Firefox, Flash problem

Hi.
i have develop a flash application with heavy actionscript
coding.
the application work ok in IE , but not showing up in
Firefox.
i wonder if there a limit of actionsript coding that flash
can take?

No my dear,
No limitation for scripting.
Please check in what version u published that SWF.
What version of player FireFox is having....
Continues multiple checking will slow down your code(Example
onenterframe check on multiple movieClip)

Firefox not helping with Flash problem

Ok, so, I'm getting really irritated with Flash. I talked to
a friend who was having flash problems and they said they
downloaded Firefox and it fixed the problem. Well, after doing
EVERYTHING else first, I thought, what the heck, maybe it might
actually work. So I downloaded and installed Firefox. Ok, that
installed perfectly fine. So I used Firefox to download Flash 9. I
thought all was going to work out, because Firefox didn't just
refresh the page like Internet Explorer did whenever I clicked the
"Agree and download now" button on the download page. It actually
downloaded and "said" it installed correctly. But I still can't
play ANYTHING no Youtube STILL!! I go to youtube on Firefox and
aperently it doesn't regonize any Flash on my computer. I go to
youtube on Internet Ex. and it says I need the latest version of
Flash. I tried rebooting the computer. I tried uninstalling and
installing it AGAIN. What the F is the problem? I've made sure all
my AxtiveX controlls are set to whatever thry need to be, my
Shockwave is updated, my security is not interfearing. I'm getting
really pissed. I've been trying to fix this problem for months
now!! What else could be going wrong?? Is there something I haven't
tried yet? Do I just need to get a new F-ing computer? Someone
help!!

Well the first thing you need to understand is this...
Flash Player for Windows Internet Explorer is an ActiveX
control.
Flash Player for Windows for ALL other browsers is a plugin.
They do the same thing ultimately, but they're separate
downloads and on your machine they're actually seperate bits of
software.
So the reason that so many people have success with Firefox
is that the Flash Player plugin seldom has install failures. But
for IE Windows users the Flash Player activex control often has
permission-related install failures that cause these kind of
issues. It's unfortunate, but very, very complex and we've been
fighting it for a long time.
So the thing to remember is that when you're talking about
Firefox, you're not dealing with ActiveX controls in ANY way.
So here's the question.. When you launch JUST Firefox, and go
to this page, what do you see?

Flash problem persists after 6 months...does this new information help?

