Firefox says adobe won't work, update installed, still not working

Firefox says my Adobe needs to be updated-I update the program and am still getting the same error message and adobe isn't working either.

hello dzucker, according to your system details, you still have adobe reader 9.4.5 present which is vulnerable. please update at least to version 9.5.3 or the current acrobat reader XI which are available at https://get.adobe.com/reader/ (the site currently seems down/has some issues, so if it doesn't work immediately check back a little bit later).

I have spent hours trying to install Adobe Flash on Firefox and it won't work.

I have spent hours trying to install Adobe Flash on Firefox and it won't work.

Seems a common problem.
What OS are you using, Windows 8 64 bit or something? Win 8 has an embedded Flash Player on it, and I have been told here that if this is the case, installing a new version of Flash Player is not necessary, but Fire Fox needs the plug in. They came out with a Flash Player plug in for use with Fire Fox that includes a debugger, but I have not tried it yet. (see below).
I have tried installing Flash Player 11.8.800.994 and 11.7.70.224...... and all crash. I think maybe some anti virus software needs to be disabled to allow installation, or the anti virus thinks its malware. I am also not sure if I need to also install Shockwave Flash for the whole thing to work?
Not sure the following will help and I am about to try it because I am going round in circles, too.
If 11.7 extended support release works for you, would you please update your success by adding a reply at the bottom of your original post, and let us know what you did that worked?
Good luck!
Announcement: Attention: Please read for important changes to Flash Player 10.3
Hide Details
Beginning July 9th, 2013 we will be updating the version of our "extended support release" from Flash Player 10.3 to Flash Player 11.7 for Mac and Windows. To continue to stay current with all available security updates you will need to install the 11.7 extended support release or update to the most recent available release (11.8, etc.) For full details, please see this blog post:
Extended Support Release Updated to Flash Player 11.7

You Tube not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update

You Tube and other sites are not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update for both. Adobe Flash is working on other sites but not You tube and those sites that may have embedded You Tube videos, I'm not sure.
Adobe Flash does not crash and no error message is showing. All that shows is a dark screen for the Flash video. Right clicking the screen shows only a non-clickable 'Movie not loaded' and the clickable link to the Adobe home page.
I have spent an hour trying things as suggested for past problems similar to this but none have helped.
I have sent sad face letting you know what I think of the latest update because of this which says pretty much the same thing as I have said here.
I have no further info but if I had some input and queries form you I might be able to provide more.

I'm not sure how to remove the 12.xxx version,. I don't understand why it is there, usually updates over wirte the old one as far as I know. I don't know where to find it.
pref .js deleted.
I could not find a user.js
I disabled hardware acceleration on one of them, not sure which and I don't remember how I did it but think it must have been on the flash.
No idea what protected mode is
no new profile, I've never done this.
Ok, did what you have said as much as I could. I have been fidgeting with things now for a couple hours. After doing a CCleaner and Registry cleanse, turning off and restarting the computer, the videos are now p-laying.
I would still like to know how to find and get rid of the duplicate Flash plug in though if you would't mind.
Thanks for the help.

Adobe won't work and cannot uninstall

adobe won't work and cnnot uninstall

Adobe is a company with more than hundred software products; what program are you talking about?
What is your operating system & version?
What exactly means "won't work" and "cannot uninstall"?

I am trying to set up the ipod to my email account and it keeps saying it won't work, even though we have confirmed user name and password. Any advice?

i am trying to set up the ipod to my email account and it keeps saying it won't work, even though we have confirmed user name and password. Any advice?

Try deleting the account from the iPod and try reentring all the information again. A lot of times it is easier to reenter the information rather than trying to find and correct the error.
Try Googling for how to setup the email account for your provider on an iPhone. You can try for an iPod Touch but frequently that does not exist.

I was able to print with my acrobat before, but I can no longer do it. the error message says "adobe creation cannot continue because acrobat is not activated" How do I activate it?

I have the exact same issue. I can print one document and then I get the error mentionned above ("adobe creation cannot continue because acrobat is not activated"). Then I need to reboot in order to be able to print a new document.
I have suite and went to Photoshop as suggested, but this program is already activated. I tried to launch Acrobat Pro but it won't.
I'm using the Design and Web Premium CS6 Suite on Windows Vista.
Thank you so much for your help.

Signed up twice for adobe pdf export to word and still not working - anyone else have this problem?

signed up twice for adobe pdf export to word and still not working - anyone else have this problem?

In XI.
I can’t just export to word as I have done in the past in one simple click.
Convert to button is greyed out.
Now I have to save the pdf file on c drive when I am in outlook…then goto export pdf file…then find file then export to word.
I bought new computer with windows 8 (which is awful) and then bought pdf export again…
Any thoughts on how I can get back to one simple click again when I open a pdf file from an email in outlook?
Thank you,
Mike

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next would be to unsync the music and then try syncing the songs to the iPod
- Last would be to restore from backup.

fromg googling it might have something to do with messed up fonts. I can get firefox to work as root though! 0_o.

Just an idea: Have you tried to use Firefox from Mozilla. I mean, download it and give it a try?
I have always done that, from my days in Slack, till this day and have to say that I NEVER have had a problem with Firefox, Java or plugins.
It may be a very biased opinion (since I have never had problems) but I think it may be worth to try.

Adobe won't work in windows 8

I used to use acrobate, shockwave player on my old computer. now with new windows 8 and internet explorer 10, nothing will work. i've been to help forums, getting started videos, checked installation, turned off active x and turned on compatibility view, but, nothing works. can anyone help? i don't convert PDF files, or maybe I do. Don't want to know, just know that when I take online surveys, thier screens requiring flash player won't downlod. just keep getting the screen that says I don't have it installed, but I do, I do!!!! thank you

It's tedious, but there are some things you need to understand if you want to get this working.
There are many different products from Adobe - over 100 in fact. Two of them, probably the ones you've seen, are Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash Player. They do entirely different things and you need to understand the difference.
Adobe Reader reads PDF files. If you find these on a web site it will usually say so.
Adobe Flash Player plays Flash, which can appear in browsers but isn't a file you can work - it's just there, on the screen. It's used, for example, to show videos in YouTube.
We can help you understand which one you need, I should think. Is this a public page in your browser? If so, copy and paste the URL (that's the web address thing which starts http at the top somewhere) and we'll visit and at least be able to cut your choices in half.

Adobe won't work; keeps wanting me to reload.

I'm using an iMac and a MacBook Pro, but am having trouble with the iMac. Every time I go to a site that requires Adobe to see the video, it tells me I need to download a newer version of Adobe. I've installed it many times, but it still won't work. Any suggestions?? I have uninstalled & reinstalled, but nothing.... I have no problems with Adobe on my MacBook Pro.
Not sure I've chosen the right "group." If I didn't, maybe you can help me choose the right one.
Thanks for your help.

Make sure you are using the proper version of flash player for your os system. You must also uninstall all previous versions prior to installing a newer version by using Adobe's uninstaller. After the installation, repair permissions and restart your computer.

When I download iTunes on my PC, it says it won't work because I am missing the apple support aplication. How do I download that?

Anyone know why iTunes (64 bit) won't work on my PC? It says I need an apple support application? Thanks for your help!

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
