Flash Player Content does not Minimize when Firefox does

When Firefox is Minimized, Flash Player Content does not.
It shows it perfectly with other opened (not minimized) applications in the exact location where it was (the flash content) before. The other application seems to need an RGB colour map of exactly #000000 for it to show.
It cannot be captured in a screenshot using screengrab, nor can it be shown in playback from recordmydesktop.

How about the screen saver that kicks in...
It can even be worse when you also get a red/blue color swap.

Unfortunately Adobe no longer maintains Flash on Linux, so Flash 11.2 is the latest and Adobe has no intention to fix any issues in this version apart from security updates.

Adobe Flash Player/Shockwave is not running on FireFox... does not run in Youtube, or other video sites.

Hmmm... this morning I was watching youtube videos.. and I noticed a little lag. Really minor... but thought that shouldn't be happening.? So decided to see if I could fix it. Not sure what I did or if I did anything to cause this? I really don't think so. Maybe firefox.exe -p?? Was working fine up until today?
I've read a bunch of the forums and tried a bunch of stuff but still no go. When I disable protected mode it works fine, but I want protected mode to be enabled so that I'm... well... 'protected!'
I've uninstalled FireFox and Flash Player and reinstalled numerous times but still same thing.
I'm running Windows 8.1, with most recent Flash and FireFox. My computer is an i7 4700HQ 2.4 Ghz, 12 GB Ram etc... its a 6 month laptop.
Anyone know what the issue is? I've never experienced anything like it? I've ran Malaware bytes.. didn't find anything. Ran AVG and found one threat... I think it was the Crack threat (cockos??) does that ring a bell...? came from a torrent. That issue has been healed now tho.. not sure if they are related??
Also ran a disc cleanup and it took about 5 minutes... doesn't usually take that long but its all clean now. Deleted a bunch of debug dump files... again, not sure if that's related??
Here are a few of the crash error logs I've gotten recently:

Some background information about the Adobe Flash Protected Mode for '''''christ1'''.
http://blogs.adobe.com/security/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 that you have is a relatively low end graphics card and low end for on-board graphics chips, whichever you have. ''Unless that is a laptop that switches drivers for "gaming" which puts a lot more load on the hardware and runs the battery out a lot faster.'' Technically the HD 4600 ''should'' be enough for web browsing, but Flash is a lot more than simple web browsing.
IMO, if disabling the Flash Protected Mode solves that issue - do that. Or upgrade your hardware, especially if you have a separate Graphics Card ''[vs an on-board chip]'' or can install a better card in a desktop computer.
As far as YouTube videos goes, have you tried using the HTML5 setting for YouTube?
https://www.youtube.com/html5
Make that setting and Google will deliver HTML5 video when it is available for each "clip". From what I have seen ''[I'm not a big user of YouTube, though]'', like maybe 75% of the clips I see are available in HTML5 - ''ymmv''.
BTW, Mozilla is working on eliminating the need for even having to use Flash. They're working a a project which is code-named Shumway to play SWF-format files.
http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/
You can download it from that page, but it is at the early stages of development and needs a lot more work before it is truly usable.

Flash player shows "Movie not loaded" on Firefox 7; would 32 bit version or mode solve?

Flash Player 11.0.1.152 is loaded on my machine. Firefox 7.0.1 is my browser. Running Windows 7 Home Premium. Flash content which worked before now does not. When I visit Flash enabled sites, the display area for the Flash content remains blank. When I right click in the display are, I get the "Movie not loaded" message. I have seen suggestions that the current Flash version does not work in 64 bit browsers. Is a 32 bit version of Firefox 7 available or is there a way to run it in 32 bit mode? Does it sound likely that this would resolve the issue?

This computer has two different versions of Flash Player for Internet Explorer and two different versions of Flash Player for other browsers.
A clean install is recommended:
Windows
Download the current 32 bit uninstaller Uninstaller for 32 bit Operating Systems
Close all browser windows and run the uninstaller
Restart Windows
Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (tip: copy and paste these paths into the path bar in an Explorer window)
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flas
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
Verify that the file “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl” in C:\Window\system32\ for 32 bit systems has been deleted.
Download the following installer files:
32 bit Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
32 bit Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Physically disconnect from the Internet and run the installers.

3. Run the uninstaller
4. Delete the following folder, depending on your operating system type:
Windows 32bit - c:\Windows\system32\macromed

5. Restart your computer
6. Download and install Flash Player located here:

FLASH Player 10.1 NOT WORKING WITH FIREFOX PLEASE HELP!!

Hello I need help with this problem quickly. I have had this problem for the last month and it's driving me crazy.
I am running Firefox 3.6.10 on a 32 bit on Windows Vista I have tried uninstalling and re installing nothing is working. I have read through many post and still haven't got any luck please Help.
Here are some of the things listed on my system32 Macromed flash
FLASH 10K.OCX
FLASH INSTALL
FLASH PLAYER.XPT
FLASHUTIL10K_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10_ActiveX
FLASHUTIL10k_Plugin
NPSWF32.DLL
PLEASE HELP THANKS IN ADVANCE

Hi, Just got my Internet connection back! Without knowing what add ons/plugins/extensions you have in FF, it is difficult
for me to say what else may be conflicting.
Other than that, your choices are either Uninstall 3.6.10 and Install a version that wasn't giving you a problem. You could Install the FF beta.
Mozilla has a list of many extensions that conflict with FF if you want that link to look over. One of the other links has to do with other issues that may be helpful.
Let me know and I'll post those to you.

