10.6.2 - Uninstalled Flash Player Plugin now Safari runs Great!!!

After my update to 10.6.2 Safari was unusable. So I used the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller found here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Now Safari runs Great.
I'm going to leave it like that for a while to see if I am going to miss Flash.

Flash on OSX is terrible.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CC won't start if flash player plugin is installed

    Few days ago I installed windows 8.1 pro on a brand new PC and I was having problem starting AME, clicking on icon simply doesn't sort any effect, the software didn't open. I tried starting it as administrator, deleting \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\, reinstalling any CC program and even using AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool didn't solve the problem.
    At the same time, I was having problem with flash player and firefox; it was just crashing at start, for example at the beginning of a youtube video. Even reinstalling the plugin or firefox itself won't resolve the issue. I resolved by disabling protected mode on flash and after that, the plugin works perfectly in firefox.
    Going back to the AME problem, after a few tries, I managed to resolve it by doing this:
    - uninstall Premiere pro and relative AME
    - uninstall Creative Cloud app
    - uninstall flash player plugin
    - run AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool and clearing ALL the stuff
    - install CC app
    - install PP and relative AME
    - NOT INSTALLING flash player plugin for firefox
    Only by doing this, AME starts without any problem. Even after a couple of reboots, it starts nicely.
    After that, I tried to reinstall flash player plugin for firefox. Just after install, with firefox still closed, i disabled the protected mode to avoid any crashes. And by this point, AME won't start anymore. By just installing the flash player plugin (without even let it crash once) AME doesn't start. The only thing that worked was to uninstall everything again, use the cleaner tool, reinstall CC and leaving firefox without the flash plugin. At this point AME starts without any problem. I tried again to reinstall flash plugin and voilà, again AME simply can't start.
    What should i do to fix this? It sounds so stupid that i have to choose between flash plugin or AME, why they can't live togheter on my system? Maybe i just have to wait for an update (for firefox or flash) and see if it changes anything?
    Here are some specs of my system, if it helps:
    winows 8.1 pro x64 updated
    16gb ram
    Intel i7 3820
    GeForce GTX 670
    latest version of flash, CC and firefox
    no plugins installed for any CC software
    flash on internet explorer works well

    I finally find out how to fix this.
    With flash plugin installed and protected mode disabled, I also disabled hardware acceleration in flash plugin options. So I re-enabled protected mode and the plugin worked fine.
    After that, I uninstalled everything from adobe, used cleaner tool and than reinstalled all the stuff. Now AME works fine.
    Hope this fix will help someone.

  • I have Firefox 4.0.1, operating on XP. Have downloaded flash player plugin 10,3,181,26, but it crashes immediately whenever I play BBC video clips. Have uninstalled and downloaded several times. Any help welcomed. (IE works fine).

    Uninstalling and reloading the flash player plugin has not solved the problem. As soon as I "click to play" the video begins then Flash Player crashes

    Hi X-Calibar, thanks for your comments. Yes, there are 4 zones under Internet Options and security settings. IE9 from what I have read has more security features than IE7/IE8 had. It appears this Server verification involves status of the Certificate that the website has as well as the Server that is using it. From what I've read on the IE9 sites, Microsoft states that if any HTTP sites are in the Trusted Zone, that the Server Verification is to be UNchecked.
    When you go to add a site to the Trusted Sites zone, it by default only accepts HTTPS sites.
    I would think that would only be if you had the SV box checked, that's what I find with IE8.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Search?q=what+is+server+verification+in+IE&prd =Windows7
    I think you and I may be saying the same thing, just in a different way:-) Not using IE9, I don't know how all of the new features work. My concern is mainly limited to any feature that conflicts or effects Flash Player. Just as the ActiveX Filtering. That certainly effects Flash Player, so that is on my radar:-)
    Hopefully, Chris Campbell will clarify some of this:-)
    Thanks,

  • I had my Macbook 15" retina from over a week now, Having an issue after uninstalling Flash player

I don't want to use flash player because it drains battery down swiftly. How can i delete all the flash player settings that is the reason behind why i cant play videos using h.264.
    thanks in advance

    Hello, and welcome to Apple Support!
    You will need Flash to watch this video. you can download it HERE once you install it you will be able to view this video. There is no alternative to Flash that I am aware of.
    One question: Could you view this video before you attempted to uninstall Flash?

  • While trying to fix a blocked plug-in problem, I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player and now cannot reinstall.  Help!! Please.

    I am trying to fix a blocked plug-in.  I unstalled Adobe Flash Player and now cannot re install.  Any help would be appreciated.

    More info. Why can't you reinstall? Something is preventing reinstalling? If so what? What occurs when you try?
    Or you don't know how to reinstall?

