When I try to print coupons, I get a message that the coupon printer plugin has crashed. I've tried following the instructions for when the Adobe Flash plugin crashes, but reloading the page does not work. Just sits there for 5 minutes doing nothing.

Happens when going to print.coupons.com. I click the "learn more" button on the message that the plugin has crashed, and I get sent to the Adobe Flash plugin crash info page on Firefox. They say just to reload the page. There is a button for this. I click it and the page tries to reload for 5 minutes before freezing.

Flash player downloads but doesnt work!

Hi! I hope someone can help me. I'm on a laptop and for the past day or so I downloaded adobe flash about 10 times and it doesnt seem to work. whenever I try to watch something or have a flash ad on a website, I get a message that says "install missing plugins". I click on it, and it takes me to the flash download page but it doesnt seem to work.
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with this, but it says by the installation instructions that I would need to press "run", I only have an option to save the file. Thanks in advance for your help!

I have the same problem

Adobe Flash Player installer is not working.

Adobe installer is giving me a dark window with nothing else. Activity Monitor Shows the installer, But nothing is going on. According to terminal, the installer starts, and log out one second later. I checked the Adobe community's help site, and Apple's one also. It seems everyone has the same problem, And is not only Mac OS, but window's also.
For me it started with 10.10, never before, have seen the message that ''You have to update the Flash Player''. Now most of the Youtube, News sites, and movie sites are not working.
I followed all the recommendations in support communities, with well wished suggestions. But no solution has worked. Even used the Adobe suggestion to do a clean install.
And yes! I tried using HTML5, and others, but the sites that I like, won't work. I know is a blessing to forget about Flash, but...
Anybody knows what's going on? Any idea please?
Mac Pro, OS 10.10.1, Safari version 8.

You've DL'd the installer from that page and when the dmg opens and you double-click the Install Adobe Flash Player.app it doesn't show this?
If it does, you have to click the box indicating you've read the terms before the Install button activates.

Adobe Flash Player Installer has stopped working

I have recently gone through a lot of problems on this computer i have just now recently fixed. the computer was formated and all, and when i got onto the internet it said it the browser (both mozilla and IE) has stopped working however the problem is fixed but not with IE (it had to do with hardware acceleration). Well i went to download the newest (and ive tried older ones) version of flash player and when i start the installer after im prompted to run as admin, i immidietly get the message Adobe Flash Player has Stopped Working. When i close the window in the toolbar it said that DEP has closed it. Im pretty much stumped here as i've tried turning DEP off using the installer but the program needs DEP to run. Ive tried turning off the firewalls and everything please help. I'm good with computers as i took basicly all the parts out and put it back in to fix this pc (it wuld not get passed first screen on start up ended up being bad stick of RAM i had just put it in, as well as tons of other problems happening with this hunk of junk).

Flash plugin detected but not working (Firefox 22 on Linux)

Hi all,
I can't get the flash plugin to work. It's installed, detected in about:plugins, but when I visit adobes's test page at http://www.adobe.com/fr/shockwave/welcome/ , I just get the usual " you need a plugin to view this content" thing.
This happenned since I migrated from Mageia 1 to Mageia 2, and still doesn't work on Mageia 3, which uses Firefox 17 ESR. I then downloaded and installed Firefox 22 directly from Mozilla, still with no luck. I've reset my profile, tried to use an empty profile, tried disabling all add-ons, still no luck.
about:plugins displays this:
File : libflashplayer.so
Path : /opt/firefox/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Version : 11,2,202,297
State : Enabled
Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202
This is the most up-to-date flash version available from Adobe.
Another thing is that this machine is a 32 bits install, on an Athlon XP 3000+ with a Radeon X1650 graphics card. Surprisingly, on another machine, using the same distro but with a 64 bits install, Flash works well.
I'm out of ideas now, so any hint would be welcome. Thank you.

Shockwave also known as Shockwave for Director is not the same as the Shockwave Flash Player.

Flash Player Installs but wont work.

Hello,
I am currently having a proble with my parents computer and Adobe Flash Player 10.1.
It downloades and installs but when I go to a site to check it for example poker on facebook, all it says is i need the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
Theyr copmuter OS is Windows Vista 32-Bit, Have java 6 u 23. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple ties, still the same thing. I tried the logo thing that Adobe offers to check as well and it doesnt show either. I looked in the C:/ folder area where it tells you to look and the only file in there was a Flash text document. That i know is not right, but every install is the same one file. Got tired of fighting with it for an hour and decided to come home and post on here and see if anyone could help. And using IE8.