Flash Player 10 does not work in IE or Firefox. What could it conflict with?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 (and sometimes IE 8.0.6001.18702IC) on Windows XP Pro, SP 3.
For some weeks now, I have been unable to hear any sounds on anything Flash-based, from YouTube to games at MSN.com or embedded videos on any site using Flash. Initially I had assumed it to be because of having QuickTime installed because I know QT likes to hijack everything. I uninstalled QT (and Real Player) and Flash Player then reinstalled Flash Player (and Shockwave Player just in case) and guess what?
Yup. Nothing. When I uninstalled everything, I used a program called Revo Uninstaller, which includes a registry cleaning option. I then used Abexo and WinASO's registry cleaners to make sure I got everything else that even looked like QuickTime off my hard drive.
When I reinstalled Flash, the following programs appeared in C:\Windows\system 32\Macromed\Flash:
Flash 10i.ocx (10.1.82.76)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX (10.1.82.76)
FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.82.76)
genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll (10.1.82.76)
NPSWF32.dll (10.1.82.76)
KB931433
FlashInstall
Install
Flashplayer.xpt
When I check IE's "Tools" and look for add-ons, it says that Flash (Shockwave Flash) is enabled. I even enabled the other Adobe add-ons for Acrobat and such just to be sure. Firefox shows Shockwave Flash and Shockwave for Director both to be enabled. The Flash control panel settings don't help: I have all sites set to store about 100 KB on my computer to make sure there's enough room for everything but still nothing.
Before anyone asks, my audio drivers are up to date, thanks to the manufacturer's website. I have DirectX 9.0c installed and everything else works fine. I can play audio and video elsewhere with no problems. It's only Flash that's showing me this trouble and there's no hint as to what else could be interfering with Flash.
Any ideas?

Well, great. I tried the uninstall/reinstall before, but not with the uninstaller, so I was hopeful that this time might do it. No such luck. The video still plays, but no sound.
All the sound settings are working with everything else from games to media players. I set Windows' firewall to allow both the ActiveX and plugin for Flash, just in case.
In the Flash folder, I now have:
Flash10l.ocx (10.1.102.64)
Flash Util10l_ActiveX (10.1.102.64)
FlashUtil10l_Plugin (10.1.102.64)
Genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll (10.1.102.64)
NPSWF32.dll (10.1.102.64)
And the setup and text files that went with 'em.
I've also done a system restart since then and zip.
I went through IE and Firefox and looked for any file associations (like .flv) that I could manually change over to using Flash, but no go. The settings panels for Flash have all been set to allow YouTube specifically (as a test) and to allow 10KB of storage space for all affected sites.
Now what? I'm really not looking forward to a reformat and reinstall, but it's looking like that's what it's going to take.

Subject: Flash Player 10 does not work in IE or Firefox. What could it conflict with?
Something is strange with your list of modules; you list FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.102.64), but this is really 10.1.85.3
I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely (using http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), then restart Windows, and delete all remaining files in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash.
Next reinstall both ActiveX (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe) and the plugin (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe).
After that, if the problem persists, have a look at this page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83739.html

Hi, You might want to review the Troubleshooting Guide as it has been updated and a lot of new information is now included. If you prefer you can use the Manual Installer for IE which you'll see there. A lot of the questions that I would ask are listed also.

I keep getting this message when trying to watch TV or filmsThis content requires Adobe Flash Player, which is not supported by your device

I keep getting this message when trying to watch TV or films
This content requires Adobe Flash Player, which is not supported by your device
Is there an app that will play this. I can't find one....

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news and media sites, have their own apps in the App Store.
If you do a search on this forum you will find hundreds of other threads on the subject.

SCORM (flash Player Content) not working on Windows Server 2012 R2 which has IE11 integrated installed on it.

Hi Everyone,
I have website which contains SCORM package, installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 which has IE11 installed on it.
Flash Player is also embedded with IE.
IE Version: 11.0.9600.17278.
Updated Version: 11.0.12 (KB2977629)
When I launch SCORM (flash Player Content) from my application, it is not working. It just displays a blank page however the Title of IE is set to the text from the SCORM content.
However if I access the same URL from any other machine which has previous version of Windows OS (i.e. previous to Windows 8 OS), it is working as expected on IE9, IE10 and IE11.
While trying to find out the cause, I came across some forum which says we have to install the “Desktop Experience” on the server to enable the inbuilt flash player. After doing that also, My SCORM contents are not getting displayed.
To find out more details, I have uploaded the SCORM Package on SCORM Cloud to check if it is working there. Here again the same problem, it doesn’t work and displays
error message saying that “Member is not found” and when I tried to find out the location of the error then it is coming at
Windows.document.myFlash.setVariable(…) method on the Windows Server 2012 R2 with IE11.
When I performed “Addwatch”, it is saying that Windows.document.myFlash doesn’t have setVariable(…) method.
However if access the same cloud URL from other machine (Having OS previous to Windows 8 OS), it is working as expected.
I have attached the screenshot of the error.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
I'd ask the SCORM package provider or in Microsoft's ASP.Net forums:

As Microsoft's ASP.Net forums are on a different platform, we cannot move the question for you.

