Adobe Flash + Firefox + Nexus 7 Tablet = Disaster or Rocket science?

Adobe Flash + Firefox browser + Nexus 7 Tablet android
This is next to impossible to get working for me.
Is this even a good idea to search for a solution?
How much time should be allotted to this exercise?

hello, the flash plugin on mobile devices has reached its end of life since adobe has publicly stated they won't work on it any longer: http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/flash-focus.html

Adobe doesn't offer Flash on Android tablets anymore and never offered it on the iPAD.

After updating Adobe Flash, Firefox does not work

I have Windows Vista.
I just recently downloaded Firefox and it had that bar at the top of the internet url saying to update Adobe Flash or that the Adobe Flash plug in doesn't work. So I clicked on that and it took me to the Firefox site with the raccoon, with a list of things I might need to update.
So I updates Adobe Flash to
ActiveX: 11.4.402.278
Plug-In Version: 11.4.402.278
After that Firefox will open to my homepage which is the most visited with thumbnails of websites. But when I choose one, enter a website in the url, or click a favorite it fails to load.
What do I do now?

Thank you so much for responding to my question right away! You really helped me out. I've been so swamped in my school work and job I haven't had time to do anything else. Thanks alot for giving me a fast, straight to the point answer :) my problem is solved!

Adobe flash + firefox + youtube, problem

Hi guys,
im having an annoying time with flasand youtube not playing in firefox...
as soon as i start the clp in the new youtube format, 2-5 seconds into the clip, it stops playing...no way to get it to stream anymore...
the annoyng things is that it doesnt work in internet explorer either, but it works in opera just fine!
i have tried reinstalling both firefox and adobe flash, but no change...youtube still doesnt play in firefox...
any ideas, help pls!
tnx

Hi, thanks for the screenshot. The Flash files for FF has the FlashUtil10a.exe and you need to right click on it and Remove or Delete that. This is a very old version of Flash Player and should have been removed when you used the Uninstaller.
As you can see you have the NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe which shows in your screen shot is the correct version of 10.0.45.2. So their is a conflict as the Control is using the old one.
The FlashPlayer Trust is also old, I see it once in a while, but it is not needed either. Those users that have Removed it have had no ill affect. However, if you prefer to leave it, and after we clean up the other Files and still you are having problems, you can go back in and remove it.
The usual Flash Files for Firefox are: Flash.xpt, NPSWF32.dll, NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe(current version), the install.log and the Uninstall_plug in.exe. Any other files are either old and conflict.
Now the last time I checked Mozilla/Firefox, they require that the DLM/getplus etc be used to Install. They are not needed to Install FP but Firefox requires it, so fine. However, the DLM/getplus/NOS, get_atlcom Class cause problems.
The DLM is a downloader and after downloading is supposed to disconnect, but many times do not. After you Remove/Delete that old Flash file mentioned above, we'll clean up the DLM, et al.
Thanks,

Manufacture - Pre-Installing Adobe Flash into Android Tablet

Hello,
We are a android tablet OEM in which we would like to pre-install Adobe Flash Player into our Android Tablets. Are there any certifications or licensing required to legally import the product in the USA? If so, how do we go about finding more information about obtaining them?
Thank you,

Need help; purchased Flash and now it's doing this... I've seen others with the same problem with no solution or answer! I use a Adesso Cybertablet. Please, PLEASE help!

Can you please try with the latest Flash Professional CC 2014 version 14.2.0.20 released on Feb 18th.

Firefox is hanging after trying to update Adobe Flash. I can't fix it as long as Firefox is open, but I'm unable to close it-menu bar won't even appear.

In the process of updating Adobe Flash, Firefox froze. It registers as being open, and none of the fixes I've tried will work as long as it's open, but I can't close it. Even when I click on the Firefox icon, the Firefox menu bar doesn't appear. No Firefox window appears.

Good advice - I'll keep that in mind. Thanks

Having Adobe Flash Enabled caused Firefox to Hang, and then to "Not Respond".

I Have the Following:
Firefox 19.0
Adobe Flash 11.6.602.171
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit SP1
After I first install a new version of Adobe Flash, everything works perfectly.
If I shut down my computer & start it up again maybe 10 minutes later, I will START having a problem.
I Click on my Firefox Icon.
Then I click on one of my bookmarks, like for Tucson Weather ( at www.weather.com ).
While Tucson Weather is "transferring data' or "waiting" or "connecting" the small blue indicator that spins to indicate that the computer is working to get the requested page loaded freezes & stops spinning.
Now, If I click any where on the page including the scroll bar, the page becomes dim & a very light color, white the cursor resembles an hour glass. This only lasts a minute or so.
If I click on the "X" to close the window, either nothing happens, or I get a message that Firefox is not responding, & do I want Windows to close the page. I have Windows close page.
Next I return to Firefox, disable Adobe Flash, & Firefox now works perfectly - Only Videos at You Tube are mostly not possible. I have had this problem since at least last September.

hello, maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - you could try if [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] makes a difference.

I installed firefox beta on my google nexus 7 tablet i also installed the adobe flash player pluging its working but i have no sound?

no sound on adobe flash 11 plug in, video works but no sound

When doing playback on your device, have you check its volume is the correct? Remember Android has three volume controls you have to check: Multimedia, Notifications and Alarms.
If it is OK, then maybe the issue is on the site. Which site are you visiting? If you are trying to watch videos on Youtube maybe you'd better visit m.youtube.com where you can use tablet's native media player to watch the video.
In my tablet I can't event start Flash. It is installed and browsers detect it but movies just don't play. Flash for mobiles is very unstable.

