    Firefox's Flash Player keeps performing illegal opperations, and causes Firefox to crash shortly afterwords. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix?

    What version of Firefox are you running?

    Also, what extensions are you running?

    Does IE crash also?

    I am using Firefox version 1.5.0.3

    The extension that I have installed are:
    DOM Inspector 1.8.0.3
    Talkback 1.5.0.3
    Duplicate Tab 0.7.3
    Stumble Upon 2.61
    Magic: the Gathering Toolbar 1.2 available at my deviantART here
    ColorZilla 0.8.3.1
    Adblock v.5 d3 * nightly 42
    Adblock Filterset.G Updater 0.3.0.4

    As for IE, I have no clue. Is this really pertinant?

    Yes, does flash work fine in IE.

    If it doesn't, then this is not related to FF only. Just would like to know. This is not a workaround. I will not state that you need to just use IE for flash. :)

    As a side note, are all those extensions up to date?

    Try disabling ALL your extensions. Do you still have the same problem?

    IE doesn't crash, but flash files won't work.

    Flash works in IE, but still crashes Firefox.

    Some users fixed similar problems by deleting the file getflash.exe from the Firefox Plugins folder. This is located in the Mozilla Firefox folder in C:\Program Files. It was said to be an autoupdate file, not needed for the functioning of Flash. This fix didn't work for everyone who tried it, but it's worth a shot.

    I tried deleting getflash.exe, but it didn't make a difference.
