Why doesn't Firefox run an adobe flash player slide show (no arrows to move to next/previous slide), but internet explore does?

When I try to run a slide show in Firefox, the first slide displays but the arrows to move to next/previous slide do not appear. When I try in Internet Explorer, the arrows appear. Flash Player is enabled in Firefox. There must be another setting I need to adjust. I am running Windows 7. I don't see how to access Tools menu item in Firefox. I don't see where I can check my Firefox version. It is the current version as is Flash Player.

On My web site the adobe flash player replaced with a white box "need to install adobe flash player and Java script" both installed. My web site fine using Internet Explorer and Chrome.

I've updated to Firefox ver 5.

The FlashPlayer plugin used for Firefox is entirely separate from the one that Internet Explorer uses. You system details do not show Flash Player is installed.
With flash player installed and enabled if you go to the Adobe website it will check that FlashPlayer works, also you will be able to download and install from there if necessary. The site page also has links to troubleshooting information. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Javascript is not the same as Java. Javascript, which is what you need enabled at present is a feature of the firefox browser that needs enabling in order for it to handle the javscript files.
* use '''Firefox button -> Options ->| Content| -> [] Enable Javascript'''
* see [[Javascript]]

How do I close firefox to install Adobe Flash Player

How do I Close Firefox to install Adobe Flash Player?

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#Direct link ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''': http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

I am sick and tired of Firefox crashing from Adobe Flash player. All support statements say to reinstall and that doesnt solve the problem!

I am sick and tired of your Firefox not supporting Adobe Flash player. Windows explorer no problem it works fine. All of your support statements tell me to reinstall and I've tried that more than once and nothing improves! It is slowing up my computer, and I have a windows folder with 4.8Mb of auto generated crash messages!

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
* see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
'''https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration'''
* disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
'''https://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround'''
* disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail, but Internet Explorer Does

Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail - any email, but Internet Explorer does.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== The past few days, not exactly sure when, but recently.

Hello John.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Why doesn't the Adobe Flash Player plugin show in Firefox's "Plugins" window under Mavericks 10.9.3?

My specs are:
Mavericks 10.9.4
Firefox 30.0
Flash Player Plugin 14.0.0.125
The plugin is visually verified to be properly installed in the "Internet Plug-Ins" folder in the main library, and not the user library.

Hello all,
My doubt was correct. It was all due to the blank device list. After lot of struggle I found this solution worked for me:
1. As soon as the plug-in tries to access webcam, it will show you "Adobe Flash Player Settings" box
2. Click Deny then Close to close it
3. Now press tab key on keyboard. It will highlight (in yellow) and show list of devices in video device dropdown control (This could be little bit tricky and you need to put little bit more efforts to see the list). You can now select your webcam as device here.
4. Press Tab key again to go audio dropdown and select audio device.
5. Then right click and bring up "Adobe Flash Player Settings" again.
6. Under Microphone and Camera tabs, make sure we select same devices we selected in 3 & 4 above
7. Come back to privacy tab and this time chose "Allow" and then close "Adobe Flash Player Settings" box
8. You should now see the camera images in the plug-in
Conclusion: This is a workaround worked for me. Plug-in is quite unstable and there is definitely something here Adobe Flash Player plug-in developers need to do about.
Hope this workaround helps many other users.
Thanks,
Struggler

Firefox 6 doesn't recognise my latest Adobe flash player. It works with IE so I gather its a Firefox only issue.

Woke up to find my Firefox was updated automatically to Ver 6+.
The usual issues arose, with a few plugins not working. The annoying one is the Adobe flash player.
I downloaded the latest Flash player and installed Ver 10, however non of my webpages pick up on this. Any Flash content I wish to view (from a webpage) tells me to install the latest Flash player. Have done so 3 times to no avail? Any ideas?
NB: Switched on IE and flash worked fine on same websites.

IE uses a different version of Flash (ActiveX), than most other browsers use - the Plugin version, which is what Firefox needs.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

Why I have to install different adobe flash player

use two browsers, one Maxthon Browser, the other firefox. The Maxthon is used to viewing domestic webs, the latter foreign webs. I intsalled an adobe flash player. When I use Maxthon, it works well. but then I turn to Firefox, I just cannot open the flash on my jersey web, saying unavailable. Someone told me that I have to install another adobe flash player for Firefox. I did as told. and finally it works. but why I have to install different players for different browsers, how can I use just one that works both for Maxthon and Firefox or other browsers.

I'd never heard of Maxthon before, but after reviewing their site it looks like it's based on Internet Explorer. If that's the case, IE uses ActiveX technology, while all other browsers are plug-in based. Flash Player has two versions, one for IE (ActiveX) and another for all other browsers (Firefox, Opera, Chrome, etc.)

Running without Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task

I'm trying to understand how to avoid installing Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task.
I am also unable to remove the Scheduled Task using a script that works on other tasks, on the same workstations.
Is there an mms.cfg setting that will instruct the installer to skip the Task?
1) Uninstall the Scheduled Task from all workstations in my environment.
2) Install future updates without the Scheduled Task.
I have already tried mm.cfg with these lines:
AutoUpdateDisable=1
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
It still runs the update process every hour.
I have explained that it hasn't been causing a problem, but running this many processes on so many computers for no reason is causing some concern.
My organization also does not allow big bang automation included with this product.
Has anyone managed to shut off the Updater process from running?
Thank you

Hi Ethan,
try creating an MST file, with Fx, Wise package studio...
Edit the CustomAction “NewCustomAction1” added the parameter “-au 2” to the Command line argument.
you should do that for both:
install_flash_player_11_active_x.msi
and
install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi
If you are using both of them..
Or you can delete the scheduled task with schtask /delete "taskname"

Hello, are you using IE 8? Another person I have been trying to help described the manage add ons in the same way. I use IE6, so probably a little difference in the versions.
Well, then go to Tools>Internet Explorer>Settings>View Objects and see if you can find Shockwave Flash in the listings of Add ons. If you find it RIGHT click on it and a small window opens, click on Update, wait until finished, close windows, browsers and Reboot. See if this
makes a difference.
Did you go to this link www.adobe.com/software/flash/about and did Adobe confirm you have F.P. installed and show what version you have?
That site is what I used and was confirmed by Adobe that I have F.P. 10 Active X the latest version.
You didn't say, but What OS are you running and browser?
Thanks

Why is Youtube not recognizing my Adobe Flash Player Add-On?

I just did the auto update so that Firefox 17.0 was installed. Anyway, for whatever reason, Youtube only seems to notice that my Adobe Flash Player add-on exists when it wants to. At the moment, it's not recognizing it, so I can't play videos. I've had to close out my current sessions of Firefox to get it to recognize the Flash Player, and then even then it's a crap shoot. What is going on? How can I fix this? Flash is one of the most basic programs needed in an internet browser, these days.

Yes, this worked. And, I didn't even have to close Firefox to get it to work.

How to close firefox to download adobe flash player

I installed firefox + adobe flash player won't install til I close firefox. How do I close??

If you have the main firefox window use File > Exit or Firefox button > Exit,
which is the proper way to close Firefox.
Whether you could do the above or not, next
# Bring up the Windows Task Manager ("Ctrl+Alt+Del")
# In the "Processes" tab right click on firefox.exe and use "End process tree"
 Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

Just updated Firefox, then updated Adobe Flash player and videos and voice are all choppy. Please help.

I allowed Firefox to update. It prompted that I may need to update my adobe player. I checked my aol account and tryed to watch a video and it would not work. I updated my Adobe flash player, shut down my pc then went back online to check out a video and it was all choppy including the audio.

Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player