Hi, if there are no files in the Flash folder(system32) except a text doc, then Flash Player is not Installed.
The Administrator Account must be used to Uninstall/Install Flash Player.
When you were Installing did you receive any error messages? If not then you would need to Uninstall and Install again.
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE- use the EXE Installer
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
Disable any messenger services, as yahoo, msn, etc in the system tray(area near the clock)
If you use Norton or McAfee Anti-Virus, you would want to disable that also as they can block the Shockwave Flash Object.
Be sure to use the Administrator Account.
Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
Run the Installer for IE, Run the Installer for FF and when finished, Reboot.
Then go to this test site and test each browser:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
You may want to print these instructions to make it easier to follow. If you have any questions, let me know.
Thanks,

Adobe Flash Player installed - but not working

I have Windows 7, 64 bit, with Internet Explorer 11. On the day before Thanksgiving everything was working fine. I received a greeting on 11/27 and was unable to open it - I was told I needed to install Adobe Flash Player - assumed it was an update - but since that time I've been unable to open any of the puzzles on Shockwave, or cards from greeting card providers - probably some other things, but I haven't found out about them yet. Every time I try to open any of these programs, I get a message that I need to install the flash player. My control panel shows that I have Adobe Flash Player 15 Active X, 6 MB, version 15.0.0.239 installed and the add-on manager under tools says it's enabled - but it escapes me what it's enabled to do other than drive me batty and waste all my time. I've rebooted the computer, closed all IE windows, numerous times after uninstalling the program and then reinstalling it - all a waste of time. Is there any advice out there? Linda Kochefko, El Dorado, KS

is Active X Filtering something that should show up under Tools, Manage Add-Ons? If so, I think I had it earlier this week, but it's gone now. In my efforts to eliminate the Flash Player so I could reinstall a working copy, I may have uninstalled too much. It's not listed under Programs or under Tools at this time.

Adobe Flash Player Installer Will Not Work

As the title suggests, my adobe flash player will not install on my Mac Book Pro.
About 3 weeks ago my computer started saying I needed to upgrade my Flash Player for it to watch videos. So I tried.
I went to Adobe.com and tried installing the Flash player, the file its self downloads fine, but when I try to run the installer It gets stuck at 30% every. Single. Time.
I tried uninstalling Flash player, turning plug ins on and off, no luck.
I was running 10.8.5 OS the other day on my mac, and decided to upgrade to OS Yosemite today to see if that would solve the issue, no luck.
I'm all out of ideas, please help.

Adobe Flash plugin installed but not showing up

Since 2-18-2013, my Adobe Flash Player is neither appearing as being installed with FireFox19 ... NOR does it work on any website other than the Adobe "verify" page. I have:
a. Removed Flash Player and rebooted
c. Reinstalled Flash Player from download location; rebooted; restarted FireFox.
d. Removed latest flash player (per "c" above); rebooted.
e. Downloaded a older version of F/P, rebooted, restarted.
Bottom line: No Flash Player works.
When I (somehow) navigated to the "about:plugins" there is NO Flash Player.
HELP ... I'm a senior and so frustrated now.
Thanks in advance.

My problem is exactly the same as the first poster. No doubt if I started a new question there would be someone telling me "that questions already been asked". The point is those solutions and all the solutions suggested on firefox support aren't working for this problem. That this occurred only with the new version of firefox is indicative of a deeper problem specific to this build.

Adobe flash 11 installs but not integrated into ie8

I have an XP/32 SP3 system using IE8. I use the latest Avast, and have realplayer 16. I temporarily disabled all add-ons today, and subsequently I have been unable to re-enable as the entry has disappeared from the list of add-ons. I have uninstalled and re-installed IE8, ditto with Adobe Flash using the Adobe Flash removal tool, and then re-installed the latest IE version. I have used the Flash test option and the screen is just greyed out. So clearly although there are no error diagnostics during the install, the add-on is not being integrated into IE8. Hence URLs that require flash show an error.
All M$ updates uptodate.
What could I try?

Thanks for your reply - I did delete the flash/macromed directories as suggested by Adobe prior to the last re-insatll. Here is a screen grab of the flash directory as now.
Shockwave is not appearing as an add-on in IE8.

Adobe flash player installs but doesn't play

I have installed (uninstalled-reinstalled) AFP. The set up
screen says that it installed correctle, the little flassh played
demo plays, but when I go to a site that requires the use of AFP,
it says that I need to install the player. I have followed Adobes
suggestion of checking IE settings but still the same issue. Any
suggestions?

