why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
Save it to your Desktop.<br />
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • Why does adobe flash not work correctly in firefox when playing face book games?

    when playing the facebook games the game is not loading correctly when I use Firefox but it does when I use IE. the game screen seems to not fit in the windows correctly.

    Run the Flash Player Uninstaller as applicable for your machine(i.e.Windows or MAC) and remove flash player.

    For Windows : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

  • My windows 7 machine does not recognise .swf files. I have down loaded the flash player but I think.

    My windows 7 machine does not recognise .swf files. I have down loaded the flash player but I think but it is linked as a plug in with chrome and IE.  How can I get my windows to recognise the .swf files to play them.

    The downloaded file is the projector, not an installer; you need to make the file association manually:
    move the downloaded exe file to a location you can remember, e.g. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    right-click on a swf file and select Open with > Choose default program
    navigate to the folder you saved the player and select flashplayer_13_sa.exe

  • HT201412 My iphone's home button is not responding when I press it.  I sometimes have to press it several times before it works or it just doesn't work at all.  Any advise?

    My iphone's home button doesn't always work.  I sometimes have to press it several times to get to my home screen.  Many times this doesn't work and I just give up.  It is happening more frequently now, almost daily and usually lasts all day when it's having a bad day.  I've tried calibrating it and I've also tried a phone reset; neither helped.  Any suggestions?

    Re-Calibrate it. Press the power button until the slide to turn off shows. DO NOT TURN IT OFF. Leave it on the slide to unlock screen and press the home button for about 30 seconds until the slide to turn off screen leaves.

  • Why does Adobe Flash Player block me from using Firefox?

    Every time I try to use Firefox, Adobe Flash Player blocks me from doing so.
    I get continual messages that keep reappearing: """""""Adobe Flash Player 11.5 r502 has stopped working.
    A problem occurred to make the program stop working correctly. Windows has closed... etc. """""""
    This message just keeps re-appearing, and I can't do anything else by close out of it........
    and then switch to another browser. I CAN'T USE FIREFOX.
    I went in and downloaded the new version, just to make sure it wasn't being blocked by an old version,
    but that didn't matter at all. It still blocks me out.
    HELP!!!!!!! How do I stop this?

    I'm sorry you're going through this.  I suspect you're running into a conflict with our Protected Mode which was introduced in Flash Player 11.4.  Please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
    How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
    In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.  If it does, please re-enable it and give our latest Flash Player 11.6 beta a shot.  You can download it here:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html

  • Why does adobe flash player want to download on every website I try to go to?

    After signingin to my website, and trying to go to another thru a visual tag, I get a message from adobe to doenload the flash player. Isn't once enough?? Can't the programmers send a tag to see if it has already downloaded the flash player??
    I'm just an old fart, but they should get their heads out of the sand and put a tag into the add on tag to see if the flash player has already been downloaded. If so, continue with the site downlosd.
    This crap just makes it harder to access websites.

    That would be 11.
    There are Windows 8 troubleshooting tips here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.h tml
    But the problem is more likely IE11 itself. Aside from Vista, it's just about the worst garbage Microsoft has unleashed on the computing public, ever. They intentionally altered the "User-Agent Strings", which websites use to identify the browser and provide the proper content for it. Some sites ID it as a Gecko browser (Firefox), while others ID it as a Webkit browser (Opera or Safari). Problem is... when the site ID's it as either of those, the browser specific content supplied REQUIRES the correct browser engine... which IE doesn't have and never will. So, it then becomes an "unrecognized browser". The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon. In fact, since they though this was a great idea, I seriously doubt they'll change it at all.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using a different browser. Trouble with that is... it's seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Why does Adobe Flash Player 11.9 keep installing over and over on Windows Internet Explorer?

    I am having a problem with Adobe Flash Player 11.9. When I visit a site that uses Adobe Flash Player (i.e. NBC News.com) the system keeps asking me to install Adobe Flash Player 11.9. However, Adobe Flash Player 11.9 is ALREADY installed on my system and is working fine. Each time I try to re-install Adobe Flash Player, it doesn't do anything except go through the installation process. Tell me how to stop the notifications.

    You've probably got cached files that keep sending outdated info to pages you visit.
    Download this file: Deep Clean.zip
    Close IE. Check your task manager to be sure the iexplore.exe process is terminated.
    Unzip the file.
    Double click the deepclean_set.bat file.
    A command prompt window will open and your Disk Cleanup settings manager will open too.
    Check EVERY box in the list and click OK.
    Then double click the deepclean_run.bat file.
    Again, a comman prompt window will open, and your Disk Cleanup will run, clearing many more files than the standard cleanup does. It WILL take a while to cleanup.
    When it finishes, you can delete the deepclean_set.bat file as you won't need it again, but keep the deepclean_run.bat as it can be used to "deep clean" your disk whenever you need it. Save it in your documents folder.
    Afterward, open IE again and go back to NBC. You shouldn't see any prompt to upgrade anymore.
