Flash player not loading in Firefox

I just installed the latest version Flash Player and still a page is not loading it. Where the player should be is totally blank, but the rest of the page loads. Here's the page that did not load Flash:
http://gawker.com/civil-disobedience/
YouTube works fine, as other web sites with Flash. I opened the link, above, in Safari and it played with no trouble. Why am I having this problem?

I see the Flash player if I reload the page with a click on the Reload toolbar button or Ctrl+R (Cmd+R on Mac)

  • Flash player not loading videos after firefox update to 32.0.1

    Hi,
    I use Firefox portable and use it for work. I do moderation of videos. I open a page with 5-20 videos that load with Flash Player and view them. Today there was a Firefox update to 32.0.1 version. After update when I open a page I only get 1 video loaded and the others are blank. When I right-click on area where a video should be I get "Movie not loaded..." greyed (can not click) and "About Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.152..."
    I checked and I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player plugin. It was updated few days ago and worked fine until Firefox update. I also checked to open a page with SRWare Iron (also portable browser) and everything works.

    I tried reinstalling Flash twice. Did it as on the link for Windows. The second time I erased also a Flash folder in SysWOW64. Tried installing Adobe Shockwave Player, didn't help and when I disabled Flash plugin and left only Adobe Shockwave Player plugin, didn't get any videos just a link to get Flash.
    Tried this with ProtectedMode=0, also didn't help, everything was the same.
    So still, what ever the number of videos I open on one page/tab, I only get to see one video, the others are blank.

  • Flash player not loading on http but works on https

    I have an issue where flash player shows "movie not loading" on http pages but works fine on https.
    I am using windows 7 64 bit, ie9 64 bit, i have tried it with the latest firefox and chrome and i still get the same issue.
    This started with flash player 10.3, the 10.2 version did not have this problem and all subsequent versions have the same issue. i am currently using the 11.2 version of flash.
    Example: Any flash video on youtube with the address beginning with HTTP, the video screen is black and when you right click you get movie not loading and the correct version of the flash player. If you change the header over to HTTPS the video works fine. this wouldnt be much of a problem except when going to any other website that has flash as its main element but does not have an HTTPS version, you cannot use the page or its features.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, done a clean install, deleted all files and updated every area of my computer but this issue remains. I have read the forums here and done any suggestions listed to no avail and noticed many people have this type of problem. This issue has now been going on for almost 6 months. Can anyone help?
    I may have posted this in the wrong forum and I appologize. If so can you please move it to the correct location?

    I don't claim to know the solution to your problem, but in your situation I would try either or both administrator install methods: 1) Right-click the downloaded install file, choose "Run as Administrator" and install the software as usual. 2) Try using a different Windows account that you are positively certain has full administrator rights or the actual Administrator login name, install with that account.
    Also, make sure you empty the browser cache before retrying the http pages. What about other browser settings, like security or privacy settings? Any add-ons or antivirus browser helper objects?
    Do you only use Internet Explorer, or is this issue the same in Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari?
    Good luck, hope you get the error fixed.

  • Flash player not loading websites like pandora or memrise

    On those websites, the flash player just continues to load until the website times out. I've done the pandora troubleshooting, and I've reinstalled the flash player multiple times. The only thing that worked for awhile was uninstalling and reinstalling chrome. However, if I happened to close chrome, it would not work the next time I started chrome. I have no idea why. I tried firefox and internet explorer and went through the adobe page on proper installation for them as well. I've deleted all cache data, and changed my settings in chrome to clear browsing data, I disabled ad block, I have plugins set to run automatically, I have memrise and pandora allowed in the pop up blocker.
    Here is the plugin information from chrome:
    Adobe Flash Player (2 files) - Version: 11.7.700.179
    Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700
    I also tried disabling my avg and spybot from running too, but that didn't work either.
    I also tried running chrome as administrator.
    I restarted my computer multiple times while attempting to fix this.
    I cannot think of anything else to do.
    Please help me!

    "Install Flash...", nope...enable Shockwave.
    My experience is my own, but this may work for you.
    Opening Pandora in Chrome a link to download Flash v10 or higher appears. Huh? It worked last week before I re-installed and slimmed down the add-ons/bloatware on my laptop. Turned off and allowed EVERYTHING including plug-ins like Pandora suggests as a test. Still nothing. Tried again but on a whim instead of allowing all plug-ins, I clicked "disable individual plug-ins" and found my post-install slimming last week wasn't being reset on the previous page so incrementally I re-allowed each one individually and found allowing the Shockwave add-in fixed it.

  • Flash player not installing on Firefox or Internet explorer...

