Flash no longer working on Firefox after update

Moments ago I installed the Flash update after it came up on my screen asking to update, after doing so Flash is no longer working on Firefox, it works fine on other browsers. I cant view videos, look at flash objects etc. It was working perfectly fine before up untill the update. Anybody know how to resolve or fix this issue?

Dear Chris:
Yes, turning off Protected Mode indeed solves the problem!
Specifically, we today (June 9, 2012) installed the new Adobe Flash v. 11.3.300.257 on several Windows 7 PC's, all running Firefox v. 14 (Beta), and none of the Firefox installations would confirm that the installation was performed successfully. For example, the Adobe Flast test/about site, https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about, would not work. And, likewise, YouTube videos and other Flash-encoded videos did not work either.
So, we tried your suggestion to disable the new Protected Mode, and it worked. That is, every single machine on which Flash did not work in Firefox now functions perfectly. So this conclusively demonstrates that there indeed is some kind of bug in the implementation of Protected Mode.
Can you please let me and the other Adobe users know when this is fixed. Thanks.
Also, could you likewise let us know the risks of turning of Protected Mode (although we really don't have any choice, as Flash will not work on Firefox with PM turned on).
Thank you. Much appreciated.

Since installing Flash update today, Flash no longer works on FireFox (works fine on IE)

As prompted, Adobe Flash update was installed today. Since installing , Flash no longer works with FireFox (works ok with IE);

Hi guys - for me this helped.
Close Firefox - open Internet Explorer - got to the Adobe Flash Player Site:
http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/
In IE you can see there is the 64-bit version - (in Firefox there was just the 32-bit version) - got to: (others)
http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/otherversions/
choose your system and version
download it via internet explorer and install the adobe flash player
restart firefox and it should work.
helped me after wasting one day of my life to find a solution, alle sites work just fine now.
hope this helps.

Flash no longer works with Firefox 13

so I have Firefox 13.0.1 and upgraded flashplayer to 11.3 and flash no longer works. I've tried lots of things, but finally downgraded flas player to 11.2. Still no joy. The only way I can get Flash to work is if I start Firefox in safemode with add-ons disabled. If i manually disable add-ons from within Firefox is still doesn't work, so I guess that isn't quite the same as the safemode disabling. I don't have RealPlayer installed. I tried creating a new profile, but still no joy. Any other ideas for me to try please?

Try to disable hardware acceleration.

Javascript buttons and links no longer work in Firefox after latest update

Whenever I try to use a javascript button or link, nothing happens, I just get a message in the bottom bar such as: "javascript:window.close();" telling me what the command is, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I cannot close windows in social security or in any other program using javascript. This has happened since the last upgrade to Firefox 11. I even tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling (using the Mozilla instructions to '''completely''' remove Firefox) a fresh Firefox eleven, to no avail. I made sure javascript was completely enabled in tools/options/content

I have a similar problem like this. I dont know what the deal is but since some type of either add on upgrade or firefox upgrade i get notifications to install flash when i try to launch anything from google music. I did everything you can think of including uninstalling, reinstalling both the add on "No Script" Firefox itself, ran several diagnostic programs to ensure it wasnt any type of malware, reinstalled Adobe Flash 11, Verified Java version. I even tried to play music from google music in IE8 and that worked so its clearly Mozilla and its add ons. I disabled No Script and Google Music miraculously started working fine. This is pretty irritating considering I do everything in my power to ensure I dont get hit with any type of malware, virus, spyware, etc and No Script is definitely an Add on i like to use for that very reason since Firefox no longer supports the Norton Web Tracker add on. Any fix for this foolishness would be great, thanks!!

