ゴメンナサイ

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

So first we should try and figure out what actually is causing it since it may not actually be flash player itself, it could be something else interfering with it.

Have you tried one of the sites in another browser like Chrome or IE? Could be an update Firefox did, or an update one of your plugins did that caused it. Also if you updated the flash player recently, it could be possible the build you got isn't as stable as it could be and rolling back to an earlier one could fix it. So right now the idea is to get a better idea of what the cause is by ruling out factors, the easy one to rule out is if it's something related to firefox or not by trying it in another browser.

I recently upgraded to Firefox 47.0. I don't know when Flash last updated, it does its thing automatically, but before I uninstalled it again it was v22.0.0.192.

I also added a new Greasemonkey script, but it didn't involve Flash at all.

It seemed to work fine on Internet Explorer, but I wasn't sure whether to mention that because Firefox is NPAPI and IE is ActiveX.

I've also got the same version of Firefox, Flash, and I put the same Greasemonkey script set up on my laptop, and it doesn't have any issues. It's only a problem on my desktop.

The most recently updated Firefox plugin was "Widevine Content Decryption Module provided by Google Inc." I have no clue what that is or what it does, but it came in on June 12, about a week before I started having these problems.

Wait, scratch that. Forgot to check Extensions. Newest update for those was Cookies Manager+, updated a day or two before I noticed issues.

The part about the laptop actually helps to know along with it working in IE. So something is up with the Firefox on your desktop. Are there any other differences between your laptop and desktop? Like any plugins on your desktop that aren't on the laptop?

And how long ago did you update Firefox? Even if the version is the same as on your laptop a bad install isn't impossible.

I honestly don't remember when I updated Firefox. Both of them work off of 47.0. I can try for a reinstall.

Extension-wise, the only ones on my desktop that aren't on my laptop are Cookies Manager+ (last updated a few days before I had issues), MEGA (last updated today), a few HP-related ones (laptop's a Dell, desktop's HP, these were all updated about three years ago.), and Tumblr Savior (last updated in April.) Plugin-wise, they're largely identical, with the exception of some HP stuff and Uplay PC.

I'd start with some of those plugins since those are the obvious difference. If none of those end up being the cause, try the rollback of firefox and update again and see if that resolves. If that still doesn't do it, try to disable all extensions and see if that resolves. If it does, then enable one by one until you find the culprit.

Good luck anon!

Thanks. I'll give it a go.

An update, if you're still about.

I've rolled back both Firefox and Flash. No fix. I've started in safe mode. Even with the only active plugin being Flash, it freezes the browser. It still doesn't happen with IE or Edge. I'm gonna see if I can do a system restore to clear things up, but at this point I'm not holding my breath.

System recovery failed to fix it.
