Firefox updated - forced to install new Flash - doesn't work, but does in other browsers

Auto-update to latest Firefox. Loaded, then warned to load new Flash. Done. It works in my other browsers fine, but only shows me non-functioning images in Firefox. (When I go to YouTube).
They don't appear at all in one of my sites - but work fine in other browsers.
I have; "Plug-ins up to date" in my Flash check.

The problem seems to be related to Flash and Video drivers. Try updating your video drivers first of all.
As a temporary workaround try hovering your cursor over the place where the pop-out button should be below the YouTube video screen, then left click there. The video will then display in the pop-out screen.

Firefox crashes on clean install safe mode doesn't work

Mozilla crash Reporter opens when I load Firefox. I completely uninstalled Firefox including all the profiles and registry keys. When I reinstall it I still get the same proplem. There is no Firefox safe mode shortcut in the Mozilla folder and when I hold down shift and load Firefox I get the same result.

This all started after I had a problem installing flash on ie. I was getting a getplus r has stopped working crash while installing flash for ie. So then I saved the flash install file to my desktop and tried installing it that way. When I stalled it listed Firefox as the browser probably because Firefox is my default browser. I went ahead and installed it anyway, even though flash was working on Firefox, because I was trying a million different things to get flash on ie. Well ever since I did that Firefox will not open. I don't know what else I can remove without uninstalling windows. I finally did get flash to work on ie, but I have since uninstalled it too trying to get Firefox back on..

Flash doesn't work in Firefox 13

Installed Firefox 13 yesterday. Now flash doesn't work. Have done all the supposed fixes to no avail. Have uninstalled and reinstalled flash. I'm at my wits end with this issue. I'm a web designer who uses flash in a number of my sites. VERY IRRITATING when my sites don't display properly. Anyone have a solution other than the pat Mozilla "fixes"?

I received a PM from '''CheckMate''' about this thread. Since this is something that I think should be discussed openly I'll reply here.
The ActiveX plugin (npmozax.dll) issue is now fixed via the Mozilla blocklist, which automatically disables it. For some background on the ActiveX plugin issue, see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/708425 Blocking the old ActiveX plugin] in the contributor's forum thread.
The Flash 11.3 Firefox protected mode problem is a separate issue and one related bug is [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747683 747683] So, if you did have the ActiveX plugin installed and it is now disabled, AND you have Flash 11.3 installed, then the issue is no longer the ActiveX plugin.
If the problem is Flash 11.3 protected mode (or other issues with Flash 11.3) it's not a good idea to suggest downgrading to 11.2.202.235. The reason why uninstalling Flash and going to a page that requires Flash installs an older version is because the Plugin Finder Service hasn't been updated yet! This is from http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Installing_Flash_on_Windows <br>
'''Quote:'''<br>
''If the Flash plugin is not installed and you visit a page that has Flash content that requires the plugin, the Plug-in Finder Service can download and install Flash for you (see [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+the+Flash+plugin Installing the Flash plugin (Firefox Support)] for more information). If you want to try this method and Flash is already installed, you can [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Uninstalling_Flash uninstall Flash] and then visit [http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Adobe's Flash test page] to launch the Plugin Finder Service ; however, it may offer you an outdated version.''
The alternative (disabling Flash 11.3 protected mode by editing an obscure file) is not good either. I don't know what to suggest in those cases. I think it would be a good idea if you could bring this up in the SUMO Community Discussions forum. There's already a topic started on Flash 11.3 issues, here:
*https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/708430 Flash 11.3 issues (was: flash 11.3 released)
Here is your original message, for reference:
''Hi, Alice- You locked the thread on the Adobe Flash Plugin update 11.300.257 not working question but you really shouldn't have for the following reasons. First, although I too found today that the Active X has been blocked as of June 7, the problem persists and the instruction is to contact the manufacturer. How about contacting Adobe and straightening this out on the Developer level instead of closing the thread because there's another temporary but much simpler solution that I found. Second, the instructions on how to disable Protected Mode are nuts. I'm pretty advanced, but my common sensed tells me this is too complicated to bother with and shouldn't be necessary and you yourself say this isn't a permanent fix. Third, I found a much simpler solution, at least until this bug is fixed. Completely uninstall the Plugin from the Add and Remove Programs list. Then, when you try to access any video on YouTube which uses the Plugin, Firefox reports that it needs an additional Plugin to play the video (look specifically for the FF blue plugin icon). When you click on it, it automatically downloads the PREVIOUS VERSION, 11.2.202.235 which works perfectly. But if you click on the warning below it that Adobe Flash is needed, the buggy 11.3.300.257 version will be installed again! This has to be fixed by the Developers. Until it is, the fix is simply to roll back the faulty update, which could have also been done with a restore point but I wanted to find the cause. FF apparently knows automatically that this plugin is faulty and installs the previous version, but the other instruction is contradictory and installs the 11.3.300.257 Nice!?!? ''

HT2404 I'm trying to update apps and download new ones on mi ipad, but it doesn't work... the icons say "waiting" and nothing happens for days!

I'm trying to update apps and download new ones on mi ipad, but it doesn't work... the icons say "waiting" and nothing happens for days!Help!

Here are a bunch of things that you can try to get the downloads to resume.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

IPhone 4s glitches, is cracked, and camera flash doesn't work. What is the cost to exchange for a new one?

Front screen of my iPhone 4s is cracked, it freezes/lags, camera flash doesn't work, and every time you press a bit harder on the front screen red and grey vertical lines appear. I have had it for more than a year now, so how much will it cost for me to replace it?

