Chris,
I've been running the Beta 265 version in FF 13.0.1 in Windows 7 Pro 64-bit for awhile now. (Note: I really had no issues with 262, just testing this one out). The loss of browser focus is still there. I've had a couple crashes:

They've all happened while watching NASCAR RaceBuddy at nascar.com during races. But, that was after using it for more than an hour and I think 1 race it never crashed. I had other tabs going at the same time and I'm sure some of them also had videos or other flash content. Other than those hiccups, no problems with playing videos or any audio issues. Doing any testing here where something has to run for an hour or more and may or may not occur would be a pain to test/verify if any settings actually fixed anything. I wonder if I should even report it but they did happen.
Oh, was testing out myspace as someone reported a problem there: http://www.myspace.com/tomhouse and it doesn't work when trying to play music there but I think that's due to a coding issue on their end not recognizing the version number as valid or something.

  • Flash Player not working after updating to 10.2 - Plz help - my research project is on hold now

    I updated my flash to latest version.. Everything gone.. Flash is completly not working now. I cannout see any youtube videos or any flash websites.
    I tried all the way possible to troubleshoot it. But failed. Still not working.
    My OS - Windows 7 - 32bit
    IE - 9 (latested) 32bit
    Flash Vesrion - 10.2 (Latest)
    I tried all the ways mentioned in this case: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3145974
    I have even removed teh compatible flag - such that to remove kill-bit, Still dint work.
    I see that eventhough i install in my IE manage addons i dont find any flash player or shock player to enable or to disable. .its completly not there.. Its very strange.
    I am using kasperky Pure. I could not figure out is there any option in kaspersky pure to disable ads block/popup.?
    Please help. I am not able to understand what is the problem.
    I have even noted some times automatically the flsh sites and youtube gets working after some reboot. But if i reboot again same problem.
    I have tried installing and uninstalling several times. Even rebooted. But nothing works.
    Please not i am not gettting any flash player addon options in my IE but i get the add on option in my Firefox which shows enabled. But still I have a doubt - what exact name of add on would be in FF. even in google chromes its not working. It says it has inbuilt Flash player.
    Please help me to rectify it. My research project is getting pending with this issue. Please help me to rectify it as soon as possible. Please.

    I am using Windows 7 - 32 bit. and the IE - 32bit.
    I have tried all the uninstalling and installing procedure. But it did not work for me.
    In my first post I had told that i was not getting any Addon in my IE. then i figured out when i click show all add-ons, then i see a shock player addon in my IE of the lastest verion 10.2. So please negelct that fact . I have an addon too in my IE 9
    But nothing works.
    When I go to the link you have provided. : http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Please note: (all the below browsers are very latest versions)
    In chrome - See nothing (place is white)
    In IE 9 -  See nothing (place is white)
    FF -  See nothing (place is white)
    when i right click on that place i get only 2 options:
    1. Movie not loaded....
    2. About Adobe Plash Player 10.2.152.26...
    Even when i open the youtube. the video portions are blank. n when i right click on it shows the above same 2 options.
    Kill-bit - when i checked it, i had a Compatible flag - but its values where all zeros. Still i deleted it. (So i do not think that was an issue)

    2. Local Intranet -
    Security level for this zone - Medium-low (Custom level - Scripting=enabled)
    3. Trusted sites -
    Security level for this zone - Medium (Custom level - Scripting=enabled)
    Furthere - Uninstall programme shows as follows : (Kindly have a look)
    Further - My knowledge - I do not have any adblock or adblock plus. I only suspect if Kaspersky Pure, if it has an option to block it. (I am not aware of it).
    Further - In my Chrome Plugin i see like this : I have a doubt here- Why i have 2 shockwave flash versions?
    I even tried disabling them one at each time alternatively and tried if youtube works - still same problem.
    I am suspecting might be quick time could have generated this problem. i had recently updated the quicktime. But when i checked in the help forum I got to know that quick time can cause problem, so i completly uninstalled it now. I do not have quick time in my system - but still the probelm was same.
    Please help.

