Flash Player gone with Firefox, Still works with IE.

Flash Player suddenly stopped working with Firefox.
I uninstalled and reloaded. Works with IE, but still not with
Firefox. That's my primary browser. Any ideas?
Thank you, -Bob

davexnet,
Thanks very much for the suggestion. Tried, no luck. I also
tried to download an update for an anti-virus program and it
returned the same error as the Flash Player download. So, must be a
Firefox problem, right? Error message was........"exe could not be
opened because an unknown error occurred." Thanks again, Bob

  • Trouble with Flash Player 10 and Firefox 3.6.9

    I too an having trouble getting FP to work with FF.  I can use IE8 without any issue, but don't like IE.
    The directory shows FP is there but every site I visit that has a "flash" video/graphic, etc still tells me I need to install the plug-in
    Any ideas?

    Hi, thanks for the info. You have the correct Flash files for IE. Look in manage add ons for Shockwave Flash Object and make sure it is Enabled.
    Now you need to Install Flash Player into Firefox. Download the Flash Player Installer for Firefox and SAVE it to your Desktop:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    Once you have done that, then Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
    RUN the Installer and when it is finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
    Now look in you plugins for that SWF and make sure it is Enabled.
    You had Installed Flash Player in IE, you just had not Installed it in FF yet. Now you should be fine and those Flash files should be in your Flash folder.

  • New flash player 11 update doesn't work with internet explorer 8

    I have Windows 7 and IE 8. This is a home desktop computer.
    When the latest update of FlashPlayer 11.5.502.146 was automatically installed on Jan 9, IE8 stopped working. I can navigate to a site, but then it just freezes. I can not click any toolbar or other buttons or links--I can not even close IE--I have to use task manager. If I disable Flashplayer, IE works fine, but then of course no content can be displayed. If I go to a site and then enable Flashplayer, I can't click on anything again, so that doesn't work. HELP. Does the newest update not work with IE8?

    I have a similar problem. I've Win XP SP3 with IE 8. For last few months I've noticed that Flash Player is not able to play flash audio/video on a webpage i.e., upon visiting a page the flash player starts loading but it does not finish - a circle keeps rotating - player does not manage to display 'Play' button. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player 11.5.502.146. Also, installed Flash Player 11.6.602.161 from above link. But, with same result.
    Same behaviour is repeated in FireFox 18.0.1 with Flash Player 11.5.502.146. It seems that something else is not allowing flash player to play. I've latest Java 7 Upd 13, ZoneAlarm 11 and Avast 7.0.1474.
    (Note: I've another PC with Win XP SP3, IE 8 and FireFox 18.0.1 and Flash Player 11.5.502.146 works well. It has Java 7 Upd 13. It has ZoneAlarm 11 and Windows Defender AV)
    Can anyone help?

  • How to get Flash Player 10.1 r53 to work with Mac OS X 10.6.4.

    I have the latest version of Flash Player on my Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard computer but I can't get videos to play.  I've read in Adobe comments that Flash Player 10.1 is not working on 64-bit systems (which is mine).  How can I get a version of Flash Player that WILL work on my Mac??  When I try to play a video from youtube.com it says I need to upgrade my Flash Player and to get it from Adobe (which I did but the 10.1 version doesn't work!!!  I'd appreciate any help I can get from anyone who can provide a solution.   Thank you.   Dave McCanna

    You will also need to specify what browser and version you are using.
    You will also need to give a little bit more info than just "does not work".

  • I have Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, but I'm still missing Flash Player?

    So I have installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, and I'm able to watch youtube videos on my browser and other things that require flash player, but I have a disc that i got along with my Samsung monitor, and when I put it in my computer, it says that I do not infact have flash player. Also, when I try playing a game, DawnGate, theres a black box where a video should be, and it says that i do not have flash player, and it is required to watch these videos. I tried uninstalling, and I was unable to watch youtube, and when i reinstalled, I was able to watch youtube again, but that did not fix my problem. Is there something I'm missing? I look forward to hearing from someone soon.

    Odds are it's looking for the IE plugin: (A lot of software just assumes ALL Windows users are "slaves to Microsoft" and only have IE installed.)
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    or the standalone Player:

  • Why the hell ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10.2 DOESN'T WORK on Firefox 4???

    Adobe Flash Player 10.2 doesn't work on firefox 4. I downloaded 10 times, I installed and again, "Please install ADOBE FLASH PLAYER"

    You appear to have it installed twice. Your system specs show you have both Shockwave Flash 9.0 r28 and Shockwave Flash 10.2 r159 installed.
    What I suggest you do here is to uninstall Flash using Adobe's uninstaller which you can download from here: [http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe uninstall_flash_player.exe]
    Close Firefox before you run the uninstaller, then reboot.
    Then manually install Flash using this file: [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe install_flash_player.exe] Close Firefox again before you run it.

  • Is flash player compatible with kindle fire?

    Is flash player compatible with the kindle fire?

