After installing an Adobe Flash update, Firefox opens and stays black screen

Firefox was working perfectly yesterday. When I booted up this morning, Adobe Flash Player asked to run an update. I did this. Firefox now opens and stays black. I have tried a reset from safe mode and a full reinstall. Neither worked

Hi There!
I would suggest you remove windows from your PC and install Ubuntu. This will resolve most of the issues you are facing or it might be great to find a very large hammer, lift it high above your head and SLAM it down on your PC will surly make you feel better and if you video record it and upload to Youtube others will love it too!

A 2nd copy of firefox opens with a black screen when opening Firefox

After Firefox loads with the home pages, a second copy of Firefox also opens with one black screen. The black screen has the same url as the 1st tab in the 1st copy of Firefox, with one addition as follows:
1st copy, 1st tab url: www.newsmax.com
2nd copy (no tabs) url: www.newsmax.com/mainpop.htm
I'm using Windows XP, sp3, and Firefox version 10.0.1.
It does the same on another desktop with Windows 7, same Firefox version(10.0.1).

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

After installing zone Alarm extreme 10, firefox.exe 32 stays running in the background after closing, making it not possible to open it again.

After installing the latest Zone Alarm Extreme v10, on windows 7 x64, when I close firefox, the window closes but firefox.exe 32 remains running in the background, which makes that when I want to open firefox again, after about a minute I get the error that an instance of firefox is still running. I go to task manager and end task of firefox.exe 32 and then open firefox again.
This is now happening regularly.

This seemed to come out of the blue, very much as described by anima42. I also am a Ubuntu 10.04 user. I have pondered on the first reply above, and though I don't, and didn't, use Tabberwocky, I was using Tab Mix Plus. Having removed this, the problem seems to have gone away. Another possible clue as to what went wrong: I use a constant Firefox profile located in my home directory. I dabbled with Ubuntu 11.04 a week or so ago, which runs (I think) a more updated Firefox. This Firefox was operating on my default profile, as you would. It may have broken something so it now doesn't play nicely with the 10.04 setup. Just surmising.

Can't install the Adobe Flash update

I now know that I need to install the 11.3.300.262 version of Adobe Flash, but no matter what I do, it only seems to install the 11.3.300.257 update...even when it says it's the former one.
Should I try uninstalling Flash player, and then reinstalling?
Thanks.

Additionally, you can try to determine the actual version by right-clicking on a Flash video > '''About'''. You can also check Windows Control Panel > Flash Player > Advanced.

Unable to install new adobe flash update -- tried several times

I have tried numerous times to install the new Adobe Flash player. Although it registers on my downloads, I am unable to bring up the site. Several websites require this download. What can I do to download this plug in successfully?

It's best to download from Adobe's official site:

Firefox opens to a black screen / Previous post is not helping

Product Detected
Intel® HD Graphics 3000
I have thoroughly (I think) read the other posts / questions regarding this issue. Like others, I'm experience a completely black screen when opening the new version of Firefox. I can't do (or click on) anything...and it won't open in safe mode.
I'm not very tech-savvy...but I did manage to get to the point where I had Intel do an auto-check to see about updating the graphics card (which was the other recommended fix).
I have a four-year-old Lenovo ThinkPad, BTW. I got the following message:
Current Driver Installed
8.15.10.2321
A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer.
Is there anything else I can do before I contact Lenovo (never fun). I guess not using Firefox is the obvious answer here...but it is my favorite browser. Urgh. Thanks in advance for any advice.

hello, what is the exact product name/number of your thinkpad?

After using hibernation, it does not start up and has black screen

My computer was fine for 2 yrs or so,now it will not startup! After it was in hibernation, I came back a few hrs later and turned on the power and it has a black screen. The only things that are lit are the left side blue dot and the f12 button.
This computer worked perfectly until today, except it tok longer sometimes to come out of hibernation.
I tries a hard reset according to what the HP website said, nothing worked!!
Can anyone help ant tell me how to get this thing to work??
Thanks,
John

Hey wealthylives,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
As the computer screen is remaining black/blank after the hard reset, I would suggest the following document 'Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot'. Please follow through the steps outlined in order.
Please let me know the outcome of the troubleshooting.
Thank you.
I worked on behalf of HP

After installing the Adobe Flash 10,1,85,3 multiple times; I still have no volume

All of the issues in the Mozilla / Flash Player support & knowledge base don't seem to help. This IS the same version as IE for my computer; but I cannot discern 2 different Flash Player versions on my computer.

Did you use the Flash uninstaller?
Flash Player uninstall: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 (this will remove the Firefox Flash plugin and the ActiveX control for IE)
Clear the Flash cookies and settings.

When I installed the most recent Adobe Flash update (MacBook Pro, OSX), all my app tabs and recent sessions were cleared. Is there a fix for this?

This has happened a couple times when I installed updates to Firefox or Flash, but most recently: I am running Firefox 7.0.1 on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.8. I installed the Adobe Flash update to Flash 11 and when I restarted Firefox, all my saved tabs were cleared, including the App tabs I'd pinned.

What's the URL of the page?
In the mean time clear the cache and reload the page.

Download Adobe Flash update on Mac with Yosemite

I am attempting to install the Adobe Flash update on my Mac Book Pro with Yosemite. On every attempt the download bar stops at 30%. I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstall it and I get the same result. I would appreciate help in resolving this issue.

I just downloaded the installer... took all of 3 seconds to download. It's only a 1.2MB file.
Check to see if it has downloaded it anyways. Should see something like AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_17au_Itrosxd_aaa_aih.dmg if it's there, quit Safari from the menu bar, run the installer.
If it's not there, try a different browser. If that works, it's something in your Safari that's stopping it... could be an extension you have installed or adware.
You can also try a direct download from the Adobe site: (Under still having problems)

Sometimes when i have firefox open and i run a game in full screen mode, firefox will prevent application focus on the fullscreen game

With firefox open and a full screen game open, if i alt-tab out of the full screen game and then try to click back into the game the game will minimize and i will be back on my desktop. This issue can sometimes be fixed by clicking repeatedly as the full screen game tries to occupy focus. Most of the time the window minimizes and i am back at my desktop. This problem continues to occur until i close firefox.

Force quit just the game itself.
Command + option + esc
It's like control + alt + delete on Windows.

Hate to suggest this, but you need to ask in the Flash forum. This forum is for Acrobat.
