Adobe flash won't work with firefox

why adobe flash 11 does not work with firefox

Maybe someone can help me with a similar issue.  I am running Windows 8 64 bit, firefox 23.0.1 on a brand new Asus laptop, 3rd gen Intel I7.  I currently have Flas 11.8.x installed and enabled as well as shockwave.  Some pages that seem to use Flash, like Google Play, work just fine.  However, others do no display any content.  They do not display the crash logo (w/ the sad fave lego block),  I get only a blank (white or sometimes black) space.  If I right clock on this space, I get a greyed out option displaying the message "Flash movie not loaded" and an enabled button that read "About Flashplayer 11.8.x". 
For example, Yahoo Fantasy Football draft room will not load, neither will the flash test video at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html.  I tooke my computer back to TigerDirect for them to take a look at it, and while the Tech there said he didn't know what to tell me, he also said he was sure it was a software issue.  That being said, my GPU is Nvidia geforce GTX 670MX.
I have also tried to run Firefox in compatibility mode in WIndows 7 and XP, and in both these instances, with updated flash, I at leas can get a "Flash Has Crashed" graphic in the instances that flash is not displaying. I have also tried loading flash in IE10, Chrome and Opera to the same issues.   If anyone has any help, please let me know.

    I vote Flash Player.
    First uninstall Flash Player according to the instructions here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    Read and follow all the instructions with care.
    If you must have Flash Player, install it from this site:

  • Why doesn't Adobe Flash Player 11 work with Firefox 7

    Firefox 7.0.1 does not recognize that Adobe Flash 11 is installed. it works with Safari, not Firefox

    Matt,
    You have to run Firefox in 32-bit mode in order for it to run Adobe Flash Player 11 on Firefox 7.0.1 on Snow Leopard.
    Mac: Get Info (Command+I) on Firefox icon and click box run in 32-bit mode. I think its shoddy Mozzilla support and really lame that they didn't post this.

  • Adobe Flash Player 10 works with Firefox but not with IE8???

    Hi Gang: I need help, I have downloaded adobe flash player 10, enable my javascript in IE8, but when I attempt to run youtube videos, I get the error message, javascript need to be enable or you need to download a newer version of adobe flash player. I then opened Firefox instead then run the same youtube videos and everything is perfectly fine. Why can't I run youtube videos in IE8 with the adobe flash player 10? What is the fix?
    Thanks

    What's (likely) happening is that the HTML wrapper around the .swf isn't behaving... which causes Flash Player version detection to fail. Hit this test page at youtube - you should see an embedded movie with Flash Player version information.

    You may find success by following the instructions in this tech-note for a complete uninstall... then re-install the latest FP.

  • I just loaded Yosemite on my Mac and now adobe flash won't work in Safari  8.0.4 .  Does anyone have a solution ?

    I just loaded Yosemite on my Mac and now adobe flash won't work in Safari 8.0.4 . Does anyone have a solution ?

    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 "blocked plug-in" error, see Step 4.
    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 ▹ Delete All...
    In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
              Delete All Site Data and Settings
    then click Delete Data. 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.

  • Flash player not working with Firefox 5

    Hi all:
    I have been having problems with my Firefox 5 (also was happening with 4) and the Flash Player (newest and previous versions also). Basically, whenever I open a page with flash content, Firefox gets frozen and "not responding" appears on the top bar.After some time, it comes back
    I've tried reinstalling Firefox and Flash Player (also formatting laptop - Windows 7) and this is still happening.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    W.

    You might as well stop wasting your time. The problem seems to be centered around FireFox (since Adobe Flash seems to work fine with IE and Chrome).  After FireFox begin running Flash as a separate process, it no longer retains preset volume settings for Flash, instead, each new FireFox window resets it to max volume. As a result, several times I've had my ears blasted (this can lead to hearing loss and/or damaged audio equipment). This only happens with newer versions of Flash. Consequently, I no longer use the latest versions in FireFox. I'm thinking about totally dropping FireFox and moving completely to Chrome. Looks like neither Adobe or FireFox are gonna budge to fix the problem.

  • Expression Web 4 Super Preview won't work with Firefox?

    I get an error message in Microsoft Expression Web 4 Super Preview telling me it won't work with my version of Firefox (the latest version). Does this mean I have to install an older version to be able to use my Expression Web site building program?

