Do IE and Firefox have their own versions of Flash Player

I have a very basic question. I have IE and Firefox. It looks like you need two versions of Flash Player, one for IE and another for Firefox. Is this true. If it is true, will the Firefox version overwrite the IE version or visa versa, when you install the Flash Player versions? In other words will they automatically coexist without messing each other? Thank you.

There are two versions of Flash Player
ActiveX for Internet Explorer
plugin for all other browsers
The two versions can coexist (there are different files for the two versions: Flashxx.ocx for IE, NPSWFxx.dll for other browsers).

I have an older version of flash player in my new computer and I can't uninstall it it is system 32 and I have system 64 I am not much of a computer person and need help I keep getting pop ups saying there is a bad image

I have an older version of flash player that seems to be in my computer_16_0_0_305.exe and it says bad image
I could not uninstall it and put a new one in. I keep getting this pop up 2 and 3 times.

Hi,
The Flash Player installer is a universal installer for both 32 and 64-bit systems. On a 64-bit OS, it installs both versions, on a 32-bit OS, it installs only the 32-bit version. I'm confused by why you think you only have the 32-bit version. Please provide more information, including screenshots (How to post a screenshot in the forum) so that we may further troubleshoot your situation.
Thank you.

I have a newer version of flash player installed then what is listed as the most recent version??

Hello,
I am checking the version i have installed of flash player via the adobe version check option at the site and i have version 11.8.800.94 and when i check the list of the latest versions of Adobe, i see 11.7.700.169 listed as being the latest vversion. How can i have a version installed that's above that? I haven't installed a beta version, never signed up for beta testing and all i did was install the latest version of flash player via the website.
I am wondering what this is cause recently when viewing videos on youtube, my videos tend to hang up or end halfway through and think the video ended when it's not. My guess now is that i have sumhow obtained a version of flash player that's not correct and thus why the videos go haywire now. Re-installing flash player sets it back to the 11.8 version again, so that didn't work.
Any information any1 might have that can solve this is much appreciated.

11.8.800.94 is the latest version for Windows and Mac. 11.8.800.115 is the latest beta version. http://helpx.adobe.com/en/flash-player/release-note/fp_118_air_38_release_notes.html

I'm back, I have the current version of flash player, but...

I've checked every where I can. I have the current flasher version, but if I open a page w/ a video on it, either nothing happens or I get the "load the latest version of flash player to view.
Any ideas, suggestions, ???
Thanks for your help(s) !!!

You may have to delete Flash and reinstall it. But if you are sure that you have the latest version then open up Safari > Preferences > Security and check that plug-ins are enabled.

Why can't I download and install successfully your latest version of flash player?

I have tried repeatedly over the last 3 weeks to download the latest version of your program. The program with which I wish to use the flash player says that I need to download the latest version. I have downloaded it. I have installed it. Everything says that this has been successfully done, but yet it still says I need to download flash player. It doesn't seem to work. Please help.

Have downloaded latest version of Flash Player but still can't view portfolio documents - Help?

Just see grey screen and no documents are visible. Has anyone else encountered this?

Nobody has mentioned any operating system.
On Windows there are two Flash Player installers:
the ActiveX installer, which installs the add-on for Internet Explorer, PowerPoint, etc.
the Plugin installer, which installs the add-on for other browsers, Adobe Reader, etc.

My kids are on my email account. I want them to now have their own accounts. Can they still use all of my music and apps?

I have my kids' iPods on my account. I want to put them on their own accounts. Is there a way I can do this without having them lose all of the stuff on my account? And can they still sync things that I download if they're using my computer?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your children are under 13, you should open 2 new accounts for yourself and let them use it. They can use these ID's for iCloud and so have their own email! contacts! calendars etc, but still share your original ID for iTunes for apps, music, etc. You can continue to sync them with your computer.

Firefox is not allowing me to install the latest version of Flash Player, or older versions that would allow me to open youtube etc. any suggestions?

Hi there, Firefox not accepting latest version of Flash Player, or older versions that would allow me to open youtube and is continuouing to block it. any suggestions?

'''''"... Firefox not accepting latest version of Flash Player ..."'''''
Firefox shouldn't keep you from installing Flash; Firefox needs to be closed before attempting to install Flash - Adobe rules for installing Flash.
Also, it seems that you have a real old version of Flash installed.
'''Shockwave Flash 9.0 r45'''
Two versions of Flash Plugins installed may confuse Firefox as to which version to use.
You should download and run the Adobe Flash uninstaller program before attempting to install Flash.

Their is a newer version of Flash Player already installed

Flash Player automatically updates. Today I tried to use Facebook to upload some photos. Facebook gave me a warning that said I needed the latest update to Flash Player. I went to the Adobe website to try to update the Adobe Flash Player. When I try to run the installer, it gets as far as "Installing" and then stops saying Note: Newer version already installed. The Troubleshooting page on the Flash Player support site says I have Flash Player 14.0.0.101 and the newest version is 13.0.0. I have not manually installed or updated anything, except for trying to install the update after receiving the original error messages.

This means you have a beta version of Flash Player installed. Uninstall it with http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/flashplayer/flashplayer14_uninstall_m ac.dmg
then download and install the release version http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_13_osx.dmg

How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?

While we always recommend using the latest version of Flash Player, sometimes problems are encountered in a new release that were not present in a previous release. If you are unable to work around these problems and they block functionality you rely on, rolling back to a previous version might be required until an update is made available. This FAQ will walk you through the steps required for reverting back to a previous version of Flash Player.
Please note that Google Chrome provides it's own version of Flash Player. For more details on this, along with instructions for using a version other than the default with Chrome, please see: Flash Player with Google Chrome.

1. Follow the steps in the "How do I do a clean install of Flash Player" FAQ, but stop at the end before installing the most recent version
2. Install the latest Flash Player ESR release.
The Flash Player ESR release provides a player with all known security patches applied.
If downloading from the Flash Player archives, please note that you will be downloading a .zip file that will contain installers for all operating systems.
Unzip the archive and navigate into the appropriate folder (you can safely ignore the folder that ends with "_debug").
Run the appropriate installer for your operating system and browser.
If installing for Internet Explorer, run the installer with "winax" in the file name.
For Windows, running the executable that ends with .exe is recommended.
When presented with the dialog that allows you to select your update method, select "Notify me to install updates".

Hey Chris, thanks for all the keeping up with us and stuff. I have an issue and i'm not sure if this was already discussed (if so sorry). Windows 8 IE 10 I'm getting an error tying to downgrade my customers to the beta. The message i'm getting is
The installation encountered errors:
Your Microsoft Explorer browser includes the latest version on the Adobe Flash Player built-in. Windows Update will inform you when new versions of Flash Player are available.
I have done my research and I cannot find how to fix this issue. I have ran the uninstaller multiple times and restarted blah blah all the goodies. It will not let me install the beta.
Please help..... any idea how to get beta running on hundreds of my customers machines?
The beta work's great it seems like and I wouldn't mind installing the beta on all their machines till the final release (which seems like a few weeks away)
Thanks again, Tim
