Downloaded Flash 10.1, works fine in MS Explorer but Firefox 3.6.13 contimues to try to run Flash 6

I am using Firefox 3.6.13. When I loaded pages with flash objects I get a message telling me I need to upgrade to Adobe flash 10.1. So I did but I still get the message telling me I need to upgrade the Flash. When I right click on the flash object, it tells me I'm using Flash 6 witch I would imagine is still somewhere on my computer. When I run MS Explorer it will use the Adobe Flash 10.1 so I know it downloaded and installed properly. I need to get Firefox to find and use the 10.1 instead of the 6
The question is...... How do I do that?

Ignore my last post, I just thought of an easier way to locate those files. First you need to check a hidden preference, and probably change its value.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''plugin.expose_full_path''', if it is set to '''false''' double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
Now type '''about:plugins''' into the location bar, this will show all installed plugins, it should tell you the location of the Flash versions 6.0 and 7.0. To stop Firefox using those old plugins you can rename the two old versions of NPSWF32.dll to old-NPSWF32.dll

All of a sudden certain sites will not download pdf files; they work fine on Internet Explorer

This started happening a few months ago; I have two W7 laptops and same problem on both; Thoughts?

Firefox has a setting for what to do with PDFs. The options include displaying it in a Firefox tab using a built-in viewer or the Adobe PDF viewer, or opening it using an external application such as Adobe Reader, or just saving the file. It sounds like you may want to experiment with that setting. This article will get you started: [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]].
The settings file that stores those choices sometimes becomes corrupted. In that case, the standard medicine is to remove the file and have Firefox generate a new one with default settings. If you find that Firefox ignores your selections in Options, then here is how you would do that:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Start Firefox back up again. If desired, using the History menu to Restore Previous Session so you can pick up where you left off.
By default, PDFs should now display in the built-in viewer. Does it work?

Videos will not work in Firefox but work fine in windows explorer. why?

I tried to verify my plug-in's and all are enabled. I found where was suggested to remove and reinstall Firefox but that did not fix problem either. I tried to change viewer for videos but still no luck. Not certain why Quicktime doesn't work. Note, videos when browsing will not open but everything else works fine. Videos work fine with windows Explorer, but not Firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
Happy New Year

There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in this article helps: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

Netflix and Youtube will not play on Firefox but I can still hear sound and can pause with the space bar. Works fine on Internet Explorer.

All of a sudden last night after Firefox restarted after an update I am no longer able to play Netflix or Youtube. I can hear the sounds from whatever I select to play but the browser is black and I can even pause using the space bar but no interaction with the cursor. Both Netflix and Youtube work fine on Internet Explorer... I tried updating plug ins, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling plug ins and I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox itself but nothing has helped. Not sure what steps to take next...

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Facetime works fine on my iphone, but will not work on my MBA.

Facetime works fine on my iphone, but will not work on my MBA. Keeps telling me "unable to verify address" and says it is sending me a verification link to my email address but I never get anything. Crazy.
After a while it tells then me that it cannot verify my email address because of a network connection ("Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again. ")
Does anyone have any ideas?

I am trying to connect to my Wifi Network. It is a Galaxy Nexus. I am trying to connect to this Hotspot. I have an iMac that works fine with my network but for some reason with this computer I cannot connect.

So far I have pulled the system configuration file, I have reset safari, I deleted all old passwords from the wifi network in Keychain I restarted both devices. I am at the end here and I cannot get it to work I have an iMac that works fine with my network but for some reason this computer will not connect. It is system wide specifically to my personal hotspot. I can connect fine to any other network (wifi) but just not mine. I have not changed any wifi settings. I have been trying to figure this out. I have a MacBook Pro Late 2006 model running Lion (10.7.5) So any ideas anyone? Please help!

12. At a WiFi hotspot, you can't get connected. The most frequent reason is the login screen for the WiFi hotspot is only able to be connected with a single type of browser. If Safari doesn't work, try Firefox, Chrome, Omniweb, or Opera.

Workbook works fine in discoverer plus but shows error in discoverer viewer

Hi,
I have some issues with the parameter of a report.
one of the parameters is
mgr_id (eg: 1,2,3) -- from database table.
manager names are not available in the database but they are known to users like
1 - david
2 - alan chris
3 - peter
so the requirement is
(i) the input parameter wud be entered as 1 or 2 or 3 or null ( or in multiple combination or all).
But the report shud have parameters in the header of the report.
for eg: if the input parameter is mgr_id = '1' then the report shud have manager name: 'david' in the header.
if the input is mgr_id = '1',' 2', '3' then on the report header, it shud display as manager name: 'david','alan chris','peter'
(ii) the default value of mgr_id shud be 'ALL'. if the user enters mgr_id as 'ALL' then it shud take all the values of mgr_id and pull all the values of mgr_id (like 1,2,3)
and the report header shud display as department name: 'ALL'
i have developed a custom query where i used,
select dept_id, decode(mgr.mgr_id,'1','david','2','alan chris','3','peter') as mgr_name, ..... etc.
in discoverer admin,
I have created LOVs (item classes) for mgr_name.
after that going to properties of mgr_name, i have selected mgr_id as indexed item.
and in the report i have created parameter dept based on mgr_name and selected the option -- allow to select both indexes and values.
and in the default value i mentioned 'ALL'.
after that i changed the condition as
((mgr_name = :manager name) OR (mgr_name LIKE DECODE(:manager name,'ALL','%')))
and in the header, i used &department name --- then it displays correctly.
but the problem is ---
the report works fine in plus. the problem is only when parameter value is 'ALL'
when i run the report from discoverer viewer for the very first time (after logging in), the report works fine with correct data.
but when i run the same report second time with parameter value 'ALL', it gives an error ---
Invalid value "''" for parameter "department name"
i dont understand, why it works for first time and doesn't afterwards. If i logout and login again, it works fine in viewer.
am i doing anything wrong in conditions or declaring the parameters?
I came to know that, the very first time, when we enter 'ALL' it is taking '%' but when we run for the second time, it is taking NULL. since NULL isn't there in mgr_id or mgr_name, it is throwing that error.
How do i fix this error?
Thanks

Hi Puppethead,
I have tried with your suggestions.
the following condition -- did not work
( (mgr_name = :manager name)
OR (mgr_name LIKE DECODE(:manager name, 'ALL', '%', NULL)))
but for the other condition ---
( (mgr_name = :manager name)
OR (mgr_name LIKE DECODE(nvl(:manager name, 'ALL'), 'ALL', '%', NULL)))
is wrong because, :manager name cud be null, when it is null, it takes 'ALL' i.e. '%' which shud not be the case.
if the user enters null, it has to display records with null only but with the above condition it takes '%'
The main issue which i dont understand is, the report works fine for the first time. for the second time, the report takes null values . why is it taking null values for the second time.
Thanks
