How to solve problems with Memory Leaks and High use CPU- Flash plug-in ?

Use always latest version plugin.

Theoretical workaround:
How to disable the plugin-container process in the environmental variables

satrow · Jun 7, 2016

I've never seen a Flash plugin-container memory leak and the Flash Unresponsive plugin warning is very rare in my experience.

I've used Flash ESR for ~3 years and Flash is set to click to play on the vast majority of sites I visit.

Extended Support Release - Flash Player 18.0.0.352 (Win & Mac)

What is the Extended Support Release?

Adobe makes available a version of Flash Player called the "Extended Support Release" (ESR) to organizations that prefer Flash Player stability over new functionality. We have created a branch of the Flash Player code that we keep up to date with all of the latest security updates, but none of the new features or bug fixes available in our current release branch. This allows organizations to certify and stay secure on Flash Player with minimal effort.

We recommend that companies focused on security and stability take a close look at this release option.

ESR versions don't include new stuff that might be problematic, they're stable versions. New doesn't always mean good/better.

How many of your search results are of ESR Flash versions?

maki · Jun 7, 2016

ESR Flash

The old version does not work

I know better solutions than your strange solution with the old unstable plugs!

satrow · Jun 7, 2016

It's the current ESR Flash version, updated, secure and stable.

If it doesn't work for you, try uninstalling the latest, greatest, more crash prone version first :) <-- Live link to Flash uninstaller.

Also check that you haven't used any old 'tweaks' that you found whilst searching.

Bad solution.

The best solution :smile9:

Go to Advance system settings
Click the button called "Environment Variables"
Click the “New” button under User variables or System variables depending if you want the change to affect all the users on the system or just the one you are currently logged as
Set the variable name to MOZ_DISABLE_OOP_PLUGINS and its value to 1

Very bad solution.

You disable crash protection and break some plugins which can't run integrated: 769721 – Force-enable OOPP for Flash users on Windows Vista+

niemiro -

For me, a very good solution.:huh:
Pale Moon works more stable and much faster!!!:dance:
Nothing hangs, low RAM and CPU usage. :smile9:

Did you try to troubleshoot the actual cause for your issue?

Do you have any steps to reproduce it?

What else did you try?

maki · Jun 8, 2016

I could debug, but I just removed all old "Dump Files", so cannot more details.

satrow · Jun 8, 2016

Did you ask about this issue elsewhere, maybe the Pale Moon forum, Mozilla, Adobe,... ?

Yes, but you know life?

Remove/Delete addons, application, turn off the AV / Firewall, start in safe mode, throw your PC out the window ^^ and many other known solutions, which are not always helpful. :lol:

It is against forum policy to ask about the same issue at multiple forums. It wastes helpers time and confuses everyone. It is strictly forbidden.

Can you please list here all of the other threads you have open at other forums about the same issues as posted here? We need to know so that we don't step on each other's shoes or risk causing damage to your system.

If you don't tell us about all of these threads, or if you multiple post any more threads, we may be forced to stop you from asking any more questions here for a time whilst these other threads are closed up elsewhere.

Thank you for your understanding.

maki · Jun 8, 2016

niemiro - You misunderstood me.
I just had threads on the forum Mozilla and PaleMoon
but that many people could not help me or provide help.
Only attach logs and create a ticket and send log for developer.
However, the removed posts, the account because it still has not been solved, so I wrote here.
But my problem was already solved :)

niemiro · Jun 8, 2016

Okay. Thank you for letting me know. I think this thread has run its course - you've found a solution which works well for you, we've outlined a few pitfalls of this method for you to keep in mind, but at the end of the day I'm glad it worked for you. I'll mark this thread as solved.