I'm having the same problem & have spent far too much
time trying to figure this out. Help

Firefox 34.0.5 says Adobe Flash plugin is blocked, but update check reports my Flash plugin (ver. 16.0.0.235) is current. How to fix???

About 1 month ago, I updated Flash and Firefox to most current versions. Firefox 34.0.5, running on WinXP, SP3, shows Adobe Flash plugin as ver. 16.0.0.235, but this is now being blocked again. No other versions of Flash are evident. When I choose option on Flash screen to check plugins are up to date, Firefox reports Flash plugin is up to date.
This program behaviour is wrong and should be fixed. Checking at Adobe, current Flash is 16.0.0.305.
Who or what is broken here? Is Firefox broken, and not reporting correctly that more current Flash plugin is available?
I do not appear to have previous versions of Flash installed on system. This combo of software was working correctly for a while, and then became broken, without a proper path to allow users to resolve it. If Firefox is rigged to "Block" a plugin, then it *MUST* be configured to easily and **CORRECTLY** allow that plugin to be updated. Using most current software, my clicking on the "Check for updates" feature reports that Adobe Flash is most current version. Arrrrgh!!
I am now back to "diagnose and fix broken Firefox+Flash" exercise, which I just went thru.
Best solution here would be to allow user to easily override the "blocking" mechanism. This would assist users who only use Flash video access on trusted sites.
If there is an obvious solution to this current Flash "BLocking" goofery, please inform. Otherwise, if and when I resolve this, I will post a reply to my own question here, indicating what I did to fix this, as it appears to be affecting other Firefox+Flash users, without a clear solution being posted.

Adobe issued 3 new Flash 16 versions in January alone, then another new one - .305 - in February, ''along with one in early December. Five new versions in 2 months time''. So with updating Flash "about 1 month ago", you are probably 2 or 3 versions behind the latest Flash 16 version.
Note that Adobe has its own internal updater, which by default is set to check for an update ''(only)'' once a month. Adobe does their own updates for their software, Firefox just tells you when your version is on the blocklist due to known security issues with the version you have installed. It is up to you to do a manual update between the monthly update check that Flash does for your installation.
The "solution" is for Adobe to fix their stuff. Like maybe an updater that checks for updates more frequently, and not hide their updater user preferences where users don't know where they are and be able to set it for more a frequent update check cycle. ''[Firefox "checks" every time Firefox is launched, as does Chrome]''. Or fix the code in Flash that leads to it being so exploitable, and not have to do 5 separate security fixes in as little as a 2 month time span. ''Flash went almost 2 years prior to Dec 2014 without Mozilla needing to blocklist it, and when Mozilla did first blocklist it in Dec it was / is a soft-block where the user can still use it by using Allow per Flash presentation.''
My advice is to grab the Extended Support Release - Flash Player 13.0.0.269 from here - https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html - over 3/4 down that page. IMO the best version for WinXP users, as the later versions have features for Vista and later versions of Windows - won't work on WinXP or may cause problems on WinXP.

Adobe Flash Player installer/uninstaller 10.1 r82 AND 102 has stopped working

Hi there,
First time I've used these forums and I am a bit computer illiterate, so apologies if I come across a bit stupid!
I am using the following systems:
Windows Vista (32 bits I think)
IE 7
Adobe / Flash v 10.1.82.76
I was trying to install iTunes on the weekend and was having trouble, so Apple suggested I delete my Local Temp Files and all Apple apps, which I did.
Since then, when I try to access most internet sites, I encounter the following error message:
'Adobe Flash Player installer/uninstaller 10.1 r82 has stopped working'. I have the option of getting Windows to check the problem or closing the problem, whichever option I select I just go round and round in circles as it keeps coming back to the same error message. As a result, I can't access most websites as the page just freezes and I eventually have to close IE.
I understand this to be a common problem as I've done a few google searches and have come across others with the same problem and have tried various solutions without success.
I have tried to download Adobe uninstaller (via another PC and saving it on to disk and then onto my desktop), but when I try to run this as administrator I get the following message;
'Adobe Flash Player installer/uninstaller 10.1 r102 has stopped working'.
I am at my wits end, if there is anyone out there that can help it would be appreciated.
Thank you.

NO, just a windows pop-up with the message:
     "Microsoft Windows
     Adobe Flash player Installer/Uninstaller 10.1
     r85 has stopped working
     A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
     Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is
     available."
And then just the option to "close program". This happens at the point of me trying to install the
program from the saved download on my desktop, directly through a website or any other method I've tried.
Thanks
