Adobe Flash Plugin not showing up in Finder
Very frustrated here. I have installed and uninstalled the latest version of adobe flash trying to get it to work on OSX 10.7 and it's just not showing up in my plugins in Finder. What is going on? I can't watch video content or other flash on this Mac at all.
1. Enable Plug-ins
Safari > Preferences > Security
Web Content:
Click in the box for "Enable Plug-ins".
2. Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.
http://www.youtube.com/html5
At the bottom left of the page uncheck the box for
"You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
3. Reset Safari.
Click Safari in the menu bar.
From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
Uncheck the boxes next to all items.
Check the box next to "Remove all website data".
Click "Reset".
4. Turn off Extensions/Plug-ins if any that may interfere with Flash working properly.
Safari > Preferences > Extensions
Best.

The Adobe Flash plugin not working
I downloaded and installed the Adobe Flash plugin last version (11), but Firefox doesn't recognizing it and asking me again to install it. OS - MAC, version 10.6.8
You can find the latest Flash player for Firefox on this page.

For Firefox on 64 bit Windows, you need the 32 bit Flash version version because Firefox is a 32 bit application. -
Sound But No Video Adobe Flash Will Not Show My MP4 Video
Hi I am very new to this forum as well as using video online as well. I have however had some expireince and understand the basics.The problem I am having is that the Adobe Flash Player that I am using will play the audio portion of my MP4 video only. The problem did not begin untill after I did a small amount of audio & video editing of my video then tried to view the video with the same .swf files. ie; "1_ controller .swf" "expressinstall.swf" The folder also contains a "ProductionInfo.XML Doc" a "swfobject .js file" a "FirstFrame Adobe Eireworks file" and the "IE .HTML which contains the conntroller "play button". Is there a setting change I should make in one of the files, since the video can be viewed on my computer with "RealPlayer"? I need the Adobe Flash player to work. Here is a little more info: I am using a Microsoft Vista Home premium 64-bit OS. I have Adobe 10.1 downloaded and installed on my computer. I don't think that I have the Adobe Flash player configuered wrong because as I said before I can use it to veiw the same MP4 Video before minor editing. The videos are in the proper format. Can anyone help me? Your help will be graetly appreciated.
Thank you,
TontypI am sorry for your confusion, mabey this will help everyone understan alittle better what my problem is.
I downloaded a home video ecourse to my computer hard drive. I then imported the MPEG-4 videos only to my video editing software where I did a little audio and video editing before they can be ready for public use. Included in the ecourse download are anumber of MPEG-4 video folders. Inside each video folder there are a number of files in addition to the MPEG-4 video file, they include in this order. a .html file, a Mpeg-4 video file, a controller.swf, an expressinstall.swf, a FirstFrame.png (Adobe Fireworks) file. a ProductionInfo.xml, and a swfobject.js file. Before I did any editing to the MPEG-4 file when I clicked on the .html the first frame and video play button would open in my browser (Internet Explorer). I click the play button and the video ran perfectly. After the editing of the MPEG-4 videos exporting back to the same folders of origin they won't show. I can hear the sound and I can see the video controller, what I don't see is my video. Can anyone help me with this? I have tried all I know and nothing has worked. i don't think it is my Adobe Flash install. By the way I am running a Micrpsoft Vista Home Premium 64-Bit OS. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,

This has been going on about 3 weeks. Ed Jones IT said Friefox was fixing problem. So far no luck. Tried this am. Adobe will open, shoot a white line across top but not visual appears. Can use explorer to print but don't like it.
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Clicking on "click here to activate the adobe flash plugin" does not work
"click here to activate the adobe flash plugin"
clicking on this does not do anything.
I am trying to get away from the WaterFox 'click to use' interface which is a pain in the neck as hardly anything works today. Now I have a similar problem in FireFox.hello andy, if you don't want to use click to play then disable it again - enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''plugins.click_to_play'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.

Adobe website check page asking for missing plugin after installing into Windows 7. I have used Adobe uninstallers and repeated the whole process several times. Firefox has not accepted/taken the plugin at all. Only help appears for older Adobe Flash.
I've been trying to find a solution to the same problem for several hours now. I restarted my computer this morning, as it was running a bit slugglish. The restart seemed to initiate both a Firefox update and a Flash update to the latest versions. I've uninstalled Flash several times with the Flash uninstaller. I've even down-graded to 10.3. Same result. Firefox simply isn't recognizing the install. Whether it's 10.3 or the latest 11.4, it doesn't exist in the Add-ons manager. I've installed the latest real Player as well, in case it had something to do with the issue. No apparent connection.
Any ideas? -
the adobe flash plugin crashes regularly, especially since the last adobe flash update. Mozilla firefox is up to date. I am invited to send a crash report to Mozilla by clicking on the grey icon to send crash report but it will not send! when I click on it to send nothing happens!