  • Firefox adobe flash player plugin continues to crash, how do i fix this?

    with each update from adobe and from Firefox, flash player becomes more unstable. the last time it was stable was when adobe was still in 10th version but once it reach 11th version it became unstable. i have did everything the tread has offer to do from updating to the latest flash player and updating Firefox. uninstall Firefox and uninstall flash player and then reinstalling it. I have reset Firefox to its default settings. i keep my system clean of cookies and other things using CC cleaner and disk cleanup. i have the fast internet service provider and i have disable my antivirus software to make sure it was not interfering. i have tried safe mode. and have disable video accelerator as well. to no prevail. i know this has to be a flaw in the update. when it crashes a box appears saying a "script as stop working or is busy would you like to continue or stop plugin" of course i stop it because it will just freeze the computer if i don't. this occurs on a daily basics now. it would also appear that it slows down my internet speed while the process is running as evident of when it crashes my internet moves extremely faster than normal. i love Firefox and do not wont to switch. i know i can not return to internet explorer its terrible unstable and prone to virus but now Firefox is acting up. is their a add on or something to fix this issue that's been troubling users for the last 2 years. i have windows 7 home premium 64 bit computer. i have gone as far as performing a factory restore.

    I have been chasing my tail with this problem for several years. Perhaps it is a problem common to Window 7 / 64 bit. At any rate you'd think that both Adobe and the Firefox developers could find a solution.
    I'll try the above fix but if no solution is forthcoming I will be changing back to IE. After all the very reason I came to the Firefox browser was that IE was at the time not up to the challenge. It looks like the tables are now reversed.

  • I can't play my games on Facebook.Adobe Flash player plugin Crashed keeps coming up.I have updated adobe,did not help.

    I cant play my games (FarmVille FrontierVille) On Facebook,Adobe Flash player plugin crashed keeps coming up.I have updated to the newest file.No good.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://Facebook.com

    I am having this same problem. Before the updates, the Adobe Flash player NEVER crashed in Firefox (it did in Google Chrome all the time) and now it's crashing in all my favorite games....Farmville, Frontierville, Yoville, and Treasure Isle. It doesn't seem to be effecting the less-detailed Zynga games, such as Mafia Wars or Vampire Wars; and I can go into more detailed games that aren't Zynga and they seem to work fine too. I am not 100% sure what exactly the problem is, or who is causing it because I had a Firefox update, and then an Adobe update to the 10.1 beta. So I'm not sure if it's one or the other, or both of them put together.
    I have uninstalled/reinstalled the flash player so many times my mind is numb, and even tried to find the one I had prior to this new 10.1 and nothing has worked. I even did what that link Chris posted to do, and I thought it had worked at first...I actually got to go into my Farmville and Treasure Isle for a little bit, then it turned around and crashed again.
    This is literally driving me crazy trying to figure it all out.....and it upsets me that everything was fine one day, then after some updates, everything is messed up. And it's just my luck that it effected some of the games I like to play the most.

  • Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player Plugin

    Windows 7 64bit / IE8
    I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player Plugin thinking they would be reinstalled together when I installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
    Now I only see the entry for Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX 10.2.159.1 listed in - Uninstall or change a program.
    I was wondering how to get the Adobe Flash Player Plugin?
    Thanks.

    These are the files listed in the folder.
    Flash10p.ocx
    FlashInstall.log
    FlashUtil10p_ActiveX.dll
    FlashUtil10p_AciveX.exe
    I originally uninstalled Flash Player 10 ActiveX and the Flash Player Plugin
    thinking they would both be reinstalled with the newer version. When I installed
    the newer version of Flash Player 10 ActiveX I noticed the Plugin was missing
    and wondered what happened to it. I didn't know it needed to be downloaded
    seperatly and I also didn't know what it was for exactly. As it is right now
    everything works and since I'm not using any other browser - downloading
    the Plugin isn't required. At least now I have an idea what the Plugin it was
    intended for and know it's not needed.
    Thank You.

  • Need Detailed description of the differences between Adobe Flash Player Plugin and Shockwave Flash

    For many years now I have been in a quandry over Adobe Flash (plugin) and Shockwave flash. The quandry is also somewhat exacerbated by the variety of subsetted versions supplied for each.
    You know, it is sorta like the name and namespace dilemna provided by Adobe's continuing use of "Macromedia" when sometimes referring to, or distributing, their products... eg still creating Macromedia folders during installs. 
    I have been told that Shockwave Flash actually contains the Flash plugins. If that is the case should I be upgrading to a newer Shockwave Flash version if  Adobe announces or (as recently occurred) denounces
    a newer version of Adobe Flash.
    Will you please provide me with details for, and distinctions between, these two products?
    Hoping you can respond in a flash ... er... two flashes.
    Thanks     

    OK Thanks I silly-goofed in describing what I meant in my initial post. I needed to say what's the diff between Adobe Flash (=Shockwave Flash) (plugin) and Adobe Shockwave Player. 
    So will you please detail the differences between Adobe Flash (=Shockwave Flash) and Shockwave Player?
    I have been told that Shockwave Player actually contains the Adobe Flash (=Shockwave Flash) plugins. Is it both
    Flash Player ActiveX control for Internet Explorer
    Flash Player plugin for all other browsers
    that are contained therein?
    If the above is indeed the case, should I be upgrading to a newer Shockwave Player version if  Adobe announces or (as recently occurred) denounces a newer version of Adobe Flash (=Shockwave Flash) .
    Here's where I am headed will all this:
    I have been asked by one of your coworkers Chris Campbell,  to prepare an Adobe Bug report and paste back to the Adobe Forum thread:

  • 10.8.1:Does the Adobe Flash Player Plugin still disable "Dictation"?