Hi All!
I posted my problem almost 6 months ago, (I'll paste some of the info below to bring you up to date), but I STILL can't access only FOUR sites because I get a "Plugin file is missing" error, (after my previous post I found 2 other sites). I've been trying to solve this problem off & on, but I got more dedicated the other day because I'll be needing access to these sites very soon. I found some new information today that I hope will solve this awful problem; however, since I'm not very technically inclined I know I have to ask a "Flash Expert", so here goes....
I run Windows 8 & I use Mozilla exclusively. I updated Flash the other day to version 15.0.0.152 & I wanted to make sure the plugins had been updated, so I opened the "Flash Player Settings Manager" & under the "Advanced" tab it lists:
                                        NPAPI Plugin Version 15.0.0.152
                                        PPAPI Plugin Version Not installed
Is it significant that the PPAPI Plugin is "Not installed", or does Mozilla only require the NPAPI plugin?
My second question regards the installation of Flash. I know that when a program is problematic, it sometimes helps to uninstall & reinstall it...I recently had a game that went nuts & that's the procedure I had to do. Also, someone on Mozilla's forum said they were having a Flash issue & they went to your site & downloaded the .exe AND the .msi Installers from the Distribution Page, then manually installed them & their problem was resolved. Would this help me resolve MY Flash problem? If you think it's worth a try, do I have to uninstall Flash first?
Well, that's all the new info I have. I have to figure this out before December because that's when the nest-cam comes back on...I really have to get this problem fixed! I'll paste my previous post below, but I hope the uninstall/reinstall method will be the answer!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Here's my previous post:
Flash 13.0.0.214 does NOT work on some sites, but works fine on all others in Using Flash Player
Hi!
I watch several wildlife nest-cams every day running Windows 8 using Firefox 29.0.1, but yesterday morning, (after I'd already watched the 6 cams I view every day), I started getting a solid, black screen with, "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found", on TWO of these sites.
My attempts to resolve the problem were:
1. Checked all the other web-cam sites I view daily, and there's only a problem on 2 of them.
2. Went to You Tube, Facebook & other similar sites and I can view streaming media.
3. Refreshed pages-when that didn't help, I closed & reopened Firefox & still 2 sites with "plugin loading error"
4. Completely shut-down my laptop & rebooted.
5. Did "System Restore" to earlier in the day when ALL web-cam sites were working.
6. Went to Adobe Flash site & verified that I had the most current version...I do, & I saw the animations on Flash site.
7. Verified my Flash Plugins in Firefox...AGAIN...they're all activated & up-to-date
8. Checked & re-checked ALL the web-cam sites I view every day, (for, at least the 10th time), and the
     same 2 sites are still showing the "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found" on a black screen. Even
     though the video isn't seen the "chat" area is functioning, (I don't know if that's important, but I
     thought I should mention it).
9. I posted the issue on Firefox's Forum but no one has an answer since Flash works everywhere except
     for 2 sites.
I've tried everything I can think of to troubleshoot this, but as you can see, I've had no success in solving this "mystery".
As for the 2 sites I can't view, they are:
                                    http://www.pixcontroller.com/eagles/    And
                                    http://www.westmorelandconservancy.org/BlueBirdWebcam-1.htm
I've been watching these sites for MONTHS, so why I can't view them all of a sudden, well, I'm clueless, (I guess you already figured that out...ha ha ha). I was watching the 2 sites listed above early yesterday morning, then when I looked at one of the other cams I view and came back to these 2 sites, I got the "error message".
I hope you have a solution for me, as I'm desperate! I'm WAY behind in my documentation for these 2 sites, so hopefully you'll have an easy answer. If it's a technical thing, please use LOTS of details, as I'm not very technically inclined.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
DogPal
P.S. I just checked on another site that offers many different wildlife cams, & I CAN view the "Pittsburgh Bald Eagles" if I go through: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pittsburgh-bald-eagles    I'm sure this means something, but since I don't understand this technical stuff I don't know what that is! (I told you I'm clueless!)

I definitely see a problem with the pixcontroller/eagles site on Windows 8.1. It works fine for me in the same version of Firefox on Windows 7. It's unclear to me whether it's a Firefox or a Flash Player issue, but I'm happy to look into it further and get some bugs filed.
As a temporary workaround, both sites work fine with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Issue with Firefox & Flash Player Installation

This topic has probably already been brought up but I need
some help, please! I can't seem to find anything that matches
exactly what I'm going though here.
Yesterday I did a clean install of Vista. (I had some missing
.dll files for some reason). I re-installed Firefox, and went
through with all the Windows updates, etc. and everything has been
fine. Today, I have been trying to install Flash Player through
Firefox (Flash player is working fine on IE). It goes through the
motion of downloading it from the Adobe site, and it also states
that the download is complete, but when I go to a website such as
Facebook, it's giving me a couple of messages. The actual site's
message is: "Flash Player upgrade required. You must download and
install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player to view this
content." as well as I get the yellow bar up top from Firefox
saying, "Additional plugins are required to display all the media
on this page" and has a button to click saying "Install missing
plugins". When I click on either this button or the "Download
Flash" button on the actual webpage, again, it goes through the
motion of downloading it, but that's as far as it goes. In my
"downloads" window, it shows a bunch of times that I had downloaded
the flash player, but it doesn't even give me the option to open
the file.
Up until yesterday, I did in fact have flash on Firefox.
Another thing I noticed, was when I re-installed Firefox, the
download scheme is a little different (I don't have the download
box at the bottom of the window anymore and I'm not sure why or if
this is just a new version of Firefox that I didn't have before.)
In any event, when I would save the flash player during the
download, I tried a couple of different locations (desktop and
another location in C drive) but when I go to those locations,
there is nothing there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was having the same problem installing Flash 10 for Firefox
and getting the "Insufficient Disk Space" message. I believe this
happens to people whose main local disks have a name other than
"C:" Mine is "G:" I think the problem is that its an install
package that automatically tries to install it on a C: local disk
directory. There is no option to manually install it to a different
directory, so we seem to be out of luck.
However, I did find a link explaining how to manually install
it:
http://www.varesano.net/blog/fabio/installing+flash+player+plugin+firefox+without+having+a dministrator+access+or+premissions
At step 1. Right click the link and choose "Save Link As" and
delete the ".xpi" extension and type ".zip" to save the file as a
".zip" file.
Even though the instructions are for a different problem, I
followed the steps and it worked fine for my problem as
well.

