Firefox doesn't handle Flash

Whenever I try to load a video in YouTube, the audio plays but the video and the video controls do not load. I can get the videos to work on Facebook, but when I right-click and select "Settings" nothing responds to mouse clicks. Firefox also cannot load Chatango or several other sites that use Flash but some Flash objects will load but not respond to mouse clicks. I tried downgrading to several different versions of Flash and also tried a reinstall of Firefox with no luck. However, this has not been a problem for Firefox on the other computers I use, even though I updated Flash on them.

I think it will be hard to get clear answers about custom keyboard layouts here...
I did see a bug that sounds related: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791300 791300 – Dead-key diacritics non-functional in text forms and address bar] -- the last comment mentions a code comment that chaining is not supported.

Firefox doesn't handle chained deadkeys on Windows

It seems that Firefox doesn't handle chained deadkeys as produced by for example this layout http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michkap/archive/2011/04/16/10154700.aspx . Correct characters are not produced as in contrast with them being produced in Windows explorer.

Firefox doesn't print Flash apps

I can't get Firefox to print Flash applications. IE and Opera
do it fine, but not FF. Just blank white space. I've found lots of
posts throughout the internet where others have had the same
problems, but NO solutions. Is there any way to fix this???

Matulga,
> This is the official Flash forum, right?
Yes, it is; but forum answers are provided by volunteers,
comprised of
professionals and amateurs alike. Not all questions are
answered,
unfortunately. Sometimes this happens because a question
hasn't been
clearly stated. Sometimes it happens because no one on the
forums happens
to know the answer. In this case, for example, the issue is
that Firefox
fails to print Flash content. I saw your question, thought to
myself, "Hmm,
that's interesting," and tested a handful of Flash sites in
Firefox. I was
able to print Flash content just fine (same in IE, but that
wasn't a problem
for you either). I tested a handful more and did find pages
where the Flash
content didn't print -- but then it didn't print in *either*
browser and I
assumed it was due to the way the Flash had been embedded. So
I don't have
an answer to this question, which is why I didn't answer
right away. I can
only speak for myself, of course.

Why Firefox doesn't load flash?

I've had this problem in the past and I had to move to Opera for a while but got solved I don't know how. Today when I turned on my PC today the flash updater appeared like always and I updated it. Then I go to youtube and I can't see the video. It was fine yesterday. Then I realised no flash content was loading. It just shows an empty space where the flash thing should be. I tried uninstalling flash and firefox and installing a previous flash and nothing works. What can I do? Oh, I use firefox 4.

Well, yeah... right after I found the problem I tried uninstalling/installing again both firefox 4 and the flash player without any success. Then I returned to firefox 3,5 to write here then I noticed the flash was working again. That's the computer I use at my office. At home I still have a perfectly working firefox 4 because I didn't do the update that made it fail. Both computers run Windows XP but I don't remember if the one at the office has SP3... I know the one at home does have it. The one at my office tells me now to get firefox 4 but I don't want to because I won't be able to play flash.
Oh, one last thing... recently I can't put attachments on my hotmail e-mails and it only happens with firefox. On IE and Opera it works fine.

Firefox doesn't recognize FLASH after update, no matter what. Also says to update plugins but there are none to update listed?

I have downloaded & re-downloaded FLASH, but after I updated my Firefox to 22.0 it no longer recognizes FLASH is installed on my computer. It also keep telling me "Some plugins required by this page have been blocked for your protection." When I check the plugins, the 3 listed are up to date, and the other 3 are marked "research" - which doesn't allow you to update them. I cannot discern that any of those are what is being blocked. When I click on Details, it brings me to a list of "Modules bloqués" and it's all listed in French...which would be great if spoke French or lived in France, but alas California is in the USA. My Java is updated, enabled & not blocked in any way. My Shockwave Flash is disabled & it will not give me the option to Enable it; I also cannot find a way to reinstall it or find a plugin to help me. !@#$%! So frustrating that this new "update" is useless. I hate 22.0.
What do I do now?

Your System Details List shows that some plugins are blocklisted and Flash is included:
# plugin.blocklisted.flash: True
# plugin.blocklisted.java: True
# plugin.blocklisted.nppdf: True
Which version of the Flash plugin do you have installed if you check that in Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > > Plugins?
You will have to update Flash to make it work.
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.

[SOLVED]Firefox doesn't detect Flash plugin on a fresh installation

I have tried the package in extra and the package from AUR, but firefox still doesn't register the flash plugin. I'm probably just missing something here..
[tapio@Pochi flashplugin-alpha-64]$ ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
libflashplayer.so
Is there something extra I have to do other than installing the package? I looked at the old wiki page for using nspluginwrapper but I couldn't see anything that looked relevant..
Any help would be much appreciated.

Internet Explorer doesn't handle Flash Form on a single page

On FireFox 2.0.0.12 (Linux), the attach code displays two
accordions.
On Internet Explorer 7 (Windows XP), only one accordion is

First, How do I determine if this Internet Explorer or a
Flash error?
Second, Is there a fix?

Hi,
Which version of CF you are using there?.. If this is because
of any recent migration (like from MX7 to 8) then try replacing the
"Scripts" directory from CF8 with the one you have with MX7.