These prices are for the U.S.
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
iPhone model          Out-of-Warranty Service
iPhone 5          $229
iPhone 4S          $199
iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
iPhone 3G, Original iPhone          $149
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above. This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

New Version Doesn't Work On ESPN

All I get is the black box on most of espn.com. The problem started when I downloaded the new version. I can watch video on most sites; but the screen simply stays black, with no arrows or control bar at the bottom (play, volume, etc.) on espn.com and a couple of others. I've tried most of the "fixes" I've found, to no avail. I'm using FP version 10.3.181.34 and IE 8 with Windows 7 on a laptop. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and it still doesn't work. I don't have any adblock software, and I've tried it with a pop-up blocker on and off, and it still doesn't work. I've tried it with hardware acceleration enabled and disabled, and it still doesn't work. I've increased and decreased my security settings to every available level and tried it, and it still doesn't work.
Hard to believe this is an improvement. Now I can't remember what my old version was, or I'd just go back to it... it worked with everything on every site.

Perhaps to somebody who spends most of their time on a computer, and makes it their business to know how to do all these things, it isn't jumping through hoops. For someone with no time and less patience for such tasks, and who expects a computer company and its hardware and software manufacturers to automatically provide working updates for the equipment they paid good money for, it is a burden. I have spent hours trying to either update that driver or find out why it's a bad idea to do so. I happen to believe them when they advise against it, and suggest it could have other negative effects on other aspects of the system. Not only do I believe it, it's happened to me on more than one occasion over the years; so I'm understandably hesitant to discard the advice of the manufacturer and give it a try on my own.
I updated all my drivers from the Dell driver update utility; and like the Intel site said, there isn't an updated one for my adapter. So, my choices appear to be, try the driver that isn't necessarily designed for my system, and hope for the best; or just uninstall the new version of FP, and reinstall the previous version that worked just fine. Because I'm not savvy enough to undo any potentially disastrous consequences from using the wrong driver, I'm leaning toward the latter resolution. I'm also having a tough time understanding how that single driver update is going to make my FP finally work for only the ESPN site. As I said, with the current driver, it works on virtually every other site, and the old version of FP, with the current driver, worked on every site, bar none. So, essentially I'd be installing a whole new driver that may or may not make my FP work on a single site. See what I'm getting at? It doesn't seem plausible that the driver was designed for the sole purpose of making one application work on a single site. Thanks for all the assistance; I appreciate everyone who devoted so much time to my issue.

Installing a simple driver update is "jumping though the hoops"...? I don't know why the Intel utility gave you that strange message; another easy way to update your outdated drivers is http://drivermax.com/ - the free version allows up to two driver downloads per day.

Flash doesn't work suddenly [SOLVED]

Today flash doesn't work anymore, I do not remember any modifications. In Firefox the browser segfaults after a few seconds of flash content. In Opera the flash area is replaced with weird graphics http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/5845 … 0x800s.png like this. I reinstalled flash10, no help. I installed flash9, no help, same problems.
Also, gnash plugin works for most flash content, but not for youtube though (on youtube I'll just get a blueish empty screen). Viewing flash videos is a must for my PC use..
EDIT:
I discovered that my sound didn't work, and I remember removing dbus from my modules since somebody says HAL starts it.
I solved it by adding dbus after hal in modules. I know that people say you shouldn't do that, and it creates this error text at bootup, but that did fix my sound, and my flash issues. Weird.

that didnt do the trick either.
I decided to reinstall flashplugin, and then i noticed a warning that said "warning: directory permissions differ on usr/lib/mozilla. filesystem: 700 package: 755."
should i just try to chmod /usr/lib/mozilla, and then reinstall Flash?
EDIT: Yep, i just ran sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/mozilla, and reinstalled flash. Works well

I have just created this account to tell you that nothing would change if you restored your phone.
The first NO SIM nuisance happened just a week ago. Nothing had been done to the phone before that. I pressed HOME + POWER buttons to restart the phone and SIM card was successfully recognized as if nothing had happened. Then I had a lucky week, not reminded of this issue at all.
Today, however, the same problem keeps annoying me. I've used the same method to heal the phone but all I have done seems more like a placebo. So I tried the ultimate solution, restroing it in iTunes.
Ridicuously, the moment I finished basic setup on the newly restored phone, the same NO SIM CARD INSTALLED message poped up.
So IMO, it's not what you should do to erase and restore your phone.
Plus, I called my native carrier and they said no such problems have been submitted. And since my nano SIM card is quite new (three months old), I'm not going to replace it.
I googled this problem and found something on a Hong Kong webpage. The author of that thread points out that there is a flaw in the SIM card tray that prevents the phone from successfully recognizing SIM cards.
And I really hope Apple could probe into this issue and give official solutions other than restarting / restoring the phone like an idiot.

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion was installed via App Store anyway.
So here's what I done so far:
tried resetting PRAM - No success
Done disk utility. Disk verified with no errors. I even re formatted disk. - no success starting.
Tried re installing mountain lion via download . It froze halfway installing -no success.
Tried backing up a time machine backup from my USB hard drive. It froze at 1% - no success
Tried booting from safe mode - no success
Tried the command line boot - no success.
Please someone help!

Sounds like the hard dre has left the building, Died, in the Sh*tter, Gone to the hard drive resting place in the sky.
Buy a new drive connect it to the system with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can install Mt Lion on that drive connected externally. If you can then the drive inside your system has failed.
Oh Wait!!!! You have the 2009 model. They are known for bad drive to logic board cables. So it may not be the drive itself but the cable going from the drive to the logic board. Do the same as above then if the system runs OK with the new drive connected externally install it in the system and see if it boots. If it does you are good to go. If it doesn't then it is more then likely the cable that hs failed.
I would suggest you also SAVE a copy of that download of Mt Lion and create a USB install drive from it using Lion Disk Maker, once you get your system up and running.
