Flash in Firefox

Hello,
I am running Windows XP 32 bit and use Firefox v3.6.11 as my main browser. IE8 is also installed on my computer.
I have downloaded Flash v10.1.85.3. It shows that it is installed, however Firefox is not recognizing it; IE8 is however. When I'm using Firefox (I only use IE8 under great duress), and I go to a website requiring Flash, I am told I need to update to a newer version. I have closed Firefox and restarted several times to no avail.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I have checked the c:/windows/system32/macromed/flash and the only NPSWF32.dll file is the newest version - v10.1.85.3 dated 10/24/2010.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I really, really hate IE8 and would prefer to be able to use Firefox for all things. I have been able to in the past with no problem until this latest update.
Oh, and I did turn off anti-virus and even my firewall for this download and installation.
Thanks.

You seem already have done most of the things that I usually recommend, so there is very little else that I can do.
Can you see the Flash animation at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and does it show you the correct version information below it?

Problem with Flash in Firefox for MAC

Hello,
I have a little trouble with flash in firefox ...
In fact, when I go on websites via firefox and it is the flash ... animation or flash application in meeting the latency to the point that even the youtube player lag when I also want to press the pause button (to pause the video) ...
Major latency problem also when I play games in flash ...
I tested the same sites in Safari and then everything is nikel I do not understand ...
I deleted the files "Player.plugin Flash" and "flashplayer.xpt" in the library of mac and reinstalling flash but it has not helped!
Configuration: Mac OS X
Firefox 3.5.3
Désolé si mon anglais n'est pas parfait, je l'ai traduit avec google ...

Bonjour,
J'ai un petit soucis avec flash sous firefox...
En effet, quand je vais sur des sites via firefox et qu'il y a du flash... l'animation ou application sous flash rencontre des latences à tel point que même le player youtube lag également quand je souhaite appuyer sur le bouton pause (pour mettre en pause la vidéo)...
Gros problème de latence également quand je joue à des jeux sous flash... style "le 4ème duel"
j'ai tester les mêmes sites sous SAFARI et là tout est nikel je ne comprends pas ...
j'ai supprimé les fichiers "Flash Player.plugin" et "flashplayer.xpt" dans la bibliothèque de mac et réinstaller flash mais cela n'a rien arrangé !!!
Configuration: Mac OS X
Firefox 3.5.3

That is a Microsoft Word issue, so you will get the best results asking over on the Microsoft Office for Mac forums on Microsoft's web site. Many people here don't use MS Word, while everyone there does.

Can't I stop the HOG Flash from Firefox? I use FlashBlock but a constant fight. Often both cores maxed at 100%,laptop very slow until I kill Flash in Tsk Mangr

Flash is the problem. It often maxes both cores of my dual core processor and brings processing virtually to a halt.
Originally, I killed flash in Task Manager whenever i heard my fan come on and also noticed slow system response. This was very distracting and took a lot of time.
Then I installed FlashBlock, but it doesn't stop Flash unless you tell it for each and every website.
When reading news, and opening a link, I will hear the fan start, so i click the block button/icon in Firefox to block the site from using flash. Some sites don't launch with the FlashBlock icon. I have to use the manual kill option for them. This extremely frustrating. I understand why Steve Jobs hated Flash.
I don't like Apple's money-sucking wallet-leach behavior, so I use WinTel and live with the frustrations of which this is the biggest. HTML5 supposedly is the solution, but site builders use flash.
FireFox needs a flash control switch built in the browser to give control of Flash - block/ask, etc. functionality.

By the way, Firefox does have a Click-to-Play feature you can use for Flash. That will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it. However, the approval is per site, I believe, so you may need an add-on to control it per page.
To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
Not a solution, but hopefully will help a bit.

Problem in displaying flash in FireFox

Hi all,
I have problem in displaying flash in FireFox 2.0. but it
works very fine in IE.
any one please help me....
Shanthi.

I came across this post since I too have the same problem. I
had a current firefox version installed (9.0.28.0) and downloaded
and installed the newest version (9.0.45.0) and when I get to a web
site with flash content, I see the 'loading' bars, but then I get a
black screen while the contents audio is playing.

I have to re-install adobe flash for firefox every time i start my computer even if firefox shows that my adobe flash is working it does not.I also get notices from the websites i visit (get flash e.t.c.)

i have the latest firefox 10.02 in win7 and even if firefox shows is installed my adobe flash is not working so i have to run the flash installer every time i start my pc.After this everything works fine until the next start when i have to run the flashinstaller again

There are two versions of the Flash Player plugin. One is ActiveX and only works in IE. It sounds like you have that one installed. The other one works in all other browsers.
What seems to be happening is that you have security software that's blocking one of those versions of Flash/restoring your computer state and so it gets uninstalled when you start your computer. The other possibility is that there are permission issues. Unfortunately, this isn't something that Firefox can control; it's a problem with the Flash installation (Firefox is dumb and just looks in the registry for a list of installed plugins to load).
Make sure that you're an admin on your computer when you try to install Flash and that you check your security settings. If that doesn't work, try posting to the [http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer Adobe community forums] to see if other people have had similar issues and know how to address them.

