Error installing the flash player in firefox 3.6.8 (win7)

It downloads but when the red adobe box pops up, the install button is greyed out and never lets me complete the install. I have disabled the anti-virus (avg) but it refuses to install. Same computer 1 moth ago with XP3 had no problems. Have any idea what's up? TIA

Vista and Windows 7 users may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator".
Also, you must check the small "I accept license" box for the Install button to become active.
Windows users/IE, be sure you also update IE. IE uses a different Flash version. You must do both downloads/installs to completely update your system for Flash.

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.

I updated my software today and since have not been able to use some of the games on Facebook. I have installed the flash player 12 and still problems, can anyone give me some advice?

Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />

Why can't I install the flash player on my Kindle Fire???

I have tried several times to install the flash player on my Kindle Fire but it keeps telling me there is an issue opening the download. How am I able to download it yet am unable to install it. It makes no sense to me why it would be able to download yet not be able to open the installation. Is this a problem that is being fixed? I've tried to "troubleshoot" this issue myself but there is little information on it. If the Kindle Fire is unable to install the Adobe Flash player then there needs to be some changes made either on your companies part or Amazons. There are apps offered on the Kindles that need this flash player in order to operate. If you could back to me with an answer as soon as possible I would greatly aprreciate it. Thank you.

Hi,
Although we continue to provide security and patch releases for Android devices which originally shipped with Adobe Flash Player, new feature development for the Android browser has drawn to a close as we shift our focus to Adobe AIR for mobile applications. For more details on the rationale for our decision I refer you to the following article.

The following article describes how to manually install the Adobe Flash Player manually on your Android device.

Another alternative is to install the SkyFire browser, which appears to support Flash Video.

How to Install Elements 5 Without Installing the Flash Player that is On the Photoshop Elements 5 CD

Having just changed the operating system here from Microsoft Windows XP Pro to Microsoft Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), it is desirable to install the Existing Photoshop Elements 5, Without Installing the Flash Player and Adobe Reader programs on the Elements 5 CD. The Elements 5 Setup Wizard does not appear to offer an option to "uncheck" or otherwise prevent the Flash Player and Adobe Reader programs from being installed. It is not desirable to install and then uninstall the unwanted Flash Player and Adobe Reader programs. It is also not desirable to purchase a newer version of Elements at this time.

If you cancel out of the Setup Wizard and then go to Start>Computer and right click on the cd and choose explore, you should be able to go to the folder
that has photoshop elements 5 and run the Installer or Setup.exe and bypass all the other out of date stuff like flash and adobe reader.
Also, after installing pse 5 you'll want to apply the 5.02 patch so pse 5 runs better on windows 7.
(it says for vista, but works on windows 7 x64 as well)

Because eight years ago, when Apple developed it, Steve Jobs was adamant that iOS NEVER EVER EVER be compatible with Flash. That... will never change.
Apple says to use "SkyFire" as your browser if you must view Flash content (which they do not recommend you do with an iPad). It's free in the App Store.

Thanks!

There is some flyby-night application in Installer.app that allows for flash web-surfing. But it doesn't work too well, and isn't worth the risk.

Hello,
There are two versions of Flash Player for Windows: ActiveX for Internet Explorer and Plug-in for non-IE browsers. It appear you may have installed the one for non-IE browsers. Please use the links below to download and install:

I need help with installing the flash player!

I am trying to install the flash player and as the download progresses it asks me to close internet explorer to continue. I close internet explorer and press the continue button and it repeats the request to close internet explorer. I have completely closed out of everything except the installing process and it still won't continue the download, it wants me to close out of internet explorer and I have already done that! Can anyone help me with this??? I am so frustrated. I am not an advanced computer user, but I have followed all the instructions for this procedure and end up with the same result... close internet explorer. I would appreciate assistance so much!

You need to close all iexplore.exe instances; use the Task Manager's Processes tab.

Problem after installing the flash player

Hello
after installing the flash player i can't run some videos from different sites like facebook,
how can i fix it ?
Thank you

After the problem, I have quickly installed the latest graphic driver - but allways the same problem.
Before I have installed the flash player - the power settings - windows energy settings was "Turn off the display after ten minutes." It has always worked correctly.
After I have installed the flash player - the display was gone off - but never go on - I must restart my computer.
Now I must choose "Do never turn off the display". This problem I have since 2010. Until now I did not know why. Now I have reinstalled my computer and every day another programm installed. To see what it is.
This is my PC http://www8.hp.com/de/de/hp-search/search-results.html?ajaxpage=1#/page=1&/cc=de&/lang=de& /qt=WX139EA

Is there a way to install the flash player pluggin offline?

Hello,
Is there a way to install the flash player pluggin offline?
when I download flash player asks me to connect, and then to
reboot, I use deep freeze, and that´s the reason I need an
offline instaler, so I can reboot in thawthed state, and if this is
not possilbe,
which are the files installed by this utility? that way
I´ll make a back up and will install it without conexion to
internet?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,

Another forum user posted this link (http://flashforthegalaxy.com/install-flash-galaxy-tab/) where he claims there are working instructions to install it, but neither Android nor Adobe will support it if you can get it installed and it doesn't work.

Installing the flash player and it stopped said to exit safari but no safari was opened, what do i do?

Unable to instal the flash player.

Closing the Safari window doesn't make Safari Exit. Launch Safari, and choose Safari > Quit Safari from the upper left of the screen.
If that doesn't work, reboot and then run the installer you've already downloaded.

I keep getting an error message, the flash player won't install, help?

I'am using internet explorer 8 and I followed all the trouble shooting steps in the support center but i keep getting this message:
"Error opening for file writing: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx".
The Pop up that allows it to download the file isn't coming up, but when i tried to download the Adobe air and it came up. I checked all the security settings in the Internet options and followed it but still the same. What could this mean? Thank you.

Try the following:
download the Flash Player uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html (save to disk);
download the offline ActiveX installer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe (save to disk);
close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller;
open Windows Explorer, then check that %WINDIR%\system32\Macromed\Flash is empty (or non-existant);
now run the downloaded installer

Can't install the Flash Player for Internet Explorer

Hi.
Today, I started noticing my videos were stuttering a lot (something that doesn't usually happen on my computer) and I thought my Flash Player was glitching out, so I uninstalled it and deleted the registry keys for it via Iobit Uninstaller. I restarted and then re-downloaded the player.
The Firefox/Chrome/Opera etc. version installed smoothly and now works perfectly fine. In the case of the Internet Explorer installer, however, it says that a newer version of the player is already installed.
I'm using Windows 8 (64-bit) and IE10; from what I've been reading, IE10 comes with a pre-installed Flash Player. The problem is I don't seem to have it anymore. It doesn't show up in my IE Add-on list (http://i.imgur.com/mkm4JQf.png) and whenever I try to watch a video or something that requires Adobe Flash Player, it says I need the player.
Things I have tried so far:
downloaded the Adobe Uninstaller to uninstall the Player and then reinstall it;
checked if ActiveX Filtering was enabled (it was not);
reset IE settings to default;
installed Adobe Flash Player beta (it wouldn't let me; it said my Windows came with the latest version of the player);
ran the 32-bit version of the browser;
checked for possible Windows updates (it's up-to-date);
tried to downgrade the browser, without success (the IE10 update doesn't show up in my Control Panel's updates uninstallation screen);
tried to run System Restore (it failed; it said my antivirus had to be disabled, and I did, but it still wouldn't restore).
Normally, I wouldn't really mind it, since I don't even use the browser directly; software I'm using, however, requires IE (and its Flash Player) to run.
Thanks in advance.
