Flash IS updated, but every Firefox upgrade instructs me to upgrade it. Why?

This version is Ffox 3.6.10. Probably ALL iterations of 3.6 have acted as though Flash Player were previous to 10.1.
Is there a way I can confirm that FF sees the already installed version of Flash Player?

Your list of plugins shows Shockwave Flash 10.1 r53, the latest version is 10.1 r82. You can get it from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
You can check your list of installed plugins by opening the add-ons manager (it's on the tools menu) and selecting the plugins panel.

Why the Flash Player updates almost every day?

Why does the Flash Player update almost every day?

You think these are the only/main cause of security issues?
As a developer let me tell you it is far from the case. Most security issues are a direct result of user carelesness.
Let me give you an example....
I'm just a loley ole developer, no one special, but I do create many web apps/mobile apps, and many are free, and widely distributed.
One example is a social networking web app based on html5 and google maps api - a gps enabled social web app.
trufaces.com
This is just one example of hundreds, I offer free hosting services truimagz.com/host and mush more.
Anyway, the point is... do you have any idea how many people sign up using an email adress and their actuall email password as their login info?
90%+
I, just some schmuck, have access to over 50,000 email accounts and passwords at any given moment. Thank god I'm trustworthy eh?
Just food for thought.

I can't seem to run my Playlist under Yahoo Music.. it runs fine with IE 9 but not Firefox 4 .... any idea why?

I can't seem to run my Playlist under Yahoo Music.. it runs fine with IE 9 but not Firefox 4 .... any idea why? I can run a single song just not my playlist.
Thanks.

Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

Flash is updated but flash applications don't work when viewed in Firefox, while they work in IE

in several applications, there is a flash application that doesn't work -- flash movies don't play, etc. I checked Tools and it tells me that Flash is loaded and current. I'm stumped. This is a brand new computer.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_plugins
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Downloaded Flash Player update but still doesn't work!

Hi I have downloaded several times the new update for Flash Player and every time I go on to watch iPlayer it still asks to download the software. I have done the instructions about 6 times now and its really annoying! Its a Mac laptop - can anyone help???

Yes I downloaded it and installed it. I have also uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled it and yet it still doesn't recognise it.

I've installed the flash player update, but I don't know how to make it run.

How do you launch the new update on safari? I can't view any web videos.

Attention Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Users:
We are working closely with Apple to address a few known issues related to Mac OS X 10.7 and Flash Player 10.3. For a list of known issues, please see the following Knowledge base Article:
Flash Player
Flash Player may cause higher CPU activity when playing a YouTube video. This issue isossibly related to disabled hardware acceleration.
UPDATE: The final release of Mac OS X 10.7 provides the same support for Flash hardware video acceleration as Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6). The previous known Issue suggesting that video hardware acceleration was disabled in Lion was incorrect and based on tests with a pre-release version of Mac OS 10.7 that related to only one particular Mac GPU configuration. Adobe continues to work closely with Apple to provide Flash Player users with a high quality experience on Mac computers.
The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7.
G,
Thanks for posting that. It sounds like there was an issue, it only involved one type of setup, and they list a work around for it. I'm running the latest version of Flash without issue on 10.6.8.

In Preferences I've chosen to have Firefox ask me before installing updates--but instead Firefox has installed updates without asking.

Just now I returned to my laptop to discover that Firefox had installed an update. The only option I was given was to restart now or later. I checked my preferences, and I definitely have them set to have FF ask me before installing.

The window that "asks" what you want to do only waits so long for an answer before it times out ''(as I recall when that happened to me, it waits 30 seconds)'' and then downloads the update.

My flash plugin is crashing every 2 minutes. I don't know why! I've tried everything on the support page. Nothing works, it's up to date, what do I do next?

I have updated all of my plugins. I have updated this particular plugin. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the plug in. I am using the most up-to-date version of Firefox. Still, it crashes after less than 2 minutes. I am not sure what else to do.

Adobe's Flash Troubleshooting page: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Probably the best, first step is to use their un-installer (item 3 on that page) (removes ALL Flash from your system including IE), then download the manual installer(s) (both - first "bulleted" item after #5) and re-install.

Downloading Flash Player-update

I tried to download the Flash Player-update, but i stopped on 30%. I tried several times, but it always stopped at 30% with the "downloading"-status under the progression-bar. I tried to uninstall Flash Player, and do a clean install, but it stopped at 30 % again! What to do?

Hi,
Are you using anti-virus software, if so, if you stop/exit the anti-virus software, does the installation proceed?
If not, or if the installation still does not proceed after stopping the anti-virus software, please try the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Macpage, in the 'Still having problems' section.

This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with the Flash Player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
(1) If you have any recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media make sure they are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them temporarily.
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista and higher)
See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
Here is a run-down of my process:
0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
Hope this helps.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

I hope U can tell me what to do and all my add ons are ok and my extensions are all good too!! thanks for helping me??

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar ("Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file.
You can also check for problems with preferences.<br />
Rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default value.

I cannot view some videos and participate in some websites since Adobe upgraded all to Flash 11.7. I have an older Mac G5 PowerPC (no Intel chip) running OS 10.5.8. I keep getting splash screens saying I have to update to Flash 11.7 but 11.7 is made for those Macs with an Intel chip. I am running the newest Flash for my system. It seems all concerned should have made Flash retro-compatible for those of us with older Macs. Is there a work around to this Flash requirement short of buying a new Mac with the Intel chip?

I'll bet you'll have better luck if you post your question in the Power Mac discussions here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_mac
Either that, or one of the forums at Adobe.
Good luck.