I've down loaded adobe flash player but when I try to veiw video on firefox I'm still told that I need adobe flash player. How do I get firefox to see the flash player download?

I was trying to view a video I uploaded to facebook using firefox. The system told me to down load adobe flash player. I did but still get the message that I need to down load flash player. How do I get firefox to see the down loaded adobe flash player?

by installing from within Firefox, Internet Explorer has its own version (Active-X).
Make sure you are starting in the correct place for Flash
* http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you want to read PDF files in you browser, you might also want
* http://get.adobe.com/reader/
After the download,
#bring up the download manager ("Ctrl+J") and start your installs. As soon as the install comes up,
#close Firefox with '''File > Exit''' or "Firefox" button > Exit. Give Firefox some time to close.
#If install does not proceed, '''terminate "firefox.exe"''' and '''"plugin-container.exe"''' from the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
#* Windows 7 shortcut to the WTM is "Ctrl+Shift+Esc"
#* or on any Windows system from "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then choose Windows Task Manager.
#*Make sure that "firefox.exe" is no longer running -- if it is still running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu, and do the same for "plugin-container.exe" if it is found there.
#proceed with the install.
'''Warning''': this is the Adobe site and they have chosen to to provide crapware along with their own product. Only install the product you were planning to install. Do not install additional products: including -- "Free! McAfee Security Scan Plus" or "Google Chrome". Installing Google Chrome on your own and installing it because it is offered on the Adobe site are two different things.
Find updates for your installed plugins at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ mozilla.com/plugincheck
-- best to use Adobe's site to really see if their plug-ins are up to date.
Please fix your caps lock or read what you type, do you think anybody could read my answer if I typed in all caps.
If the above fails to correct the problem, I would try uninstalling Adobe Flash from your system entirely first, from the control panel then "Programs and Features".

Flash Player content not loading IE11...

Hi I'm having issues with Flash Player on IE 11...
OS:                    Windows 7 Professional SP1.
Browser:             IE 11 (Version: 11.0.9600.17041 / Update version: KB2929437)
Flash Player:      ActiveX Version 16.0.0.235
                         NPAPI Plug-in Version 16.0.0.235
                         PPAPI Plug-in Version Not installed
Website:            http://www.nick.co.uk    (as well as others but this one is one of the important sites; as reward for students at the school)
I have disabled ActiveX filtering, I have made sure that Shockwave Flash Object is enabled; I have made sure that ActiveX is allowed on all sites... As far as I can tell I have ticked/un-ticked all the right boxes and still IE11 will not load any Flash Player content.
The quick fix would be to use Firefox or Google Chrome or any other web browser; however the students at the school I work at have severe and profound learning, behavioural, and/or physical difficulties that mean I do not want to interfere with the established method of accessing the internet, and software that they are familiar with.
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

In manage add-ons, it shows Shock wave as enabled but Flash Player still does not work.

Can I download the stand-alone Flash Player that does not need a browser? I have ver 11.5 r502 that I d/l last year; would like a newer release.

Can I download the stand-alone Flash Player that does not need a browser? I have ver 11.5 r502 that I d/l last year (11 Feb 2013); would like a newer release.
Can't find much about the standalone viewer, except in the Flash Builder docs, which says a .swf can specify to use it. I can't find a download link.
Thanks, Doug

You can download the standalone player (Projector) from https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you need to make the .swf file association manually.

Flash Player installed but not working....

had a virus 3 days ago which was resolved with assistance from Microsoft. Now Adobe Flash does not work (when I go to Youtube, it says I do not have the latest version. I have unistalled, restarted, installed at least 10 times. Sites still say I need the latest version. I do see Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X in the programs in my control panel. I have downloaded version 10.1.102.64. I am running IE8 (i assume 32-bit since it does not say 64-bit) on Windows Vista. I have checked the files in my windows/system32/macromed/flash folder and it show the following files:
Flash Player Trust folder
Flash10I.ocx
FlashInstall
FlashUtil10I_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10I_ActiveX
install
I had turned off my Norton AV and firewall. I have also made sure that all security has been set to medium at that java scripting shows as enabled...
Flash player still does does not work: says I need to install latest version on websites (youtube etc.)
HELP!!

Hi, I see you've been on quite a few forums advocating Firefox & Chrome. All this does is give them a browser that perhaps Flash Player would be performing as it should. But it doesn't solve their issue with IE.
And referring users to follow procedures meant for another user under different circumstances and computer configurations
is not in their best interest.
All you are doing is confusing the person, since the required information about their computer has not been obtained.
You may want to rethink posting referrals, I could do that myself, since I'm on a lot of threads here.
