Firefox and Flash installed on USB-stick

On my company PC we've got IE6 installed.
Iv'e installed Firefox 3.6.12 on a USB stick and want to install Adobe Flash as well. I've downloaded and installed it does not appear as a Firefox plugin. How can I point Firefox to the right Flash "address"?

Hey,
see http://lifehacker.com/394946/enable-flash-in-firefox-portable for how to enable Flash in Firefox portable.
Cheers, Tobbi

I still cannot view flash players in firefox after uninstalling and reinstalling firefox and flash multiple times. how do i fix this issue perminantly?

I can go into chrome without any issues and watch any video without any problem. the second i get into firefox nothing works. i have had this issue on and off for years. i really do not see why you cannot fix this if everybody else can. i have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and flash player multiple times. nothing seems to work. I am truly getting really tired of this same problem year after year, i stay with firefox because you are privacy conscience and are being more so consistently. i do not know what other details to tell you other than this just keeps happening and it is making it very tough to do anything on firefox when i cannot use a simple thing such as flash player. as i said, if the other browsers can fix this i see no reason why firefox cannot year after year. i hope there is a simple fix for this problem because it has basically halted a lot of my work on the net as i will no longer use google or microsoft. thank you

Firefox does not play videos. That is the job of the plugins.

Despite having up to date Firefox and Flash plugin, I still get a crash message. What can I do?

I am trying to use SiteFusion to build a website. When I go to upload a PSD file I get a "Flash plugin has crashed" message and the ability to select the PSD file and upload it stops. I have checked and I am on the most up to date version of Firefox and Flash plugin running Mac OS 10.6.8 on an Intel Core 2 Duo.

firefox maxing my cpu and runs VERY slow i have reset firefox and re installed it, diddnt work i have googles searched about it and tryed so manny things to fix it but nothing works this is my last idea posting here

Did you do a clean reinstall and deleted the Firefox program folder?
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I have 6.0.2 desktop firefox, and want install latest version(11) but keep both

I have 6.0.2 desktop firefox, and want install latest version(11.0) but '''also want keep both versions''', what's the procedure?
may run both same time?
how add a second language total:2:ru/en in firefox 11...?

Hi lse123,
The first thing to explain is that older versions are not secure and not supported, therefore they increase the risk to your personal data and your computer system. Of course if you are running on a secure intranet, &/or have bare metal backup procedures in place that may not be a concern.
Secondly running multiple versions is probably considered an advanced topic, and not something the standard user would need to do, but it is all relatively easy and simple to do. Just take care, back up bookmarks & settings and be careful what you do with profiles, until you fully understand them.
You may well decide to keep IE (for instance for Windows updates) and then use one of the Firefox versions as a default browser. (will be associated with the .html file types for instance) The ''-no-remote'' command line argument is used to start a further instance of Firefox and allow it to run simultaneously. This option is not used for the version chosen as the default browser.
To do this successfully you need separate unique profiles for each Firefox version. Remember bookmarks & settings are contained in these profiles. Take care with profiles, use only empty folders for creating the new profiles (otherwise deleting profiles will destroy other data) and it is probably sensible at least initially not to delete or rename profiles, choose distinctive names (maybe not the version number, that could change if you upgrade - remember he 6 week rapid release cycle.) Presumably you are also aware of the Aurora, Beta & Nightly channels.
You will need to choose the custom install option when installing, or you will just overwrite each install in turn.

Problem to re-install from USB stick

Trying to solve my trackpad problem, I tried to re-install the system from the USB stick... It doesn't seem bootable. If I try it always comes back to a normal boot...
Any idea?
Thanks,
Pat
Configuration: MacBook Air 11" (late 2010)

If it mounts on the Desktop but does not show up in the boot manager when you OPTION boot, then it's defective.
Do you happen to have an 8 GB USB flash drive around? If you do, then you can try cloning the stick to the other flash drive. Sometimes this will work, sometimes not.
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the spare USB flash drive. Source means the Apple USB stick.

