Adobe Flash Plug In Error after I was prompted to Update Firefox

I was prompted that there was an update to Firefox which completed successfully. After the update Firefox began to crash and the conclusion I have come to is the Adobe FlashPlayer.

Yes I did try that. One thing whats the description for the Flash plug in because I cant find it anywhere to even enable or disable it which at this time is disabled because when I click on the link to "check if your plugins are up to date" in the Add-On Manager it prompts me that "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version." I clicked on the link
and attempted to install. I closed out of Firefox and then opened it after the install was complete and still no Flash. Thanks

Since installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard my macBook pro does not allow Adobe Flash plug in even after attempting to download. Any advice what to do? Tks

Hello,
Since installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro, I cannot use Adobe Flash. Each time i attempt to download Adobe i get the same message "blocked plug-in'. Any ideas?
Tks

alisel,
the latest version of Adobe Flash Player that runs on Snow Leopard (or newer versions of OS X) can be downloaded here.
Once you’ve installed it, you might need to check Safari’s Preferences, in the Security tab, to make sure that the “Allow Plug-ins” checkbox is checked.

I was prompted to update firefox 2 days ago for the latest security updates or whatever and now it will not even open for me. It instantly crashes upon loading. Please help! I dont like using IE! Thanks

Adobe Flash plug in still crashing after attempting both solutions posted here. Works for a day then crashes again.

My Adobe Flash plug in is still crashing. I first attempted the Update Flash. It worked for a day before it started crashing again. So I went back to the page and attempted the 2nd solution of downgrading flash to 10.3. Again it worked for a day or two but now is giving me the same issue. I am getting extremely frustrated.

Thank you. I uninstalled both and reinstalled 11.5. It is working currently. Hopefully it will continue!

I want to temporarily disable Adobe Flash plug-in--(as Chrome allows)--is there a way to do this for FF?

I don't want to permanently uninstall adobe flash--I merely want to disable it at my discretion. Is there a method to do this? Google Chrome allows you to disable and re-enable add-ons/extensions/plug-ins quite easily without uninstalling them and then re-enable them just as easily. If this option isn't available in FF, I'd like to request it. Thanks.

Thanks--I tried that first when I first began having problems--I could not locate the Flash Plug-in. Apparently I was looking under the wrong icon (the add-ons--puzzle piece icon) instead of the plug-ins (lego piece icon). After receiving your rather rapid response to my inquiry, I tried again and was able to locate the plug-in list. Thanks

Adobe Flash plug-in crashed ! Help?!...please.

Okay, my Firefox has crashed apparently. So it says 'The Adobe Flash plug-in has crashed'. Okay, so what do I do? I tried fixing it on my own, scene I am usually good with this kind of problems, and what I researched it tells me to click the little 'send crash report' link. But it doesn't show and says 'no crash report' so like HELP?!...please.

Adobe Flash CS4 installation error

Hello,
I just downloaded trial version of Adobe Flash CS4 (Englisth|Windows) but after unpacking the archive and starting setup.exe I am getting error msg (see att). Are there any error logs with more information??
Text is in czech language so here's translation:
-----------First window-----------
Adobe Flash CS4 - Installation Error
Installation Error
An error occured while installing. Ask for help at Adobe support.
-----------Second windows-----------
Installer of Adobe Flash CS4 application: inicialization

Is md5 hash available for integrity check of installation package?
System info:
Intel C2D 2,2Ghz
3GB RAM
about 160GB free HDD space
Windows Vista Ult. 64b
Thanks for any help!

There is no fix. Flash Pro is not compatible with Win 8 even in CS6. There are dependencies with Flash Player components and the way it's handled in Win 8 prevents it from working liek the app expects.

Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work?

