Flash Player 10 works in Safari and Firefox, but not IE 8?

Most times (not all) I load a page with Flash in IE, when I close, I get an error saying "IE has stopped responding" and then says it's something to do with Adobe Flash player. Since IE is the only browser that seems to freeze and stop responding due to Flash Player, could it be a problem with IE and not Flash Player? If so, how do I fix the problem? Please help. I'm getting desperate. I've been installing and uninstalling for at least two days now with no successs.

The error is "Internet Explorer has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". Then when I click on the Windows solutions icon, it says:
Adobe Flash Player has stopped working properly.
To troubleshoot this problem, follow these steps:
Click to go online and run the Flash Player uninstaller
In the File Download dialog box, click Run, and then follow the instructions to uninstall flash player. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click to go online and install the Flash Player update
I've done both these things for 2-3 days now. Nothing works.

Just installed IE 10. Adobe Flash is installed, and works in Chrome and Firefox, but not IE10

Please, someone tell me what's going on. This is driving me nuts!

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save target as" (IE).
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Save it - DO NOT run it.
Reboot, and THEN run it.

PDF Documents with Functional Buttons - Works for IE and FireFox but not for Chrome and Safari

To all,
Good morning. Our institution developed a PDF document with functional buttons for printing and e-mailing. When the document is viewed via Internet Explorer and Firefox, the functional buttons work as expected. However if the document is viewed via Chrome and Safari, the functional buttons do not work. The workaround for those who are using Chrome and Safari, the PDF document needs to be saved to their local drive before the functional buttons work.
Has anyone experienced this issue before? If yes, what was your solution other than the workaround.
Thanks.

Quicktime file works in Camino and Firefox, but not Safari

Hi all,
I just updated my iWeb site, which I use as a portfolio site. I have quicktime files loaded that are commercials I've worked on. Today I added one via iWeb, loaded it, then went to watch it and it doesn't work. The page opens, the QT window is there, but it's like the file doesn't load. The play line at the bottom remains light gray, and it doesn't fill up showing that the file is loading. HOWEVER, i've gone to both Camino and Firefox and it plays in both of those browsers.
I was previously on 3.1.2 and noticed there was an update available. Updated, then tried again and the same problem persists. I'm confused.
I'm guessing this has to be a Safari thing since i've been successful getting it to play in 2 other browsers. Has anyone come across this and know of anyway I can get this work? Having this available for viewing is pretty important, as I use that site as a portfolio site and a means of getting jobs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Okay, so both are back in the folder and I'm back to where I started; the QT window loads, but the status bar does not seem to be loading, that is, I can hit the play button but it won't play b/c it's like the file is not loading.
I did go to Help>Safari>Installed Plug-ins. Both are shown; there's a section for QuickTime Plugin.plugin and for QuickTime Plugin.webplugin. Both have a much larger header above them that says "QuickTime Plug-In 7.5.5." Not sure if that's pertinent or not. Just thought I'd post that info.
Okay, so here is the page to my spot that doesn't work in Safari, but does in Camino and Firefox:
http://www.smithcory.com/portfolio/NFLSuper_AdPromo.html
It's a small file, 4.6MB's so I can't imagine file size being a problem. There is a slight difference bt firefox and Camino when playing it; in Firefox, it takes about 8 seconds before it will start playing, like Firefox is loading it or something. In Camino, it plays right away. Not sure if that helps or is pertinent again, but just trying to provide as much info as I can. Thanks for the help.

Flash has suddenly stopped working with Safari and Firefox.

I have a Wordpress blog. Suddenly, Flash has stopped working on Safari and Firefox in relation to my Wordpress module. But everything works fine from my PC laptop and other MACs owned by friends, etc. It is only on my iMac that Flash has stopped working. Any ideas?

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? Do you have a 32 bit or 64 bit version?

