I use Pale Moon as my favored browser, however recently and quite often now when dealing with a web page I suddenly get the message:

"The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed (Learn more)"

I look at Learn More and it explains what it is but does not tell you how to resolve it, I just get the option on the right to "reload page". All very well but I would rather it was fixed.

I would be oblidge of any assistance you guys could offer me please.

Many thanks

Are you running the lastest version of flash player and pale moon? I get the error sometimes but not often. Its also possible you have other browser addons causing an issue. You can try uninstalling flash player and reboot and reinstall and see what happens.

Check your addons for anything suspicious. Also run adwcleaner, junk ware removal tool and malwarebytes to check for malware.

Pale Moon has a lot of issues with Flash. You need to disable protect mode, but even then there are issues.

Try running the uninstaller and reinstall. https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

When you click more info what does it say?

I find that flash or a script always stalls out and I have to stop the script in Facebook. I can't wait till HTML5 just takes over.

What website is flash crashing?

I wish also that we did not have to depend on Flash that most IPTV providers use ,and most time is the cause of buffering issues, but there's no other way to go around it,till iptv providers change to HTML5 which i'm curious to see if is any better because most issues of buffering are the source with not enough bandwidth for so many users that clog the server.


Overview
Flash has been around pretty much since the beginning of the Internet. Well, maybe not its exact beginning, but ever since you started seeing something moving on a website, chances are you were looking at a piece of Flash content. Flash uses containers to store the interactive content, which are then rendered in browsers using a plugin – Flash Player. Because the contents of the container don’t change from one platform to another, Flash content is basically platform-independent, so whether you’re watching a Flash-based website on your PC or on a mobile phone, it will look the same.

HTML5 uses a completely different approach, using pure code to generate the interactive content. This means that the elements are not pre-made in an exact form and stored, but rather have their characteristics coded and have the browser render the actual content when the page is loaded. For this reason, a HTML5 page can look and behave differently when accessed from different browsers, making it a bless for web designers that want to create different versions of their website for different platforms, and a real pain for those who just need to make a website look and feel the same on all devices.

Development
When it comes to creating the actual content, Flash holds the upper hand, thanks to its longevity, which translates into a large resource pool and an even larger community to exchange ideas with. HTML5, on the other hand, is still a fairly new technology, so its capabilities are still limited at this point. This is prone to change, though, since the number of adopters grows quickly, but there it’s still a long road ahead. After all, you can’t expect a technology that’s just a few years old to catch up and surpass a technology that’s been in use for nearly two decades. Still, if it won’t be able to surpass it, HTML5 might incorporate it – that’s right, HTML5 content plays quite nicely with Flash content.
