Can I install the Flash Plugin for Firefox, and the Adobe Flash application program, on the same machine?

PC with Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Firefox 33.1
Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223 installed as a Firefox plug-in.
Everything performs perfectly, and I particularly like the fact that when I encounter a file (usually video) on the web, I can ACTIVATE ADOBE FLASH on a once-only basis, rather than ALWAYS FOR THIS SITE.
So here is my question. I encountered a .SWF file on the web, and played it through the plugin. I then downloaded the file to my desktop. From the desktop, there does not seem to be a way to play it through the Firefox Plug-in. Is this correct - am I missing something?
In order to play the file, do I need to install a copy of Shockwave Flash or Adobe Flash Player as a standalone application program on my machine? Is it OK to have both the standalone application and the Firefox plugin on one machine? By the way, I am not interested in using WMP as the player.
Thanks
Bill

VLC Player looks like a nice application, and it will play FLV files. However, it will not play .SWF files, which was the subject of my initial query. I admit that I am a little confused about the difference between .SWF and .FLV, since they are both called Flash files. My bad. I would love to find a standalone player that will handle both. Nothing fancy required - just play the file!
As a side note, I downloaded VLC Player from the link you suggested. It installed easily and worked well. However, a Google search reveals that there are a number of sources for corrupted versions of the player, which contain malware. Thank you, Fred, for a straight steer.

Hello, recently I read in an article that the Skype plugin for Firefox was banned so I went to uninstall the plugin but it would not allow me; What do I do, how do I get rid of the plugin?

to try to uninstall it manually, I went to computer > Uninstall or change a program > "selected" the skype toolbar and then selected unistall but then it comes back with an error message saying "the folder path 'entire copy' contains an invalid character.'

Hi,
You can try to [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ download the latest full installer] and upgrade. Please make sure to right-click the file and '''Run as administrator''' to begin the upgrade installation.
You may also want to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information?s=backup&r=1&e=sph&as=s backup] personal data/folder. Firefox stores the personal profile/data separate from its internal files. [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder & Files]

I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox

I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox (Firefox version 1.5.0). I've tried to install the latest version 9.0.16.0 from the Adobe Download Centre. There are no error messages or warnings during the installation.
The Flash plugin for IE is working fine.
I've tried everything, uninstall the pre-installed version (7), re-install FireFox, uninstall all plugins, download and install everything over and over..... still the same problem.

Hi Stephan,
Thans for your reaction and suggestion.
I've cleaned up the register, deleted all the macromedia and flash keys.
Restarted, installed Flash plugin again, IE is working fine (again) but Firefox (and Opera!) only showing the message "Flash plugin needed" when I try to display a site with Flash content.
I have the same combination working on several desktops, does it have anything to do with te pre-installed software from Toshiba?
I have two Toshiba Sattelite's P100 with both exactly the same problems! Flash on IE working, Opera an Firefox NOT.

[SOLVED] Can't Find IcedTea7 Java Plugin for Firefox

Hello everybody,
I'm new to Arch (have used Linux for some time but never got too deep into configurations and such). I've always just used proprietary versions of Java in the past, even on Linux, but now that I have a really cutomized Arch box, I'd like to try and support OpenJDK+IcedTea.
I followed the Wiki instructions by installing jre7-openjdk, jdk7-openjdk, and icedtea-web-java7 packages. All I want is to link to the plugin for firefox. However, I don't actually see the .so plugin file anywhere, nor do I know how to see where pacman installs things.
I have a folder /usr/share/icedtea-web/ that contains the files about.jar, about.jnlp, netx.jar, and plugin.jar.
I remember .jar files are Java archives, but I actually have no idea what to do with them or how to use them as I'm not too familiar with Java (but I do run browser applets using the plugin).
I apologize for my noobness in this, but can anybody help me figure out how to find or acquire or extract the .so plugin file for firefox?
Thanks,
Dave

Great, thank you so much! Actually, it was already fixed before I read your reply, but it's still informative (I wasn't sure how to find file lists for pacman packages).
I just removed and reinstalled all the java packages and it worked. I might have done it in the wrong order or something when I did it the first time. I wasn't sure if the web test on the Java website checked for the Oracle plugin specifically or just a valid JRE implementation, but it worked, so I guess OpenJDK is working great so far.

Flash plugin for Firefox: 2, 3 speed audio?

Hi all,
I am having problem with audio using the flash plugin for Firefox. The video
is OK but the audio seems to be played at double or triple speed, which sounds
funy.
Here is the address:
http://news.com.com/1606-2_3-6052333.ht … &subj=news
Anybody else had this problem before?

its playing in the background right now and sounds fine. Motion is a little jerky but acceptable.
using the 2.6.16 kernel from testing firefox from current over a DSL line.
Is the rtc module loaded? Otherwise at a loss (as usual)
BTW, that VW system is the last thing I need in my truck. Would rather have a cup holder that works and a first gear that does not lose sync.

How can I install tab effect plugin in firefox 3.6.17 ?

When I install tab effect plugin in firefox 3.6.17, its showing that this plugin are not available in that version. Please suggest me that how can I get that plugin. .. Thanks

On Mac, it's '''Firefox > Preferences'''.
But I'm not sure what your problem is. Right now, I'll guess that you are being asked to allow cookies.
In the [[Options window - Privacy panel|Privacy panel]], make sure ''Keep until'' is not set to "''Ask me every time''"

Flash plugin for Firefox: it has trouble after 6-9 hours!

