Question

Adobe flash player 11.8.800.94 crashes quite often, is there a solution?

The adobe flash player has always crashed for me on occasion, I attributed this simply to be a necessary evil.

However I recently upgraded to the new 11.8.800.94 and have noticed quite a few new quirks that are becoming quite irritating as time goes on and I was wondering if anyone has experienced these as well or know of any potential fixes.

I frequently have youtube videos open on one of my monitors and on the other a webcam chatting service, omegle and the like.

Here is where the issues begin, I will occasionally get a very noticable audio feedback in my headset. It does not happen every time I switch to speaking with someone else but it is often enough that I find it quite irritating.

The second issue I have is far more irritating however, what used to be a crash maybe once a day has become 20+ times a day.

I use Firefox and currently have ver. 22.0 of that browser, now I have not tested it on chrome or internet explorer because neither of those have the ad block capacity that I enjoy and I would prefer not to use another browser.

Has anyone else been experiencing similar problems?

    I also have this sudden problem with Flash 11.8 that is crashes sometimes every some minutes on flash cam chat sites.

    You should go to about:crashes in your browser and click the latest crashes and look, if you come to this kind of bug:

    It's a top crasher for flash in FF22.

    Right now while writing this, I have such flash chat crash.

    Going back to Flash 11.7 from the archives helped me.

    But I did this mistake to update again hoping for a fix.

    We're aware of the issue.  I'm hopeful that we'll land a fix in the beta channel this week. 

    Until we can provide a patch, changing the audio encoding codec from speex to nellymoser seems to be a viable workaround from the content provider's end.
