Firefox updated to its newest version 12.0. Now my Adobe Flash plugin freezes and hangs every website when it is enabled even though it is the newest version.

Today Firefox updated to its newest version 12.0. Immediately after update, I couldn't load most websites. The web browser would just freeze. I have determined that the culprit is the Adobe Flash Plugin, however; even with the newest version of the plugin, I am still having problems. Any suggestions?

can you try this suggestion [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing%20the%20Flash%20plugin#w_playing-flash-videos-makes-firefox-hang] and/or [[How do I upgrade my graphics drivers?]]

A site downloads an old version of SW Player even though I have the newest version installed

Over the years I've played games at a site (Garfield Games). The last few years, whenever I update to the new version of Shockwave Player, Garfield Games downloads an old version of SW Player (10.4 to be exact) citing compatibility issues when I try to play a game. It doesn't matter if I use Chrome or IE9 to download the new version of SW player, or go to Garfield in either browser, as soon as I try to play a game I have to download the old version of SW Player. I notice my newest version is located in User-AppData-LocalLow-Adobe. The old version is located in C-Windows-System32-Macromed-Shockwave 10. If I delete the SW 10 file and try to play a game at Garfield I have to download the old version again, or I can't play the games. This only occurs if I download a new version of SW Player (as it deletes the older versions on my system)or if I manually delete the old version.
My system isn't that unusual, Vista 32 sp2, Webroot anti virus, windows firewall, Secunia.
When the old version is downloaded, Secunia flags it as a security risk. I delete the SW Int.exe file in SW 10 and Secunia no longer flags it as a security risk. I also delete 7 other files in it, and it still works at Garfield. I've contacted Garfield and they claim it's my system. Garfield is the only site that I have encountered this problem.
I've tried googling this question, and there's nothing really comprable. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I know that some sites do that. I don't know of any way to prevent that, except to avoid sites that do that.
If I really wanted to prevent that, I would try to set the permissions in the target folders
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Director
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Shockwave 10
to prevent anything from installing.

Flash player is not recognized even though we have the current version

upon clicking on a youtube url we get an error message stating that we need to install the current version of flash in order to play the url. We already have that install and when cut and pasting it into IE it works just fine.

IE uses a different version of Flash (ActiveX) than other browsers use. You need the Plugin version for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

You are using Firefox 2.0
Latest version is Firefox 3.6 (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/)

My sons iPod touch's will not back up, they also have a white iTunes screen even though they have the newest version of iTunes, please help

On my ibook G4 v 10.4.7, I have itunes verison 4.7.1(30) and a new shuffle. Even though I downloaded the newest version of itunes I still cannot sync music from my itunes to shuffle. What do I need to do to accomplish this?

Hi, you need to upgrade to 10.5.x...
Mac system requirements
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10 or later4
Internet access is required; broadband recommended; fees may apply
http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/specs.html
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it! Helps to tell them you have an iPad/iPhone & you can't run 10.6.
There are workarounds if the 867MHz is the only hangup...

My plugins don't work even though I have the latest version of adobe flash and java. )

when I go to a site like you tube that require a plugin I get the message that Firefox has disabled this feature for security reasons. I then click on the feature update plug ins it take me to the adobe site I down load the latest version of adobe flash only to run into the same problem over again. I've tried updating this feature both manual & auto but with no success.

Hi there
No need to get testy. Lilybiri was being spot on with the comparison.
The only solution for you will be to uninstall the Flash player, then locate an older version of the Flash player and install it on the Windows XP you have. Captivate is now at version 8 and several years have passed since version 1.1. You will likely not make 1.1 work with Windows 7 or Windows 8. In fact, the only way I'm aware to remotely make it work on those operating systems is by first ensuring you have the Professional or Ultimate version, then installing the Windows XP mode Virtual Machine.
Here is a link for uninstalling the Flash Player
And here is a link for the older versions
Sorry, but you are on your own to sort exactly how far back you will need to go to find a version of Flash Player that works with this version of Captivate. And keep in mind, that even though you finally get a Flash Player version that allows it to run, you will only be able to run it on some form of Windows XP. It will not run on Windows 7 or 8 unless you install the VM. And when you do that, you will be stuck inside the VM and will not be able to record anything outside it in the 7 or 8 environment.
Cheers... Rick

Unable to open pdf files even though have installed the latest version of adobe reader

New computer. Old computer had windows 7, new one has windows 8. On the old computer I can open the files, and I can download fillable forms and save them. On the new computer I can not open some files, and the fillable forms will only save empty, not completed.

I get the error message that says if this page does not go away, that I need to install/upgrade Adobe reader.
This means that you are using a browser that uses its own (incompatible) PDF viewer, not the Adobe Reader plugin.
To configure Chrome or Firefox see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html
I don't know about Windows 8, or if/how its PDF viewer is integrated in Internet Explorer.

Hi - I've brought the new iphone 5 but can't download my music from my itunes account even though I have the latest version (10.7). All i can see is that my account is not showing the iphone 5 as a 'managed device' and i dont know how to get this added ?

Hi - I've brought my iphone 5 but cant seem to download my music from my itunes account onto it. I've downloaded the latest version of itunes as i heard this could be a problem but still no joy. The phone tries to sync when i plug it all in to the pc and even has the capacity bar showing about 12gb of audio but there is still nothing downloaded onto the phone.
The only thing i can see that might be causing the problem is that when i go into my itunes account it doesn't show that the iphone 5 is an option is the 'managed device' section but i dont know how i can add the new iphone 5 to this....
Can anyone please advise me on what to do ?
Many thanks !

You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. To make this your syncing computer:

Deviantart keeps telling me to upgrade my firefox even though I have the latest version

I keep updating and same story.

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is probably messed up by another program that you installed. 
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter 
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' 
Filter = '''general.useragent.''' 
Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset'''''. 
Then restart Firefox

The rest of my question/gripe: i'd gladly pay a subscription fee if/when firefox can provide reliability, function with other software like java,adobe,flash, et al. and figure out a way to deal with user frustration with a paid staff. otherwise, why engag

the details are in my question. for starters, please fix the interface with gmail--and notify all users about it!

There is no Flash player version 15... as in your code:
<param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
For some reason Adobe thought it would be a good idea to target a Flash player version (15) as default.....which may be out a couple years in the future. Go figure!!!
If you don't like player version 9, change to 10 or 11.... just not 15 (yet).

My address book is frozen in time machine even though I have the latest version of Lion.

I deleted some contacts, that looked like duplicates, on my iPad this morning. It deleted both cards, not just the duplicate. I have iCloud turned on and now I cannot restore the contacts, or in fact any previous version of my address book from Time Machine!

I was having problems with my Adobe Flash plugin crashing occasionally during my game playing on Facebook. After researching it on the Firefox Help site, I upgraded. It now takes forever to load, if at all, and loses the connection. What gives?

The game eventually loads but now takes forever. If I switch to a different section of the game, it also is slow. It wasn't before I upgraded to the "new, improved" version. I was better off with the old Adobe plugin and putting up with the occasional crashing.