When loading any page with Flash content Firefox will always crash. Any Ideas to fix this?

The issue occured following upgrading to 3.6.13 from the previous version.
Firefox will not crash if the Adobe Flash plugin is disabled. I have uninstalled and re-installed Flash player & Firefox, both of which did not solve the problem.
The issue is not present within the latest versions of IE, Chrome, Opera or Safari.
Any help to possibly solve this problem would be greatly appriciated?

Are you getting the crash reporter when it crashes? If so, please provide a crash id -> https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report

I have both versions 10 and 12 of shockwave Flash on Firefox OS 26. I wish to delete or remove V10

I have both versions 10 and 12 of shockwave Flash on Firefox OS 26. I wish to delete or remove V10 but can't from any process I know including Windows\system32\macromed\flash path. This deletes both of them .
What next?

Flash Player Uninstaller
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
I recommend keeping BOTH ActiveX and the regular Player Plugin installed, even if you don't use IE.

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:

Separate versions of Flash for Firefox & IE?

I normally use Firefox as my browser. Unfortunately, for
reasons beyond my control, I must on occasion use Internet
Explorer. I went to install the Adobe Flash player and found that
the Adobe downloader knows if I am accessing it through Firefox or
IE. Does this mean that there are separate versions of Adobe Flash
for Firefox and IE? If so, can I download both? If I cannot
download both, which one should I download?
Thank you.

a.lopov;
Ie/pc uses an active x control flash player, all other
browsers use the
"netscape compatible "plug-in". Both can be installed on the
same windows
system (other os don't have active x)--in fact, if memory
serves the flash
application offers to install both players when appropriate.

Don't use the download manager; download the installer for your operating system directly from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

Flash makes firefox crash

Topic kinda says it all; any websites which contains flash makes firefox crash. I believe the problem started 1-2 days ago. I'm clueless, I don't remember there has been any related updates.
I've tried to move ~/.mozilla somewhere else, and reinstall flashplugin, which not fixed the problem.
Oh yeah.. opera DOES NOT crash with flash.
Thanks in advance.

Aha! That's what I do, yes. Is there anything I can do against this, except for not wrapping it with aoss? Because I quite like how software mixing worked out of the box for me on arch

Shockwave flash causes firefox 4 crash

shockwave flash causes firefox 4 hangs. it happens whether using the latest or the previous version of flash. removing flash solves the problem but removing flash is not a solution. this happens on a computer with Windows 7. However on another computer with XP this does not happen.

#Download a copy of Flash from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and save it to your desktop.
#Then download the [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html Flash Uninstaller]
#Close Firefox via File | Exit
#Run the uninstaller to remove Flash from Firefox. It will also remove it from IE.
#Reboot
#Run the Flash installer you downloaded to your desktop earlier (do not start Firefox). This will install it on Firefox only.
#Open IE and go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and choose Run when you see the prompt.
#Test the installation in both Firefox and IE by going to: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Paypal will not display pictures (text only). Can not buy things on the internet. Can not upgrade flash in firefox.

3 problems: 1) I can't buy anything online. Firefox has a popup that states that all payment sites (Amazon, paypal, etc.) are forbidden and tries to protected me from them and blocks me (will not let me bypass the block). 2) Once I figure a work around the block Paypay shows as text only (shows all content on internet explorer) 3) try to upgrade adobe flashplayer as suggested in a forum and adobe flash can not upgrade when firefox is open. Been on firefox for several years now why the sudden ultimate security?

Quite honestly, I think you need to go back to Flash 10.3.183.90, a version that was kept alive specifically for WinXP users. The Flash 11 and later versions have a separate plugin container that isn't available for anything below Win Vista with feature you can't even use. I see no advantage to anything newer and on the down side the newer versions are a lot more likely to crash frequently.
First, grab the Adobe uninstaller from here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
Then download Flash 10.3.183.90 from here - about halfway down the page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
(Released 6/11/2013) Flash Player 10.3.183.90 (61.1 MB)
IMO, the best version of Flash for WinXP. Adobe kept up with security updates for 10.3 for WinXP users long after Flash 11.0 came out in 2011 for Vista and newer versions of Windows.
Run the uninstaller, then reboot your operating system.
Then you can run the Flash installer, with Firefox closed, of course.
''Note, if you still use IE, you'll need to reinstall the ActiveX version of Flash for IE. That uninstaller removes all versions of Flash that might be installed,''

[solved] flash in firefox not working after pacman update

Hi everyone,
I updated my system today using pacman -Syu and now flash isn't working in firefox. In fact, opening a youtube video causes firefox to crash. Before the update it worked fine. I have flashplugin-11.2.202.406-1 installed. I don't know where to start to fix this.
I've already checked the about:plugins in firefox and it says that I have the flash plugin installed and its on always activate setting.
Does anyone know where I can start to look for errors?