Netscape/Firefox Flash-Plug-In

Wer kann mir verraten, wo genau dieses Plug-In auf der Adobe-Seite herunterzulagen ist. Meine bisherige Suche war leider vergeblich. Ich hoffe, mir kann da jemand behilflich sein.
Vielen Dank

Vielen Dank für die schnelle Antwort, leider ist mein Problem damit nicht gelöst. Obwohl ich den aktuellsten Adobe-Flashplayer bereits installiert habe, kann ich die Live-Ansicht nicht öffnen. Es erscheint nach wie vor folgender Hinweis:
Das Flash-Plug-In wurde nicht gefunden. Um SWF-Inhalte in der Live-Ansicht anzuzeigen, installieren Sie das Netscape/Firefox-Flash-Plug-In, das Sie unter www.adobe.com/de herunterladen können.

Flash problem in IE - not the usual one.

I am new to the game here. I've created some pages that use a
Flash video player. The user can click on a list of available
videos (XML generated), and the video will load in the player and
play.
Works fine in IE and Safari on Mac.
Works terrible in Firefox on Mac and Windows (seems to need
to buffer for a long time before play starts - longer than the
specified buffer time).
In IE for Windows - videos play fine and load fast. but -
activating a video seems to "lock out" the rest of the page -
rendering the ability to click through to other links not possible.
Eventually, if i smash around enough, i can get a link to work -
but its a terrible experience. This doesn't seem to be the "usual"
Flash problem in IE (ie click to activate) - but I'm new - so this
may be a related issue?
Help??? I don't even know where to begin.

http://64.38.28.254
thank you in advance.

Try changing the line:
td { }
in your CSS file 'basic.css' to:
td { vertical-align: top; }
This will align all table cells on your web site to the top.

Firefox Flash Plugin bug?

Hi everyone,
I have multiple Flex Applications (wrapped as portlets in
Liferay) working on the same page at the same time in separate
flash players, of course.
When I access the page by Mosilla Firefox browser, all page
portlets get reloaded after the last one is initialized.
And the worst - each of them gets initialized again - it
means that all data gets loaded again. This is proved by log
records: in case of Firefox each portlet loads data twice, in case
of using IE - once.
Have you ever faced the same problem? Is it a Firefox Flash
plugin bug or what?
Thanks in advance.

Updates:
I've opened a bug with Adobe regarding this issue:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-4362
Also, the Cancel operation on a FileReference causes the same issue to happen as does loading. I really think it's an operating system focus issue.
UPDATE:
Looks like this has already been tracked and is scheduled to be fixed:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-2785

Do I need to drop Mozilla since they can't seem to solve the Adobe Flash problem?

I have followed every step suggested to fix Adobe Flash crashing problem. Is the real solution to just drop Mozilla and switch to Chrome? Seem Adobe Flash works just fine there...