Firefox and flash is a disgrace and destroying the internet

I am finding that the internet is useless anymore because there are no browsers that work with flash. none. Not any. Not IE, not chrome, not firefox that pos. that used to hold so much promise and that I so loved to use.
why after two decades can no one write a program that can browse the web, use flash, which is a requirement in most place, without crashing, without opening 28 shockwave processes that stop my computer from shutting down normally? That locks up and five seconds later says shockwave has stopped, and then has the balls to say, do you want me to ignore this message. goddam it yes I do! sorry folks. been using the net since there was a web and now its totally useless. My only comment would be don't waste my time with version numbers, uninstalls, upgrades and all the crap I grew up with windows, I understand "we are so stupid, jus re-install to fix it" That dog don't hunt I do all of that and know what I am doing. Plus, what exactly are the update notices for if when I say yes, the latest is not installed. already reistalled windows 7, firefox latest, adobe latest not able to downgrade either as that process does NOT work. I jus spent five hours on the web, hanging out on sites and getting tossed offf, locked up,, and astouned to look at the task manage and see two dozen flash processes all running I open firefox every time, to adobe. com, hoping for some reason tha would help. IT locks up on adobe's own site They suck as much as th browsers No, everything is new, updated, uninstled, restarted in safe mode. when i use safe mode and hit a page that want flash, its" fuck me time" with a dozen shockwave processes already started up.
This is really serious. I know I am royally pissed and could be friendlier, but the internet is all about web browsers an adobe flash when it fails, what good id the web and when will this get taken seriously? its a bad as if suddenly cell phones started crashing ten times a day. We need these tools and we need them to work, no excuses. I can't even order car parts at the local stores because I don't have a browser that will not puke on their flash content. IE, CHrome, Firefox, and Opera all throw up when adobe is added or needed. I cannot contact adobe, they refuse to discuss it Are we all out here totally alone? the net is kind of important, what can folks do to make this work? I am no longer a programmer, but i do know that when I buy a product off the shelf, it works When I use this freeware that always had so much promise, it don't work and there is no one acountable to help me out.
Time for someone to create a browser that works on the world wide web I'll pay $75 for one that works and one that if it hiccups, I can talk to someone and get it fixed. Remember that freeware built the net?? tha day is gone, freeware is destroying the net and I will pay for quality. its better than searching for help nd reading ll the smarmy comments about, "fix it yourself" or reinstall it, or down grade it or start it in safe mode, or get a better rabbits' foot I find this to be a critical problem and again want it known that those who are not smarte enough to deal with it, should be replaced by educated, paid programmers who are willing an able to make it work. I 'll pay. I don't think I am alone in that. The internet is dead without a web browser. My god, get the government involve, they could NOT screw it up more than the browser authors have done.. do we need a bombard adobe and knock them out of business, see to their demise? Help?????

Not PR related, but related for some: Firefox and Flash

Sorry if this is the wrong forum (mods, please move to the correct forum if you want), but since there are many people around here who publish to the web, I thought I would share with you some problems I encountered with:
Windows 8 64 Enterprise
Firefox 18, and
Adobe Flash Player plug-in.
This is a terrible combination. After installing Flash Player, Firefox often comes to a halt, not responding anymore and the only solution is a complete removal of the Flash Player. This applies to all 10.x and 11.x versions of the Flash plug-in. In TaskManager or Process Explorer this weird behavior is shown as two instances of the plug-in running.
The remedy:
In Explorer, navigate to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash and open the file 'mms.cfg'. Add a single line:
ProtectedMode=0
to this file and save. Now restart Firefox and your problems have gone.

Never noticed this behavior myself.

Firefox and Flash

I downloaded and installed Adobe FlashPlayer recently from
Internet Explorer (IE), when I attempting to review an ecard at the
Blue Mountain website. This operation worked and I was subsequently
able to view the cards. Today, I was using Firefox, as my browser,
and when I attempted to view an ecard at Blue Mountain, I, once
again was directed to download Adboe FlashPlayer. I repeated the
process I performed with IE, but, unfortunately, I still can not
view the cards while using Firefox. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Frank

IE uses the Flash Player ActiveX control (and is the only
browser to do so).
Firefox, and all other browsers, use the Flash Player plugin.
Which is why you had to do a separate install.
When you use FireFox to view the Flash Player test page, what
do you see?

LR2 - MacOS: installation and/or running from USB stick

I am user of LR2
I wonder if it is possible:
1) to copy the installation CD to an USB drive and start installation from there (MacBook Air)
2) to install LR2 onto USB drive and run from the memory stick (USB)
3) allowed to install 1x on iMac at home and install 1x on laptop computer (Macbook Air) for use when not home
Thanks for your feedbacks and (if available) links to further resources in above topics!
Daniel

As to #1, why don't you just download a fresh copy of 2.7 from the Adobe web site onto your MacBook? That would save you a bunch of figuring out how to create a USB stick to install from. Load it from here
I suspect Ian is right about #2, that you won't be able to do it.
#3: no problem. You're allowed two installed copies--you aren't supposed to run them at the same time.