Flash does not work on youtube after update

I use Firefox on Fedora 14 x86_64. I do not have the 32-bit applications or libraries installed. I have been having the problem for a while. I saw it with FF 3.6.14, FF 3.6.15, and FF 4 beta. I do not know if this is specifically a FF issue. Firefox operates the Adobe flash module with NS Wrapper and the problem seem to be with NS Wrapper. I do not know how the FF and the NS Wrapper projects are related.
The problem is that 90% of the time FF fails to startup the video player plugin when I visit a page with video. It plays normally once it starts but usually it just doesn't start. When it happens, there are usually no graphics drawn for the video object (no black box, no thumbnail, no video player gadget, just a big empty space). When I run from a terminal then I get the error messages listed below.
I am using the recent 64-bit flash release. flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710. This worked before and it works with the Konqueror browser.

Flash plugin crashes every time it loads.
Flash works fine here on Firefox and Safari (actually 10.6 users shouldn't be using Safari as Apple doesn't support it anymore)
You said you reinstalled OS X, but that only does OS X unless you first wiped the drive of all users (and their data!) and programs.
So your issue is likely a corrupted Flash user cache file or user permissions issue in your user account.
Since you uninstalled and reinstalled Flash and the problem continues, that would suggest it's the cause.
It can likely be confirmed by logging into another user account.
You can delete your Flash cache file in the Apple menu > System Preferences also use the OnyX routine in the Step by Step fixes should clear other cache issues.
Also run through this list of fixes to eliminate other issues (like failed user account permissions) as you generally tune up your machine.

Why does Google voice no longer works in Firefox after adding addtional credit but does in Safari?

I am using Mac OS 10.10 with FireFox 30.0.2 as my browser. I was making calls OK on Goggle Voice through my G-Mail account. when I ran out of credit. I loaded additional credit and tried to resume calling. However, I kept get getting the following error message "Please download the voice plugin to make a call". Following the provided link lead me into a blind ally. Tried downloading a voice plugin and reinstalling, but no luck. Tried closing Firefox and reopening, but again no luck. There are no problems when using Safari as my browser. calls go through just fine.
Can't figure out why it worked just fine and thenstopped after laoding addtional credit.

Hello,
Try clearing your cookies and cache and then try signing in again.

Photo stream no longer working on pc after update

my photo stream says it is not enabled and to open icloud...
so i do and i activate it and i apply
BUT it still says it is not enabled
suggestions?

I moved my old photo stream file (with the pictures from when it did work) to a dvd-r. Then I uninstalled iCloud from the control panel. Restarted my computer and reinstalled iCloud from the web. It gave me new folders with pictures from my devices. It does not send all of the pictures rather only the last 100 ish. My photo stream on my iPad and iPhone where unaffected. It's the best I've come up with.

The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

Flash no longer works in Chrome

I was playing apps on facebook on a Chrome browser last night, when at about midnight (cst) Flash crashed. No problem, usually I just refresh & it's fine. Not last night. I uninstalled & reinstalled six times. No luck. Absolutely no Flash working on Chrome. I switched to IE8, where it does crash more often than it used to on Chrome, but was still working after one uninstall/reinstall. Reading the forums, I got so confused, I don't know what to do. I don't understand all the technical terms. I gather from reading that a new version was released, which appears to be the problem. My computer is 64-bit, which I am aware is the problem causing the crashes. Can I get some help in plain-English-computer-idiot? Please. I miss my farmville & my food spoiled in cafe world.
thanks,
Pam (dewolf99)

hey, thanks for getting back to me so fast.
Guess what? My computer-genius son is down for the weekend, and fixed whatever I did wrong. He said that while Chrome appeared to be closed, there were still Chrome.exe processes remaining. As a result, when I tried to install Flash, it would install incorrectly...telling me the download was successful, while in reality it wasn't.
Let me know if you still want that info, I can still post it if you want me to.
Thanks, Pam (dewolf99)

Subject: Flash no longer works in Chrome
Hi, thanks for starting your thread:-) Yes it is confusing, I agree. Some threads are more so and I didn't want you to get mixed up in those.
Please post back what operating system you are using, Windows XP, ??. Also since your system is a 64bit, you always need to use the 32bit browser, which I'm sure you are aware of.
In order to save you some time, go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash Right click on Flash and Open the folder. Then post back all files listed there. The files NPSWF you will need to right click on each one and then click on Properties in order to obtain the version numbers.
If you need direction on how to get to the Flash folder let me know.
Keep in mind also, that since Adobe come out with an update for Flash Player, some of the websites may be updating as well. Hopefully it was just a glitch and nothing wrong with your computer Flash Player. We'll see.
Thanks,

Flash no longer working on webpage - why?

