Flash is buggy in Firefox 3.6.6. Mac Os X ...

I experience strange things with Firefox and Flash. Youtube Videos will not be recognized properly and I have to click the play button not once but a couple of times (up to 10 times) until the button gets triggered. Even worse with camera-recognition (for example on Facebook when you want to take a photo with your webcam): the question if I want to allow access to the camera pops up but I can not click anything. It just does not react at all. I already restarted in safe-mode with all add-ons enabled and it did not help...

would somebody please post a link to a dmg of the Flash Plugin installer that works? I uninstalled Flash with Adobe's uninstaller (after closing both, FF & S), dled the old Flash Player archive from Adobe, installed the latest before 10.1 r53 which is in there = flashplayer10r45_2_ub_mac.dmg, launched FF 3.6.6, went to YouTube, CNN, the Adobe Flash Player test site, they all say no Flash PlugIn installed at all. I tried the next older dmg in the archive, same thing .. :( uninstalled again, restarted, nothing ..
Jon (or anybody else), how did you successfully revert back to 10 r45 ???

The Flash plug-in causes Firefox to crash for about 2 minutes every 20 seconds, it is the newest Flash update. It has happened to me both with Firefox 3.6 and 4!

Firefox for me has been fine for the past couple of years or so. Then all of a sudden about 5 months ago, everytime i would use Firefox it would crash after browsing for about 1 minute. I uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times to no avail. I then got sick of the problem and then used IE till now.
However, i heard about Firefox 4 and thought maybe this would fix it. Unfortunately, the same problem occurred! I then heard about being able to start Firefox with add-ons disabled to find any sources of problems, and i've found that the cause if Flash! It is the newest version and always has been, so i don't know what i can do, since Flash is important for most websites nowadays!?

Could you please do the following.
Download the following two files and save to your desktop. These are direct download links so you'll only see the dialog boxes which looks like the ones you see in the screenshot.
* [http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe uninstall_flash_player.exe]
* [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe install_flash_player.exe]
Next, close Firefox via File | Exit (''it's important that you do it this way and not just by clicking the close button'')
Next, double click the '''uninstall_flash_player.exe '''file you downloaded earlier and then '''reboot'''. A reboot is necessary to remove the setting from the Windows Registry.
Next, double click the '''install_flash_player.exe''' file to reinstall Flash.
Finally, restart Firefox and see if it made any difference.

Unable to install Adobe Flash Player in Mozilla FireFox

I am attempting to download and install the current Adobe Flash Player using Mozilla FireFox 19.
When I go to the download page this is what I see - no Download Button:
http://awesomescreenshot.com/02411pbs45
I have disabled my AV - no change. I have the latest version of Java activated.
I do have Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX installed in IE 10.
I run Windows 7, 64 bit, on an HP Pavilion dv7.
Thanks.

Could not see how to reply on the discussions page so am replying here. DOH! Was not signed in.
I only use FireFox and rarely IE.
Went to the provided page and saw this:

In the meantime I was able to download and install Adobe Flash Player 10. Will work with this in the meantime.
Thanks.

Flash player freezes in Firefox

Flash player is causing Firefox to freeze for about 30 seconds whenever I access a website which uses flash.
I am using the latest version of Firefox (v19.0.2) and the latest version of Adobe Flash (v11.6.602.171). This same problem has existing for at least the last 5 versions released by Firefox and Adobe Flash Player. My OS is Win7 64-bit.
I am 100% certain that flash is the source of the Firefox freezing problem because I can cause the Firefox freezing to stop and start again by disabling and enabling the Adobe Flash plugin. In order for me to make Firefox usable, I always disable the Adobe Flash plugin.
I have read on the web that many other Firefox users in the Win7 environment have the same problem that Firefox freezes when Adobe Flash is installed and enabled. There are many reports that the freezing in Firefox can be solved by disabling protected mode in Adobe Flash.
Unfortunately, the method available for disabling protected mode will not work for myself or anyone else that works on computers issued and supported by my Fortune 500 company. The method of adding a line to the mms.cfg file requires users to have admin rights to editing files in the \windows\system32 directory structure. The company I work for has all computers without such admin privileges. Since there is no alternate for disabling protected mode, myself and all 4000 of my colleagues have no options for fixing this freezing problem.
Can you please solve this issue by either 1) working with Firefox so that the browser will no longer freeze when Adobe Flash player is installed, enabled, and protected mode is enabled, or 2) make protected mode a configurable feature that can be enabled or disabled by any user group in Windows Control Panel.
Thanks in advance for you consideration,
jlavie5555