Updated Firefox AND Flash, and now flash won't play anymore

So, back in the last version of Firefox, Flash v11.3 wouldn't load correctly. The official solution was to roll it back, install a previous version, and I guess that's alright, but I was really hoping it was a temporary solution.
So now Firefox has updated to version 15. I thought this would solve the problem, and according to the old entries about Flash not working, it has. But then I updated flash, and now it's 11.4, and after updating twice I'm right back where I'm started.
Maybe this hasn't been articulated well enough? The problem isn't that it's a specific version that doesn't work and I'm willing to keep all my plugins in eternal limbo, it's that it doesn't work period. So, I guess I'm just supposed to roll back again? What should it be this time? Flash or Firefox? Does it matter? Which one hates the other one more? Will there ever be an actual solution to this, or will I just have to have outdated versions of one or the other forever?
And also, this is curious, according to this thing below that automatically reads your plugins and what not, I not only have 11.4, but also still have Flash 10.3 installed somehow. Maybe that will make it easier to roll back, but... does that make a difference? Is there anyone with Firefox 15 and Flash 11.4 that doesn't have this problem? I'm kinda hesitant to delete 10.3 because I might... you know, need it.

Shockwave Flash 11.4 r402 
Shockwave Flash 10.3 r183
Having both versions installed is probably a big part of your problem.
Uninstall Flash completely. 
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Then install the version that you found to be least problematic for you, which sounds like v 10.3.
Personally I have stayed with Flash 10.3, which is still getting security updates from Oracle / Adobe. Then again, I am using WinXP - not Vista. I have had no problems with Flash 10.3, like the problems I have seen posted here with 11.3 and 11.4.
YMMV.
Keep in mind that IE uses its own version of Flash - ActiveX is what it is called in the Add / Remove Programs in the Windows Control panel. That version won't affect Firefox in any manner. The version numbers don't need to be the same for both the ActiveX version of Flash and the '''Plugin''' version which Firefox ''(and most other browsers)'' use.

To upload photos from my pc onto my ipad using a usb stick. I bought a camera connector kit and tried placing the usb stick onto one of the white square adaptors, stuck it into the ipad2 and I got 'the device uses too much power'' message. Pls help.

I am not very familiar with the ipad2. I wished to transfer some photos from my pc (not an apple pc but that is the only one I have) to my ipad2 as I thought it would be easier to cull them, edit, crop etc to create albums for our recent trip (the photos are already on the pc and no longer on the camera memory card). When I place the usb stick on the adaptor and stick it onto the Ipad2 I keep getting 'device uses too much power/ requires too much power' message. I read somewhere on the internet that a usb hub could be used to solve the issue but that did not work either. What am I doing wrong? Is there actually a way around this problem. If not why does apple sell this product for Ipad users at all?
Thank you for any help/ solution you can offer.
Regards

I'd ask that on the iPad forum.

Why in the world is the most current version of firefox AND flash having TONS of problems playing hulu videos? either chewing the crap out of my processor but playing ok, or chewing the crap out of my processor and not even playing video at all?

used to be firefox and hulu got along just fine, never had my computer get retarded slow or any of the other things its currently doing while there's a tab open with hulu... but here lately its been eating the snot outta my processor (between firefox.exe and plugin container the two are consistently using 100% of my processor... most of it being firefox.exe itself)
and tonight i cant watch hulu at all. the video shows a frame then its another 10-15 seconds before another single frame is showed.
my firefox is the most current version.
my adobe flash player plugin is the most current version.
there's no reason this should be happening but it is happening and its friggin annoying
============================
this happens anytime i'm in the part of hulu that has the player for showing whatever episode i'm attempting to watch. when i attempt to watch hulu i have no other tabs open and no other excess programs running on my computer, and firefox+plugincontainer run my CPU to 100% just between those two processes. i can browse around the internet just fine (like checking my email, or even getting to my queue list on hulu, which i have my homepage set as.. the queue list loads fine but the player part of hulu is when things go to crap)
and i just tried the exact same episode of lie to me that i couldnt watch on firefox.... tried watching it on internet explorer and its playing perfextly fine EVEN WHILE FIREFOX IS OPEN.
firefox is my preferred browser and i hope this junk can be fixed somehow.

A botched install on a Mac (to do with importing a profile) means that Firefox won't open on the grounds that the application is 'already open'. Tried removing everything I can find to do with Firefox and re-installed but no success. Any suggestions?

Little more can be added to the above. The warning screen says, 'A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.'
I have gone though all the libraries and preferences I can find and removed everything to do with Firefox and Mozilla - it was the first install of Firefox on this drive.

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
