Firefox 29 on Linux: no Flash (28 works fine)

I'm very impressed with the new Firefox 29, but I'm wondering how long until Flash will be working. All across the web I see "Would you like to install the plugin needed to view content on this page?" and if I click yes, it pops up a window saying "No plugins found." I still have Firefox 28 installed and it works fine. I thought this was just a time-biding issue, but as I've searched around I'm starting to doubt. Solution?
Running Firefox 29 on Fedora 20.

I have been able to work around it, but I'm open for better solutions. Here's what I did:
I never uninstalled the built-in Firefox 28 (and 29 hasn't made it to repos); so all files are in the same location except that I replaced /usr/bin/firefox with the one from the new Firefox (of course, backing-up the old one).
I found the (old) plugins in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/
I copied all of them into ~/.mozilla/plugins (which already existed, but was empty).
The plugins include:
* libflashplayer.so
* libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so
* libnpgoogletalk.so
* libnpo1d.so
* librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so
* libtotem-cone-plugin.so
* libtotem-gmp-plugin.so
* libtotem-mully-plugin.so
* libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so
The problem seems to be fixed now.

Flash Player works fine in IE, but when I am using Firefox, it crashes

Flash player works fine in IE, but when I am using Firefox it crashes when it has to play an audio signal. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? It is most annoying.

Hi,
Please provide more information like which version of Flash Player are you using?
What is the version of Firefox?

Audio hangs on all videos played in firefox after updating to 3.6, everything works fine in internet explorer.

sound locks up and repeats while videos play, sound resumes as it should after a second or so, happens once every few seconds while playing any video within firefox. (youtube) flash applications work fine. internet explorer runs all videos fine. let me know if i need to dig up some more info to help figure out what my be causing the problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== firefox 3.6 update

This will require advanced help. I believe it has something to do with the session restore feature of Firefox, but I can't help you fix it.
In the meantime (that is, before another contributor that knows how to help you comes here), you may want to try creating a new Firefox profile ([http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles managing profiles]) and see if the same issues occur on that one. This profile can be erased if you don't want it, of course. Please tell us whether the new profile has the same issues or not.

Firefox 305b under Fedora9 - Adobe Flash 10 working, but I cannot download ANY plugins, such as Flashblock.

I'm running nicely working Firefox 3.0b5 (Linux), under Fedora Rel. 9 Linux (sulphur), used "rpm" to install Flash 10.3r183 sucessfully. Flash works fine. Every webpage is a screaming storm of animated junk. On Win-boxes I have "Flashblock". All attempts to get "Flashblock" fail - downloading attempts from Firefox site do not respond. I know Flashblock 1.5.6 is available for Linux/Firefox, but cannot access it!!

You actually have the most Recent Flash player, so I'm not sure why you are getting a notice. Try to Reset Firefox [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

I have to re-install adobe flash for firefox every time i start my computer even if firefox shows that my adobe flash is working it does not.I also get notices from the websites i visit (get flash e.t.c.)

i have the latest firefox 10.02 in win7 and even if firefox shows is installed my adobe flash is not working so i have to run the flash installer every time i start my pc.After this everything works fine until the next start when i have to run the flashinstaller again

There are two versions of the Flash Player plugin. One is ActiveX and only works in IE. It sounds like you have that one installed. The other one works in all other browsers.
What seems to be happening is that you have security software that's blocking one of those versions of Flash/restoring your computer state and so it gets uninstalled when you start your computer. The other possibility is that there are permission issues. Unfortunately, this isn't something that Firefox can control; it's a problem with the Flash installation (Firefox is dumb and just looks in the registry for a list of installed plugins to load).
Make sure that you're an admin on your computer when you try to install Flash and that you check your security settings. If that doesn't work, try posting to the [http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer Adobe community forums] to see if other people have had similar issues and know how to address them.

After I connect an ipod thro a usb cable, firefox will not load, but other browsers work fine.?

Firefox works fine and is my preferred browser, but after I connect an ipod to my computer it will not load. Even after the ipod has been removed firefox will still not load until the pc is restarted.

Open the Windows Task Manager > Processes Tab and see if there is a '''firefox.exe''' process running, when you can't open Firefox and you find it necessary ti restart your PC. When you try to open Firefox and a firefox.exe process is "hung", you should get a warning message that ''' "Firefox is already running" '''.

Firefox cannot load anything but ms explorer works fine

when i try to access any site i get message 'done' at bottom left of screen but nothing else.
firefox has worked fine before
explorer works fine

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Firefox twitter site has random "x��" text, works fine in other browsers. I cleared cached and history to no effect, what can I do?