Adobe flash does not play in Firefox on my tablet under android 3.2. WHY

samsung Tab 10.1 android 3.2 , Ihave installed my preferd browser Firefox.
When i am forced to use the generic android browser adobe flash content plays properly, when using Firefox. adobe flash does not and it asks for a plugin to be installed, to date i have not been able tp locate the flash plugin for firfox in android 3.2. Is there any help for this??

Originally, Firefox Mobile was not going to support binary plugins, just pure web code, but they had a change of heart and plan to add it in the next major release. Not sure whether the following is up to date -- it refers to Firefox 13 Aurora, which may be a beta by now:

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About 2-3 days ago ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; GTB6.5; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; Tablet PC 2.0; .NET4.0C)

I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
Here is a run-down of my process:
0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
Hope this helps.

Adobe flash player 10.2.159 needed for nexus 7

i have a nexus 7 tablet .and to watch a tv show on the tablet it says this content requires adobe flash player 10.2.159 and when i hit download, it says it is not supported on this devise.what do i do?thank you.

Sorry, I could read only the first paragraph you wrote, then my eyes grew very tired and I couldn't continue. It is very hard to read ALL-CAPS postings!
But I understand that you need instructions to reinstall Flash Player; try this
download the FP uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html and save it to disk;
download the FP installer(s) from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html and save it/them to disk - note that there are two different installers, the ActieX for Internet Explorer, and the plugin for all other browsers;
close all browser instances, then run the downloaded uninstaller, followed by the installer(s).
Now go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ - if you can see the Flash animation (rotating red 'F'), then Flash Player is correctly installed and working.

Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223

As far as I can determine, Firefox 33.1 does not load Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 (identified on the Plug-ins list as "Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223") when I access most of the pages on the MSN website. Whether it will display any specific video is unpredictable but it displays about one out of five.
If I place the mouse cursor on the blank black video display area (for which no controls or buttons are displayed), and click the right mouse button, then either (1) the context menu is the same as for clicking the mouse cursor on an empty part of the page, or (2) the context menu is not displayed at all.
Apparently, Firefox has failed to load the plug-in, but does not display any error message. Neither is there any error message displayed by the plug-in.
If you think I am willing to undertake a trial-and-error odyssey through various "do this and see what happens" recommendations in "Knowledge Base" articles and the like, then think again. I don't have the time to make the effort, and I will use Internet Exporer instead. It ought to work with MSN just fine. :-)
Since I did not develop Firefox, this is not my problem to solve. It's your software, not mine, and I didn't make the mistakes, so you fix it.
By the way:
Either Firefox Help does not display the version correctly, or your Troubleshooter doesn't obtain the data correctly. Help says version 33.1 and Troubleshooter says 33.0. YES I KNOW THAT FIREFOX 33.1.1 IS AVAILABLE. SO WHAT?
Troubleshooter also identifies the Shockwave Flash plug-in as "15.0 r0" but the native Add-ons feature identifies it as 15.0.0.223 -- which is the version that Adobe uses.
The last line of the Troubleshooter's "educated guesses" just has "* 5.1.30514.0". I have no idea as to what that refers to and I doubt that anyone else would have one either.
Well, maybe those numbers are good enough for "educated guessers" but in my experience computers do not make "educated guesses" even if software developers do.
Enjoy!

Please refrain from posting scattergun boilerplate suggestions.
Please post specific instructions that will resolve the problem. If you don't know why the problem occurs and how to remedy the problem, then don't bother.
Realize that the problem did not occur with the previous version of Adobe Flash Player, but began after it was updated to 15.0.0.223. So it is is apparently specific to that version, and it may reflect a flaw in Adobe Flash Player. There's no way to actually report it to Adobe. Posting a report in their "user forum" just produces replies like the one that you have posted in reply to my OP, so what is the use?
Evidently you presume that Firefox does not have a bug, that something else doesn't work and you may be right. However, if Firefox does have a bug, then nothing that you have posted will correct it, and experimenting according to your boilerplate will be nothing but a waste of time and effort.
Again, the problem is not that Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.223 does not run, but that it does not run when I attempt to view most of the videos on MSN. It does display videos from YouTube and other websites with an occasional specific exception. If the failure occured on more websites, and with all MSN videos, then maybe your suggestions for investigating it would have more merit.
For what it is worth: the problem occurs in Firefox Safe Mode and without Firefox Safe Mode. Disabling or enabling any extensions or other plug-ins has no effect.
I established that while investigating why Firefox 33.1 started producing crash reports every time that it initially displayed the New Tab page when I visited MSN (Firefox 32 did not do that). I also checked whether the actions that I took to troubleshoot that behavior affected Adobe Flash Player on MSN. They didn't.
Apparently the crash reports occured because Firefox could not find or could not load the "thumbnail" images for website pages that I had previously seen (they are often deleted by ''CCleaner''). The crash reports stopped after I made a couple of changes to the configuration for the ''SandboxIE'' sandbox in which I run Firefox.
Frankly, Firefox "Safe Mode" is something I don't need, because I run Firefox in a ''SandboxIE'' sandbox, which is a much more comprehensive security measure than anything implemented by any specific application. At the moment I don't recall whether Firefox Safe Mode is enabled, although I probaby re-enabled it after disabling it during the crash-report investigation. But it didn't make any difference with regard to Adobe Flash Player in that context, so there's no reason to repeat it.
