Firefox disables flash plug-in incorrectly

Plug-in report says "Flash Player Plugin between 11.0 and 11.7.700.169 (click-to-play) has been blocked for your protection". However, the version that is being blocked is 15.0.0.239 which is the most recent version. When I check for updates, Firefox says that I am at the most recent version.

If you are using the plugin check page then it is a bit behind on current versions and needs to be updated as I think it currently says the older 15.0.0.2'''39''' is current for Windows/Mac.
It is not disabling it incorrectly as the 15.0.0.2'''39''' is not the latest Flash 15 version as 15.0.0.2'''42''' and older is blocked and vulnerable. The 15.0.0.2'''46''' is not affected though according to Adobe.
The plugin check page needs to be manually updated so the version it says is current may not be say for Flash. Check Flash version at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
For Firefox on Windows the current Flash player versions are 16.0.0.235 and the extended support version 13.0.0.259 at https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
Flash Player Plugin 10.3.183.66 to 15.0.0.242 (click-to-play) has been blocked for your protection. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/p794

Persistent crashing of Flash plug-in in different browsers

_________Problem Specification:___________
Whenever I click:
'Attach' on Yahoo Mail, or 'Bestand toevoegen als bijlage' on Gmail (this is the Dutch version of the attach funtion for Gmail), or 'Add more photos' on Facebook (or similar functions of FB where you can upload photo's), or the normal upload screen for Youtube and a couple of other websites that have functions to upload files I get notified of this:
'De Adobe Flash-plug-in is gecrasht Meer info...' and two buttons on the right side: 'Pagina vernieuwen' and 'Een crashrapport verzenden'.
This of course reads: 'The Adobe Flash plug-in has crashed. More info...' and the buttons say: 'Refresh page' and 'Send crash report'
This particular error message occurs in Firefox (version info below) and 'More info...' takes me to a very generic Mozilla troubleshooting site, which suggests to update Firefox, the Flash Plug-in, Graphical card drivers (if I'm not mistaken) and a few other things.
In Internet Explorer I get an error at exactly the same time as I get it in Firefox, only IE quickly reloads the current tab and then gives you a little notification about that, it seems to persistently occur at exactly the same points as when they do in FF though (when I click 'Attach' etc.)
_________What I tried to do:______________
I Tried:
- Reinstalling Firefox
- Reinstalling Flash (by removing it in add/remove programs in Windows and then reinstalling it by downloading it again and then installing it)
- I disabled hardware acceleration (Flash seems to function fine when playing Youtube and similar videos, above mentioned problem persists)
- In about:config in FF I changed the options around for IPC (as mentioned here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins )
- I made sure that all applications running (such as firefox.exe and plugin-container.exe) that are associated with what I'm trying to accomplish are marked as safe in my security software (Comodo)
_________Technical Information:___________
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP [versie 5.1.2600] (that is the Dutch language version of XP + SP3, alternately it is described as: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Versie 2002 Service Pack 3, we're talking the 32 bits version of windows.
Web browsers tried: Firefox 3.6.12 (Dutch version)and Windows Internet Explorer Version 8.0.6001.18702
Flash player version: Shockwave Flash 10.1.102.64 Shockwave Flash 10.1.r102
I run this on a laptop with a 64 bit AMD Turion processor and a built-in ATI Radeon Mobility graphics card.
So what's next?

First of all, let me thank you for your suggestions so far.
I tried the safe mode and I looked into the graphical card drivers
In Internet Explorer Attaching with Gmail with Safe Mode now brings up the file dialog that I'd need to attach files. So this seems to be a viable workaround, although it's also possible to change Gmail to the simple HTML version where the dialog would come up anyway in both browsers, this is because the dialog in the simple HTML version is a standard Windows dialog and it's not Flash based.
In Firefox there's no such luck, the same message about the Flash Plug-in crashing appears under the same conditions.
Btw I double checked the HP support site (the manufacturer of my website, to which I was referred by AMD) and I do have the latest graphical card drivers installed, as a matter of fact I've been having this Flash player problem a while now, even from before I updated the drivers the last time, which was approximately a week or two ago.