    I am able to run flash on my Kindle Fire HD. It was actually really easy. You have to use a process called sideloading. The information is all over the web. Check out this site: http://kindlefirelive.com/install-adobe-flash-player-onto-your-kindle-fire/

  • Flash Player And adobe reader not working and downloads don't work

    I have IE 8 and windows vista and everything has worked great for 2 years until 2 or 3 weeks ago.  At that time my flash player stopped working so I could no longer get videos , streaming stock quotes, weather map loops, etc and when I go to websites that use Flash (i.e. Piaaz Hut) it wouldn't work.  Also, at that same time my adobe reader stopped working properly and I can't view mosy PDF Files.
    I have gone through many of the posts on this forum and have tried many of the fixes, but none have work for me.
    I tried to uninstall the Flash Player, but I didn't use the Adobe uninstaller.
    Whenever I try to update or load the Flash player, a dialog box with the globe tossing papers to the folder appears and then after a few seconds I get the the message that IE can't install_flash_player_ax.exe from fp download.adobe.com, and then a message that says IE was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
    In control panel programs I have listed
    Adobe AIR      no size
    Adobe Flash Player 10 active X           no size
    Adobe Reader 9.3     141mb
    Macromedia Shockwave player      no size
    In Tools i have the following add ons and they are all enabled
    Shockwave Flash object 10.0.42.34
    Adobe PDF Link Helper
    Adobe PDF Reader
    Macromedia Shockwave Active X Control 10.1
    As I said I've already attempted a number of the fixes on this forum, but so far no luck.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I might try?
    Thanks

    Ok, I tried to download the firefox browser but IE wouldn't let me download it.  My friend downloaded it from their computer to a flash drive and I loaded it to my computer from the flash drive.  The download of Firefox from the flash drive worked, and now I'm using Firefox & both my adobe flash player and my adobe reader are working just great.
    However, neither the flash player nor the reader are working if I use IE, so I guess I will just have to use Firefox as my browser.
    I'm going to mark my question as answered since I really don't care that I have to use Firefox instead of IE,although I can't understand why it works using Firefox but not using IE.
    Thank you so much for your assistance in walking me step-by-step through this problem until I was able to reach a satisfactory solution.

  • Flash Player plug-in has stopped working

    Hello,
    It's about 1-2 months that I have this constant problem with Flash Player plug-in.
    It occurs me (sometimes as soon as the page charges) everytime while I'm playing browser games (like FB ones, Anno-Online, Drakensang Online...) and, maybe, twice, while watching videos: grey screen "Flash Player plug-in has stopped working". Refreshing the page isn't the solution because every very few minutes we're there again and again.
    I already tried almost everything but nothing seems to help me:
    - uninstalling and reinstalling it
    - uninstalling and installing older version (10.3)
    - trying other browser (exact same problem with Google Chrome)
    - disabled protection and even uninstalled my antivirus
    - followed this (http://helpx.adobe.com/it/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html) and a lot of other "guides"
    - disabled every other plug-in
    - formatted my hard disk and reinstalled my OS (not because of this problem, but neither this fixed the situation)
    And I can't remember if I am missing some other try.
    Is there something I can do to fix this problem? It's getting really annoying.
    Hope someone can help me
    Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64
    Firefox 20.0.1 - Google Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m
    Flash Player 11.7.700.169 (same problems with 10.3 and 11.4 versions)
    P.S.: Excuse me for bad English.

    Hello Chris, thanks for your reply.
    Well, I don't know if the crashes occur with 10.3 too, because the games didn't load and a message tells me to upgrade my FP to a newer version of it.
    Here you have some of the games:
    http://www.drakensang.com/
    http://en.anno-online.com/en/homepage
    http://apps.facebook.com/road_to_fame/
    I don't have any sort of steps to follow, to me it occurs very very soon  (few minutes, like 2 or 3) every single time I try to play one of these game during normal game actions. After that, if I reload the page, sometimes FP crashes while the game is still loading, otherwise it'll crash while playing again.
    The firts times this problem occured to me, I used to reload the page many times to regularly end with a system crash and BSoD. So, these last weeks I give up as soon as it crashes first time.
    Hope you can reproduce it and do something.
    Regards,
    Alessandro

  • Flash player freezes in Firefox

    Flash player is causing Firefox to freeze for about 30 seconds whenever I access a website which uses flash.
    I am using the latest version of Firefox (v19.0.2) and the latest version of Adobe Flash (v11.6.602.171). This same problem has existing for at least the last 5 versions released by Firefox and Adobe Flash Player. My OS is Win7 64-bit.
    I am 100% certain that flash is the source of the Firefox freezing problem because I can cause the Firefox freezing to stop and start again by disabling and enabling the Adobe Flash plugin. In order for me to make Firefox usable, I always disable the Adobe Flash plugin.
    I have read on the web that many other Firefox users in the Win7 environment have the same problem that Firefox freezes when Adobe Flash is installed and enabled. There are many reports that the freezing in Firefox can be solved by disabling protected mode in Adobe Flash.
    Unfortunately, the method available for disabling protected mode will not work for myself or anyone else that works on computers issued and supported by my Fortune 500 company. The method of adding a line to the mms.cfg file requires users to have admin rights to editing files in the \windows\system32 directory structure. The company I work for has all computers without such admin privileges. Since there is no alternate for disabling protected mode, myself and all 4000 of my colleagues have no options for fixing this freezing problem.
    Can you please solve this issue by either 1) working with Firefox so that the browser will no longer freeze when Adobe Flash player is installed, enabled, and protected mode is enabled, or 2) make protected mode a configurable feature that can be enabled or disabled by any user group in Windows Control Panel.
    Thanks in advance for you consideration,
    jlavie5555

    Hi jlavie5555,
    I'm sorry you're encountering these pauses.  We work very closely with Mozilla and have been hard at work trying to solve all related protected mode issues since this security feature was released.  We do have a few additional troubleshooting steps you might want to consider taking (in addition to disabling protected mode.)  Please see this faq for details:
    How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
    We also have a new 11.7 beta available that contains significant changes to improve protected mode.  I suspect you might be blocked from installing it, but if this option is available to you I would recommend giving it a try.
    3/7/2013 - Flash Player 11.7 Beta
    Thanks,
    Chris