    Problem identified and solved. The new Expression Web 4 Super Preview softward had not been properly activated. Now it is and everything is working very well. Thank You for having this useful means of working out a solution. I'll be using it in the future.

  • Flash Player 9 won't work with Firefox-Mac 867 dual mhz

    I'm using a Mac G4 dual 867 mhz, OS 10.3.5 and can't get Flashplayer 9 to work on Firefox. I have the 10.3.9 update but can't get it to install. Is the problem the OS version or something else?

    Gary,
    Thanks for quick response
    "First, through IE6, verify your installed version:
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about"
    Doing this doesn't show installed version, as it does when I
    go there from my laptop.
    "Can you get to other sites? If yes, does FP work there? If
    you couldn't get to the doc's website at all, it's an IE6 related
    issue, not FP."
    Doesn't work at Adobe either. I can get to the doc's website
    but his intro page is a flash video. Get black screen and if you
    right click it will say "about Flash Player 9" so I know I'm there
    and FP is installed and running
    "Many things can be the cause, probs w/IE6 (settings),
    AV/IS/Spyware/Adware/Popup blockers, etc.. These can also affect
    FP."
    I tried checking the IE6 settings per stuff on the forums,
    disabled AVG AV and WINXP firewall and none of that helped. Pop-up
    blocker says it isn't on.
    "I'm surprised that your desktop XP didn't have any FP.
    Usually it does have it, but the older versions don't show up in
    the Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs list. They're way down in
    C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash folder."
    Didn't look at Control Panel , just that going to web site
    said we needed FP.
    "If you can get to the site and ya just can't view flash, try
    these things:
    Then, go down to the Flash folder and see what's there. You
    should have a FlashUtil9x, a Flash9x.ocx, an uninstall file and
    maybe a txt file. While online as an Admn User, dbl click on the
    Util9x and a "wizard" panel should appear. Follow the instructions.
    Close/restart IE, test (go to the site). If no-go, reboot, go IE6
    and test again.
    Yes, this may get you to FP10, but your IE6 and flash will be
    working."
    Already did this also, the only "wizard" that comes up either
    automatically updates to FP10 or does nothing. In one of your
    previous threads you said it would "set" FP. What does that mean
    and what screen/button/icon should I be seeing?
    Anyway, one of the several times I did it, I let it install
    FP10 but it didn't solve the problem.

  • Adobe Flash Player not working with IE 11 Active X

    After successful installation of Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X, there is no shortcut to it but the program is found in the Control Panel (under uninstall).
    Tried re-installation and all help on internet forum and Youtube, the videos at yahoo.com.sg still prompts to download latest flash player. Why?

    This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Flash no longer works with Firefox 13

    so I have Firefox 13.0.1 and upgraded flashplayer to 11.3 and flash no longer works. I've tried lots of things, but finally downgraded flas player to 11.2. Still no joy. The only way I can get Flash to work is if I start Firefox in safemode with add-ons disabled. If i manually disable add-ons from within Firefox is still doesn't work, so I guess that isn't quite the same as the safemode disabling. I don't have RealPlayer installed. I tried creating a new profile, but still no joy. Any other ideas for me to try please?

    Try to disable hardware acceleration.

  • Flash does not work with Firefox following Windows Vista update 14/5/2014.

    Flash still works with IE9. I've carried out all steps in http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html, i.e. twice updated Flash to V13.0.0.214 (previously V13.0.0.206), activated Firefox Flash add-on, deleted browser data and cache and disabled hardware acceleration. Nothing fixes it! Vista SP2, Firefox 29.0.1.

    Apologies for vague "does not work" from me - and sorry for delay replying. What I understand to be "rich media content" did not display. For example, all text and images in this screen clip from www.metoffice.gov.uk appeared as a single blank grey rectangle. In other websites links displayed in a basic underlined font instead of rich formatted text/images, or video and audio links were completely missing from an otherwise fully rendered webpage.
    However in the last hour Firefox has starting behaving properly again without any further diagnostic efforts from me! For six days some graphics and links have not displayed in Firefox, yet IE9 has behaved perfectly. This has happened a few times before, normal service being restored (in hours rather than days) either by updating the Flash plug-in or for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts in case of future re-occurrences would be appreciated. Thanks Pat for your time and help.
