Firefox recognizes Quicktime as Flash Player instead of Flash as Flash Player

I don't know why when I go to websites and all those old
Flash sites don't work anymore, but I get the "Quicktime Question
Mark" logo. I've tried reinstalling Flash Player so many times but
the quicktime logo keeps coming up. I've tried this both with
Firefox and Safari and it just doesn't work.

Interesting answer for me and hope it works for you,
xplayman. In the following answer, Reminder: I have a G5 Dual 2k
PPC Mac and was suprised that QT manages Flash! I skipped #1.
Because It was already installed. Went to Apple Disscussions and
received this answer:
I have experienced the same issues. Have you recently
updated to QT 7.2? If so, I think you will find it does not want to
to play nice with Adobe Flash (you will find posts all over this QT
Support message board about it).
Try this:
1. Go the the Adobe Flash homepage and reinstall the latest
Flash Player for Mac.
2. Start the QuickTime Player application. Go into QuickTime
Player>QT Preferences. Click on the "ADVANCED" tab.
3. Make sure "ENABLE FLASH" is ON.
4. At the bottom you will see "MIME SETTINGS...". Click on
this button.
5. Scroll down to "MISCELLANEOUS - MISCELLANEOUS FILE
FORMATS".
6. Turn OFF the "FLASH MEDIA" option and klick "OK".
7. Restart your computer.
Hope this works for you. Good Luck!

Why won't firefox recognize flash player?

firefox would not allow flash player download. now i cannot run videos.

I had a problem like that. Where youtube on firefox doesn't seem to recognize Adobe Flash player. What I did is I went to control panel, programs and features, and unistalled Adobe Flash player. After that I restarted my computer and after it rebooted, I reinstalled Adobe Flash player and now youtube works.

Firefox wont load any flash player or let me download anything

Firefox wont load any flash player videos and when it does it only buffers so far. I can't download anything like anti-mal/spyware to check if its anything like that.

Try to boot the computer in Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.
Do you have access to another computer to download the anti-mal/spyware programs and put them on a USB stick with the latest updates or their databases?
You can also try to download them via sites like FileHippo.

How do I close firefox to install Adobe Flash Player

How do I Close Firefox to install Adobe Flash Player?

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#Direct link ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''': http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

Can't get safari to recognize my adobe flash player plug in on a mac book pro

Can you please help me get safari to recognize my adobe flash player plugin on a mac book pro. Fire fox does not have a problem.
thanks,

Hi t,
You may have to uninstall it (see Adobe's site and follow directions exactly) and then install the latest version (again, follow directions exactly).

Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

Question
Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. Every site that uses Flash player gives me a message saying that I need to update to the latest version of Flash player, but I have done so, and I keep getting the same message. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

You can hold down the Shift key and double click the Firefox desktop icon to start Firefox in [[Safe mode]].

I am sick and tired of Firefox crashing from Adobe Flash player. All support statements say to reinstall and that doesnt solve the problem!

I am sick and tired of your Firefox not supporting Adobe Flash player. Windows explorer no problem it works fine. All of your support statements tell me to reinstall and I've tried that more than once and nothing improves! It is slowing up my computer, and I have a windows folder with 4.8Mb of auto generated crash messages!

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
* see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
'''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)

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.

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 refuses to download Flash Updates

Trying to update flash via the browser since that seems to be the only way now. But it refuses. The last 2 updates, every time I have tried, the Download is immediately canceled and no matter what I do it will not download. Last update I had to get a friend to send me the file directly.

Normally I'd go about it like this:
# I suggest backing up your data in Firefox (Bookmarks and all) and uninstall it. I'd use [http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html Revo Uninstaller] to remove the application, it's files and registry entries. Use the free version, it does not make much difference with the pro.
# Download and Reinstall [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ Firefox]
# Reload your data (Import bookmarks)
# As for Flash, download the plugin via [http://filehippo.com/download_flashplayer/ Filehippo]. Choose the Non-IE version and select which one suits your OS (32bit or 64bit). This is a system-wide Flash installer so other browsers like Chrome or Opera gets Flash using this method as well.

Can I install the Flash Plugin for Firefox, and the Adobe Flash application program, on the same machine?

PC with Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Firefox 33.1
Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223 installed as a Firefox plug-in.
Everything performs perfectly, and I particularly like the fact that when I encounter a file (usually video) on the web, I can ACTIVATE ADOBE FLASH on a once-only basis, rather than ALWAYS FOR THIS SITE.
So here is my question. I encountered a .SWF file on the web, and played it through the plugin. I then downloaded the file to my desktop. From the desktop, there does not seem to be a way to play it through the Firefox Plug-in. Is this correct - am I missing something?
In order to play the file, do I need to install a copy of Shockwave Flash or Adobe Flash Player as a standalone application program on my machine? Is it OK to have both the standalone application and the Firefox plugin on one machine? By the way, I am not interested in using WMP as the player.
Thanks
Bill

VLC Player looks like a nice application, and it will play FLV files. However, it will not play .SWF files, which was the subject of my initial query. I admit that I am a little confused about the difference between .SWF and .FLV, since they are both called Flash files. My bad. I would love to find a standalone player that will handle both. Nothing fancy required - just play the file!
As a side note, I downloaded VLC Player from the link you suggested. It installed easily and worked well. However, a Google search reveals that there are a number of sources for corrupted versions of the player, which contain malware. Thank you, Fred, for a straight steer.

Upgrade to media source 5 and now does not recognize my Zen Touch player!?

JUpgrade to media source 5 and now does not recognize my Zen Touch player!
st off, I was having issues with mp3's transferring to my zen touch, it would say file cannot transfer, invalid format or something of the like.. The creative audio converter would not allow the file to be converted as it said the source was not availble, all odd as the files worked fine on my computer and were mp3 format. I did get them to transfer after downloading another 3rd party converter, I wanted to get past using another program though so I updated to media source 5, along with firmware updates to most recent for the zen touch.
Once I had updated it would not recognize my player, I opened version 3.xxx whatever and it did recognize. Thinking maybe it has an issue with both being installed I unistalled the old version. Same problem, still does not see my player. I upated the driver for the player as well, and my computer now could see the zen touch instead of unknown usb device, media source 5 no go still at this point. I opened windows media 0 and it saw the player and I could transfer files, but the lay out and editing cababilities are limited.
Basically I want to know what to do get this thing detected so I can use media source 5 to organize my files. Someone please help me.

N Oh how I love the beauty of forums! Fantastic. So you know the fix went for my issue here, I had already upgraded the zen/jukebox driver to version 2.0 to no avail, and did not get the play for sure firmware as it says all data will be lost, but I did upgrade with the other option on the support downloads section before as well to no avail. Thanks to?GuyGraham, after I installed the app update for Creative ZEN and NOMAD Jukebox Plugin 5.00.22 for Creative MediaSource 5 Player/Organizer it works once again!! I just do not see how this file isn't included with the media source 5 application in the first place. Either or thanks a lot you guys, problem sovled!

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?

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.
