Can Firefox still play locally saved flash games inside of the browser?

I have not been able to play locally saved SWF files ever since update 20 (I have Firefox Beta/25 at the moment). My application options in Flash oclet-steam and Shockwave are both set to always ask (I have also tried to open with Firefox & Shockwave respective menu options), and for some reason the files open in IE 9. My OS is WIndows 7 Home Premium, but I doubt this has much effect on what I am asking for. In case you are in doubt, I can play flash in websites perfectly, but am having trouble playing flash (specifically video games) from my PC library/local system/offline.
EDIT: I have updated to Firefox 26

I take it you're trying to open the files by left-clicking them in Windows Explorer. If so,
# Right-click a SWF file and choose '''Open With''', then '''Choose Default Program'''.
# From the list in the Open With window, select '''Firefox''' and check the box labeled "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file".
# Click the '''OK''' button.
Alternatively, you can simply drag and drop a SWF file onto the Firefox window.
In either case, the Shockwave Flash plug-in must be set to either "Always Activate" or "Ask to Activate" in the Add-ons Manager, Plugins section.

  • Why can't Firefox still not show a pdf properly from within the browser and do we need insufficient and not working add-ons?

    I never succeeded to show a pdf properly in the Firefox browser.
    There is an add-on, but the add-on itself tells you already in most cases that you should download the pdf because it can't show the pdf properly. I can't understand why that is! It makes my live much more complicated, since we have an application running that constantly should be able to show pdf's from within the browser.

    The add-on you are talking about is pdf.js. pdf.js does it best to show you what the pdf's it is given are, but pdf.js is not 100% compatible with all elements that can be put inside a pdf. Another problem pdf.js faces is that many pdf's generated with proprietary software either do not conform to the pdf spec or use proprieatary elements that only pdf readers that the company has designed or partnered with can interpret. I promise you Mozilla doesn't want your life to be any more complicated than it is but sometimes it is simply not possible for pdf.js to read a document when the manufacturer of the program that generated the pdf doesn't play by the rules.

  • Why can i still play my game on my ipad eventhough i only downloaded few kb's of the app?

    Why can i still play my game on my ipad eventhough i only downloaded few kb's of the app?
    I downlaod the app on my pc via itunes, and the i plug my ipad into the charger, then it auto-sync.
    But then i noticed that the game icon appears on my screen. So i clicked it and end up playing it for few hours, eventhough i only downloaded few kb's of the game. I'm still in my confusion. Does it have anything to do with the icloud?

    It is from Zynga, and it's called Castleville Legends. It says it's downloaded in my itunes, but it does nothing when I click on it. I have a Toshiba Notebook, does that make a difference? Do really need an "I" Pad ONLY?

  • Lastest Flash (16.0.0.305) is installed but Firefox still says I need Flash for most videos. Why?

    I have installed flash multiple times, restarted Firefox, and everything I can think of but every time I come to a page that uses flash player it STILL Says I need Flash player to see the video or whatever is using flash. This has been going on for a while now since the last Firefox update.

    In your More System Details, there is a mystery line that just says "Flash" while the official line says "Shockwave Flash". Could you use by test page to generate a list of the full information for each plugin so it's easier to figure out which one is the stranger?

    Scroll down a bit to the plugin list. It's the "Description" line that will say just "Flash". What is the name of the plugin?

  • I have quicktime  player 7.7.2. A relative video clips from his phone. Previously they downloaded with both video and audio. As of Sept. 30 only the audio downloads, yet Quicktime still plays older saved video/audio clips. Help?

    I have Quicktime Player 7.7.2. A relative has been sending video clips from his phone since June, and until Sept. 30 both the video and audio would download. SInce that date only the audio downloads, yet I can still open and play the older saved videos just fine. I tried looking at QuickTime help info available. One place said something about purchasing Quick Pro for use with 7.7.2, but if I need that, why can I still open older saved videos? Thanks for any help.

    I'm adding more information:
    in Finder, my iMovie folders are all visible and accessible.  When I click on a clip from iMovie Events folder, Quicktime opens and plays the clip.  ALL my video is not missing - it just isn't showing up in the Event Library!
    This happened all of a sudden, while I was working on iMovie project (on both computers).
    All my Projects are intact, and play when I open them. 