Hi jlavie5555,
I'm sorry you're encountering these pauses. We work very closely with Mozilla and have been hard at work trying to solve all related protected mode issues since this security feature was released. We do have a few additional troubleshooting steps you might want to consider taking (in addition to disabling protected mode.) Please see this faq for details:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
We also have a new 11.7 beta available that contains significant changes to improve protected mode. I suspect you might be blocked from installing it, but if this option is available to you I would recommend giving it a try.

Thanks,
Chris

How do I install Adobe Flash Player on Mozilla Firefox browser

How do I install Adobe Flash Player on Mozilla Firefox Browser?

Download and run the installer from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

I have Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, but I'm still missing Flash Player?

So I have installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, and I'm able to watch youtube videos on my browser and other things that require flash player, but I have a disc that i got along with my Samsung monitor, and when I put it in my computer, it says that I do not infact have flash player. Also, when I try playing a game, DawnGate, theres a black box where a video should be, and it says that i do not have flash player, and it is required to watch these videos. I tried uninstalling, and I was unable to watch youtube, and when i reinstalled, I was able to watch youtube again, but that did not fix my problem. Is there something I'm missing? I look forward to hearing from someone soon.

Odds are it's looking for the IE plugin: (A lot of software just assumes ALL Windows users are "slaves to Microsoft" and only have IE installed.)
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
or the standalone Player:

Adobe Flash Player crashes on Firefox (NetSteam, Stratus)

Flash Player version: 11,8,800,97 (last)
OS: Windows 7
Browser: Mozilla Firefox 22.0 (last)
Problem: Adobe Flash Player crashes on Firefox, when runnig project with such elements like NetSteam, Stratus.
When problem happen: Only when some streamed data is incoming, after random time. Time before crash can be 4 minutes, it also can be 2 minutes. Memory leaks or disk space usage didn't change and don't seem to be a reason. Problem happen when I was testing my voice chat together with few people. At one moment it crashed at few computers at the same time (which were using Firefox). Then we had luck with repeating this problem several times - simply by asking one of us to play any music into Microphone. Then Firefox Flash Player always crashing.
Here you can see repeating of problem: http://youtu.be/BdkoQxloyDA
It also show that it does not crashes if nobody is sending audio stream in created group, but it does when somebody is sending audio stream. In that video I'm repeating problem by myself, with help of one computer and 2 tabs of Flash Player. First is running in Chrome, second in Firefox. Player in Chrome is used to send system sound from speakers to peer group. Player in Firefox is listening and playing everything he hears (this is why I set it's volume to near 1).
Here is .swf :
http://www.plazmaburst2.com/vchat/vchat.swf?1375377116&l=ANY_LOGIN_NAME&g=b1a2e6f17f339b63 6382b2d6cccadb21
It's very simplified voice chat which only displays streams which are being heared. It's adding " is talking" when stream is sending data. "g" parameter is a group name, I think you can choose any, but tests were made with this one.
Hope it helps. If you will need .fla file - just tell me.

Your issue is distinct from the original poster's issue about a crash on Mac. I've branched this out to a new thread so that we're not confusing everyone.
Firefox on Win8 isn't very stable. We're collaborating with Mozilla on improvements, and my test results with the daily development builds are really promising, but it will be a few more weeks before they actually make it to production releases.
In the meantime, you're way better off using IE or Chrome.

