"The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed."

    Been getting this message now the last few days on my Mac and it's really annoying me,
    It's gotten to the point now where I can't watch youtube videos without seeing this message.

    I decided to try safari and the same message comes up,
    I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player, then reinstalled it and no joy.
    I updated both Safari and Firefox, still nothing.

    I updated all my plug ins, cleared all cookies and nothing seems to be working.

    Anyone have any ideas what this might be?

    Maybe one your plugins/extensions is conflicting with Flash. Does it happen with Chrome? It has built in Flash.

    And you don't need Flash to watch YouTube. Join the HTML5 trial.

    Latest update to Flash is a travesty. Previously all I had to worry about was flash cooking my CPU. Now stuff takes ages to load. YT video for example takes 15 seconds before they even start.

    Thinking of just uninstalling it altogether.

    Flash is needed less and less every day. There was a time when I was constantly running into Flash video that I couldn't play on my iPad. Now I'd say that most of the websites I frequent use or link to HTML5 video.

    I still have Flash installed on my MBP (with ClicktoFlash and HTML5 set as default), but my MBA has been completely Flash-free since I got it.
