Flash 11 won't install in Firefox

I've repeatly installed and uninstalled Flash 11 in Firefox 22.0 and it will still not work. Can someone provide a way to get this thing to work?

I tried the clean install and it still did not work. I finally tried to uninstall Firefox, without removing my personal information, and then reinstall - that did not work either. I finally did the following and it worked!
1. Exported all my bookmarks
2. Wrote down my add-ons so I could get them again
3. Unistalled Adobe
4. Uninstalled Firefox and checked the option to remove all the personal information and remove my profile
5. Removed any additional leftover directories for both Adobe and Firefox
6. Reinstalled Firefox - fresh start
7. Went to Adobe and installed the update (it worked!)
8. Imported the bookmarks
9. Reloaded my add-ons
Happy camper! Not sure why I had to do it, but basically needed a complete fresh start. Something in either my profile or perhaps an add-on was causing all the grief. I hope this helps anyone else with similar problems.

Which version of Flash Player do you have installed, and are you running Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP Pro, Windows XP Home, Linux, Ubuntu, Fedora, or do you have an Apple Mac? If you have an Apple computer, which version of OSX do you have installed? Without this specific information, we cannot assist you very much.

Adobe Flash Player won't install into Firefox, even when using the offline installer, and downloading it through Firefox

Ever since the latest update of the Adobe Flash Player, I think it came out this week.
I can't seem to get it to work with Firefox, I have downloaded the installer, it installs successfully, then I check in Firefox to see if it works. It says that I need to install it?!?! I have tried the offline installer of the Adobe Flash Player, I also tried installing it through Firefox (when you click "Install missing plugins"). That just fails instantly.
I posted on the Adobe Forums, but no luck.
I am getting frustrated with this! I have never had problems with installing the Flash Player, and I didn't install this version any different from the previous versions. Flash Player was working well until the latest update of Flash Player was released.
If I go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, it shows all the Flash Player files, but it's not showing up in the Firefox addon manager, and not working on YouTube, or any other Flash Player sections of sites.
I installed the 64-bit version, because I have a 64-bit Windows.
It works on IE, but not on Firefox.
It seems like it installs fine, but then it doesn't looks like it "installs" it into Firefox. Or whatever...
Also, I have tried uninstalling it with the Adobe 64-bit Uninstaller, restarting my PC after uninstalling, then install the 64-bit Flash Player for Firefox... doesn't work.
I have done EVERYTHING I can do to try and get it to work, no luck...
Please, any help with be appreciated!

Flash Player won't install on firefox

Win 7 Home Premium 64

When I try to install Flash using a plug in pop up on firefox, I get this error message:
C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Loca\Temp|FP_PL_PFS_INSTALLER-4.exe
The specified procedure could not be found
When I click on manual install, I get this error message:

Works in IE.
The files are in the locations specified above, however, they will not install correctly when you click. When you click on the fp_pl.... file,, you see two small windows pop up too quick to read, but install does not work.

Hi, You are correct, it wouldn't have anything to do with IE8. Ever since Win7 came out, I know it has IE8 so I just connect the two in my brain.LOL I read that you can't go back to any other version of IE, with Win7.
Firefox calls their add ons "plug-ins"; Internet Explorer calls their add ons "ActiveX Controls". Adobe calls Flash Player a browser "plug-in" Now most likely you will find the Flash Player listed in the add/remove or programs and features section, where programs are listed. Confused yet? Now when Flash Player is installed using IE, 4 files are installed into
the Flash folder. That alone is not enought for Flash Player to work. In the IE add ons, the Shockwave Flash Object, yes the ActiveX Control and it is the Control must be there and enabled.
Now if Flash Player is installed in FF, also 4 files are installed into the Flash folder. You have 8 files, so you have all of what you need for Flash Player to work using IE since you have the SWO. FF also needs that "control", but it is called
SWF(Shockwave Flash) and it must be enabled. The SWF is called a "plug-in".
The only thing I found on Mozilla is how to install the Flash Player "plug-in" which I thot they meant the SWF. No they
mean how to install what Adobe calls Flash Player, i.e. the "plug-in" Now are you confused? But you already have Flash Player installed and the 4 files are sitting in the Flash folder. Dizzy yet?
I am going to Microsoft and it may be tomorrow before we get an answer. LOL
Now I know why I liked Accounting, 2+2 was always 4.

Adobe Flash Player won't install on Firefox

When I attempt to install 32-bit Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.55 onto my Firefox (I use Windows Vista), it will not download and simply stops at 95%. I wait for 30 minutes, and it still doesn't download, so I close it. I would please like help. Thank you for responding to and/or reading this.

Flash 10 won't install in Firefox

I have the latest version of Firefox. No matter how many times I download and install Flash Player 10, when I check the version it is still 6,0,79,0. The download and installation seems to go perfectly. I get a green checkmark saying installation complete. The strange thing is if I use Internet Explorer and check the version it is 10. But when I am in FF at a site that requires Flash 10, it doesn't work because it wants Flash 10 and my version under FF is 6,0,79,0. Any way to fix this? Thanks.

Thank you very much, your suggestion led me to the solution. There were TWO NPSWF32.dll files, one in a folder ...\Macromed\Flash and one in ....\Macromedia\Flash. Evidently, no matter how often I downloaded the new version, the old version was used instead. I deleted the old directory with the old NPSWF32.dll file and now everything works perfectly. When I check the version I get the 10 version as desired. Thanks again--evidently just clicking on Update is not enough, if there is an old file lurking.

My Flash Player won't install???

