Does firefox for mobile (on android) support adobe flash player?

I wish to view videos on you tube using adobe flash player from my HTC Desire running android 2.2, but need to know if this browser supports adobe flash player.

'''Update''': Firefox for Android now includes supports for Flash content. You'll need the Adobe Flash plugin, which is no longer available in the app market, but you can still download it directly from Adobe. For details, see [[How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?]]

  • Does apple (specifically iPad and iPhone) support adobe flash player

    I'm trying to figure out if Adobe Flash Player is compatible with the iPhone and iPad.  Or if there is an app for Adobe Flash.  I'm taking a course that requires Flash to access the course materials

    It didn't sound like it.  When I went in and had a "chat" with the representative she simply said that Flash would have to be installed and that the pop up blocker should be off.  So, I really dont' need an app to watch videos really ...
    You do need an app if you want to watch Flash videos produced by someone who has also created an app to let iOS viewers see the same content; in that case you'd use the app produced by that developer. Or, you need an app of some sort to watch those same Flash videos if the developer has not created an iOS app to play his content, in that case one created by someone else to more generically play (some) Flash content.
    There are a range of them out there, varying in form and content, and no one of them is "best". You simply have to try them out with the content you are trying to see and, with luck, you'll find something that works for you.
    And finally, you are quite typically asking your main question in the wrong way. It is not and never was a matter of Apple not 'supporting' Flash, or not 'allowing' Flash content on their devices. Flash doesn't work that way, it's not a mere switch that Apple can turn on or off. It is, instead, an application (reader) which is produced solely by Adobe and has to be licensed from them and them alone, using their proprietary software standards. After literally years of effort, with Apple and Adobe working closely together, Adobe had never been able to produce a version of Flash which worked well enough on mobile devices for Apple to allow it onto their system.
    In fact, as I recall the history, the first version of Mobile Flash which worked even halfway well on any mobile devices wasn't released and available until around November '10, and even then was acceptable only when used with a specially produced version of the Android OS which was compatible with only a limited number of machines out there. That would have been 7+ months after the iPad was first released, and about 3 1/2 years after the iPhone came out.
    Up to that point the Android forums were full of people complaining about the choppy, grainy, battery-chomping performance of Flash on their systems. For that matter, you continue to find those same threads on those same forums today, albeit not so much as before. It's not merely coincidental that Adobe has decided to slowly walk away from their Flash cash cow as the world around them moves away from large fixed systems into mobile devices.

  • Does Firefox for mobile support xul?

    Does Firefox for mobile support xul file? If not, can I build Firefox to support this on mobile? Where is the build instruction?

    Firefox mobile uses XUL and you can use that along with CSS and JavaScript to create extensions. However since Firefox 4 you cannot load XUL from a website. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_Remote_XUL

  • TS1702 Why does iPad not support adobe flash player

    Why does the Ipad not support Adobe Flash Player ?

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
      1. Puffin
      2. SkyFire
      3. Photon Flash
      4. Browse2Go
      5. Swifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • Really? Again? "The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player"

    My browser is firefox.
    "The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player" is the incessant problem I've had many times updating Flash.
    Come on guys, this is getting beyond ridiculous. The install always stops at 55% exactly, and never completes, leaving me to abandon Firefox for Chrome. I mucked about the last half a dozen times this happened during the update and just by sheer accident it managed to install, but it's been 2 hours of similar mucking about and I'm now getting nowhere.
    This has been a persistent problem and affected many firefox users for years now, as I've seen both by my own experience and by searching google. Isn't there a way you all can provide a single SIMPLIFIED solution to this issue, either by coordinating with firefox or by providing a Firefox "unique" installer? Really it's too infuriating.
    Anyway, before anyone asks, yes I'm logged on as the admin, and yes I've run the installer "as the admin" by right clicking. I've also gone ahead and completely uninstalled flash (and emptied the folders as requested in other threads here) and reinstalled, only to watch the progress bar halt at 55% as per usual and leave me clicking that stupid Chrome icon to have a working flash program.
    Honestly folks, why, after years, does this continue to be a persistent issue? Fix it for the love of God! Are you lot the guys doing the ObamaCare website or what? We firefox folks are loyal to our browser, and installing new versions of flash on this browser is an unnecessary bloody pain in the you know what.
    Sorry for the visible frustration, but if someone could please provide a universal working solution I wouldn't need to be on here whinging and moaning.