PDF viewer in Firefox doesn't handle feathering of edges and soft shadows

In Firefox 25.01 for Mac OS 10.6.8, I have looked on a website at a pdf created in and exported to pdf from inDesign. The pics and text use some of the basic filters - like drop shadow and basic feather. This all comes out blocky as if it has no idea what to do with gradations. And it is chaos on the page because edges are overlapping text and so on.
It reads fine in Safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) when looked at online. It also reads fine when the pdf downloaded and looked at in Acrobat. But Firefox is totally confused.
Is there a fix?
Thanks.

Printing (or print preview) a Pie Flash Chart in Firefox doesn't work

Hi,
my page with four flash chart in firefox doesn't work.
In IE is OK.
Firefox 2.0.0.0
Application Express 3.0.1.00.08
Any Help?
Thanks in advance

Are you printing from the Flash right-click menu or through Firefox? I don't think Firefox prints Flash regions when you print the entire page.

Flash is not handled correctly with Firefox. In an Flash Environment modules are re-initialized if other embedded flash modules in the main one are rotating

We develop flash modules for clients. In the latest Firefox with the latest Flash Plugin it happens that flash components are affected when other components are rotating .
For example if you open one of our demo's
http://www.crocon-media.com/?page_id=190&lang=en
and you click in the top on "MUSIC" a radio player will load. Before the Intro MP3 file is played completely, some modules that are embedded in that flash rotate, means they re-start. This never affected all other embedded modules but do now. The radio component simply stops playing. This does not happen in any Internet Explorer version and has worked with under Firefox before.

After putting those 2 flash components out the bundle we also see, that even if the rotating flash is loaded separately and another for example audio streaming flash module is running, once the stand-alone rotating flash module is starting back at frame 0 it affects all other flash modules on the same page, even if they are not connected to each other. This is a serious issue.

Firefox doesn't work adequately with some flash-based sites

Firefox will load most flash-based videos and play them for 5-10 seconds. If I click out of or minimize the browser, it will hang and proceed to a state similar to "Not responding". I originally thought this was spread across all browsers, but Chrome seems to be unaffected. I've uninstalled and reinstalled flash numerous times with no luck.

Flash 9 and Firefox on 10.4.7; firefox doesn't detect the plugin.

Yea, Hi. Can anyone help me with finding out why Firefox will not display flash; firefox keeps syaing that the plugin needs to be downloaded, but I already updated to FLASH 9 a few weeks ago. And Safari plays FLASH fine.
Anyway, when i was on a page with flash Using Firefox, It allowed, me to download it (Flash), and even though I already have it, I though Id download it again, since Firefox wasnt detecting it. Anwway, Firefox wont even download the Flash, it tells me someting about "unlicensed" when I try to download the plugin.
no biggie , ill just use Safari in the meantime, but Im trying to find out whats wrong here.

I have Flash 9 and FireFox 1.5.0.4 recognizes it and works on the sites I tested (Adobe and my own). The error message about unlicensed stuff is something I have never seen. Try to reinstall FireFox.

I downloaded Newest mozilla yesterday, adobe updated, and now when I click a YouTube video I get a box saying "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (rtsp) isn't associated with any program." and can't watch any videos?

I downloaded the latest version of Mozilla Firefox yesterday, full and complete, and I am actually using it right now. The only problem I have had is upon clicking any YouTube video, the box pops up saying "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (rtsp) isn't associated with any program." But there are no directions or suggestions on how to address this problem. Ive looked at YouTube add-ons and none of them really seem related. Upon the finish of the new Mozilla, I also was prompted to upgrade the flash player, and did so without any trouble. I am only guessing this is an extension/plug-in problem. I really am quite confused!

Since yesterday clicking on a link in an email message firefox doesn't open a new tab with that particular website.

I am using Firefox 3.6.13 on a 2009 Mac Pro computer (OSX 10.6.6). Up until yesterday when I clicked on a link in an email message Firefox opened a new tab and switched to that particular website. Since yesterday Firefox doesn't do that. I have Firefox set up as my default browser. I tried to change my default browser to Safari, then everything worked fine. Clicking on a link in a message a new tab has opened in Safari with that particular website. My problem is, that I like Firefox a bit more than Safari and I'd like to know what to do to restore that functionality to Firefox.

It's a good idea to try disabling Flash completely and see whether the problem continues. If it does, then my guess is incorrect. To test that, open this tab:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
Here you can locate Shockwave Flash and use the Disable button. Keep this tab open for easy access when doing your test.
''If your test confirms that Flash is causing the problem,'' then the other thread has two suggested workarounds. The first is simple to understand (keep some Flash running at all times) but may be inconvenient to do all the time. The second is trickier because it requires editing a file in (or creating and then dragging a file into) a system folder. Fortunately you only need to do it once.

Firefox doesn't display some text on certain pages.

I've noticed that on some pages, Firefox doesn't display certain text. I have the newest version of Firefox installed and my flash and java are updated. The text displays fine on Chrome and IE. Please see my example in the screenshots of the stevenson.edu webpage. Does anybody know what I can do to fix this problem or if there is some sort of plugin I am missing to display certain content? Thanks.

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.
