to and then fails and says I must install it manually, which simply takes me back to Adobe's Flash Player site, where I had already downloaded the installer from!I just tried Firefox with a new profile and it doesn't work that way either.I have lately been using a debug version of FP 10.3, but got sick of the constant debug error messages I got when I tried to play videos and was hoping that 11 would simply work this time around. I uninstalled 10.3 before installing 11.
I just cant seem to get flash installed, windows7 32bit, and trying to install in Firefox. Im betting this has been asked before, but cant seem to find anything.
EDIT: Ok, feel a bit of an idiot, ran installer as Administrator, and that sorted it. Apologies for "noobish" error,
I run 7 64bit and when i try to install Adobe Flash Player for Firefox 32bit, it says "This program has been blocked for your safety" and doesn't install at all.
I'm administrator and there is no other user. I turned UAC all the way down but it didn't help. How can i install it?
i am having problem watching Internet videos. i can only hear the audio but the screen remains black. i tried to access the flash player settings but it is grayed out (there is no access to it). i have the latest flash player and my browsers are also updated.
I recently locked down a PC's with LGP. It is heavily restricted for public use.One strange problem that has cropped up is the Flash player in Firefox.I didn't install the plug-in before I locked down the user account. Afterwards I realized I hadn�t installed it so I logged on to the Admin account and installed the plug. The player now works fine when logged in as Admin or as a User with full privileges but won�t play in my locked down user account, where I still get a message saying the plug-in is not installed.
i clean boot my system and installed latest adobe flash player on ie 9, ffox 4. i've tried all media sites like Internet etc. the flash player won't deliver full sound. it starts correctly, no video issues but after few seconds the sounds goes way lot, gets choppy..i've had no success in finding a solution to this. i've tried uninstalling flash player, installing archived versions...but no luck.

My two min browsers at the moment are waterfox & chrome..As the title says, Im on a x64 version of Windows 7.Has anyone any advice for me on the best versions of Firefox/Builds of Firefox for a x64 windows?same with Google chrome.
I read through a few threads with similar topics but the issues were either not quite the same and/or resolved comparatively easily. I am trying to repair a 1.5 year-old HP Pavilion running Windows 7 Home Premium 64. This machine is used as the main office computer in a small doctor's office. In spite of my warnings, anti-virus software was not installed until it was too lateThere was a major issue about seven months ago that required another company to repairThe problem is explorer.exe will not run. Double-clicking a shortcut on the desktop, clicking the text name of a program from the Start menu, and even in the cmd results in the same response, a dialog box pops up stating windows explorer has stopped working.
windows is checking for a solution to the problem. followed by another box stating windows explorer is restarting. But the requested application never starts. I have run the Ultimate Boot CD 4 Win, replaced the hard drive and cloned all data, run numerous registry scans, malware scans and antivirus scans. Initially removing over 1500 virus/malware hits and over 1400 registry errors. But the main problem persists, explorer.exe won't open programs.
I recently updated to Firefox 18. If I go to Windows' Control Panel and then click on "Uninstall a program", both Firefox 18 and Firefox 15 show up in the list of programs. Should I just leave it as it is, or should I uninstall Firefox 15?
By the way, I updated to Firefox 18 through Firefox's update feature, if that helps.
How can you copy one flash drive to another flash drive,on the same computer?

After installation, in IE8, I can initiate a file download and it will proceed to DL the file but upon finishing, the file disappears from the saved location. I then installed Firefox from a flash drive without issue but when I DL a file in Firefox, it also proceeds to DL the file but upon the end produces an invalid file with 0 bytes.
I can't download anything using Fire Fox? Even when I right click to 'save link' as, it gives me a file with an html suffix but not the file I want ?I'm using Fire Fox 7.0.1. on windows 7 64 bit machine
My computer is only a couple weeks old. I use the latest version of Firefox and today it keeps freezing up. It will just say Not Responding. I've rebooted several times and it's still doing it. Not sure what else to do.I'm not very techie.
I'm running Win 7 64bit and this past week I started getting BSOD restarts several times a night, mostly when using Firefox 5. I just uninstalled/re-installed it and got a blue screen 20 minutes later. The message that pops up after the restart shows two files, one a minidump but I don't know what to do with it. I've updated my graphics drivers, Windows update, scanned with Windows SE and Malwarebytes with nothing being found. I don't know what steps to use to start diagnosing the problem.
I have been getting BSOD's only when using Firefox. Started happening about 2 - 3 months ago. Stopped using FF and have been using IE 9 for the last month and have not had one BSOD since, but I really hate IE. I downloaded the latest version of FF yesterday hoping that a new version might have fixed the issue. Five minutes later and BSOD again.
I installed WINDOWS FIREWALL CONTROL on my Windows 7 system. I have Internet access with games but not with FIREFOX or MAIL WASHER PRO. I decided to not use WINDOWS FIREWALL CONTROL and deleted it from my computer (there was no uninstall entry). Now even though FIREFOX and MAILWASHER PRO is listed as being allowed by the Windows firewall I can not access the Internet. Should I use the system restore feature or am I missing something else. If I turn off the firewall I have access but of course that is not an option I want to go with
i just got a fresh installed a firefox 4.0 browser but i got this message: The proxy server is refusing connections
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections. Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct. Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.
