Flashplayer 20 memory leak making it impossible to play for more than an hour at a time

Hi,

Thanks for reporting the issue. We are looking into the bug fix. We will update you son.

I'm having the same issue, just browsing the web.  After a couple hours, the memory usage for flash grows to over 2gb.  Unless I kill the process and let it start over again, it will keep growing until the machine becomes completely unresponsive.

Running Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit with all current updates and Firefox 43.0.4.  I just uninstalled Flash and will have to do without until this can be fixed.

Is anyone aware of an earlier version of Flash that works properly, or any idea if/when this will be fixed?

Hi,

Could you please share the flash site and steps to reproduce the issue.

Please use latest Firefox version and FP 20.0.0.286.

Thanks

Sorry, but I uninstalled Flash.  Not sure if I will use it again.  From what I understand, when HTML 5 becomes more widespread, we won't need Flash at all.

BTW, I was on the latest version of Firefox and Flash.
