Is it just me?

It sure seems like the Flash plug-in for Safari crashes an awful lot.

At least it doesn't take down the browser but it's getting annoying.

(latest versions of Safari and Flash - also I've done a re-install of SL w/no difference).

When you say latest version of Flash, are you talking about the beta release or the latest 'official' release?

I know with the beta, it seemed to have caused more problems for me and I downgraded to the official release, and haven't had as many issues since. It still crashes once in awhile, though.

Version 10.0.32

Software Update doesn't have any updates available so I'm guessing that is the latest production version.

That's the current version. However, Software Update isn't the source for Flash plugin updates unless there is a security problem with a certain version and Apple proactively updates the plugin for you via a security or OS update. You need to check Adobe.com for current versions. Otherwise, you could be running a buggy version much longer than necessary.

I rarely have a flash plugin crash but I'm using Click2Flash to suppress it. I only activate flash when I need to see something.

Good to know. You'd think after nearly 10 years of running OS X I would know that. But I'm not as young as I used to be.