Under plugins, I get the following message:
For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version.
However, I updated to the version Firefox suggested. Flash does not show as a plugin. Plus, after updating, I continue to receive the message:
Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version.
Running Windows 7
Firefox v 9.0.1
What is wrong?The plugin check page only recognizes some common plugins that play media on web pages and not plugins added by security software like McAfee. So no need to worry about that. Just make sure that you keep all your software up to date, especially software that deals with internet access and security software (anti-virus software, firewall).

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.

Hello,
I'm experiencing some issues with Firefox 16.0.1 which I had also experienced with Firefox 15.0.1.
On numerous occasions Firefox has crashed while attempting to access a website link contained in an AOL e-mail message.
Unrelated to that issue, Firefox has hung up frequently with associated unresponsive script warnings and occasionally with the Adobe Flash Plugin crashing. Some of the unresponsive script warnings are:

I've reset Firefox and disabled all the plugins and yet these problems persist.
What are those script warnings actually telling me and are there any recommendations on how to resolve these issues?
Thank you,

Using OSX 10.8 DW CS6 when I click "live" it says "flash plugin" "not found".
Using DW CS6 when I click "live" it says "Flash Plugin was not found. To view Flash content in Live View install the Firefox Flash Plugin from www.adobe.com."
My default browser is Chrome. DW uses Chrome as the primary browser. (FFox is secondary.)
I do have Firefox and do not have Flash on it. I open Flash content Chrome, and I installed an HTML5 video viewer add-on in FFox (but haven't tried it yet).
I also have the Dreamweaver HTML5 Video View add-on, so why am I getting that message? Furthermore, the HTML code doesn't have any Flash objects. (The code is the source HTML from www.google.com page, without any changes.)
How do I make DW display the "Live" view of the code without giving me an error? (My end goal is to find out what google does when you enter something in the search box and hit the Enter key, actually, I'd like to see why the result of the search is displayed the way it is - default should be Web view, but Image view shows instead. I want Web to show!)"Why would anybody paste Google's source code into their own web page?" To learn from it.
I'm sorry Phil, but you can't learn much from Google's source code because search engines are dynamically programed with behind-the-scenes code and content from databases that you can't see. You're just spinning your wheels here. If you want to learn how to make a search engine, I'd be happy to point you to some relevant PHP & MySql tutorials.
The issue still remains that DW is giving me the error (flash plugin not found)
When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW

Cannot install Adobe Flash plugin--FAQ no help
Installation instructions in FAQ are no longer current at Adobe's download site. Downloaded correct version of Flash and ran install program. Program knew it was installing in FF and asked that I shut off FF. Did so and program ran, saying install completed, but plugin does not appear in list and cannot run speedtest.net, which asks for v.10 of Flash.
You have a current version of Adobe Flash installed. Look in Add-ons > Plugins. The current version is Shockwave Flash 10.3.181.26. Adobe's latest Flash does not show the last 2 digits when the plugins are shown in your posting (click "More system details..." to the right of your original question, scroll to the bottom and look for Shockwave Flash).

'''You need to update the following.''' The Plugin version(s) shown below was/were submitted with your question and is/are out of date.

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 does not work, even when enabled.
The Adobe Flash plugin doesn't seem to work. Well, it's there but doesn't show any Flash content. In other words, it just shows the background of the site (or blank). Sites are able to detect Flash if it's disabled. No other addons or plugins are interfering with it. I can't update Firefox or Flash.
Hi,
In summary
* check IE works with Flash content at present
* download and install Firefox 14+
* uninstall Flash 11.3 and install Flash 10.3
* post back with how you get on
* note these are temporary workarounds until developers fix the problems.<br> Whilst these problems exist upgrading FlashPlayer as advised by Adobe Flash, or by Firefox's pluginchecker may not be a good idea.
First of all I note you seem to be using the old Firefox 5. That is no longer supported and is not secure. I would suggest you update to Firefox 14 either by using the menu option
* Help -> About Firefox ->Upgrade
* or by visiting http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Secondly note there may be some problems with use of the current Flash 11.3 versions. Some Firefox users are needing to uninstall tht and downgrade to Flash Player 10.3 (older but secure) or Flash Player 11.2
This problem has had developer attention for a few weeks but there is no sign of a proper solution yet. Note at least some of the problems relate to a new security feature ''protected mode'' used by FlashPlayer on windows systems above Windows XP.
As a Windows user you may wir=sh to check if FlashPlayer works ok on Internet Explorer ? It should do. (But you may have problems if you follow the official advice to use an Adobe uninstaller, you may need to review the IE installation of FlashPlayer afterwards.)
Note the fact that your problem relates to FlashPlayer 11.3 is at the moment no more than a guess, based on the number of known issues at present (and the sytsem information aside that indicates you are using flash 11.3).
The current standard official advice is :
Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
[[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
[[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

How can I add an Adobe Flash Plugin?
I cannot find an "Adobe Flash Plugin" in my add-ons list. I search that name and it is not offerred to me.
I have updated Firefox and downloaded the update for "Adobe Flash Player". Why won't it add a plug in? I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.8.Adobe Flashplayer is referred to as Adobe Flash or Flash, but is shown in your Plugins as Shockwave Flash, a name that Adobe assigned.
