[SOLVED] Flashplugin Does Not Work With Firefox.

Hi, all.
Happy to have just installed Arch, after not using it for a while. It's looking as good as ever, but I can't get Flash to work.
I installed Gnash and some things work, but not many. Wanting to be able to use a full Flash implementation, I installed the Flashplugin on my 32-bit box.
When I go to the Adobe test page, I don't see any Flash. When I go to YouTube and similar, I just get a black 'box'. When I visit websites with Flash effects, these do not work and I am told I need a plugin.
When I look at Firefox's 'about:plugins' page, Flash is associated with swf files, so that looks ok.
Can anyone help me with this? If I can get it sorted, my main box may well be having an Arch install, today.
Fingers crossed.
Cheers,
Chris.

From the Arch wiki:
"Troubleshooting
If you have Abobe Flash installed on an older system and you start playing a video which simply turns black with nothing happeing, it is most likely that your CPU does not support ISSE2. You can simply check out this by looking at your CPU flags with this command:
# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags
If sse2 is not mentioned there, then you need to install an older version of Flash (for example 10.3). "
I only have SSE, not ISSE2, so I think that may be why. I have partial success with Gnash, so will stick with that for now. At least it's open source.
Thanks for your help, all.
Chris.

  • Norton 360 premier is not compatible and the identity safe does not work with firefox 4 it worked with earlier version. If there is a solution great otherwise I am going back to IE.

    All my passwords are Norton identity safe protected. If firefox4 does not work with it I am forced to go back to IE. Previous versions had a patch. I only realized the problem after downloading the new update. I wish I never had.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • My printer does not work with firefox but does work with explorer

    What printer? Does the page appear correctly in Print Preview? What happens when you try to print?

  • Flash does not work with Firefox following Windows Vista update 14/5/2014.

    Flash still works with IE9. I've carried out all steps in http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html, i.e. twice updated Flash to V13.0.0.214 (previously V13.0.0.206), activated Firefox Flash add-on, deleted browser data and cache and disabled hardware acceleration. Nothing fixes it! Vista SP2, Firefox 29.0.1.

    Apologies for vague "does not work" from me - and sorry for delay replying. What I understand to be "rich media content" did not display. For example, all text and images in this screen clip from www.metoffice.gov.uk appeared as a single blank grey rectangle. In other websites links displayed in a basic underlined font instead of rich formatted text/images, or video and audio links were completely missing from an otherwise fully rendered webpage.
    However in the last hour Firefox has starting behaving properly again without any further diagnostic efforts from me! For six days some graphics and links have not displayed in Firefox, yet IE9 has behaved perfectly. This has happened a few times before, normal service being restored (in hours rather than days) either by updating the Flash plug-in or for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts in case of future re-occurrences would be appreciated. Thanks Pat for your time and help.

  • Battlelog (for battlefield 3) does not work with Firefox 15.0.1. It works fine with the older Firefox 14.0.1

    The flash features on the Battlefield 3 site - battlelog.battlefield.com do not work when Firefox updates itself to 15.0.1 It does not load the pages correctly or does it let you select/ click on anything in the flash parts. When I uninstalled 15.0.1 and reinstalled Firefox 14.0.1 I unchecked the option to let firefox re-upgrade itself and battlelog works fine.

    I do not wish you to break Firefox on Battelfield 3, but have you tried using the latest version of Flash Player. You should also remember that using outdated versions of Firefox increases security risks to your computer and personal data.
    You may get an answer to this sort of question faster by asking on a forum related to that game site, (and if you do please post back with the solution preferably with a link).
    Possibly you could consider using Firefox 15 and later as the day to day browser, and Firefox 14 only for the problem games.
    *The simplest way to do that may be to install Firefox portable (I assume that will run a Firefox 14 version)
    * A better way would be to install multiple versions of Firefox. That is often considered advanced, but I imagine most experienced computer users could do it easily (I can provide links to instructions). That has the advantage that the problem could be looked at a bit more closely, possibly even filing a bug if it appears to be a Firefox regression causing the problem.

  • I have a website that I am building. Transferring word docs to the site by copy/paste does not work with firefox.Why?

    I am trying to complete my website data entry with fire fox since the security of internet explorer is questionable. I am having no success in transferring written or graphic documents from Fire Fox to my website.