    I downloaded firefox as my alternate web browser. I play games and things of the like on my laptop, which is a Toshiba Satellite C655 (I'm pretty sure it is ). My flash player works on Google Chrome, but not on Internet Explorer or FireFox. Any help? I've downloaded it (or so it says) 4 times since Sunday night, but everytime I go to play the game, the game says I need to install adobe flashplayer. And this is multiple games so it isn't the game.

    Yes, I have downloaded and installed it. My windows version is Windows 7, I don't know what you mean by edition hmm, do you think it's the ActiveX thing people have been having trouble with? It is in those two folders. these are what are in the folder:
           C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
              Flash64_11_2_202_233.ocx
              FlashInstall
              FlashUtil64_11_2_202_233_ActiveX.dll
              FlashUtil64_11_2_202_233_ActiveX
              FlashUtil64_11_2_202_233_Plugin
              NPSWF64_11_2_202_233.dll
        C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash
              FlashInstall
              Flash32_11_2_202_233.ocx

              FlashUtil32_11_2_202_233_ActiveX
              FlashUtil32_11_2_202_233_Plugin

              NPSWF32_11_2_202_233.dll
              FlashPlayerTrust(folder):
                   Bandoo.cfg
    If that makes any sense to you, and I hope I did it right, then can you tell me what the problem is?

  • Flash Lite 2.0 Content in Flash Player not loading PNGs

    Hi,
    I have a Flash Lite 2.0 Application, that I'm running on a
    Phone. I'm loading local PNG files, which works on the phone and in
    the emulator. The problem is as soon as I run the SWF from Flash
    Player on my PC it's not working. It seems like it's not able to
    load those PNGs, because it's acting like Flash Player 7 (because
    Flash Lite 2.0 is basically Flash 7), even though I have Flash
    Player 9 installed.
    Anybody has any hints?
    thanks,
    M

    Yes, thare are alternatives. Adobe has licensed 03 companies
    to provide Flash Lite content for the Verizon network. These
    companies are certified to delivery games, apps, screensavers, and
    such using Flash Lite for BREW and they aggregate developer's
    content. You can check details at:

  • Flash Player not loading or working- windows 7 IE8

    Several months ago, after some update I assume, Adobe Flash Player stopped working. I've installed and uninstalled repeatedly and tried to follow help instructions, no luck.
    When I download flash it goes through the process and says I'm successful, but then when I go to any page that needs Flash, it tells me I don't have it. And on the flash info page, www.adobe.com/software/flash/about I see the "f", but its not animated and the image that I guess is supposed to show that I have flash installed shows as a blank.
    I uninstall and that seems to run through a process too...  says its been succesfully uninstalled, but I just sat here and ran and re-ran that uninstall, each time its telling me its successfully uninstalling.. I think it would run 100 times so either its doing nothing or I've got an unlimited number of these flash programs installed.
    I have Windows 7, IE 8, IE does not show 64 bit any where so I assume it's correct.
    I just changed security in IE to medium from medium high... tried to load again, restarted the computer, no luck.
    When I go to view addons as I saw in earlier suggestions I don't see Shockware Flash listed any where, not blocked, not showing at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    First thing to check: do you have the "kill-bit" for Flash Player set (e.g. by some malware): http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If you have, don't fix it manually (unless you are very confident using the Registry Editor); just post back, and someone will post an easy way to remove that "kill-bit".

  • Flash Player not working in Firefox

    Suddenly Firefox will not play flash player content called
    when I play games online. It worked fine a few days ago.
    When I click on the link, it opens the game page, but where
    the game should appear, I see a blank black box. When I click on
    the "Play online game" link I also get a large empty black box.
    I am running Windows XP on an HP Pavilion ze2315us laptop. I
    recently installed trial version of Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro.
    In efforts to fix the problem I tried the following:
    Removed adblocker addresses that might conflict.
    Checked blocked sites
    Removed and reinstalled Flash Player.
    Reinstalled Firefox.
    Set folder options to use Firefox to open SWF files
    All to no avail.
    I tried the web site in IE. Had to download and install Flash
    Player again but it works fine in IE.
    Afterwards, it still did not work in Firefox.
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    I have a similar problem in Linux Fedora 16.
    I have installed adobe flash-plugin 11.2.202.233
    In Google Chrome I can see flash applications very well.
    But in Firefox 11.0 flash does not work.
    When I look in about:plugins I see:
    Shockwave Flash
    File: nswrapper_32_32.liblashplayer.so
    Version:
    Shockwave Flas 11.2 r202
    application/x-shockwave-flash
    Shockwave Flash
    swf
    application/futuresplash
    FutureSplash Player
    spl
    Please, in which OS did you worked?
    In the past I with other versions, it did work without any problem.
    Perhaps I can look if I have firewall is turned on?
    Thanks in advance for any answer,
    Greetings,
    Gaston Verhulst.

