Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage dialogue box

An 'Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage' dialogue box has recently began appearing (since upgrading to latest version of FP) whenever I play a vid e.g. on YouTube. It gives a URL (not always the same one) and says it 'is requesting permission to share info on your computer' with two buttons for Allow and Deny. With all the recent concerns about hackers getting in on the back of plug-ins and add-ons such as Flash Player, I've been clicking Deny. Is it safe to 'Allow' and is this part of the Adobe FP software? If its not safe and my computer has been compromised, what can I do to clean my PC? Many thanks.

You can control the way Flash behaves using the Global Settings Manager. The panel you see there are the actual settings on your own machine. Use the menus on the left to load other panels. The Help files explain what each setting does.

  • Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage popup from Mafia Wars on Facebook.

    I play Mafia Wars on Facebook. I use Mac OS 10.6.5, Flash Player 10.1, and Firefox 3.6.8. Some time ago I received a popup from Zynga entitled Adobe Flash Player Settings,  Local Storage asking permission to store info on my harddrive and giving me the option to allow or deny the request. However the popup is stuck; that popup will not go away.
    I have contacted Zynga, followed their instructions, and have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player. all with no success. When I play this game on other computers, including PCs, that popup is not there which leads me to the conclusion that the file is on my Mac hard drive somewhere and has nothing to do with the game itself. Please tell me how to find this file so that I may delete it. It spoils my enjoyment of the game because it limits what I can do in the game.
    Thanks loads.

    Hi, I would go to the Global Settings site here:
    http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.htm l
    I would click on the website that gave you the popup and delete that website. Perhaps this will clear it since it is stuck.
    When you visit that website again, it will problably ask to store info. Be sure to read about the Website Storage Settings Panel and how it works with the Global Storage Settings Panel.
    Thanks,

    P.S. If Flash Player is working, there is no need to Uninstall and Install it again. The games and Facebook will try to always tell you something is wrong with Flash Player. Clearly it was working until their pop up stuck, right?

  • Adobe Flash Player settings : Local Storage Requests

    After my recent update to the current version of Adobe Flash Player, I began getting these pop-ups requesting Local Storage access to my computer.  There is an allow or deny button, but when you chose to deny it, the pop-up just never goes away or continues to come back.  I object to these requests and want these pop-ops to go away. Does anyone have an answer to this problem ? How do you disable this ?

    Use the Flash Player Settings Manager to permanently allow or deny.

  • Adobe Flash Player Settings 'local storage' pop up will not go away

    I didn't see a Flash Player selection that fits, so hope this group is the right one...For the last few weeks when I access a website with a video ability, an Adobe Flash message pops up saying the site wants to place information on my computer.  It offers 'accept' and 'deny'.  If I select 'deny' it just stays and I cannot watch the video.  Please tell me how to make it disappear without being forced to selection 'allow' which I do not want to do.  I'm not a techie, so please give me as simple instruction as you can.many thanks

  • 'Adobe Flash Player Settings Local Storage'

    Keeps popping up on both our PCs (Vista and XP) since the last download.
    I press "Deny" but the dialogue box just sits there, obscuring whatever I'm trying to look at.

  • I get a pop up of "adobe flash player settings" requesting local storage and it will not respond to either deny or accept.  Help please

    I get a pop up of "adobe flash player settings" requesting local storage.  It will not respond to either deny or accept.  Please help.

    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
    Select either one of the radio buttons marked
              Allow sites to save information on this computer
              Block all sites from storing information on this computer
    according to your preference. The usual display of Flash content doesn't require that you allow it to save information. Note also that this setting only affects Flash; it has no effect on web cookies or AutoFill.