I tried to play a game I love & I got this message: "To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.0 or greater is installed" So I went to your site to update my flash player & hit the "Test Flash Player" button & it came up
like this^^. I went to the suggestions your site provided & went to Manage add-ons to look for Shockwave Flash Object to enable it:
You can see that it is enabled by this picture I have provided. So it also asks me to make sure that ActiveX isn't clicked on & so I did:
As you can see it's turned off & I even tried it the other way where it has the spot checked & it still wont play. So I decided to see if I could reinstall it onto my computer & so in turn I got this message:
That is the message I got even after trying to delete Flash Player & reinstalling it. Now you can see my frustration with all this. Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work? I have a Windows 8.1 Pro, I use Internet Explorer which has the latest version on it, which is Windows Explorer 11 Version: 11.0.9600.17498 & I was also under the understanding that I also had the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on this computer as well. Can someone tell me what to do??

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Namoroka will not recognise Adobe Flash Plug In. Keeps saying a plug in is missing.

I just installed Firefox 64 bit that is called Namoroka. A couple of sites say "Additional plug ins are required to display all of the media on this page"; Clicking "Install missing plugin" takes me to Download Adobe Flash Player. I install it and reboot. Restarting Firefox gives me same problem asking for Adobe Flash Plyer to be installed. I check installed programs and find that Adobe Flash player is installed. I try all manner of tricks but Firefox Namoroka still doesn't recognise that Adobe Flash Player is installed.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Flash was required ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100405 Namoroka/3.6.3

There is an 'experimental' beta 64bit version of flash (for Windows) which works fine for me:

Updating Adobe Flash Plug-In for Mac 10.5.8

Hello, I have been trying to update the Adobe Flash Plug-In for a Mac 10.5.8 and have not had much success. I've downloaded the plug-in 4 times and it will not run properly. Please advise! Thank you.

Mac OS10.5.8 was one of the last versions of the operating system that worked on both PowerPC Macs and Intel Macs.
If you have a PowerPC Mac then Adobe no longer support them and there is no newer version of the Flash plug-in.

I am trying to print redplum coupons and I can't, help. I have updated java, adobe flash, and made sure my printer was set on default. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have contacted redplum and no one will help.

I am trying to print redplum coupons and I can't, help. I have updated java, adobe flash, and made sure my printer was set on default. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have contacted redplum and no one will help.

No Apple response??? Redplum/Valassis will not help either. I searched, using the cups error message and though it is Unbuntu, same error so maybe useful...only problem: details would not display unless I join Unbuntu forum. What a pain to do anything with my Mac or find any help. I honestly regret buying this buggy OS.
Anyway, here is what I found, FYI:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=483415
As the old saying goes: when in doubt, consult the manual. The problem appears to be that I added the printer using the KDE Add Printer Wizard. It was automatically given a "socket" URI instead of an "lpd" one. When I:
- altered the printer settings at http://localhost:631 (the CUPS admin page) as instructed in the manual for the printer, and
- copied the PPD file into a second place on the hard drive (as instructed on ubunutuforums, see the link above)
..everything started working.
It's still slower than windows, but I can live with that
Probably a simple fix. Change the socket I.P. to match the printer I.P. like this:
socket://192.168.1.86:9100. The thing I'm concerned with using socket:// is that AFAIK the printer I.P. must not change. In my case I'm able to assign a static I.P. address to the printer but it's something to consider.
I found that the only thing I needed to do was change socket to lpd (and remove :9100 off the end as well). See Solving Ubuntu printer broken pipe problem (DocuPrint C525A) . BTW thanks for steering me in the right direction - very grateful.
Solving Ubuntu printer “broken pipe” problem (DocuPrint C525A)
Posted on November 25, 2008
Are you having a problem with your printer under the latest versions of Ubuntu (perhaps it worked under an older version)? Are you able to print short documents, but not longer, or more graphics-intensive, documents? (e.g. the unfortunate people at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=625493). Do they sit there as Processing for ages and then switch to Held? If you have the same problem I had the solution I tried may work for you too. Firstly, check your cups error log:
sudo gedit /var/log/cups/error_log
If you see anything like the following, the solution may be simple:
[Job 201] Unable to write print data: Broken pipe
PID 13359 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/socket) stopped with status 1!
System > Administration > Printing and right click on your printer, selecting Properties. Settings > Device URI
If you see something like socket://your_printer_ip_address:9100 just change socket to lpd and remove the :9100 off the end. Then click on apply.
Apparently lpd is a more modern protocol which works with most printers whereas socket is more raw (and potentially faster but riskier in a network situation). Somewhere along the line, the default Ubuntu/Gnome setup for networked printers shifted from lpd to socket. Some primitive printers will have benefited whereas a larger number of more modern printers will have suffered.
Please correct me if I am wrong (which is highly possible) but the underlying problem could be that socket may make the printer wait a long time for a large file to be processed ready for printing. Some printers, such as the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C525A, may drop the socket if things take too long to start coming through.
Changing timeout settings might work but lpd is better than socket so it is the preferred solution in any case.
If this works for you, please leave a comment to let others know (ideally with a description of the printer and Ubuntu version). Printer may be relevant if it doesn’t support the direct stream protocol properly. NB I may take a while to let your comment through because of the volume of spam. Sorry about that.
Finally, thanks to sphilli8 for the steer in the right direction at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6245626.