  • Flash player not running in Firefox, even worse in IE

    I can't seem to be able to run the Flash player.  If I try to run a video on Adobe TV, I can see a normal video player with the buttons I would expect to see: Pay, Rewind, etc.  But nothing happens when I press Play.  I tried this same video using IE, but it looks even worse: I see nothing but a white box -- no controls at all.
    I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit.  I'm using the latest version of Firefox (3.6.11) and the latest version of Flash (10.1.85.3).  I almost never use IE, so I don't know whether I have the latest verion or not (8.0.7600).
    Suddenly and recently, I'm having an additional problem.  I don't know whether it could be related or not, but just in case:  I suddenly could not upload a file using Firefox.  I could, however, upload the same file using IE.  I've checked all my security settings in Windows, Firefox, and McAfee, but can't find anything which would block uploading.
    Another bit of info just in case: Windows stealthily installed Windows  Live.  When I started having the upload problems, I uninstalled Windows Live.
    Message was edited by: Rodieck to add additional information.

    I've found the problem, and it had noting to do with Flash.  All the problems were caused by me: somehow (and for some unknown reason) I had my security software set to block "Firefox Plugin Container" which was needed to run the Flash player.  Unblocking this also fixed my Firefox uploading program.
    Thanks for your reponse, though, helpful person whose name I cannot read :^) You started me learning more about video players, and that finally caused me to stumble across the right answer.

    Yeah, this forum was really having troubles.  I checked the site when I got the email notifications, but the last few posts (including solution) were missing, and I didn't catch it cause there were new posts from the previous time I had checked.
    I am excited to try this, but it will be a while before I can as I was helping my sister fix her laptop, and after days of trying to resolve this, I finally had to give it back to her.  I will fix it next time we get together, until then she's going to have to do without flash in IE. 

  • Flash player not working with Firefox 5

    Hi all:
    I have been having problems with my Firefox 5 (also was happening with 4) and the Flash Player (newest and previous versions also). Basically, whenever I open a page with flash content, Firefox gets frozen and "not responding" appears on the top bar.After some time, it comes back
    I've tried reinstalling Firefox and Flash Player (also formatting laptop - Windows 7) and this is still happening.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    W.

    You might as well stop wasting your time. The problem seems to be centered around FireFox (since Adobe Flash seems to work fine with IE and Chrome).  After FireFox begin running Flash as a separate process, it no longer retains preset volume settings for Flash, instead, each new FireFox window resets it to max volume. As a result, several times I've had my ears blasted (this can lead to hearing loss and/or damaged audio equipment). This only happens with newer versions of Flash. Consequently, I no longer use the latest versions in FireFox. I'm thinking about totally dropping FireFox and moving completely to Chrome. Looks like neither Adobe or FireFox are gonna budge to fix the problem.

  • Flash Player not working on Firefox, playing everything low quality on Chrome

    Running Windows 7 64-bit
    I was using Firefox and starting to watch a video on YouTube, and set it to 720p fullscreen. However, I noticed that the video was oddly low quality for 720p, and then I looked at the YouTube player bar and saw that even that was fuzzy and low quality. I tried to update to the latest version of Flash Player - the first time I got an error, but it seemed to install fine afterwards. I started up Firefox again and nothing using flash was working. Websites told me to install Flash Player. I am aware that this is a known issue, but I tried using Chrome instead and Flash Player worked just fine on that, except it was still low quality. I can't seem to find an option to change to high quality, and it still isn't working on Firefox. Any help would be appreciated.

  • IE10 - flash player not loaded

    Hi
    I have a Acer Aspire E1-522 64 bit laptop running windows 8 with  Internet explorer 19 version 10.0.9200.16921 with up to date updates.
    So the latest security patch was updated yesterday and several of my favourite websites are no longer allowing me to see content with the general error being "Error loading player, No playable sources found".
    Having seen that a few times today I visited the Adobe help page and checked the Active X controls and the check Shockwave flash object is enabled. Yes the Active X is NOT selected and the status of the flash object is listed as..... Enabled, publisher unknown, for 32 bit and 64 bit, updated 31 may 2014.....
    Next thing is the flash player test doesn't work and instead says Flash player disabled OR Active x is on. Now of course I have checked that as seen above and when I visit the download page it simply says you don't need to download because the flash player is included in IE 8.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    If ads are breaking your content, then this sounds like antivirus/firewall/adblocking software is the culprit.  I'd start by resetting your hosts file:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034
    Then reboot your system into safe mode with networking enabled and try again.  If it works and you're able to get past the ads, then a third party utility/service is to blame.  I've done minimal testing against IE 10 on Win 7, but I have played a few YouTube files without any problems.
    Thanks,
    Chris
