That's without knowing if the problem will come back.
we recommend that you upgrade to the most recent version of your browser. I probably can resolve this with a complete re-install, but will wait to do that as a last resort. A: Adobe Flash Player is a cross-platform, browser plugin that provides. Please visit for the latest list of Flash-supported browsers and operating systems. Please visit Apple’s Safari support for more information. I've mitigated the problem a little bit with Flashblock for Chrome, but still - when I actually need to load something in Flash, the computer locks up again.Īdditionally, the computer gets very, very hot when playing Flash video, it gets even hotter than some really CPU intensive tasks - like After Effects rendering. Apple Safari version 14, released for macOS in September 2020, no longer loads Flash Player or runs Flash content. I don't think it's a Lion problem since I've been plagued with this since Snow Leopard. I've tried Safari, with the same problem occuring. However, it seems every time I visit a website with Flash, whether it be Youtube, or a site with a simple Flash advert, Chrome and sometimes all of OSX lock up for up to two minutes with the SBBOD, and then spontaneously returns to a normal state. I have the mid-2009 Macbook Pro (Core 2 Duo, 2.53 Ghz, 4GB RAM, OSX 10.7.2), and use the most recent version of Chrome.
