Flash Doesn't Display in Firefox 4.0.1

I have a 64-bit Windows 7 OS with Firefox 4.0.1 and I installed the latest version of flash (11.5.502.110). When I go to verify the installation on Adobe websites like http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html the display is blank, no box and no information about the Adobe Flash versions. This problem isn't with the recent upgrade installation of Flash, I've been having the problem with older releases of Flash but I hadn't thought to debug the problem since I simply use a different browser when it doesn't in Firefox. I have tried the firefox debugging steps and no luck with that either.
Anything anyone can do to help?

Hi,
Installing Flash Player in Internet Explorer doesn't install Flash Player in Firefox. I think this could be the issue here.
Could you please access the following page using Firefox and try installing Flash Player: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Thanks,
Sunil

Flash files not displaying in Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Most recent Shockwave installed, private browsing active in Firefox? Works perfectly in Chrome and Internet Explorer. HELP!!!!

I suppose it would have helped if you knew what it was supposed to look like! I'm using Shockwave Flash 11.7.700.169 and the version of Firefox I'm on is 20.0
When you see it in Firefox - do the thumbnail populate the grid? See attached populated and un-populated.
Populated grid is with Chrome.
Thanks!
Thanks in advance!

Youtube video screen doesn't display with firefox 3.6.15 and adobe flash plug-in 10,2,152,32 installed.

The video screen (and its controls) doesn't display. All the other parts of the screen display correctly.

Yep, looks that way to me, too. There's (right this second) '''147''' folks on this thread: ->https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789534 and

And yes, it was still messed up in Safe Mode.
My take on it is to removing/disallowing cookie setting on YouTube for now, till '''whoever '''finally gets it fixed.
I hope they'll send a email telling all of us when it's fixed. Heaven knows they have our addresses...

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!?!? ''

Image code doesn't display in Firefox beta 26

FYI I noticed a difference between browsers on this Test page: http://manotick.net/test.htm
Both images display in Firefox 25 + Windows7 and Chrome 30.0 + Android 4.2.1
Top images does not display in FirefoxBeta 26 + Android 4.2.1

I don't see any difference between Firefox desktop and Firefox for Android on 25 through 28. I don't notice any missing images.
If possible would you provide a screenshot. On many newer Android phones one can capture the screen by pressing volume down and the power button at the same time.
Then attach that picture to this post by using the browse button below the Add images: line.

Flash animation doesn't display on firefox

I have three flash banners embedded with swfobject in a javascript slider (jquery bxslider plugin). Each banner has three ActionScript ExternalInterfaces:
* calling restartBanner() from JavaScript restarts the animation so that I can restart it whenever the slide is selected
* calling stopFlash() stops the animation
* on the last frame of each banner, bannedEnd() is called so that I know when to proceed to the next banner
Everything seems to be working correctly in Safari and Chrome, but in Firefox the last (third) banner doesn't seem to start playing. The weird thing is that even though you can't see the animation (it simply displays the first frame), at some point bannerEnd() is called, so internally the flash animation is working.
At first I thought it's because the container with the banner is not visible and tried modifying the slide's DOM in hope of triggering a re-render and forcing the browser to start the animation (as seen in onSlideAfter method), but that didn't help. I don't have much experience with flash and couldn't find any relevant solutions or similar problems online, so I don't really know where to look.
It's also not the issue of the one particular banner - if you change the order, the problem persists with the last (third) banner.
I isolated the code from the rest of the page and it can be seen here: https://pang.fraktal.ee/~stepan/flash_banner_issue/
As I said, the issue seems to only be with the Firefox browser, so it seemed appropriate to seek help here.

Hi Stalaryn,
Thank you for your question, I understand that you have three flash banners on your website.
In your test the title and the span are different, but the active class is working. Its just that last div that is not loading. As well as the data target in the last tile is not as specific as the others, is it the url of the swf file? I can understand the frustration here.
Can you please file a bug in bugzilla.mozilla.org under web compatibility with reference to your silder?

Flash objects not displaying in Firefox (but works fine in Chrome and IE)

Well, I'm trying to embed a Shockwave Flash object into a website I'm building. It displays in Chrome and IE, but it doesn't show up at all in Firefox. It's just white space. Ive tried it on two machines, so it's presumably the code. Both the machines have Adobe Flash enabled... I'm not sure what the problem is. I've not worked with embedding Flash objects in HTML before, so, it's probably something really obvious. I just used the insert command on dreamweaver and it wrote the code that I'm using. If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated. Here's my code:
<pre><nowiki><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="99%" height="600" id="FlashID">

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="10.1.0.0" />

<param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="the file path" width="99%" height="76.5%">

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="10.1.0.0" />
<param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

<div>
<h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>

</div>

</object>
</nowiki></pre>

If you can't post an address for a page demonstrating the problem, could you check the Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+k) and Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+j) for any messages related to the Flash media? For example, does either console show that Firefox is requesting the SWF file? Does either show an error in content type or any kind of security message?

Flash doesn't work in Firefox?

I installed the Flash Player 11.3 update, and now everything that uses flash shows up as a black screen. It works in chrome and safari however. I tried some article and discussion solutions, but none of them worked. & I don't have a realplayer plugin to disable. Could someone help me fix this?

Sorry none of those worked. As I said, I can use flash perfectly fine in other browsers. Just not FF.

Firefox doesn't display some text on certain pages.

I've noticed that on some pages, Firefox doesn't display certain text. I have the newest version of Firefox installed and my flash and java are updated. The text displays fine on Chrome and IE. Please see my example in the screenshots of the stevenson.edu webpage. Does anybody know what I can do to fix this problem or if there is some sort of plugin I am missing to display certain content? Thanks.

Adobe Flash 11.4 doesn't work on firefox

I am currently using windows 7 and firefox 14.0.1
After updating to the latest version of adobe, which is 11.4, anything that requires flash doesn' work. I have tried this on internet explorer 9 and google chrome, which worked perfectly. So, the issue here is that adobe flash 11.4 doesn't work on firefox; also, the browser worked fine before the update. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, for example: youtube.com, it would say an error occurred; otherwise, those that requires flash would display a white box instead.
For C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash:
These are the files within it:
-FlashInstall- text doc.
-FlashUtil64_11_4_402_265_Plugin app

C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash:

-FlashInstall text doc.

-FlashPlayerUpdaterService app
-FlashUtil32_11_4_402_265_Plugin

Thanks for your reply to my issue.