Flash player doesnt work on safari, even with the last version 11.6

hello,
Since yesterday, my flash player doesnt work on safari (OS X10.8.2). I tried to update flash with the last version (11.6) from adobe website, but i still have the same probleme. Can you please help me ?
Thank you

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
5. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
6. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

                                                                                          bing (work on videos from their video section - entertainment type, but not from news videos)
the common thing here seems to be that news type videos crash and entertainment type don't. also videos seem more likely to crash on internet portals like yahoo

Safari and Firefox both not loading any pages yet when i run diagnostics it says i am connected to the internet... any ideas???

I am having the same problem. My airport says i'm connected with full bars but when i click on safari it takes a few minutes then says i'm not connected to the server.

I can only run safari with the ethernet cable connected. That is how i'm connected now.. any ideas what it might be.. i have reset safari, emptied the cache, renewed the DHCP lease.. and all of the obvious... Please anyone help..oh p.s. my iphone picks up the wireless so it is working.. HELP......

I've found that if I make it smaller either by changing the wrapper or exporting a smaller size from photoshop, the size is fine on Safari and Firefox but really small on Chrome. Prefer bigger rather than smaller but would be so great if there was something I could do to get them all the same...
Help. Thanks

Since we can't see your images without a link to your work in progress, my guess would be your zoom settings in those browsers are set to something other than 100%.
You are also shooting yourself in the foot in a major way with all that absolute positioning. APDivs have been removed from DW in newer versions because Adobe finally came to their senses and stopped allowing the marketing department to dictate how design should be done.

Safari and Firefox do not open search engines

I have an IMac 8.1, with OS 10.5.8. Recently, our internet browser programs (safari and firefox) will not open any search engine (google, bing or yahoo). However, I am able to navigate to web-sites that I manually type in (e.g., www.cnn.com). Does anyone know what the cause, and fix, to this issue? Also, this behavior did coincide with a recent update to our Intego Antivirus software, but I think this is unrelated.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Maybe not. Most, if not almost all, anti-virus software interferes with OS X and is not required.
Try installing Glims:
If you want to fix your Google search to a specific Google location, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:
http://www.machangout.com/
which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! Such as enabling Safari to run full-screen, and more.)
(It adds items to Safari Preferences).
Not only does it already list a number of search engines and regions, but you can also add any other search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:
http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine
Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.

My bulleted list displays correctly in IE 8 and Firefox, but not in IE 7

I have a simple bulleted list in a right floated sidebar for a website. If views fine in IE 8 and Firefox, but not in IE 7 (and perhaps earlier, though I only have access to machines with IE 7 and 8.
Because the default indent for the bulleted list moves it too far to the right, I set a negative margin for that area of text in order to move it to the left a little. While it looks great in IE 8 and Firefox, it appears this margin setting is causing the bulleted list to shift too far to the left in at least IE 7. The rest of the copy in the sidebar div lookes fine including the title and paragraph copy.
Can anyone suggest a fix?
Also, I noticed the spacing above the main content div is smaller in IE 7 than with the IE 8 and Firefox. This div has a h1 heading followed by paragraphs. (This site was developed using a pre-existing CSS style sheet from Dreamweaver by the way.)

Strangely when I replied via e-mail my message got garbled when I looked at it here.
I was able to move over the bullet items to the left using your suggestion, however it now shows this line of copy above the page at the top of the window in the IE browser (both IE 7 and IE 8):

<title>Home Page</title>

<link href="../css/twoColFixRtHdr.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Flash Player 11.4.402.265 and Firefox 15/15.0.1 Not Compatible?