  • Adobe Flash Player Settings Problem

    Hi I'm having problems selecting things inside of "Adobe
    Flash Player Settings."
    When ever i right click on a flash instance, say a youtube
    video and select settings, I get no response from box that appears
    no matter where I click. Even when I click close I get no response.
    I have a Mac Book Pro running os 10.4.11
    I have the newest version of Flash Player 10
    I have Java 5
    I have tried this in both Firefox and Safari
    When I created a new account on my computer and opened
    youtube i was able to change settings inside of panel.
    Any help would be wonderful I have googled and searched these
    forums a million times looking for help and have found nothing
    helpful

    TWEAK DISCOVERED for Flash Player 10 to save local settings!!
    I was digging around in:
    ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/bin/fpupdatepl/
    and I discovered:
    Adobe Flash Player.pkg
    If you Right Click (or Control + Click) the Package and then select 'Show Package Contents' this will open a new window.
    Then navigate to:
    Contents/Resources/
    There you will find a file:
    Adobe Flash Player.info
    Open this file with text edit (or your app of choice)
    On about the fourth line from the bottom look for:
    OverwritePermissions NO
    Change this to:
    OverwritePermissions YES
    A NOTE OF CAUTION
    I have not fully tested this change, but did find that after I modified the local settings for the Flash Player, then restarted Safari that the settings remained the same.
    Good Luck!

  • Adobe Flash Player Settings

    When I go to a site that has a video to accompany the story, the Adobe Flash Player Settings window pop up, as depicted in the print screen image below.  See below the image to learn of my problem and question.
    I don't know how to stop this from popping up.  If I hit allow or deny, I can't get rid of the popup.  I'm also getting pages that has ad videos, automatically playing the video, which I don't want to happen.  How can I get rid of the pop up, and stop the video from automatically playing?

    Yep.  Open the Control Panel, find the Flash Player icon and adjust the settings on the Storage tab.

  • How access Adobe Flash Player Settings on Playbook Browser

    How do you gain access to the adobe Flash player settings? For example to select Display or Privacy or Microphone or Camera.
    On desktop it's done with a right click on the flash object on the page and select Settings...
    How do you bring up these settings on the Playbook?

  • Adobe Flash Player Settings window keeps popping up

    Flash Player version 11.7.700.225
    Mac OS 10.6.8 (64 bit)
    Browser  Safari
    When playing news clips I keep getting the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window. And the Allow and Deny buttons don’t work so I can’t get rid of the window without closing the video.
    What can I do to correct this?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    Sorry to hear that.
    The Settings window might pop-up due to insufficient memory allocation, camera/mic adjustments etc.
    Can you please look at this page: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html ?
    Changing the setting might help you.
    With regards,

  • The Adobe Flash Player Settings popup is appearing offscreen in my Flex4 app. How do I stop this?

    Hey guys,
    I have a page with some html content and my Flex app in the bottom left hand corner. At one point,  the Adobe Flash Player Settings popup appears, but I can  only just see the top of it, the rest is off screen towards the bottom. I set the height of the application in  the opening application tag, to 240. The whole app is visible in the  HTML page, but for some reason the background colour of the Flex app  goes past its height and width properties. This is probably causing the  Flash Player Settings popup problems right?
    Does anyone know how I can fix this so that the user can interact with  the popup? Thanks for reading.

    Thanks Mike,  Problem continues if I uninstall Adobe Flash
    Player....scanning computer now for malware.....amazing that the malware
    uses Adobe Flash Player even thought my control panel says the player does
    not exist.  Adds are not too bad but I do not like something going on out
    my control....what else is up??? That kind thing.  Will let you know when
    problem is solved, best, Allen Bealle

  • Adobe Flash Player Settings on Chrome

    I'm trying to understand the settings better and wonder why I have such difficulty changing or applying settings from the Adobe Flash Player Settings Pop-up when I am using Chrome but when I use Firefox or Internet Explorer I have no problem. In Chrome I got to click the crap out of something to get something to change or close. Also the settings pop-up's look different.
    Also I noticed the camera settings on Chrome and Internet Explore have an option for Google Camera Adapter 0 and  Google Camera Adapter 1. What the heck is Google Camera Adapter, where is it and why do I have two of them

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for your prompt response. I found out the Google Camera Adapter is for Google Talk and Google Voice. I may have changed the monitor DPI. I don't think so, but that shouldn't matter. I mean the pop-up window is the same size on all three browsers. I am having this problem while using the following;
    TOSHIBA Satellite L305D PSLC8U- 03G01U
    FabCam, Version: 1.3 (A Chrome App)
    Windows Vista Home Premium Version 6.0 (Build 602: Service Pack 2)
    Google Chrome Version 19.0.1084.52 m
    Chicony USB 2.0 Camera (Built in)
    I think I have this issue on other applications as well.  I'll try another and see if thats true