Make Flash Plug-In for Firefox Remember Privacy Settings for Camera and Mic Access on Local File

My company is using Flash Player to develop some kiosk-style applications to run on a standalone computer (no network connection). This computer will contain web pages containing Flash content. They will be opened from the local HD with Firefox with the Adobe Flash plug-in (v11.7.700.224). One of the applications accesses the microphone hooked up to the computer. When this application is started, it always asks for permission for "local" to access the microphone and camera. In previous versions of our system, we could click "Remember" if we did it once and that would make it so it wouldn't ask for permissions again (in this case, the Remember option isn't available, and the site settings don't even offer the Privace tab). However, in the previous case, we were running IE with a previous ActiveX Flash version (unfortunately, this approach is no longer available as we have had to switch to Windows 8 and that changes the game with IE and Flash entirely).
At this point, we have tried to use the Global Settings for "Camera and Microphone Settings by Site..." to enter "Local" as an always allowed site. This does not seem to have any effect. We also tried entering the root directory of the applications in "Trusted Location Settings", but that also seemed to have no effect.
I'm not sure what has fundamentally changed here. I think there might be some differences in the Plug-In version (compared to ActiveX), but I'm not sure what they might be or how to do the same thing as before.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Torrey

Chris,
We learned that the Privacy tab (in Settings) can be found under the Flash plug-in for Firefox, but only if Firefox is running under an administrator.
Unfortunately, we haven't had much luck with the mms.cfg file. The following was used in the mms.cfg file (placed in both the %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash and %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash” directories):
AVHardwareDisable = 0
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = local
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = 127.0.0.1
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = localhost
AutoUpdateDisable = 1
The AVHardwareEnabledDomain settings seem to be getting ignored regardless of whether the user is a standard user or an administrator. I also checked to make sure it wasn't just a local problem by going to a website that uses a microphone (http://www.testden.com/accent-reduction/systemcheck.htm). Adding the requested domain to the list (AVHardwareEnabledDomain = train.act360.com) still didn't bypass the allow/deny dialog box.
We know that the mms.cfg file is being read because setting "AVHardwareDisable = 1" will result in no prompt and that section being greyed out in Global Settings. I saw a post that suggested this setting was required to even make the AVHardwareEnabledDomain work, but it seems to block the local entirely and still brings up the dialog query on the internet site.
Thanks,
Torrey

Flash player crashes in firefox but not in waterfox ??

i have tried the downgrade to ver 10 of flash. no problem in firefox but now my other programs that use flash will not run. error messages say that i am not up to the correct version. i uploaded waterfox and have had no problems using the latest flash. can you take the waterfox program segments and move them to firefox?
mark

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Flash not working in Firefox / Windows Update

Flash content is not displaying at all for me in Mozilla
Firefox (1.5.0.3, no extensions). I don't get the "additional
plug-ins are required", and I don't even see the space displayed
that the Flash object would take up on the screen.
Flash content works fine in Internet Explorer and Opera. I
had put this down as a Firefox issue, until the recent Microsoft
Windows Update patch for Flash -- Windows keeps telling me that
there is an update for the Flash player available that I should
install, but the installation fails every time I try it.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing both Flash and
Firefox, with no luck. Any suggestions on what I might try to clear
this up? Obviously, I could tell Windows (XP SP2, updates current
except this one) to ignore this patch, but I'd rather not do that
if there is a potential security issue. Plus, I'd like to get Flash
working again with Firefox.

I have 4 flash test files. Firefox does fine butv IE9 only displays two of them

I have 4 flash test files. Firefox does fine but IE9 only displays two of them. These display vertically and are just Flash moves of rolling text. Firefox diplays them fine but IE9 only shows two to them: 1 and 4a.
flash_words-1.swf
flash_words-2a.swf
flash_words-3a.swf
flash_words-4a.swf
Can anyone tell me how to fix it so that IE9 displays all four of them?
The URL is http://www.manhattes.com/home.html

On 1 and 4a you are using the gobbledegook of
AC_FL_RunContent
for Flash detection.
while 2 and 3 do not.
AC_FL_RunContent is a pretty old embed method so either apply that method to 2 and 3 or switch all 4 to swfobject:
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
or simply embed using a single <object> and no IE conditional statements ():
<object data="path_to_file/file.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="insert_width_of_movie" height="insert_height_of_movie">
<param name="movie" value="path_to_file/file.swf">
<param name="SomeOtherParam" value="ParamValue">
</object>

Installing latest Flash 10.1 in Firefox 3.0.19 on XP/32-bit

After uninstalling the previous version of Flash I found that the new Flash plugin would not install. I could download a file gp.xpi, but clicking it gave a message like "application unknown". I found that I had to manually select Firefox as the application to open the file gp.xpi in order to install the plugin. I've had the same trouble previously with Flash. I think that the instructions could be improved to cover this case. (Also it's not easy to find the article http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/dlm/firefox_steps.htmlhttp://www.adobe.com/products/r eader/dlm/firefox_steps.htmlhttp://www.adobe.com/products/reader/dlm/firefox_steps.html though this may not be related to my problem.)

