I have installed Adobe Flash but firefox does not show as plugin

I have downloaded the most recent versions of Firefox (30.0) and Adobe Flash Player. The Adobe website tells me my flash player is installed and current but Firefox does not show it as a plug in and a site that requires flash player (google finance) to view charts does not work. The place for the chart remains blank after telling me it has loaded.
Any thoughts?

When a page is using a plugin, usually an icon similar to a piece of Lego appears in the address bar. You can click the logo to check that Flash is allowed to run on the page, or approve it to run if it isn't.
I randomly picked a stock and enlarged the chart and got the following URL. Any luck with this one: http://www.google.com/finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&chvs=maximized&chdeh=0&chfdeh=0&chdet=1405540800000&chddm=1173&chls=IntervalBasedLine&q=NASDAQ%3AAAPL&ntsp=0&fct=big&ei=YJzGU_iiEZSziALE4oCYCg
Does it matter whether you view it in a regular tab or in a private window? To view in a private window, right-click the link > Open Link in New Private Window.

what is your question/issue here? did the folder have any content in it to begin with? screen shots of what you may be seeing?

Firefox does not show Flash based Soundcloudplayer after embedding

Hi There,
I have some problems with embedding from flash based content because firefox does not show the embedded content.
Last week and the time before everything went fine but now the Flash based player of Soundcloud doesn't work anymore.
I've tried to embed my soundcloudplayers via div tag on my nobleprofile, full code:
<pre><nowiki><div>
<object width="390" height="220" type="application/ x-shockwave-flash" data="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fmanuel-turobin%2Fsets%2Fmanuel-turobin-fancy-a-swift-one-before-the-show&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&show_playcount=true&show_artwork=true&color=c0ff00">
<param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fmanuel-turobin%2Fsets%2Fmanuel-turobin-fancy-a-swift-one-before-the-show&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&show_playcount=true&show_artwork=true&color=c0ff00" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
</object>
</div>
</nowiki></pre>
If I use the "data" URL I can see the player but I dont know why there are problems for a week with that embedding?!
Thanks for any help!

I notice a space in type="application/ x-shockwave-flash" in not working flash objects.
Firefox also needs the movie name specified via a data attribute in the object tag instead of via the param tag. With those changes applied you should see the Flash animations (works for me).

Mapped Drive B:\ to a network share but does not show up in Windows Explorer.

I mapped drive B: to a network share but it does not show up in Windows explorer. I can go to the drive by typing b:\ but is not visible in explorer. But if I login as local admin it shows up in windows explorer. Any suggestions?

Hi Lloyd Reeves,
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
Disconnect the mapped drive and map it again.
Ensure the user is using an administrator account; or change another user account to have a try.
Create a shortcut for a share folder and see if it will disappear.
In addition, it would be helpful for future troubleshooting if you could help to collect the following information:
Which method did you use to map drive?
Was there any error message in the Event log? If so, please provide the detailed information.
For your information, please refer to this similar case:

Firefox does not show full websites

Suddenly, Firefox does not show complete websites. IE does just fine.
Here's sample:
http://i40.tinypic.com/lboxv.jpg
What do we do? Some sites show fine, some like this - a list view, or whatever. And it's not online issue, as like I said - IE shows same sites just fine.

Hello ukrkoz, if you have the same issue again try to clear cookies and cache. Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

After installing or upgrading to Firefox 31, starting Firefox does not show homepage, customize shows a blank page and the option button does not work

I am the Windows admin for a university department and install PCs with Firefox all the time. This problem does not happen with every PC I maintain, only a select few (different model laptops with Windows 8.1 and update 1.) Until today, it only happened with new user accounts (with admin rights) that I setup on the laptops for our staff. Today this happened with The Administrator account while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I install Windows from a saved image that was created using sysprep.
I have tried the many suggestions of resetting Firefox, deleting the users Firefox profile, deleting the users Windows profile, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helps. After uninstalling, I run an app to delete temp files and caches and will even manually remove registry keys HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. Plus I reboot and make sure the install folder is deleted after uninstall.
Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial setup window for migrating IE and/or Chrome pops up and after clicking the Finish button, Firefox starts, but does not show the initial new user page, only a blank page. Clicking on the Options button (3 bars) does nothing. Right-clicking in the proper area, the popup menu appears so I can choose to Customize, but that only opens another tab with about:customize in the URL and the page is blank. From the right-click popup menu, I can enable the Menu Bar and get to Options from that.
My latest attempt has helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned up, deleted user Firefox profile, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Inital startup runs, and tells me I'm not up to date, and the Options button works. But I still cannot customize.
I then upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no startup page, no options button and no customize. I can downgrade to 30 and get all but customize working again.
Only Addon is one for McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which just after installing is disabled.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

Master Password Feature: After sometime (10-15 min.) the drop down list for the field on any site does not show; opening new window (not refresh or new tab) drop down appears.?

I manage a ton of accounts for different customers suing the same login pages (GoDaddy, WordPress, etc.) I use the Master Password Feature to help keep track of the many variants in logins and passwords.
After some unknown period of time, even closing the page tab so a new page session is started at the remote server, Firefox does not provide me with the usual drop-down selection list of the previously used login names. However, if I open a new FF window (file/new window) from the menu bar, the drop down becomes available.
How can I refresh the original window session in FF or change the timeout length?