    This happened for me with 10.8. I had to uninstall the Flash Player Plugin in order to use the "Dictation" feature. With 10.8.1, can I install the Flash Player Plugin and still have Dictation work? Are there any other problems with the Flash Player Plugin and OS 10.8.1?

    Well, when I phoned Apple, I talked to a computer that couldn't understand what I wanted and eventually passed me on to someone. That person centered on the hardware, thinking that the whole computer needed to be replaced. I got absolutely no help. Finally, I just ended the call. It was going no place.
    Uh, it seems that they are just letting anyone answer the phone now at Apple. I think Apple is putting all of its efforts into the iPhone5. They're leaving us desktop users behind. I think they've decided there's more money in mobile computing.

  • Can I use Flash Player plugin version 11.2.202.228 with my Firefox ESR 10.0.7 instead of the most current Flash Player plugin?

    I am trying the Tor web browser software pack and it comes with Firefox ESR 10.0.7.
    Right now, I'm trying to install a Flash Player plugin because it doesn't have one in this Firefox ESR 10.0.7 already, or this browser just doesn't see the slightly older Flash Player 11.2.202.228 plugin that I already have already installed on this machine.
    '''Is there a way to make this Firefox ESR 10.0.7 browser see the Flash Player plugin 11.2.202.228 that I already have installed on this machine without installing the newest, possibly problematic Flash Player plugin?'''
    I already have the Flash Player 11.2.202.228 plugin installed on this machine, a PC with Windows 7 ULT, because the most current versions of the Flash Player plugin had some problems and they wouldn't allow Flash content to play at all, so I reverted back to a slightly older version of the Flash Player that was reliable, crash free, and most importantly, it works.
    But when I try to play any Flash content in this Tor-Firefox ESR 10.0.7 browser it tells me I don't have a Flash Player on this machine, or installed as a browser plugin or add-on, and it wants me to install the most current Flash Player on this machine, which I DO NOT want to do for the reasons I stated above.
    My other Firefox browser, along with Google's newest Chrome browser and a newer version of the Safari browser for Windows, plus an older Internet Explorer 8, all WORK JUST FINE with the Flash Player 11.2.202.228 that I have installed on this computer and Google Chrome and Safari didn't even require having newer Flash Player plugins installed at all... they just see the Flash Player 11.2.202.228 plugin that I already have on this machine and they play all Flash content perfectly.
    So can I just make this Tor-Firefox ESR 10.0.7 browser see the existing Flash Player 11.2.202.228 plugin that I already have on this machine?... and if so, how do I do that?
    Thanks for any help.
    Also, I'm not able to find an actual community help forum for Tor, even via their "Torproject.org" website... is there one?
    Thanks,

    You should actually be using Flash 10.3 (11.2 is insecure).[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox#w_solution-2-downgrade-flash|Solution 2: Downgrade Flash]].
    Also, is there a reason you are using Firefox ESR? It's mean for organizations, and doesn't include all the security and stability fixes that Firefox latest (15.0.1) has.

  • 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:

  • After installing Adobe Flash Player Plugin to view videos on youtube, mozilla gets hangs intermittently. Please help

    This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common reasons for Flash problems in Firefox:
    (1) Make sure all recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
    (2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    (B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    (3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)

  • Unable to download Flash Player Plugin 11.7.700.224

    Cannot play games due to inability to update Flash Player Plugin in Firefox. Firefox notes that I need to update, but will not let me do it. Every time I click "Update Now" or type "unable to update Adobe Flash Player Plugin 11.7.700.224", another Firefox screen appears, stating something like "Flash Player 11.6 to 10. blah-blah" has problems and has been blocked by Firefox. I KNOW THIS!! That's why I am trying to update Flash Player Plugin, as Firefox has suggested. As far as I can tell, I have deleted everything having to do with Flash Player...so why am I not able to download the newest version? (I went to Adobe website to make sure everything was deleted, and it showed I had no Flash Player installed.) Am I doing something wrong? I have been trying to download this for quite a while, to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.

  • Need help uninstalling Flash Player to do a clean install.

    Hi,
    I'm feeling pretty stupid now, since I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.
    I'm running Windows 7/ 64 bit. I've got Flash player version 11.1.102.63
    I'm having Spotify problems, and Spotify support asked me to uninstall and reinstall Flash Player before reinstalling Spotify. But I can't seem to get the blessed thing to uninstall.
    I'm following the directions here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    I've killed everything killable on the toolbar. I've checked with Task Manager to see if any applications are running (none are). There are still processes running I've run the uninstaller in Administration mode and in user mode and in every mode I can think of, but when I restart after uninstalling, I've still got the Flash Player installed-- same version. I get no error messages when I run it, it just (apparently) doesn't work.)
    Any ideas? Any stupid mistakes I might be making?
    Thanks!
    Cheryl