    I have had the same problem, but found that doing it this way, eradicated the issue for me-
    I am no computer expert and have experimented over time until i found what has worked for myself. 
    I hope this helps others to resolve this problem.
                                                If you are unsure, then please get somebody that has an idea what they are doing to prevent any accidental deletion of system files!!!!!!!
    This is a Microsoft windows 7 PC, not Apple Mac.
    slightly lengthy, but has stopped me pulling hairs out and stopped swearing at the computer.
    Allowed for me to open e learning that needed adobe to continue with learning.
    Firstly:
    Download the current uninstallerUninstaller for Windows
    Close all browser windows and run the uninstaller
    Restart Windows.
    Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (these directories are probably hidden away from sight)
        (tip: copy and paste ONE of these paths into the path/search bar in an Explorer window)
    C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash (if you are using a 64-bit system)
    which should then display a white page with a top line in bold letters saying something like:-
    "Index of C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\" as shown below:
    This INFORMATION is only needed for the location as to where these files are hidden so DO NOT !!!!! click on any of the folders within this browser, as they will download into the download folder and cause more problems.
    THIS WILL SHOW  WHERE THE FOLDERS ARE HIDING WITHIN THE COMPUTER ITSELF, BUT THEY ARE PROBABLY HIDDEN, UNTIL YOU UNHIDE THE FOLDER(S) THAT YOU NEED.
    MINIMIZE THIS SCREEN TO ONE HALF OF THE SCREEN, AND HAVE THE FOLDER OF THE COMPUTER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN, SO THAT YOU CAN FOLLOW WITHOUT HAVING TO REMEMBER WHAT IS NEEDED TO BE DONE NEXT
    Secondly:
    Go onto DESKTOP
    double click on computer
    then double click on "C"
    go to organize on top left corner under backwards arrow,
    click on "folder and search options"
    click on "view" tab,
    look for heading "Hidden files and folders"
    click on "show hidden files, folders, and drives"
    click "Apply"
    CLICK "OK"
    Most folders will be a bright yellow folder, whereas the hidden folders that you have now made reappear will be a shaded yellow.
    You should still have the operating system IDE (C) folder open.
    Thirdly:
    Look for:
    Open folder "Windows"
    Open Folder "System32"
    Find Folder "Macromed"
    Right Click on folder and look down for "Delete" left click which will then put the folder into the waste basket on the computer.
    Empty the wastebin if it is on desktop by right clicking and choosing "Empty Recycle Bin"
    close all explorer/Google pages.
    then repeat the process as near top of page from Computer --> C Drive --> all the way to
    Hidden files and folders
    Forthly:
    THEN !!!!!
    click on "DON'T show hidden files, folders, or drives"
    click "apply"
    click "OK"
                                       THAT WILL HIDE THE SYSTEM FOLDERS
    Fifthly:
    CLOSE ANY FOLDER OR BROWSER ON THE  COMPUTER SO THAT YOU ARE BACK TO THE DESKTOP.
    FINALLY:
    OPEN BROWSER
    YOU SHOULD THEN BE ALLOWED  TO INSTALL ADOBE WHEN OPENING A FRESH BROWSER

  • The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player

    Hi, I'm having a very hard time installing the newest version of Adobe Flash player.  When I run the installer I get the error message "The user does not have sufficient privileges to install Adobe Flash Player".  This all started after Flash had given me several popups about a new update, but the update wouldn't install correctly.  Eventually I uninstalled Adobe Flash and I've been unable to reinstall it at all since.
    I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, and I do have an administrator account.  I'm trying to isntall the Flahs plugin for Firefox, but it also wont work in IE.  So far I've tried running the instaler as an administrator, doing a clean install and running the installer from another user account (also an administrator).  None of these things have worked, and I can't find any other suggestions.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance!

    Download the offline installers from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header and save them to disk, then right-click on each installer and select 'Run As Administrator'.

    Look to the right under More Like This and you will see that you are beating a dead horse. Instead of doing a search for your issue you will be one of the obligatory 5 or 6 folks who ask this same inane question here every bloody day.
    So there is you answer, just read a few of the links to the scores of other threads here on this very topic and you will have all of the answers. The primary one being that there is no Flash from Adobe for iOS devices. Never has been, and since Adobe gave up trying to make Flash that worked, likely never will be.
