Flash 11 crashing in all browsers

I have been having nothing but problems with this. I usually use Chrome as my internet browser (on Mac OS X 10.6.8), and I kept getting "This plugin has crashed: Shockwave Flash". At first I thought it was just a problem with Chrome, but it is happening in every browser. I disabled it in Chrome, and reinstalled it, and re-enabled it, and it is still not workin. I think I've removed it / reinstalled it four times already and it keeps having the same problem. Any time I go on a website with flash media (youtube, a site with a music player of somesort, google ads that have flash, etc), it gives me a crash report.

      i don't have access to those machines at the momment, but could you try one thing?  i'm not sure it will help, but it won't hurt to try at this point.

      delete the directories within /Users/<yourUserName>/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/

      I am getting Flash Crash as well.  Installed FireFox...more stable browser, and still getting crashes constantly.  Seems ever since 10.1.X, nothing but issues.  They are not responding here in the forums, like they normally do, so I think the programmers are using their own version of "Sandbox".  Hey boys....a little help would be nice.  Read the Forums...there are issues.

      Yep, Flash Plaer 11 is crashing in Firefox, Safari and Chrome- I have tried reinstalling it, turning of the system version, and the built in borwser version, uninstalling, reinstalling an older one,

      there is a big problem with this, and none of the borwser cos. or adobe seem to be doing anything. I am on MacOS (10.6.8), and since the update to Shockwave Flash it has failed every time.

      Same as mwilsonasyck's experience.

      It's also crashing in Rockmelt (I'm not sure how many other people use this), so basically all four browsers on my laptop. It is a huge inconvenience because so many sites I frequent on have some sort of flash element and the stupid "This has crashed" alert basically slows down the whole page. And on a few sites, flash will begin loading and then crash like "haha sucka, fooled you".