I recently re installed Windows 7 OS into a new hard drive while copying over my "appdata" folder to the new drive to maintain my old computer settings.
Ever since I started using the new OS, I believe I started to have trouble with the twitter website which only loads garbled, random text, like the following:

More recently I started getting this with google search which is even more annoying due the frequency I use that (like trying to troubleshoot this problem). However, I managed to fix that by following the help suggestions here for the google site:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-dont-load-troubleshoot-and-fix-errors?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Error+loading+web+sites
However, nothing manages to fix the twitter website which works fine with other browsers, such as Chrome.
Is there a way that I can fix the issue?

I have a iMac destop 10.6.2 and use the AOL Mail web site with your Firefox Browser. It has worked great for years. I update the firefox to 6.1 and now I cannot send images using the Firefox browser. With Safari browser it works fine.

I use AOL mail - http://www.aol.com/ with my Firefox 6.1 browser. Before updating aol mail worked great with firefox for years. Now when I try to send ( upload) messages with a file or images I always get the reading " there was a technical problem and I should try again". Messages with NO files or images go through just fine. I have cleared the Firefox history, the cache and cookies and the problem remained the same. The question is does this problem have something to do with the latest update ? AOL are still only familar with the 3.6 Firefox versions. Thanks

Well I guess I was too optimistic. Since last posting I have had three hang events, one during reboot. When the login dialog box came up I clicked on it and it hung.
However I do have a new data point. I have enabled the remote login (sshd). I have discovered that when the system hangs like I described above, I can still log in via SSH from my Windows system. The shell appears normal, but when I tried a "killall Safari" command the OS crashed hard. After a hard reset, the system hung during the login process. Again I could login remotely, and that time I executed a "sudo reboot" via the remote session. That cleared the display to all-blue but did not successfully reboot.
Can anyone suggest what to try via the remote login to help diagnose what is happening? I am familiar with typical Linux architecture but the differences in Mac OS X are leaving me a bit disoriented.

Flash player working fine on adobe's website but cannot be detected by facebook games.

I know this has been posted several times but i have yet to see a solution to this problem yet.
Does anyone have the fix to it til date?
I'm running a windows XP and flash player does not run on all three browsers, IE, Firefox and chrome.
I have tried uninstalling and installing the flash player multiple times and yet it still does not work.
My friend runs a windows Vista and is unable to play the games as well, so im suspecting the problem doesn't lie with the OS.
Been sourcing the web for 2 hours now and am really hoping for an answer..

Ohyeah, and in case you needed to know, these are the files in my flash folder.
install.txt
KB923789.inf
flashplayer.xpt
NPSWF32.dll
NPSWF32_flashUtil
uninstall_plugin
flash10e.ocx

I'm really lost now.

Just installed firefox 3.6.12 on windows xp. Firefox cannot access the internet. Explorer works fine.

New install of firefox 3.6.12 on windows xp professional. Firefox can not access the internet. firefox starts but when you click on the get started button it comes back with a unable to fine mozilla.com error. Explorer works and I can ping mozilla.com

For me it seems to be related to the Shockwave Flash plugin (10.1 r85). Firefox seems to crash only when some flash pages have to be displayed and if I disable to the Flash player plugin Firefox don't crash anymore. This is not a solution just a diagnostic.

Firefox having problem with farmville where safari works fine

I've been working with Farmville support to no avail. They finally told me to try another browser so I tried Safari and guess what...everything works great! So the problem:
When I try to give a gift in Farmville certain lists of people do not ever load on my screen. I can provide an attachment of what it looks like in Safari and what it looks like in Firefox. I think it might have used to have worked prior to my installing the firefox beta which I had to remove because it was not compatible with too many of my sites. It is interesting that this functionality works ok usually on farmville.com but not on farmville on facebook.

Take the plastic protective sheet off the back of the iPhone.
The plastic is diffusing the flash so that it shines directly back into the lens washing out the picture.
Also if you have not removed the plastic protective sheet from the front, you want to do that as well, since the front sheet covers the microphone as ear speaker making it difficult to hear.
All of this happened to my wife :)

All videos I play through Firefox are skipping but the same videos work fine in Safari. I am using the latest versions and patches. Help?

Other details? Umm, I'm using a Mac. Never had problems before version 4.0. It happens on Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, GomTV, among other video sites. I loaded the same videos in Safari and they play fine.

Please try to re-install your firefox browser or maybe you must get the latest version of mozilla firefox browser, here >> [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new]
And you can try to re-install your Adobe Flash Player too and get the latest version here >> [http://example.com http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/]
