re: Problem with shockwave (adobe) plug-in 9. Problem with shockwave (adobe) plug-in (JOHN RIEHL via Talk)
Hello, John et al: I too am experiencing the same notice about Adobe's Shock Flash Player. I simply select the 'Stop Plugin' option and wait! About tenor so seconds later, I get the very same notice with the very same options and I make the very same selection -- 'Stop Plugin."I then wait. About another ten seconds go by and I get to repeat the actions just described. This cycle goes on for about four or five times until the plugin is stopped and Fire Fox then runs okay until something else happens... Just what that is, is not to know! All this is on a W7, WE9.5.3, and FF 48.0.2. I do not believe the behavior described is connected with WE9.5.3 or its predecessor:WE9.5.1. I have no work-around. I have no solution. Sometimes when the blinin' system does favors, like invoking FF just because I'm sitting on a link in the email, the same behavior happens. I *CANNOT* exit FF while the wait period is in effect. The keyboard is out to lunch until FF comes back with the notice or the plugin is actualy dead. I think the problem is inFF and do not know how to notify Mozilla.

Whenever I go to a website in Firefox (and IE too), I get a message saying that the Shockwave plugin is either busy or has stopped running. I then get an option to either stop the plug-in or continue. Whichever I do, Windoweyes crashes on that website and I have to go into Windows Task manager to close out Firefox. And sometimes that doesn't even work. A friend disabled the shockwave plug-in; now when I go to websites I get a message asking if I want to allow it. I have two questions: I understand that shockwave is the Adobe flash player. By disabling it, am I impairing Windoweyes in some way? And, second, how do I fix this problem without having to disable a plug-in that has worked fine until very recently? Thanks.

RE: Problem with shockwave (adobe) plug-in
Yep same issue here. Disabling the plugin doesn't let you run flash content obviously. This is an issue that Firefox has had in various forms for years now. The ideal solution would be for things to migrate from flash to html 5, but that'll be awhile. I just have noticed window-eyes being pretty sluggish in firefox as a result. There is always the option, too, of using an add-on like noscript or flashgot to disable or enable it at ones choosing.