I have mentioned this in two recent posts, but wanted to start a new thread to call attention to what I believe is an important issue.
Starting with the update of Firefox 15, and continuing into version 15.0.1, my Firefox browser has logged a series of "silent" crashes. By silent I mean that there was no visible sign that a crash had taken place. I found out about them by typing about:crashes into Firefox's address bar. (I actually do this about once per week just to make sure that there are no problems that should be addressed.)
All of the crashes--and there were dozens--were "empty" in that no source could be identified. Specifically, the following appeared at the top of each crash report:
Firefox Crash Reports [@ EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump ]
In addition, the crashes were intermittent.   I checked this out by constantly checking for new crashes after calling up various web sites. For instance, I would would go to Google News, check for a crash report, go to a feature story, check for a crash report, watch a YouTube video, check for a crash report, close Firefox, open it, check for a crash report, etc. What I found was that I often would visit 20 or more sites before a crash report was filed; however, an average of ten crashes appeared daily--again, all with NO indication of what had caused the crash.
At first, I could see no pattern, so I troubleshooted by enabling/disabling hardware acceleration for both Firefox and Flash Player, enabling/disabling cookies, enabling/disabling JavaScript, etc. I spent several hours doing this.
I also scoured the various Firefox "help" forums, but it seemed that the same answers appeared on all of the forums, and they pretty much echoed the troubleshooting steps I had taken. (It seems that the major issue now is the fact that hardware acceleration causes Firefox 15.0.1 to crash for many users.)
Finally, I noticed that I had been on a site containing an embedded flash video, just prior to a crash. (Interestingly, I never received a crash report after watching a YouTube video on YouTube.)   I then tried disabling Protected Mode in Flash Player, which worked several months ago after the new "sandboxing" provision was introduced, and was found to be incompatible with the then-version of Firefox. So far, this has stopped all crashes. After three days of normal usage and surfing, there have been no reports, whereas, prior to doing this, I was averaging at least one per hour.
This leads me to believe that the designers of the latest version of Firefox have either omitted whatever code string was used to fix the problem that occurred last June, or some new, incompatible code has been included.    Either way, I think that this should be looked into by BOTH Adobe and Mozilla as soon as possible--but especially by Mozilla, since Flash Player 11.4.402.265 worked just fine with Firefox 14.0.1.
It should be noted, by the way, that I did a recent check of Firefox's "top crashers" and the empty crash report is by far the most common--over 877,000 at the time I checked. If I understood the graph, there has been an escallation since the introduction of version 15.0. How many of them are silent, and therefore, unnoticed by the users, is anyone's guess, but I suspect that I'm not the only user on the planet this is happening to.
In case it's needed, I'm using:
Windows 7, Home Premium Service Pack 1 (Windows Classic user interface)
Firefox 15.0.1
Flash Player 11.4.402.265
Hardware Acceleration disabled for both Firefox and Flash Player
Since all of my crash reports, prior to disabling Protected Mode, were useless, I have deleted them.

Message was edited by: Ortho_Fan ADDED -- 9/15/12 --   I periodically check Windows 7's "Performance Monitor" and noticed today that one of the "silent crashes" was picked up by Windows. The following details were posted:

This appeared before I disabled Flash Player's Protected Mode, but coincides with one of the empty crashes reported in Firefox. I know nothing about Windows crashes, where to find the reports, etc.

Hi schützenkönig:
Many thanks for posting! As you can see, I made my initial post over a week ago, and since there were no responses, I thought perhaps I was the only one this was happening to!
In any event, disabling Protected Mode is the only way I've found to prevent the crashes from happening.
I posted about this on the mozillazine forum -- http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2551745&sid=7e877237158ffdc560789fb668c 858c0 -- but didn't get very far. Apparently, Firefox is blaming Adobe and has no plans to do anything about it. I was given some reassurance, however, by the comment that adblock plus offers protection from harmful flash content.
By the way, I made a follow on post when I downloaded the latest version of Flash Player -- 11.4.402.278 -- http://forums.adobe.com/message/4708561#4708561
Unfortunately, it did nothing to fix the problem.

Shortcuts not working on Safari and Firefox

I just upgraded to Yosemite and have the following problem: no shortcuts for menu commands work anymore on Safari or Firefox. Simple test: start Safari and click cmd-Q to quit. Normally it should just quit. on my Macbook it doesn't. On Firefox, the menu bar flashes once, but that's about it.
A few facts:
Macbook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013)
Mac OS 10.10 installed and running
Both, Safari and Firefox, are upgraded to the latest versions.
No keyboard additions installed
Swiss keyboard installed
Nothing changed regarding keyboard preferences
Anybody else experiencing the same or has any idea, how to fix it?
TIA

Problem solved. It all had to do with the primary language (NOT the keyboard) set to Swiss German, instead of just German. Seems a bug to me, but at least I have a workaround.
