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:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

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a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window.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.

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.

FLASH 9 won't work with Safari 2.0.4

Installed, uninstalled, reinstalled flash 9. Works with Foxfire, but not with Safari 2.0.4. Tried to install flash 8 instead and it gave me the "update flash" page. Very frustrated. Please help. There is no preference file with "safari" in the name.

threejay10,
thanks for pointing me to the other discussion thread on
http://www.justin-cook.com/wp/2007/03/08/flash-9-doesnt-work-on-mac-os-x/
i am not that comfortable in Terminal so I opted for the one other option i could see that doesn't reliance on me typing a slew of sensitive characters into Terminal.
So, instead, I downloaded Pseudo from VersionTracker
http://versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9608
installed it in my applications folder. then dragged the Flash 9 installer onto Pseudo. Flash then installed perfectly and all is working well.
It seems there is a simple fix after all. Apparently Pseudo installs into the root and therefore, I assume, bypasses the permissions issues. After 2 days of trying to solve this, I"m happy it's over. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. I hope others can find this thread and the solution.
Cheers, TM

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 is not working in Safari (5.1.7 Snow Leopard)

It's been down for at least 6 months.I've uninstalled and reinstalled Safari and Flash but nothing has worked. I've already emptied my cache and deleted all extensions. Java is enabled. There is no Adobe Flash folder in the Adobe Application folder though. I can't find instructions on how to fix this.
I feel like I'm going crazy and I want to throw my computer out of the window...Or just switch permanently to Firefox. I have all of my passwords saved in Safari so I'd rather not do that though. Please help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

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.

Adobe Flash Player not working with OS X Yosemite

Since I upgraded to the latest version of Yosemite, flash player will not work with any browsers. The latest version is: 10.10.2 (14C109).
When I install flash player all browsers crash or if I try to use them with anything that needs flash player, i.e. YouTube, etc. The only way I can use my browsers if I uninstall flash player.
Yes, I've tried using the latest adobe update, it does not work. Yes, I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, it does not work. I'm at loss right now and puzzled, because I've encountered this issue in the past, but never this severe.
Can someone help me please ???

Adobe flash player not working in Safari

I have never had troubles with Adobe before the most recent update to Safari. Now, I have tried to install Adobe Flash Player 3 times, and I still cannot get it to work. I can open up applications with Firefox without any problems, but this is annoying since I would much rather use Safari.
Any help with this would be Great!!

Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
You do not need Java to view Flash content. The two things are unrelated. Java should not be enabled unless absolutely necessary.

Flash won't work with Maverick

I have tried installing flash several times, downloading updates, managers and still can not get flash to work with Maverick. Is there an update I'm missing or does it just not work with Maverick?

Works just fine. In Safari, Firefox, Opera, iCab, OmniWeb, SeaMonkey, and Chrome.
I assume you're suing Safari:
If Plug-ins are allowed, then I recommend doing a "clean install" using the latest FULL installer: Flash Player 120.0.047 (Mac OS X) and the illustrated instructions here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084

Adobe Flash Player not working on Safari

I am running Safari 5.1.5 on Lion 10.7.3. For about a year now, I have been having trouble running Adobe Flash Player to view videos. I can verify that I have Flash Player 11.2.202.235 installed, but on some (not all) website, most notably ANYTHING.yahoo.com, I just get a button to "Get Adobe Flash Player" even though I already have it. Flash-based ads work fine, it's really just for videos. I end up having to watch the non-working videos on Chrome where they work fine. Any insight into what the issue might be?

Hi Fred....
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the current plugin first.
Then launch Safari.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
