ADOBE FLASH PLAYER DOES NOT show up on add-ons and even though i install it on my computer it doesn't sync with Firefox to play movies

Vudu requires Adobe Flash Player for movies and gives me an error message saying that I need to update to the newest version and gives a link. When i follow the link and install the newest version I still get the same message. I checked add-ons Firefox and Adobe Flash Player doesn't show up as an available add-on or plug-in. What is the problem?

Your system details list doesn't show that the Shockwave Flash plugin is installed and enabled.
If you have the Shockwave Flash plugin installed then make sure that it is enabled.
*Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins
You can check the version of the current Flash player here:

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

  • Adobe Media Player does not show day 5

    On my computer, the Adobe Media Player does not show day 5. Shows days 1 through 4.
    Also on Day 4, trying to view the video "Create States and How to bind them"
    I get a "corrupt file" error when trying to watch using the Adobe Media Player...
    Also will someone please give a clear statement how to do a download of the files so
    we can watch them off line.  This still isn't clear to me.

  • Adobe flash player does not load statistics on Google Public Data

    Adobe flash player does not load statistics on Google Public Data and displays a white page. However If I put the same URL in an other browser the page loads seamlessly. Is it a Firefox or a Adobe flash player bug ?

    I looked on the Google Public Data site, but couldn't find any Flash videos.
    Can you provide a link where you say the problem is occurring?

  • Adobe flash player does not work on Firefox, but does on Wind Exp

    I have reinstalled Adobe Flash Player many times and also reinstalled Firefox, but flash player does not work. Every tim I try to play something it tells me to install the latest version of flash player. Flash player works fine on on Windows Explorer

    IE uses a different version of Flash (ActiveX) than other browsers use, you need to install the Plugin version of Flash.
    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 = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • Adobe Flash Player does not work with Safari. What can I do?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro, Retina, 15 inch, late 2013,  2 GHz Intel Core i7, using OS X 10.9.4. I have installed Adobe Flash Player. In my System Preference, in the advanced settings, it is set to install updates also tells me that I have the NPAPI Plug-in (version 14.0.0.145) installed but not the PPAPI Plug-in. Is this the reason why it does not work with Safari (keeps telling me to download the app, which I did but still does not work)? Is there any way I could fix the problem? Please, help.
    Thanks.

    If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
    If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Close the window. Then select
               ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
              When visiting other websites
    From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
    b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
              Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Step 6
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
              Flash Player (failing).plugin 
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 7
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 8
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked  
              Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
              Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 9
    Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • Adobe Flash Player does not work in Internet Explorer 10 on Microsoft Windows 8

    I understand that Google Chrome and IE10 have their own automatic update system, however, any site requiring me to use adobe flash player to view videos does not work no matter what I try. I have:
    Used the desktop version of IE versus that Start version and both provide me with the same message.
    Tried uninstalling and then reinstalling but I receive an error message stating that Flash player is already installed and I know that it is not because I have unistalled it. I received this message: Installer encountered an error: 0x80248000
    I even used Ccleaner to hopefully remove any files that were left behind.
    I have gone to Tools, then compatibility settings, unchecked automatic update list from Microsoft. there are no websites on that list t remove.
    I have double-checked that the flash player add-on is enabled.
    I have also checked security settings and enabled Scripting for Java
    I have also made sure that I disabled ActiveXFiltering.
    Basically, I have tried to use Adobe's websites to figure out the issue at the following link: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html#main-pars_header _1
            None of the tips fixed my issue.
    I have Windows 8, recently upgraded from Windows 7. I have a 64-bit machine, when I tried, just in case I was wrong, to install 32-bit, I receive an error. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone may provide. Is there a customer service number by any chance for software we have not paid for but instead it comes with our computers? I really need to be able to use discussions and watch Teachertube, youtube, and other videos to complete grad schools assignments.
    Please help me!

    It sounds like you might have additional software on your system that is interfering with Flash Player.  You mentioned that this is happening for both Chrome and Internet Explorer, correct?  I've got a similar system (Win 8 upgraded from 7, 64bit) and I've never had any problems.
    I'd recommend trying to temporarily disable any security, antivirus, firewall software that you have running.  You might also want to try starting in Safe Mode with Networking enabled (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode) to see if Flash works once all utilities and services have been disabled.
    Finally, do either of these links play video back?

  • Adobe Flash Player has Disappeared from my FF Add-ons & won't reinstall

    Adobe Flash Player has Disappeared from my FF (version 4.0.1) Add-ons & won't reinstall. The Adobe Test page says that I've successfully installed the latest version (10.3.181.34) of Flash Player but after trying this 4 times, Flash just refuses to show up in my add-ons/plug-ins and now some websites are not working correctly. (Using a Win7 Home, 64-bit, SP 1 desktop.)

    Because the are different products and load/use/display different types of files. You either have both installed because you have used websites that need one or the other, or you don't. Don't worry about why they are named the way they are named, that is Adobe's decision. Just accept the facts and go on with your life.

  • Adobe Flash Player does not work

    Suddenly all web sites using Flash Player no longer work showing the error message that I will have to install the latest Flash Player. I followed instructions in help and I used the uninstaller and resinstalled but it still doesn't work on any web site. It is version 12.0.0.77 for Mac using Safari. Strangely, when following Adobe help, at one point a box is displayed that says
    Sorry, Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled.
    Please go to step 2.
    Step 2 was to install which I did. But the error message still appears. For some reason applications cannot detect the presence and version of Flash Player.

    Yes, you will need an antenna as well.  You will probably want to add more memory, you can have up to 2GB (an iSight can take 2.5GB), and depending on the size of the drive, you might want to put a bigger one in as well.
