Flash Player 9 / Firefox Hit State bug

The hit states in flash files lose their position
registration when a scroll bar is invoked on the browser.
For an example see navigate to:
http://www.getloadedonline.com
Upon entering site with a fully maximized browser, after
skipping the intro, the menu loads in and the rollover effects
initiate properly.
If you vertically resize the browser window invoking the
scroll bar, and scroll to the top of the page so that the
navigation area is visible, the hit states are no longer
registering properly where they are supposed to be.
Resizing the browser window so that the scroll bar goes away
brings the hit states of the navigational buttons back to where
they're supposed to be.
--edit--
just wanted to add that as far as i can tell this is only
going on in Firefox 1.5.0.3 for PC.

This could have something to do with the JavaScript you are
using to create the object embed tag.
Have you duplicated this issue with a basic HTML page?

Youtube/Firefox/Flash player 10.3.181.34 bug

Hi, i have a weird problem with flash player on youtube. If i press esc while watching a video on youtube the flash player plugin crash.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open firefox.
2. Open youtube.
3. Open any youtube video
4. Change to full screen.
5. Press esc.
Result: flash player crashes.
I don't have this problem with embedded youtube videos, just with www youtube com.
Downgrading to Flash Player 10.2.159.1 or disabling hardware acceleration fixes the problem.
This problem started when youtube changed their video frame to black some weeks ago...
So i'm confused i don't know if it is a Youtube problem, flash player problem, firefox problem or something else.
Pc spec:
Intel core 2 duo E7300
nvidia 8400 gs

Hi, surfing in the web i find a feasible workaround "A quick fix is to swap watch?v= with embed/ in the URL" from ubuntu forums "http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10516541&postcount=6".
I follow your advice and filed a new bug report fp-7485 but i dont' know why(security reason maybe) it's flagged as private.
I hesitate to upgrade the nvidia driver to the latest version 275.33 due a bug not fixed yet that messed up the nvidia control panel, the profiles, etc. But as soon as they fix it i will try.

I cannot get rid of the permissions box when using flash player in firefox

Hi
I have explored on the web about this problem. When attempting to use flash player in firefox, I cannot click on the allow button to allow my video camera and microphone to be used on sites. I CAN go to Global settings and allow the sites by putting their URL, but this makes no difference, the little permissions box keeps appearing and won't go away.
Anyone know what else to try if changing global setting permissions doesn't work?
Barry

This sounds like a bug. The direction that we're heading is to have the browsers present these permission dialogs, and to eliminate them from Flash completely. It is unlikely these native dialogs will support an "always allow" or "remember" option.
If you're not able to click the button in the dialog when it's displayed, that's problematic. We have a couple things in the pipeline to make the dialog bigger. Usually those problems are resolution specific, although if there's moving video behind the dialog, that can trip our security controls. We do a bunch of checks to ensure that the dialog you're clicking isn't obscured by something else, so that we're sure you know that you're clicking and approve button.
There is an improvement in the pipeline to make these dialogs bigger. They were originally designed for 640x480 screens (they've been around *that* long), and they're way too small on modern high-density displays.
Anyway, you're welcome to file a bug at http://bugbase.adobe.com/. Please be sure to include a link to the problem content, and the configuration you're using (OS and browser version, and screen resolution would be particularly useful -- these are often resolution-dependent issues).

Flash Player for Firefox on Win 8 / 64 bit

I'm trying to install Flash Player for Firefox on a Windows 8, 64 bit system, but have been having no end of grief.
I've finally traced the problem back to the origin, and it's happening because when I enter the info on the download page, it serves up the installer for the 32 bit version instead.
It does in fact verify on the page that I'm requesting and downloading the 64 bit version, but what I receive and then install is 32 bit. And consequently, I can't get Flash Player to work in Firefox.
Is there any way at all I can access the real 64 bit Flash Player for Firefox / Windows 8?

There is no separate 32-bit and 64-bit installer; on a 64-bit system the installer will automatically install both 32-bit and 64-bit players.
Download the installer from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe

How Update Flash Player for Firefox Without Running Firefox?

