The question is, "How do you disable it and then reenable it?"

John,
I've left it installed but disabled it. This way most pages will default
to using HTML 5. And when I hit the occasional page that is written to
use only Flash I then enable it and disable it when done.
Hth,
Tom

Shockwaves extremely old and dangerous, uninstall it.

Does not using Flash degrade Windoweyes performance? By the way, I've
noticed that even with Shockwave disabled, WE still locks up on ocdcasion.

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.

Subject: Problem with shockwave (adobe) plug-in
Hi. 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. John