Hi,
Vista32 sp2, 4GB Ram, ALL Adobe Flash plugin for FF versions, now 11.1.102.55.
perhaps dxdiag.txt needed?
Issue:
when Firefox 3.6 (in the past) or 8.0 (now) remains open, after 6-9 hours I become issues with Flash plugin for FF.
ALL YT videos (240p up to 1080p) playback with jumpiness!! with or without acceleration.
ActiveX for IE9 works fine on the same machine. No problem with Silverlight in FF.
Solution: kill the flash plugin process in task manager >refresh the YT video's page > playback again ok.
why the flash plugin is fatigued after 6 or 9 hours?
is it able to handle good the memory usage?
May you want to suggest me a workaround to get the video's palyback smoothly even if Firefox is running a lot of time (without killing the process in task manager)?
or could I to wait for an update of flash plugin in the future that adresses this issue?
Thanks a lot in advance.
best regards.

Hi,
Thank you both for your reply!
@Campbell:
the same effects with or without having the flash acceleration enabled.
I dont know if I am enough able to file a bug request.
I have done (hopefully it is right?
I warmly hope that the Adobe Engineers will read and reproduce my issue and they may want to send me an email if the issue will be resolved.
this were wonderfull.
my OS/hardware seems not too old
no problem in watching/editing full HD content.
if you mean that my bug report looks correct and exhaustive, please forward him to the developers.
(I hope that the report will not be closed, even if it becomes poor votes). thanks.
@ ɹəuəllıʍ :
Yes the same problem in Firefox 8.0 too
(in my old FF 3.6: no issues regarding the jumpiness in Silverlight, therefore I think that this was/is perhaps an issue in "Flash player for FF" only: jumpiness after 6-9 hours usage).
But the new FF 8.0 offers the same behaviour after 6-9 hours.

Also, although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].

How can I install the PnH plugin for firefox?

Hi, I'm actually trying to install the ca certificates for burp suite. There is another method outlined in the instructions but that involves going into the advanced options which... is not on newer versions of the browser?

The standard build of Firefox for Linux definitely has an Advanced panel in the Preferences dialog, here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences > Advanced > Certificates mini-tab
But... some builds may be different.

Help installing Latest Flash Plugin for Firefox

Hey Guys,
I have a really quick question. I am having trouble installing the last flash software manually and was wondering whether or not someone would be willing to give me a quick link to an .xpi version of the installation package.
I would like to install the plug-in from within firefox using the Add-on Manager.
Thanks so much for your help.
Already tried installing it automatically and of course using the executable file.
Please let me know how this can be done.
I appreciate it!

We don't have an xpi version available, have you tried installing from the links on this FAQ?
Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player for Windows or Macintosh?
Thanks,
Chris

Cant install flash player for firefox and steam

hi
as i stated in the topic i cant seem to install flashplayer for those 2.
just to give you all a general information i have a core i5 760 cpu on asus p7p55d-e pro motherboard with 4gb of memory and gtx 480 as my system. when i used internet explorer flash was working properly it also works properly in google chrome but it doesnt play movies in steam client leaving a message in the middle that i need the latest version and i cant seem to install firefox plugin anyway too it redirects me to do it manualy and thats where problems start.
when i go to flash website from ie or chrome it shows i have the latest version available installed but it doestn work with steam and firefox.
what i noticed is when i download the latest version of flashplayer installer for windows 7 64bit either for ie or for other browsers and try to install it including running it as administrator the installer doesnt do anything that leads to install . what i have noticed is after i confirm in windows that i want to install it i get this little circle as my cursor for about 1 min randomly showing up and turning into normal pointer on top of that when i turned on task manager to see why is that happening i noticed that flash installer starts in services tab one two or even three times at a time and closes itself to do it again one or 2 and one again. also noticed it showes few coppies of flash installer that appear in that time in my temp directory on disc C with weird names like quote:
"install_flashplayer11x64ax_aih_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_ 1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_ 1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1"
all in all im not so much bothered about firefox as i dont use it anymore but i wish i could install flash for steam
does anyone knows solution to my little problem ?
p.s i tried ussing that flash installer in windows safe mode with no positive result.

Download the proper installer from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550

My adobe flash plugin for firefox is not working? I have windows 7

I have uninstalled - reinstalled, I have checked plugins - and when I run the plugincheck via mozilla it says it needs up dated. ?? I have windows 7. I have specifically downloaded the version for firefox flashplaer 16 and windows / browser is still not recognizing it. This has been an issue I have been trying to correct now for 3 days and is sucking up my time as a designer working from my home. I'm very disappointed in the creation and issue of this product. Please help.

It looks like you have two Flash Plugins installed for Firefox.
Flash
Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0
I'm curious what that first one labeled simply as "Flash" has for a description in the add-ons manager. Does it say anything about Lightspark?

[SOLVED] Openjdk installed, but no plugin for Firefox

Hello,
I installed openjdk using:
pacman -S openjdk6
but I don't see any plugin installed in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin.
[root@univers ~]# ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
total 10360
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10606256 21 fév 22:00 libflashplayer.so
Also, the about:plugins shows only flashplayer, which works fine.
Any idea?
Thank you.