I have had a problem with Firefox freezing when I try to do just about anything other than simple browsing for at least two years. Updates don't help nor disabling all add-ons, nor reinstalling, etc. Nobody can figure out how to fix it so I use it as-is. I would like to update the Adobe Flash Player add-on but Firefox freezes every time I try. Is there a way to update the Flash Player in Firefox with actually running Firefox?
Thanks
Running XP SP3 and latest Firefox.
Also running IE8 using the latest Flash Player.

That worked, thanks so much. Now all I have to do is figure out where I can find similar files for all the other plugins that are outdated, Acrobat, Java, DivX, etc.
Thanks again.

Cannot install Flash Player for Firefox

I am running Windows XP HE with SP4. IE and the latest version of Firefox are installed.
In both IE and Firefox, on attempting to install Flash Player with the standard link, I get an error message in a small window opens, title "getPlus+(R): Error," text "Unable to load a GUI," "OK" box. I got around this by locating a standalone installation for IE, which downloaded an installation file to my computer. However, this does not work in Firefox, even when obtaining access to that link from Firefox. The file executes, but Flash Player still shows as not installed in Firefox.
I cannot find any separate standalone installer for Flash Player for Firefox.
This error message appears to be generated by the Adobe Installer, a getPlus product. My thought was to uninstall the Adobe Installer, and try to start over. However, the Adobe Installer shows up in the list of installed programs reached through Control Panel, BUT clicking the button to uninstall the program does nothing. The program remains listed. I cannot find a location for the Adobe Installer program on my disk drive.

As I said in my first message, Adobe DLM appears in the "Add/Remove Programs" dialogue box, but clicking the Remove button doesn't do anything. The screen flickers for a couple of seconds, and Adobe DLM remains listed as an installed program. There is no installed program listed under the description getPlus or NOS.
I found useful information at http://www.findmysoft.com/news/Patch-to-Fix-Critical-Adobe-Download-Manager-Vulnerability- Released/ . Not to put too fine a point on it, information at various locations shows that the DLM has been a troublesome program.
IE did not list Adobe DLM, getPlus, or NOS as an addon. Firefox listed "getPlusPlus for Adobe 16263" as a plugin. There was not other extension or plugin listed under Adobe DLM, getPlus, or NOS.
Based on the information at the link cited above, I tried the following. First, in Firefox, I disabled the getPlusPlus for Adobe 16263 plugin. Removing it was not an option. First, using services.msc, I disabled the getPlus Helper service. Removing it was not an option. Third, I deleted the directory c:\Program Files\NOS and its subtree. I did not find anything relevant in the Application Data directories.
I then went to the link on the Adobe Web site to install Flash Player. (I know, it's already installed, but I wanted to see if the DLM would now function.) This time, the first thing that happened upon clicking the link to install it was that the site completed a new installation of DLM. However, on proceeding to the installation of Flash Player itself, I got the same error message noted above, "A GUI could not be loaded." So nothing changed. Opening services.msc again, I noted that the getPlus Helper service had been reinstalled, and was no longer disabled. The c:\Program Files\NOS directory had been recreated. I tried manually starting the getPlus Helper service, and trying the installation again through the Adobe Web site. Same result, no help. And note that DLM is not being cleaned up automatically as part of this process, as is supposed to happen.
I'm thinking that a previous installation of DLM left behind some corrupted relic that is preventing it from running properly. Very likely an incorrect registry entry. But good luck finding that one without help.
NOS Micro has a link to "Contact Our Support Team" at http://www.nosltd.com/index.php/support . Maybe as a last resort see if they would respond? Note that I can't locate a way to get support from Adobe except by paying $39.95 per incident for telephone support.
Thanks!

Flash Player crashing Firefox

Hello,
Last week i keep having issues with Adobe Flash player crashing Firefox.
Each time i visit a site that uses Flash i get the well known error message saying that Adobe Flash player has crashed.
I use Windows 8.1 x64
The latest Firefox version (33.0.2)
The latest Flash player
I have tried setting ProtectedMode to 0 & disabling hardware acceleration. Both methods didnt work for me.
Also i uninstalled Flash using Adobe's uninstaller and reinstalling the latest Flash version which didn't work either.
Any help is greatly appreciated because this is getting very frustrating. I never had any problems with Flash before untill this week.
I haven't installed or made any hard -/ software changes either.