By the way, it would be useful if you could mention which settings you have changed. The headline suggestions for working around Flash problems usually include the following:
(1) Disable protected mode (Win Vista and Win 7 only)
See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Check for and resolve conflicts with Firefox add-ons (e.g., using Safe Mode or a clean profile)
(4) For display issues with scrolling, disable Smooth Scrolling and Autoscrolling here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General

SAFARI 4 HANGS/FREEZES/CRASHES ... FLASH PROBLEM

Okay, this is my first Post to an Apple Discussion Forum of any sort.
I've been using Mac OS X (Tiger) for a few years now, and had switched to Safari from Mozilla Firefox. No probs w/ Safari as of 3.2.3 I think it was, but now that I've upgraded to Safari 4, I've got a problem where it seems to lock up. A page will seem to have a status of "Loading ..." indefinitely, and hitting the "X" next to the word "Loading" to stop the loading, or clicking on a Bookmark Menu button, or anything of that sort doesn't work. The page just doesn't load, or will eventually start to load some stuff super slowly. You can go in to Safari's menu options though.
I've seemed to isolate it to a Flash problem.
I've uninstalled Flash (the latest version from Adobe), re-installed, repaired Permissions, and many other things that I've read in similar Posts, to no resolution.
Sites will actually load fast, and Safari seems to work if Flash plug-ins are moved from the Library>Internet Plug-ins folder (to the Disabled Plug-ins folder for example)... until you are on a site that uses Flash, where you'll get an error about not having plug-in for that application/MIME type (ie www.hulu.com).
At this point I'd be happy to uninstall Safari 4, and re-install Safari 3. I've downloaded both .DMG's, because another Post suggested the Safari 4 .DMG would also include the Uninstaller. I only have the Install package though.
I guess I'm asking for either an answer to ...
A) Where can I find the Safari 4 Uninstaller (yet maybe not lose bookmarks) so I can re-install Safari 3? ... or
B) Does anybody know of an effective way to resolve the Flash issue?
Thanks in advance for replies/suggestions!

Your experience sounds much like mine. There is a thread under my post named "Safari and Flash Player." Unfortunately, I have gotten no other suggestions in my thread, likewise doing everything you did to no avail. Unlike radbrad, I am having no apparent issues with JavaScript. Like IdidLikeSafari, I have been able to isolate the conflict to Flash: disabling that plugin alone prevents the hang-up. The curious thing for me is how site specific it is: I can run Flash content on lots of sites, and everything shows successful on Adobe's player test without any loading issues. I have reported to Apple. Adobe's bug report appears to work differently from Apple's, requiring an Adobe account I have not created. Perhaps this issue should be reported to Adobe as well, but for me there were absolutely no issues until Safari 4. Just like IdidLikeSafari, I had no issues at all under 3.2.3. So it appears the fault must be caused by Safari 4 somehow.
I don't know if you saw the thread about the hard-disk renaming workaround. I tried it, and it did not work for me. But since it is so simple and harmless, you might as well see if it works if you haven't tried it yet. I'm sorry that I can't remember the name of that thread, though.

Each time the firefox will make com hangs awhile when ply a sound, after close firefox the problem solved.

When Firefox opened, and the system ply a sound, the com will hang awhile, but after I close Firefox, the problem solved itself, if I disable all plugins, the problem solved, can help check which plugins will cause this problem or this is Firefox problem???
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== ply a sound

I changed the setting, but unfortunately, this didn't fix the problem. This situation does seem to occur more, when I load or reload my eBay home page. I noticed that all data and information would go ahead and load, but the random ads bar would not immediately load and when I would left click anywhere on the page, Firefox would temporarily freeze, the page turns white, Firefox not responding will display, and then the banner would load and everything is fine. I'm wondering if it has something to do with my Flash Player. Any additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Reggie

We've reached out to the Hotmail team and they've determined that this is a bug in their code. (It was masked by a timing issue in 3.5 that was fixed in 3.6.) We've worked with them to develop a fix but they may not have deployed it yet.

