Frank Nitty Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) I need a workaround for the issue of flash player crashing in Safari and Firefox on 10.9.1. When I watch videos other than YouTube's, I'll see pink/neon purple and green artifacts on the preview image and then they crash and sometimes I either have to 'force quit' the app or manually shutdown and reboot the system because of excessive non-responsiveness. I also can't screenshot anything, and wonder if that has anything to do with OpenCL. Here are a couple of images of the crashes occuring: Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks --------------- UPDATE--------------- YouTube crashes too. It is intermittent and shows pink/neon purple and green artifacts on the preview image of the video.

poispois Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Have you tried disabling Flash hardware acceleration?

Frank Nitty Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Have you tried disabling Flash hardware acceleration? After posting the initial thread, I went ahead and updated Flash Player to version 13.0.0.168 if that means anything. I went to System Preferences -> Flash Player menu. I don't see the option disabling Flash hardware acceleration anywhere.

poispois Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Try this: How odd it may seem, do you have a webcam supported by Mavericks?

Frank Nitty Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Try this: How odd it may seem, do you have a webcam supported by Mavericks? Hey poispois, thanks for your help. I figured out what the problem was. I needed to update to 10.9.2 which I documented here [had the hardest time figuring it out] and I updated the graphics drivers with this. Problem solved.