Firefox disabled my adobe flash player

Firefox just out of nowhere decides to disable the flash plug-in without asking me. And everytime I go to a site that uses flash, I have to see this message (see link below.)
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/why-do-i-have-click-activate-plugins
So how do I reactivate the flash plugin without updating it? The reason I do not update it, is because when I update it, I get a constant pop-up error message. And when I uninstall my flash altogether, the constant error pop-up messages stop, but now I get the "you don't have it installed" message. And when I download an outdated version
So no matter what I do, I have problems with this. I don't want to have to keep clicking the "always activate plugin for this site" button, for every site I visit on the world wide web, because that is out-of-this-world annoying.
I'm getting really irritated by firefox, and their bull. I will not update because you can't keep up.

I told you what happens when I update. It won't play any video, and it keeps giving me an error message, that won't go away. It keeps popping up, even when I close it. That was a much bigger problem, and a huge headache. This problem does not exist on any of the other browsers that I have. So it's 100% a firefox problem, not a flash problem.

Firefox crashes on some web sites because of Shockwave Flash plug-in

I have the latest Firefox running on updated Windows Vista SP2. Each time I go to my Google+ site, FF opens it and then crashes. I have located the problem for this crash to the Adobe Flash plug-in. When I disable the Shockwave Flash plug-in, crashes would stop. The Shockwave plug-in is updated to the latest version, and I even re-installed it, which didn't help. I have similar crashes on some other sites during searches. It becomes rather frequent and irritating. Please suggest some options how to deal with that.

Thanks for reply. I do have the updated version of Trusteer Rapport. It is really interesting - I disable Shockwave Flash, and the crashes would stop. Then I would enable the Shockwave and stop the Rapport, the crashes would also stop. However, when they both are active - Firefox crashes all the time on Google+ web site. I do not have the same problem with Google Chrome and IE-9, only Firefox. I will try to ask Trusteer forums, but doubt that they would be able to offer something. It looks like Firefox specifically does not like something.

Flash plug in causes Firefox 4.0.1 (on Vista Business) to hang

Flash plug in causes Firefox4 (on Vista Business) to hang, on sites with flash content (videos, etc)
I tried everything I found in firefox forums (uninstalling - reinstalling the plugin, disabling hardware accelaration, etc ), but it was useless
I tried installing Firefox 5.0b2 and I have the same problem: with the flash plug in activated, I get CPU usage up to 100% and Firefox hangs...

Make sure that you allow the plugin-container process in the firewall.
You can try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

Adobe Flash Plug In Error after I was prompted to Update Firefox

I was prompted that there was an update to Firefox which completed successfully. After the update Firefox began to crash and the conclusion I have come to is the Adobe FlashPlayer.

Yes I did try that. One thing whats the description for the Flash plug in because I cant find it anywhere to even enable or disable it which at this time is disabled because when I click on the link to "check if your plugins are up to date" in the Add-On Manager it prompts me that "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version." I clicked on the link
and attempted to install. I closed out of Firefox and then opened it after the install was complete and still no Flash. Thanks

Adobe Shockwave Flash plug-in keeps getting 'Disabled'

I have all the latest versions of Firefox and the plugins...yet I have experienced this problem with the last several versions of FF - every 2 days or so the Flash Plug-in gets set to 'Disabled'.
To correct this I simply go in and re-enable it and the browser works fine again for several days.
I have done all the updates, the Flash update is the latest etc.
Any tips?

You appear to be running Firefox 16. The latest version is 18.0.1.

You appear to have Flash Player 11.4.402.### installed. The latest version is 11.5.502.146.

Make Flash Plug-In for Firefox Remember Privacy Settings for Camera and Mic Access on Local File

My company is using Flash Player to develop some kiosk-style applications to run on a standalone computer (no network connection). This computer will contain web pages containing Flash content. They will be opened from the local HD with Firefox with the Adobe Flash plug-in (v11.7.700.224). One of the applications accesses the microphone hooked up to the computer. When this application is started, it always asks for permission for "local" to access the microphone and camera. In previous versions of our system, we could click "Remember" if we did it once and that would make it so it wouldn't ask for permissions again (in this case, the Remember option isn't available, and the site settings don't even offer the Privace tab). However, in the previous case, we were running IE with a previous ActiveX Flash version (unfortunately, this approach is no longer available as we have had to switch to Windows 8 and that changes the game with IE and Flash entirely).
At this point, we have tried to use the Global Settings for "Camera and Microphone Settings by Site..." to enter "Local" as an always allowed site. This does not seem to have any effect. We also tried entering the root directory of the applications in "Trusted Location Settings", but that also seemed to have no effect.
I'm not sure what has fundamentally changed here. I think there might be some differences in the Plug-In version (compared to ActiveX), but I'm not sure what they might be or how to do the same thing as before.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Torrey

