Firefox is hanging after trying to update Adobe Flash. I can't fix it as long as Firefox is open, but I'm unable to close it-menu bar won't even appear.
In the process of updating Adobe Flash, Firefox froze. It registers as being open, and none of the fixes I've tried will work as long as it's open, but I can't close it. Even when I click on the Firefox icon, the Firefox menu bar doesn't appear. No Firefox window appears.
Good advice - I'll keep that in mind. Thanks

Trying to update adobe flash, keep getting 'quit dashboard client'. Everytime I try to, it pops back up. Even after going to activity monitor and force quitting. What is it and how can I quit it so I can install this update??
Restart the computer from Apple menu.
When restart dialog box appears, uncheck the box beside
"Reopen windows when logging back in". -

trying to update adobe flash player on firefox and it keeps saying "Quit Firefox" but I did.
Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Do you have a MAC or Windows ?
For Windows, you can launch Windows Task Manager and go to Processes Tab, kill "Firefox.exe"
For MAC, you can launch Activity Monitor and Force Quit "Firefox"

DdI am unable to access firefox or thunderbird after trying to update firefox
I tried to update firefox and both my firefox and thunderbird are not accessable any more. I tried to delete them and start over with no success. I get a widdow saying I must reboot to delete a prior version of firefox and when I click it that is the end. now I can not access my e-mail to get information from mozilla.
hello arbenny, this is an old homepage that wasn't maintained after firefox 4, but it was still hosted by google for the time the search contract between google and mozilla was in place, which is now no longer the case.
the new default homepage that firefox uses now is '''about:home''', which you can set like described at [[How to set the home page]] -
Endless loading after trying to update Adobe Exchange in Photoshop CC
Hi,
When I open Window > Extensions > Adobe Exchange, I cannot use it becouse it asks me to update. When I click yes it starts downloading and installing and popups a dialogue box saying "Adobe Extension Manager is required to install this extension. Do you want to launch Extension Manager now?".
If I click yes, there appears an endlessly spinning circle in the Adobe Exchange Window. And that's it.
All CC programs are up to date. The Adobe Extension Manager is installed and can be opened manually from the start menu.
I did the same procedure in Fireworks without any problem.
Can anyone please tell me what to do so I can install plugins in Photoshop?
Thanks in Advance,
Roeland

Trying to update Adobe Flash Player: 'update' seems to be OUT of date
I've been trying to download updated version of Adobe Flash Player over & over again for over two hours. The only available version reads 'updated April 19, 2013' and does not work - I am still seeing "blocked plug-in" everywhere there should be a video playing. How do I find and download the most up to date version? (If this IS the most up to date version, what is the problem?)
What does this thing want??!!!?!If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
5. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
6. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane. -

nearly every 2 days on facebook whilst using The latest firefox i get the message that i need to update my adobe flash player, upon checking i find it want to update it to the same version i already have installed, i have checked for viruses and malware and numerouse other things but there is nothing on my system.
Why does it just keep on crashing? is it you or is it adobeYou can check for issues caused by plugins and set all plugins to "Ask to Activate" on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" page (plugins are not affected by Firefox Safe Mode)
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers<br>https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

cannot download adobe flash player on firefox it says i need to disable firefox first? If i have to disable how do i do it.
Download and installation are two separate steps. The Adobe Flash '''installation''' procedure requires that Firefox be closed before installing Flash.
orange Firefox button > '''''Exit''''' or File > Exit to close Firefox. Then wait a minute or so before starting to install Flash. -