Well, you said LOV...that might mean you are using JDev 11g. Are you? If so what technology stack are you using?
Assuming you are using JSF (?) you might be "backing" your list component in the application scope...but that is not likely.
If you are using ADF/BC on your business component level, you can clear your view object from which you are querying the possible values of this list...unless your you have made a method to compile this list...in which case you know what you are doing...so that is probably not the case.
Essentially you want to requery the VO upon which your LOV is based...unless you are using JPA or something...and then I know "requery" is not the right word...is it?

Ipod does not show up in Windows or Itunes! tried everything!

Here is the problem:
This is a new problem. Ipod worked fine on this computer until recently.
Ipod 5th gen does not show up in My Computer or Itunes.
It seems that it happend after I installed the latest update to Itunes.
What is happening:
When Ipod is plugged into my USB (the same one I always used before) it never shows up in my computer or itunes and always says "Do Not Disconnect" never stops!
What have I tried:
I plugged it into my friends laptop! It worked fine. Window found it.
I then used updater on it
I did the 5 r's over and over again. Nothing
I have reinstalled Itunes and tried that a few times
I tried different USB ports, nothing
I tried putting other items in my USBs and they work fine
IPOD just refusses to be seen on this computer again.
Any ideas? Thanks. This comp has my library and it is the one I use daily.

Thanks! But I actually figured it out! Right after I said something about the driver, I went into device mangager. Sure enough even though it did not show up as a drive letter the device manager said is was installed and working.
So I deleted the device out of device manager. Restarted and plugged it in. Although I go some weird error. It found the IPOD and now Itunes sees it.
I believe that killing the process would have done the same thing as you stated.
Thanks to all for taking the time to answer these issues. It beats the apple store or tech support.

IDM 8.1 with firefox does not show all GUI items

Hi,
we are running IDM 8.1 Patch_5 on Solaris 10. We have 2 instances, Prod & UAT. UAT runs from Tomcat 5, Prod uses Sun Appserver 8.
But our problem seems to be the Web Client.
When We lookup a user and then open the tabs for them, for example "Security" Firefox is not showing the
little boxes that allow you to allocate attributes etc. Instead, we just get the form title and then a blank line.
I did some reading and noted that there were some Java issues with IDM and Java and Firefox but I cannot apply
the workaround. I also tried the edit of Waveset.properties and adjusting the baseHref as suggested elsewhere but this
also does not work.
We are using Firefox Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100627 Firefox/3.6.6
As you can see this is a SPARC desktop!
Also Java was tried with v1.5_16 and now currently jdk1.6.0_07.
Can anyone please assist? This is rather urgent. I will be trying my Mac at home tonight, but we need something
that works now! Interestingly, this is the first time I have seen this problem. It may be related to Firefox, but I tried using Opera as well
with the same result.
Please assist!

Hi,
thanks for the information. I doubt we will be modifying the base code of IDM in this way. I am a bit disappointed that a
Sun product, running on a Sun desktop has this issue, but I think it more of a synergy between Java and Firefox, although
Opera was basically broken the same way, too.
Our workaround for now, is to have a separate install of Firefox, which is 3.0.3 and Java 1.5.0_16, which we know work
and run this as a parallel browser, with a symlink to it as "firefox-idm". This is OK, but not really that good.
Interestingly, IDM 8.1 displays perfectly on Snow Leopard and G5 Leopard using Firefox 3.6.6 and Java 1.6 on
Snow Leopard and with Java 1.5 on the G5 release.
We are thinking of apply IDM patches, but are reticent to do so, if they break any existing functionality......
Cheers
rachel

Firefox does not show filesystem or FTP file list

When I type "/" or "file:///" in the address bar it does not show anything. It should list my the folders in my root drive but it shows nothing. Strangely this is the same for any FTP file server I go to. It shows nothing but claims to be loaded. I think something in Firefox is missing.

I cleared the cookies and that might have done it. Comment if you have or had this problem.

Firefox does not show url in navigation toolbar while loading webpage (in new tab)

Firefox 3.6 when opening a link in new tab the url does not show in navigation toolbar while loading the web page. All ypu see is "Type a Web Adress" until the page load.
Before with my older version the URL was visible in navigation toolbar even before page started loading. How can I get this back?

A couple of possible causes. First check for an incompatible add-on, for details of how to do that see the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.
Another possible cause is a problem with the file that stores bookmarks. One of the symptoms is the URL not being updated in the Location Bar as you browse. For details on this see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite locked or damaged places.sqlite].

Firefox does not shows on top when it blocks popup

Earlier when Firefox used to block any popup it showed notification at the top that Firefox has blocked popup and i can select to open the popup from option.But now it does not show any notification at top when it block's popup.How can i enable the notification again?

Hi anil02,
The notification may have checked "Never show this again. Some more information on this can be found:
*[[Pop-up blocker settings, exceptions and troubleshooting]] "
It is also possible to check the exception list from the Firefox Menu > Options > Content > Exceptions to manage the pop up list.
