Your System Details shows;

Installed Plug-ins

Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0 Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0

Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.

How do I see if I have more than one version of Shockwave Flash?

Addons Manager > Plugins

or look at more system details to the right of your initial posting here.

I did have 13.0 and 14.0 shockwave plugins both installed. I uninstalled the 13.0 and now I get an error message that says could not read @ 0x774ce114 @ 0xffffffff Now what?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the <Alt> or <F10> key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;

Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences

Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration. Then restart.

I still get the same message with a bell/bong that sounds when the message appears. Currently I've left the hardware accelerator off. Even when I come out of the safe mode after having turned off the H.A. the message displays then as well.

Did you get the error in safe mode?

Yes, .... the only time the error message comes on is when I close firefox. So in the safe mode I closed firefox and the same message came up.

See if there are any crash reports for the last week.

Those reports haven't been submitted. Can you click them on the about:crashes page to submit them, so they get a bp- prefix?

So, do you now see crash reports with a "bp-" prefix? If you see them then please post a few of them.

Open about:crashes Using the mouse, mark everything you can see, and copy it. Now, in the reply box below, right click it and select paste.

I knew how to do that, sorry. I didn't know if you wanted a copy of each individual report or just the page. Here it is...

The BP report number is better all around. Once a report is submitted, the Mozilla system checks for comparisons with other reports. Sometimes this shows where the problem is.

There have been lots of shockwave problems of late.


It looks like you have AVG on your system. Some have reported problems.

You still have Shockwave 13 and 14 installed?