Adobe Flash Player 10 Errors (Safari and Games)

Hello,
Sometimes, when watching Flash videos on YouTube or other sites that have flash videos embedded, Adobe Flash Player 10 errors come up with the option to either 'Dismiss All' or 'Continue' is provided. Sometimes, Safari crashes and I have to relaunch when I choose either option, but sometimes the video keeps playing when I press either button and nothing happens.
Usually, this problem hasn't been affecting me but I recently got the Sims 3 and when I'm at the Game Launcher window, before I can click the play button, this Flash Error pops up. When I click Dismiss All/Continue, the game says I am running an unauthorized version and there will be limited features. Then the game quits. This only happens sometimes but is quite annoying.
The error that occurred was:
+Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.+
Can someone help me out here?
Do I need to reinstall the Flash plugin or Flash CS4?
Thanks!

Hi
Yes, a reinstall of Flash would be a good start. First, uninstall Flash. You can get the uninstaller here.
Next, install the latest version of Flash.
Once the installation is complete, via the Finder: Applications>Utilities folder. Open Disk Utility, select your HD on the left, then "repair permissions".
When complete, restart the computer, then try Flash in Safari.

Adobe Flash 10c.ocx error message?

Well, my sister and I are REALLY getting angry at whatEVER this flash thing is. I run my business on the road -am gone a LOT. Tonight when I got home, I had a very important eMail letter to send. Three other windows were open -NOTHING PERTAINING TO ADOBE!!! All of a sudden, it wiped ALL of them out, shut them down and left me with this little number above, "Adobe Flash 10c.ocx" error message, to which crap vista windows informed me, "Internet Explorer has encourntered a problem with an add-on and needs to close." No warning ... just the whole letter and ALL the other pages, GONE!
If I want to do something with Adobe, I'll do it, otherwise I expect it to sit quietly in the background and keep quiet! I have enough problems with this vista "system" -WORST ever invented. Just what vista needed, something else so it can cause more headaches!
I found this forum, and I HOPE this will be fixed VERY shortly. Thanks for letting me say.
Thank God I have almost total recall when such a thing happens, but I really do not appreciate it happening in the middle of a message so important!

1. Download & use the flash Uninstaller from here: it
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?ext...
2. Reboot to clear out any left over ocx files.
3. Rescan using Secunia PSI - if there are any insecure Flash elements left what is the path to them? U should not proceed to stage 4 until all U clear any problems found.(The overview page may look a little odd because it uses Flash for the pictorials) you can download it from www.secunia.com it's a easy tool to use just follow the commands
4. Reinstall the latest Internet Explorer Flash Player from here: ( make sure you copy the link below and open internet explorer and paste it into the address bar and press enter then download the file and it should install fine.)
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_ie/
3A.If U are also using Firefox, Opera and other Gecko-based browsers U need this link as well: ( If you are using this browser just follow the same commands as above just copy the link below and paste it into the address bar and press enter then download the file and it shold install fine)
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_fire...
5. Go to add/remove & double check Adobe have not installed the useless Adobe Download Manager - if U see an entry remove it.
Hope it helps for you i had the same problems took me days to work out what was wrong, let me know if it fix it. Melissa