> why not use the normal executable Flash Player installer for Firefox
I looked but could not find it.
All the "Install Flash player" pages should clearly say:
"You probably will need to use this uninstaller to uninstall
the old version first" and specify the link to the uninstaller.
Firefox users should be shown a link to the executable
you mention (or an explanation like mine of what to do
if they can't install the plugin) because otherwise they
will probably not find the executable and will not know
what to do.

Trying to find out which line of AS2 code is causing flash player crash in firefox & chrome browser

Hello,
I have a flash movie (AS2) created for the website visitors' registration and this flash movie is longer in size than the browser's window height so that site visitors need to browse down using browser's vertical scroll bar to see all of the contents in the flash movie.
When users click the submit button in the flash movie then
Firstly, the AS2 code attached to the      on(release){    event scrolls the html page back to the top (because the user must have scrolled down to view the flash movie content at the bottom of the page and I want the html page to go back to the top of the page)
getURL("javascript:window.scroll(0,0)");    // this is the AS2 code I have used for scrolling the page back to the top. I suspect this code is causing the flash player crash in firefox and google chrome
and also tells the _root of the flash movie to go to and stop at a frame named "StartEnteringData".
_root.gotoAndStop("StartEnteringData")     //making the _root of the movie to go to the "StartEnteringData" frame
this.gotoAndStop("Start")                                  //making this movieclip which contains the registation form to go to the first blank frame labelled "Start"
The "StartEnteringData" frame on the _root of the flash movie has AS2 code for entering the registration data to the database by using loadVariablesNum( ... )
Here's my question.
Almost everytime the user/visitor click the Submit button, the firefox browser users and google chrome browswer users see the Flash Player CRASH...
This doesn't happen often with the website visitors using MS Internet Explorer.
I have read some www articles (by searching google) saying that Adobe Flash Player in Firefox and Chrome browsers crash a lot.
But, for my flash movie, everytime the visitor clicks the submit button, flash player crashes. Therefore, I guess it is the AS2 code that I'm using (associated with the on(release) event of the submit button) is causing the flash player crash rather then the flash player compatibility with Firefox and Chrome browsers.
So, someone please tell me what's causing the flash player crash.
Is there a better code to make a web page to go back to the top?
I am also using the codes shown below on the first keyframe of the main movie. (_root)
//For custom flash right click menu:
var myMenu_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.zoom = true;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.quality = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.print = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.save = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.loop = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.rewind = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.play = false;
myMenu_cm.builtInItems.forward_back = false;
_root.menu = myMenu_cm;
//For tiling the flash movie background with bitmap picture
import flash.display.BitmapData;
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("pattern");
this.beginBitmapFill(tile);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
this.lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, Stage.height);
this.lineTo(0, 0);
this.endFill();

by repeatedly commenting out lines of code you suspect are causing the crush and retesting you should be able to pinpoint the problem.

How to intercept the Adobe Flash plugin block by firefox checking for vulnerabilities?

The trouble is the grey block, that asking to update Adobe Flash because the version is vulnerability. If the block of Flash object is smaller, then 100px height - there is an empty space, but not gray block with talking about version. I need to intercept the moment using JavaScript, when Firefox checking the version of plugin to make changes in my HTML code to make a GIF, but not flash.
How to intercept the Adobe Flash plugin block by Firefox checking for vulnerabilities from JavaScript code?

hello, i don't think that this would be possible (but i'm not sure). what you could do is try to sniff the version of flash that is installed & the firefox useragent and just assume that old versions of the plugin will be blocked in this combination.
if you need more help about that, i'd recommend posting in a forum that is more specialized & knowledgeable in web development like http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25, since we here on the firefox support forums are primarily focused on support for end-users...