  • Hello, can I still play Garageband 9 projects/loops in Garageband 10, and how? Thank you

    Hello,
    Can I still play GarageBand 9 projects/loops in GarageBand 10, and how?
    Do I need to re-install iLife11 to be able to play GarageBand 9 projects/loops in 11?
    Thanks in advance

    GarageBand 10 needs the loops and instruments from Garageband ´09 or ´11 installed to be able to play the older projects with all sounds. Otherwise instruments and loops may be missing. If you uninstalled GarageBand completely, reinstall iLife '11 to be able to use the older instruments and loops in GarageBand 10. before you install GarageBand 10.0.
    GarageBand 10. comes only with a basic set of instruments and needs to be expanded by an in-app purchase. If you have GarageBAnd '11 installed, you should be able to get the in-app purchase for free.   Expanding GarageBand for Mac (v10.0) content with an in-app purchase

  • Macbook Pro 13.3" 2.8G   8G RAM is very hot when playing web base flash game =.="

    I used to play web based flash game, and could open up to 5 different browsers (with the same game) each time with my old notebook 1.8GHz + 4G RAM (Win 7). However, changing to my new macbook pro 13.3 2.8GHz + 8G RAM (OSX Lion), even opening the same flash game with 1 browser. The keyboard will be soon very hot. If open 2 browsers, there will be noisy fan sound and keyboard will become even hotter =.="
    Could engineer in Apple solve this issue??? or any suggestion???

    Mahdi411,
    if Candy Crush is a graphics-intensive game, then your MacBook Pro will consume energy (and generate heat as a side effect) to meet those graphics demands. The fans run quickly to expel as much as heat as possible, so that your MacBook Pro’s components don’t bake. The additional airflow generates more noise.

  • The screen on my ipod nano 2nd generation turns black. It still plays music. I've tried resetting the ipod to clear the black screen and the screen goes back to it's normal state but after a few minutes the screen goes black again.

    The screen on my ipod nano, 2nd generation, turns black. It stills plays music. I've tried resetting the ipod to clear the black and the screen goes back to it's original state. But after a few minutes the screen turns black again, while the music is still playing. What can I do about this?

    That's just the iPod's backlight timer going off, signaling the iPod's backlight to turn off to conserve battery power.

  • Hi, I got the problem with Firefox 27.0.1. I can not run Selenium on Firefox after login a website for automation testing. The browser is not responding.

    Hi, I got the problem with Firefox 27.0.1. I can not run Selenium on Firefox after login a website for automation testing. The browser is not responding. However when I close Nunit, the page is back to be normal. The title is returned to the name of website without "not responding". I sure this problem did not happen on Firefox version 26. I just got this problem when firefox upgrading automatically to version 27. Please help me fix this problem because it is very important for my work. If you need more information pls send your concerns via my email address.
    Thanks so much

    Hi, the work around suggested above should put you in working mode in the meantime. However to help investigate the issue it is possible to analyze what is not loading or taking a long time by analyzing the network traffic or http headers of the Nunit web page.

    Hello royalaqua,
    I do think you should ask yourself if upgrading to Lion is the right course to take.
    Snow Leopard is an excellent OS and Lion has literally been frozen out after barely a year.   Remember too that some of your apps may not work with Lion (those that have Rosetta, for example) so that could mean more new purchases.   Plus you may need to uprate your RAM too.

    If your computer qualifies - MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues  
    If it does, call Apple Customer Relations or print out a copy of the article and bring it in to the repair shop. 

  • If I cancel my Adobe subscription, can I still access my data that is stored in the cloud?

    If I cancel my Adobe subscription, can I still access my data that is stored in the cloud? Just curious....and what about retrieving data from the cloud? How can that be accomplished?

    Your storage is tied to your subscription, so no, you won't be able to access your data after you quit. I'm not clear on what you are asking otherwise - you can download any content from the cloud by simply clicking on the relevant links/ preview images.
