Anyone else having problems with ATI, Firefox and Flash

Ever since I upgraded to the newest ATI drivers, my flash player plug in keeps crashing in Firefox 24. Happened with my old HD6950 on Windows 7 and is now happening with my new HD7950 on a fresh install of Windows 7.

I do have an old 4800 that is in the system as well that runs my second monitor. Anyone think that it might be having separate drivers for the 2 that's causing it. Don't think that's the case since if I disable the 4800, I still get the flash crash in Firefox 24.

Just wanted to ask and see if anyone else has run into this before I start pulling old cards and looking for older drivers.

Thank.
 
Are you getting this on other browsers besides FF?
 
Flash 11.8 crashes in FF and has script not responding errors. Use the Flash player uninstall utility, install 11.7, then disable auto update of Flash.
 
I'm not having issues with Chrome or IE. I'll try bigdogchris' solution later tonight and let you know how it goes. Thanks.
 
Nope. Still crashing with 11.7. Gonna try an different ATI/AMD driver and see if that works. Catalyst Control Center keeps crashing too, so maybe they are related somehow.

Thanks.
 
Before doing that, try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox. (Options->Advanced->General Tab)

But if you're getting crashes outside of Firefox, it's likely there's another problem that is not caused by FF.
 
Looks to me like it was an ATI/AMD issue. Chrome and IE were fine, but other flash sites were crashing, so that led me to believe it was outside of just Flash and FF.

Installed an earlier driver and now no problems with Flash Player 11.7.

Will go up to 11.8 some other day and see if it plays well with Firefox. Or maybe I'll just leave it be since it's working now.

Thanks for the assist.
 
The drivers, Flash, and the browser all need to talk.

If you have to run the latest driver, you can disable the hardware acceleration in the browser as well as disable hardware acceleration in Flash (just right click a flash movie and go into the settings).

Good luck.
 
Looks like you have a handle on the problem, but I'll also add in that I had similar crashing problems with that combo.