    I assume this is a sitebuilder tool. Could you mention which sitebuilder it is?
    Is the problem that a paste button provided by the sitebuilder does nothing when you click it? This could be related to a Firefox security feature that bars sites from reading your Windows clipboard. Or it could just be broken. If it's a sitebuilder button, I could look into past threads for possible solutions/workarounds.
    For pasting text, instead of using a button provided by the sitebuilder, can you use one of the Windows shortcuts?
    * Ctrl+v
    * right-click > Paste
    * Edit menu > Paste ''(if you use the classic menu bar)''
    That might not work with images...
    Finally, I will say that Internet Explorer 11 is a pretty solid product. If you need to use it for your website builder tool because it only works well in IE, I don't think you are taking a lot of security risk there. Just don't stray over to random sites you don't trust.

  • When I right click on an Item to copy and pasdte it the Copyt button on my mouse does not work with firefox, it works everywhere else...I highlight an item andt

    I have tried all the solutions so far. they did not change the outcome. My right mouse will not show the copy command. I am getting the drop down menu when I right click and I can highlight words but when I right click to copy and paste the copy does not work... it was working fine until I did the last update for foxfire.. I have 22.0 version

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    <b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
    *You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    *''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

  • Why my key scrambler 2.7.0 does not work with firefox 4.0?

    My plug-in Key scrambler 2.7.0 used to work with your firefox 3.6.16 but it doesn't work with firefox 4.0?

    S o l u t i o n : Just go to their site qfxsoftware.com (as seen in firefox "Add-ons" "Keyscrambler" "More".
    Their at "Download" get the Free Download Version for free, or Download the Pro or Premium Version (not free).
    KeyScrambler_Setup.exe has actual 1.164KB
    Install and voila, you have Version 2.7.1.0 and it works with Firefox 4.0 !!
    AGAIN, this nice Ad-on hasnt updated itself via the Firefox Browser, like it didn't when the last Firefox Version was new!
    Why? I think KeyScrambler is one of the most important Add-ons for my Browser, beside the Add-on "NoScript".
    Also when you search for "Key-Scrambler" via the Browser-Add-on-Search you cant find this Add-on anymore!!
    Maybe our Goverments didnt like it? ;)
    Think twice . . .

  • HP ProtectTools password auto fill in does not work with Firefox 4

    My HP Compaq 6715b has a credential manager called ProtectTools that stores user name and password for favorite websites and auto fills the information when the website is opened up. This worked fine with Firefox 3.x.x but since I upgraded to Firefox 4 it is no longer "syncing". I have checked the program and I am "logged in" which is what is necessary to activate this program. I have tried logging off and then back on without any results. I have tried to go back to the 3.x.x version of Firefox and cannot do that either. Technical support for my computer no longer is available from HP due to it's age (2007). Does anyone know if Firefox 4 and ProtecTools is compatible? What do I need to do to get these two "communicating" again?

    I think I solved the problem. I have CCleaner software and had the clean cookies checked. After unchecking the box and restarting, the auto login works fine. So if anyone has a cleaner program or anti-virus program with clean cookies enabled, auto login for google or yahoo will not work.

    Yep, I understand...
    This is the final news I needed to get to complete my answer... I confronted myself the italian store and the US one and in the US one I didn't find this product...
    As for the NI software, was so good that I just bought back my good "old" iMac G5 and will exchange it with this my Intel Mac. The G5 2 Ghz was good, performing as this new Intel (at times I even got the impression was more performing, but I believe is just an impression) and surely didn't have so many 3rd parties problems.
    Meanwhile I filled every forum of NI and USB with my questions about the compatibility... and maybe I will be back to an Intel Mac when all would be OK, I'm not in a hurry!
    By the way I had a listen to your work: GREAT!
    You may hear a sketch version of something we did work on with the NI piano and choir sounds, while the alto sax is played live and the other instruments are from Apple or real keys (yes, we mix a lot of things):
    http://www.garageband.com/song?
    while here is a track where we did use both the Orchestral sounds of Garageband (and some of it's loops, mixed with some good old programming) together with some NI sound:
    http://www.garageband.com/song?
    We do not often use orchestra if not as here and there (other than in some work as this last one, but is not so frequent). Hope you may like our little works!

  • PDF Add-on does not work with Firefox 14.0.1

    I have not found a PDF add-on that works with 14.0.1. I'm forced to go to IE or Chrome when there is a PDF to be opened.

    If you are not opposed to using the plugin that comes with Adobe Reader X, this article might help: [[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]].
    If you prefer Foxit Reader, it might be that you need to enable the add-on or update it and then enable it.
    To check for disabled add-ons, try here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons
    Check both the Plugins category and the Extensions category for your PDF reader(s). You may find disabled items in a separate set at the bottom of the list.
    To check for add-on updates, use the "gear" icon above the list.