Firefox gets problems when 2,7 GB of memory is used by Firefox

Firefox gets problems when 2,7 GB of memory is used by Firefox. Or more. Like 2,8 GB.
It started when I read jpost.com with tens of tabs open. I don't remember how many. But I know there was more than 40.
On the tab I that I was reading, the page turned completely black. Pitch black with nothing else, not even the Firefox interface. It was actually a pitch black shape that looked like a web page in shape. The blackness quickly disappeared and the page was normally readable again. But then it happened again - the page turned black again.
The same page turns black happened again later.
One of my browsing sessions had Firefox slow down so much that you could see scrolling happening when I used scrolling.
Still another time I had 60 tabs open and Firefox worked completely fine without freezes, slowdowns, or black shapes. I could close Firefox by just pressing the red X in the title bar.
Yesterday, I had 50 tabs open and I experienced a slowdown when I looked at the Breaking News headlines. The headlines would show slower than usual. The Breaking News headlines at jpost.com show the headlines a few words at a time until the headline is completely shown. Then the headline disappears and the next starts showing a few words at a time. And speed in general was not what you normally have with a computer that has 8 GB of memory. And a Core i5 processor. I opened two more tabs from the Breaking News section I had opened. After I opened a new window, Firefox froze. I had to close Firefox from the Task Manager by pressing End process. I had used Firefox for 6 hours without ever closing any of the tabs I had opened.
In all of these cases, more than 40 tabs were open. In all of these cases, the slow down or freeze meant I had to use Task Manager and then press End process on the Processes tab. In all cases except the two I describe in the next paragraph, I never close any tabs after opening them. No problems have ever happened until Firefox started using 2,7 GB of memory. Until that point, everything is normal with no freezes or slowdowns.
At two times, I tried to reduce memory usage by closing tabs. However, in both cases this would make Firefox freeze. In one of these cases, Firefox would show something bizarre: there would be about 7 tabs, and one of the tabs would be partly shown. Also, Firefox would show the busy cursor. Firefox did not show how many tabs I actually had. The second time, I tried to close the tabs by clicking Close other tabs in the menu that you get when right-click a tab. The tabs would close fine, but I remember that I opened Gmail and then I did this: I clicked on the Promotions tab. Instead of seeing the tab with the Emails, Firefox showed a busy cursor and the title bar said not responding. Firefox froze.
The reason might be Adblock Plus memory usage. In Adblock Plus home page, developer Wladimir Palant writes in his blog about how Adblock Plus uses a lot of memory: https://adblockplus.org/blog/on-the-adblock-plus-memory-consumption .

One more bit of information: I have a Geforce 640 GT graphics card. My graphics card drivers are old- version 311.41. The newest version of the drivers is 340.52. Would a new graphics card driver solve the problem?

I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

Flash problem after software update (on 10.6.8)

I'm having flash problems on *some* macs after one of the recent software updates (june 2012).
On my school's 10 iMac's (2010), I can't play flash games anymore *in safari*. Chrome is ok.
An example site, is http://www.barryfunenglish.com/games.php (select any game)
But on my school's 6 MacBook Pro's, I can - both safari and chrome.
It was working 2 weeks ago on all computers.
I'm using Software Update server from our server to update all the macs, so it's possible there was an update problem.
Why is flash missing on the 10 imacs safari? But not on the macbook pros?

AppleJason wrote:
so did Apple uninstall flash on safari with it's latest update? do you know the reason?
Yes, it was blacklisted by Adobe for security vulnerabilities. OS X now checks to make certain you are running a safe version and disables it if you aren't.
With the latest update, you now have the option of having Adobe doing a "Silent Update" in the background without your having to do anything. I would recommend you implement it.

If you guys do not know what is the problem, please let me know!

Did you check all possibilities from the "Website_colors_are_wrong" article including the Windows accessibility setting?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
