Cannot install Adobe update: no yellow bar, no "Install missing plugins"

Following advice in FAQs I went to Adobes test page: no yellow bar appeared, nor a box "Install missing plugins". Trying to install Adobe Flash 10 leads to a message to close down Firefox.

Old instructions, that "yellow bar" was used on older versions of Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

I am trying to download Adobe reader latest version and when I hit download a bar appears at the top of the screen telling me to install missing plugins but firefox states plugins up to date what can I do?

I am unable to download Adobe reader to update my system as I only have version 7 on my computer. Normally I would be able to download direct from Adobe and my system would update but when I try to download a message bar appears which states on the left hand side "additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page" and on the right hand side there is a button which states "install missing plugins". When I click on the button a dialog box appears which states "no suitable plugins where found with a message next to a manual install button "unknown plugin(application/getplusplusadobe16299)

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Missing plugin for Quicktime but when click on install missing plugin, it says is updated. Cannot hear sound on my work sms site any longer.

On work sms text site - sound no longer is available. It indicates missing plugun for Quicktime. When clicking on the tab to install missing plugin, Firefox appears to install. Upon checking, all plugins are up to date but sound still no longer works.

The longer this thread continues, the more ancillary comments you throw in that aren't directly pertinent to your problem with your DVR software not working with Firefox 4.0. Sorry, I don't intend to continue with this discussion.
I do agree that ''something'' needs to be done better with regards to plugins for Firefox, but I do disagree with you as to whose responsibility that ''something'' is.

Cannot install xmlp plugin for word 2007 on Windows 7 64bit

I cannot install xmlp plugin for word 2007 on Windows 7 64bit. I keep getting a "java runtime not installed" error. I have applied the latest updates to word. Is there a fix to this?

Hi,
Even if you use a 64bit OS, the office version could be either 32bit or 64bit. Which one do you use? If already installed a 64bit version Office, try to switch to a 32bit one, because it will work fine and might solve your problem too.

It shows me that I need to install missing plugins when I click on it it shows that I don't have any missing plugins i reinstalled it three times please help me

I had a problem opening tumblr so i reinstalled firefox and now whenever open a website it show a bar says additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page then i click on the button next to it that says install missing plugins and it says no suitable plugins are found please please please help me as soon as you can i love firefox but now using it is too hard .

Hi abudardaa, I can only think of one plugin that nearly every page requires...
Do you have the Flash player installed and enabled? You can test on Adobe's page here:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Could you also try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

How can I disable the Install Missing Plugin alert?

I just asked this, clicked on Post This Question, was told an email would be sent to me, but the email I see was sent 5 min. before I posted. So I'm posting this again. Sorry if it's a duplicate.
I use slow dial-up and can't keep any flash players on my computer. Every time I click on anything, even in my Yahoo! Mail homepage, this alert appears: Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page. To the right is a link to Install Missing Plugins. I click the x to close it, and, when I click on something else, it appears again. It's very frustrating -- is there some way that I can disable this alert. I run Windows XP. If I have any of the plug-ins listed in the Installed plugins window below, I'm unaware of it, other than Adobe Acrobat 5.

Thanks for replying. However I have tried entering about:config in the address bar with no quotes, with three lines (copying what you typed), with a regular double lined quotes, and with single lined quotes. Each one opens a Google page. How do I get my computer to treat it as a request for the about:config page?
First I had to ask Google what a "location bar" is, and found that it's the address bar. So I did all this using the address bar, not the Google search bar to enter about:config. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to correct it.

How do you find out which plugins firefox will install BEFORE you click 'install missing plugins'?

How do I determine which plugins firefox will install BEFORE I click 'install missing plugins'?
I don't just want to install some unknown plugins. Isn't there a way to determine the plugins that firefox will isntall? Can't it present me with a list of plugins that is going to be installed, before I click the button?

Did you look in the Windows Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs?

I don't see the message "click to install missing plugins" when new ones are required.

Firefox 6 and above does not display "click to install missing plugins" message when I visit AT&T game page. How do I fix this?

Thanks for your reply. Both values are false.

Firefox 15.0.1 not recognizing Adobe Flash Plugin 11.4.402.265 - I have unistalled, reinstalled and still "install missing plugin" numerous sites. Help.

Adobe website check page asking for missing plugin after installing into Windows 7. I have used Adobe uninstallers and repeated the whole process several times. Firefox has not accepted/taken the plugin at all. Only help appears for older Adobe Flash.

I've been trying to find a solution to the same problem for several hours now. I restarted my computer this morning, as it was running a bit slugglish. The restart seemed to initiate both a Firefox update and a Flash update to the latest versions. I've uninstalled Flash several times with the Flash uninstaller. I've even down-graded to 10.3. Same result. Firefox simply isn't recognizing the install. Whether it's 10.3 or the latest 11.4, it doesn't exist in the Add-ons manager. I've installed the latest real Player as well, in case it had something to do with the issue. No apparent connection.
Any ideas?

How to install missing plugins for flash player

Hi, My name is rebecca and i am in school for Computer information technology. I have a Dell Intel Pentium Processor. It has a 32 bit operationg system and 4.0 gb of ram I just recently added mozilla firefox to my computer then i tried to download Adobe flash player to my computer on mozilla firefox but the top of the screen always states Install Missing Plug-ins. However it does not let me know what those plugins are please help me to get adobe flashplayer on my mozilla firefox?

Hi, First make sure you are using the Administrator Account. Download and SAVE to your Desktop this Flash Player Installer for Firefox:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
Close all browser windows, disable an app in the system tray that uses Flash, messenger services, Anti-Virus that runs in realtime.
RUN the Installer from your Desktop and then Reboot your computer.
Test here and if you see the animation and the version number, then Flash Player has been Installed correctly.

Hope this works for you.

Additional plug ins are required to display media but when I click the tab to install missing plugins why does it tell me there ar no suitable plugins to install.

When I am on Amazon.com, a message appears that additional plug ins are required but when I click on button to "install missing" plug-ins, it tells me there are no suitable plugins. I have downloaded "FreePriceAlerts" and a bar usually appears and I believe whatever plug-in is missing is preventing this from showing. When I use IE I have no problem.

Can you post a link to the page where you have that problem?