A charity organization I occasionally do photography for has
a bilingual website with a 'Flash only' intro page. But since
upgrading my browser's (IE and Firefox on XP) Flash plugin to v10 I
get just a blank white page. The code is there if I select View
Code, but the Flash does not load.
I succeeded in reinstalling the v9.47 Flash reader and their
site's now working again. But I'm concerned that many visitors
whose support they rely on will not be able to load their website
if they update their Flash viewer and are not computer savvy enough
to know what to do to fix it. The impression one gets is that the
website is no longer there.
Is there something I can tell them to do with their Flash
code that will resolve this? Is this a known issue for which a fix
is forthcoming? Folks designing websites that rely on Flash must be
concerned, no?
I don't know enough about Flash to offer them a suggestion on
how to fix whatever be wrong with their code, if that's what's
causing it. Any insight is appreciated.
The website is
http://www,procure.ca and it
provides information on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and
eventual cure of prostate cancer.
Thanks,
Russell

Flash doesn't work in IE after virus

After my wife got a virus Flash no longer works. Initially IE would not run at all but I was able to google some information that allowed me to tweak the registry and I was able to get IE to run. However, I have been unable to get Flash to work.
I have installed/uninstalled numberous times with various uninstall programs. I have checked to insure that the kill bit has not been set.
When I install Flash from IE I get a message in red indicating that Flash has already been installed.
My wife's computer is running Windows 7 64 bit and Internet Explorer 8.
I was able to install Firefox and get Flash to install and run in it.
Any ideas of what else I could try to get Flash to work in IE?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In Maromed/Flash:
Flash10p.ocx
FlashInstall.log
flashplyer.xpt
FlashUtil10p_ActveX.dll
FlashUtil10p_ActivX.exe
lashUtil10p_Plugin.exe
install.log
NPSWF32.dll
Flash is not showing up in the list of plugins. I checked the registry and it doesn't appear that the registry entries for Flash are appearing there either.
If I go to flash.com it takes me to a page that will either show me a flash presentation or tell me I need to download and install it. I get the message indicating that I need to intall it.
Thanks again for the help.

Firefox after updating to 37.0.1 doesn't play yahoo news videos ?

After updating to 37.0.1 yahoo news videos are not playing. Youtube/msn videos are working. It did not have this issue before this 37.0.1 update. I tried deleting history, cache etc. completely but it did not help.
I tried the steps described in
Firefox after updating to 37.0.1 doesn't play youtube videos.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1055848
I did reset firefox. It started working but annoyed with pop-up adds. I installed Ad Blocker. It stopped working.
It look like Firefox 37.0.1 does not like some of the add_ons/plugins installed on previous version.
How do I block pop_up adds, malware, tracking etc in Firefox 37.0.1 ?
Why does some videos are working and other are not?
Thanks for helping.

Does it make a difference if you use a Flash based player or a HTML5 media player?
Are you using the HTML5 media player or the default (Flash based) player?

Upgraded to CS3 and Flash no longer works in browsers

Since upgrading to CS3 my Flash no longer works in my top
table. Exact same files worked fine in CS and CS2 and whatever it
was before CS. Any Flash that is in the top table on any of my
pages doesn't appear.
Now it doesn't appear in IE or Firefox. Can see it fine if I
"preview in browser" but when uploaded to site can't view at all.
Any solutions? Please reply to [email protected]
Thanks.