  • Flash Player wants to be updated all the time

    I am running FireFox 3.6.9, and have upgdated Flashplayer to 10.1 r53 (the latest) I keep getting notified when checking my plugin updates that Flash wants to be updated and is vulnerable with more info message of
    This Plugin version has a security vulnerability etc.
    Is this just a glitch or should I just give up with flash player, it seems to work fine but if it has a security problem I will just give it a miss as I have had enough security problems with other programs and do not need any with this.
    Can anyone advise what I should do with this?

    Hi lasaboy   Glad you received a reply from Firefox. I had not heard they were updating with the previous version of Flash Player. The previous versions of Flash Player must always be Uninstalled however. I'll check that info out.
    Thanks for sharing, as many users are having problems with Firefox and Flash Player 10.1.
    Regards,

  • Flash Player quit when I updated it

    I have been using Flash Player with Firefox on my pc with Windows 7. I worked fine till I downloaded the latest update/version. Now it won't work. I researched the site and it mentioned Real Player...I looked in my programs and I don't have Real Player...any help out there?

    Sorry, I’ve been away.
    I use Firefox
    Flash Player played video until the last update, then won’t play video anymore…such as you tube, etc.
    I tried uninstalling the last update and reinstalling…won’t work
    I tried uninstalling the previous version and reinstalling…won’t work
    Any suggestions?...I don’t have Real Player ( at least where I can find it…never used it)
    Thanks

  • Flash Player not working since update

    I recently updated my Flash player and since then I only see a black box when something tries to play.  No error message or anything- just a black box.  I am running windows xp with mozilla firefox 3.6.8.  Any ideas?  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the flash player and I can always see the animation saying it was successfully downloaded.  I also tried disabling the firewall in CA Security Center and that didn't work either.  Any help would be appreciated.  THanks!

    Hi, sorry for the delay. Thanks for the info. To disable hardware acceleration, just go to youtube and bring up any video and right click on the video. Click on Settings, then Display Settings and you'll see where to turn it off.
    Ok on the SWF plugin Enabled. Unless you upgraded to a 64bit system, you most likely are using a 32bit. Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash   Open Flash and post back all files listed there. Any NPSWF file(s) you will need to right click on and then click on Properties to obtain the version numbers.  If you need directions to locate the Flash folder, let me know and I'll post them.
    Once we have this info, I'll have some info on CA for you.
    Thanks,

  • Flash player not working after updates

    My streaming videos stop working after the latest updates
    there is no Flash player on the device.

    If you had Flash Player before the update, you should be able to reinstall it from Google Play.  Go to the Play Store and look under My Apps, then All and it should be there ... update it.  There are several threads about this on this forum if you want to do a search.

  • Flash player not working after updating to 11.5. Help please!

    Hi,
    I am having problems running Flash player, I am NO expert whatsoever but I will do my best to describe. After updating to Flash 11.5 all applications using Flash including Youtube, Google Streetview etc stopped working. Youtube simply said "an error has occurred" the rest of the applications just didn't load and left me with a blank area of screen where the app/video etc would be. Have tried the usual removal and re-installing and re-installing older versions. The closest thing that has worked has been to re-install the even older version 10.3, which allows Youtube to work but all other applications request I update first, which of course leaves me back at square one.
    Could anyone please shed some light on this for me? Could it be a known problem? I've quickly exhausted my limited knowledge!
    Thankyou!

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating   system 
    Browser 
    Flash   Player version
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Adobe Flash Player not working since update

    Good Morning, I had a update yesterday and since then anything that uses Flash Player doesn't work, it stops sends a report to apple and thats it i've tried uninstalling the flash player and still nothing, I tried repairing the permissions in disk utility. Really no clue what to try next.

    I now have a solution to this problem, which has certainly worked for me.
    Backup system. Go to User/Home/Library/Preferences. Move all files in the Preferences folder to a new temporary folder on the desktop. Log out and log in again. Test. Embedded video should work.If it does, copy the old preference files back to the original Library/Preferences folder but select DO NOT REPLACE. Log out and back in again.
    To retrieve e-mail accounts, mail, and account settings, copy the COM.APPLE.MAIL.PLIST file from the temporary desktop folder into the Library/Preferences folder and select REPLACE. When you're happy that all your data is in place and everything works, delete the temporary desktop folder.