HELP!!! my flash player won't install! i downloaded it on my mac and opened the file and it was downloading until it says "please choose the following programs to continue" and then i cannot click safari, wich is my default browser, because there is a red sign indicating i cannot click it!
every time i click retry the same thing happens! why is this! HELP

The above link is for the ActiveX installer (Internet Explorer).
Use the appropriate download links in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550
If you are on a 64-bit system, use the 64-bit installer(s); you will then also be able to use Flash under the 64-bit version of Firefox: Waterfox.

Flash player won't install in windows 7

Flash player won't install in windows 7
This is what I get when trying to use "FLASH PLAYER HELP", as you can see, my flash player and OS are NOT listed and when asked on left side of screen if "THIS WAS HELPFUL", I clicked NO and could not complete my response.
HOW DO I FIX THIS??? THERE ARE SEVERAL ITEMS THAT REQUIRE FLASH PLAYER & I CANNOT GET IT TO WORK. AFTER DOWNLOADING (AT LEAST4 TIMES) IT SAYS EVERYTIME "INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL"

Download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header and save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.
If you still have problems, please post the contents of the FlashInstall.log file in

Adobe Reader 11.0 won't install through firefox - click save and then nothing else happens

Adobe Reader 11.0 won't install through firefox - I click save file when requested it switches to Step 2 of 3 but nothing is there and I have waited for a very long time for it to load. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Pat,
After your last email I decided to continue to trouble shoot the problem and finally found the answer from another user. Oddly enough when using Firefox it will default to a location on your computer to save downloads. If it encounters a problem it doesn't identify it, the program just "loops" back to the start of the download sequence. Once I changed the folder that the downloads are sent to the original way of upgrading occurred without fault.
I will go back into the discussion group and credit you with the answer because I really appreciate your assistance.
Thank you, Jim

Flash player won't install on safari 7.0.3 any hints?

flash player won't install on safari 7.0.3 . I can download but the install stops at 50%. I have allowed plug ins.
any hints?

jabenn, I believe this to be caused by an issue with the Flash Player Install Manager, which Adobe is aware of.
As a first step, you could try removing it from the folder Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash Player. If you see a folder in that location entitled "Flash Player Install Manager", you need to trash it (you will need to enter and Admin password to authorise that step). This is recommended by Adobe. Now try again.
If that still fails, you can either follow the full Uninstall / Re-install process set out here: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1267823 ... or use my three-step workaround to save time, hassle and restarting. This starts at the scenario described in your initial post (i.e. a stalled installation):
Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package within the Install Manager app and run the installation from Finder
Hope this helps. Enjoy.
--- Those steps in detail:
1. Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
Press these three keys together: Cmd + Option (or Alt) + esc
Select Adobe Flash Player Install Manager in the popup window titled "Force Quit Applications"
Hit return or click the button labelled "Force Quit"
2. Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility (in Applications/Utilities folder or find it with Spotlight)
On the left hand side, your attached drives and mounted volumes are listed above a horizontal line. Below that line you should see one or more disk images (named e.g. something.dmg). These are recently accessed disk images - including one containing the adobe updater.
At or near the bottom of that list you should see something called decryptedFile.dmg
Under that you might see a (greyed out) volume image called Flash Player
Double click decryptedFile.dmg (or the Flash Player volume if you can see it - it makes no difference).
This should mount a volume titled "Flash Player" and automatically open a finder window showing the contents.
The volume "Flash Player" will show up in your Finder sidebar and on your desktop (unless you've chosen not to show External Disks in Finder preferences)
3. Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package and run the installation from Finder
You should by now have a Finder window open showing the contents of the volume "Flash Player". If not, open a new Finder window and click on Flash Player in the sidebar. The sole contents are an app called Install Adobe Flash Player.
Right click the item "Install Adobe Flash Player" and select "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu that appears.
This opens a new window showing a folder called "Contents". Open it by double clicking to reveal the contents including a folder called "Resources".
Locate and open the folder "Resources" and look for a file called Adobe Flash Player ("Adobe Flash Player.pkg")
This is the Installer Package for the update. Double Click it.
Don't be put off by the words "Welcome to the Adobe Flash Player Installer" - this is not the Adobe Flash Install Manager (the one that failed you earlier) this is Apple's "Installer" app.
Follow the steps to the end then eject the volume Flash Player in the normal way (e.g. Finder sidebar)
Open the Flash Player control panel to check the current version has now been updated.
Don't be put off by "PPAPI Plug-in is not installed" - you can ignore it.
Some steps may go differently if you are running a different version of Mac OS X ( I use 10.6.8 and wrote my guide accordingly).

Flash 10 won't install on IE but will on FireFox

This is the oddest thing. I can get Flash 10 to install in FireFox, but not with IE. When I download it, and try to install outside of a browser, I get a 'failed to register' message. It seems I cannot get anything on IE past Flash 7 to install. Running IE 8. System is Asus motherboard, Athlon 64x2 dual core 2.81 GHz, 3 gigs RAM, nVidia GeForce GTX 9800-plus card with XP Profession OS.
Any suggestions?

Thank you very much, your suggestion led me to the solution. There were TWO NPSWF32.dll files, one in a folder ...\Macromed\Flash and one in ....\Macromedia\Flash. Evidently, no matter how often I downloaded the new version, the old version was used instead. I deleted the old directory with the old NPSWF32.dll file and now everything works perfectly.

Flash player won't install on windows 8 using firefox

Hi
I had problems with my flash player on windows 8, it kept crashing before any of the videos were loaded and freezing my computer temporarily in the process.
I was advised to uninstall and reinstall flash player, so i uninstalled it and now cannot reinstall it (i can download the installation thing from the website but it won't open).
What should I do to correct this? And please bare with me, I am useless with computers.
Thanks
George