Chris,
We learned that the Privacy tab (in Settings) can be found under the Flash plug-in for Firefox, but only if Firefox is running under an administrator.
Unfortunately, we haven't had much luck with the mms.cfg file. The following was used in the mms.cfg file (placed in both the %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash and %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash” directories):
AVHardwareDisable = 0
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = local
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = 127.0.0.1
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = localhost
AutoUpdateDisable = 1
The AVHardwareEnabledDomain settings seem to be getting ignored regardless of whether the user is a standard user or an administrator. I also checked to make sure it wasn't just a local problem by going to a website that uses a microphone (http://www.testden.com/accent-reduction/systemcheck.htm). Adding the requested domain to the list (AVHardwareEnabledDomain = train.act360.com) still didn't bypass the allow/deny dialog box.
We know that the mms.cfg file is being read because setting "AVHardwareDisable = 1" will result in no prompt and that section being greyed out in Global Settings. I saw a post that suggested this setting was required to even make the AVHardwareEnabledDomain work, but it seems to block the local entirely and still brings up the dialog query on the internet site.
Thanks,
Torrey

Does Firefox support to automatically update flash plug-in?

I am using Firefox 31.0 and want to know if it supports to automatically update flash plug-in. If it does not, is there any plan to improve this?
Thanks.

You can specify flash to update automatically by clicking start on your
computer then type in flash in start search.
It should bring up Flash Player,click it then go to Advanced.
Check the option for : Allow Adobe to install updates.
It can also be done by right clicking on a flash video,then click global
settings.

Firefox disabled by flash plugin telling me to update to new version. I can't update to the lastest Adobe flash player 11, because it does not support Windows Vista 64-bit. So now what am I supposed to do?

I have Windows Vista 64-bit. I can't play on-line games on Pogo. I already contacted Pogo & they told me to update flash player. Firefox disabled by plugin for flash. I can't get the most updated Adobe flash player because it doesn't support 64-bit.

See:

I have updated Adobe flash plug-in but it continues to crash. It has crashed on me over 3 times in the last hour; why is that? Is it firefox?

I have updated Adobe flash plug-in more than once, but it continues to crash. It always does it right in the middle of a game or something I'm playing. Now, I pay real money to play these games so that I can purchase certain things, so this is now frustrating me. If it's firefox that keeps adobe crashing please let me know so that I can go back to using internet explorer.'''bold text'''

James j,
You have a different problem. Your screenshot shows "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed".
See [[Plugin crash reports]] and [[The adobe Flash plugin has crashed]]. If you need more help you should [[ask a question|ask a new question]] (start a new thread).

Why is Firefox still disabling Flash

Why, with the latest version of Mac Firefox (16) and the latest version of Flash (11.4.402.287) it the browser STILL disabling Flash "due to security or stability issues"? I have no such issues on Firefox on a PC or Safari on my Mac.

Try to delete the pluginreg.dat file in the Firefox Profile Folder and maybe addons.sqlite as well to reset the plugin registry databases.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

I want to temporarily disable Adobe Flash plug-in--(as Chrome allows)--is there a way to do this for FF?

I don't want to permanently uninstall adobe flash--I merely want to disable it at my discretion. Is there a method to do this? Google Chrome allows you to disable and re-enable add-ons/extensions/plug-ins quite easily without uninstalling them and then re-enable them just as easily. If this option isn't available in FF, I'd like to request it. Thanks.

Thanks--I tried that first when I first began having problems--I could not locate the Flash Plug-in. Apparently I was looking under the wrong icon (the add-ons--puzzle piece icon) instead of the plug-ins (lego piece icon). After receiving your rather rapid response to my inquiry, I tried again and was able to locate the plug-in list. Thanks