First, please return Flash Player to the standard configuration. Disabling ProtectedMode leaves you far more vulnerable to malware than you would be otherwise. If disabling hardware acceleration didn't resolve the issue, then you can enable it again.
First things first, from the Firefox menu, choose Help > Restart with Add-Ons Disabled. Do you continue to see the stability problem? If not, then we should look at what other plug-ins you have installed to see if they're causing compatibility issues. Likely candidates would be ad blockers and "download flash video" plug-ins.
If the crashes persist, go to about:crashes in the Firefox address bar. Click the first few links to submit the crash reports to Mozilla, then copy the resulting links to a response here.
Thanks!

Cannot install Flash Player in Firefox

Windows Vista 32 bit
Firefox 3.6.8
I have been trying for days to install the latest version of Flash Player for Firefox but keep going round in circles.
I download the Download Manager which then prompts me to restart Firefox.
When I do, the Download Manager starts but I then get a screen telling me that in order to use a proxy I need to enter an address and a port. I am not using a proxy. If I click OK the screen reappears. If I click cancel the downlaod is cancelled.
I have tried uninstalling previous versions, but this makes no difference.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Don't use the download manager; download the installer directly from

HT202681 Is Flash Player only for Safari? Do I need Flash Player for Firefox?

Is Flash Player only for Safari? Do I need Flash Player for Firefox?

A Flash tip to help avoid security issues later: There are known scammer who fake a "Flash is out of date" pop-up that leads you to a site that installs malware or can compromise your private data. If you see a pop-up in FF saying you need to upgrade Flash, the only safe thing to do is go to this official Adobe site:
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
and follow the downloads instructions there. It will show the currently available version. You can quickly tell what version is on your computer by doing System Preference > Flash Player and selecting the "Updates" tab.
Do NOT choose to update Flash from any pop-up. Here are several articles with more info on the "Fake Flash" issue:
http://www.thesafemac.com/?s=flash&submit=Search
Fake Flash pop-ups commonly contain grammatical or spelling errors. One common one is "Failure to install this update may cause your computer to crush." Using only the official Adobe site I linked plus checking your current version via System Preferences will avoid your having to figure out if a pop-up is fake.

I am sick and tired of Firefox crashing from Adobe Flash player. All support statements say to reinstall and that doesnt solve the problem!

I am sick and tired of your Firefox not supporting Adobe Flash player. Windows explorer no problem it works fine. All of your support statements tell me to reinstall and I've tried that more than once and nothing improves! It is slowing up my computer, and I have a windows folder with 4.8Mb of auto generated crash messages!

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
* see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
'''https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration'''
* disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

I'd like to contact a Flash Player developer about a possible bug...

...in the latest Flash Player add-on.
We provide computer based training for a very large customer base and following the latest Flash Player update, some of our Flash presentations are freezing in Internet Explorer 7, Firefox, and Google Chrome. Internet Explorer 8 does exhibit this problem. Our Flash developer has not been able to identify the cause and I suspect the player contains a bug.
I would be happy to provide both compiled SWF and source files for you to examine.
Thanks

And you have to be a lot more specific about "latest Flash Player".

Error installing Flash Player (for Firefox?)

When trying to install the latest Flash player (10.3) on my Windows XP machine, I get the error "The procedure entry point CM_Get_DevNode_Status_Ex could not be located in the dynamic link library SETUPAPI.dll"
I hit OK and it continues.
Now I have the Flash player working in Google Chrome, but it will not work in Firefox.
HELP??!!

It sounds like you have a corrupted setupapi.dll on your system. What files do you have in your C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash folder? I'd recommend downloading and running the free version of Malwarebytes. Once your system checks out clean, you might want to take a look at this page for solutions on getting a valid copy of that dll back in place:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/setupapi-dll-not-found-missing-error.ht m
In particular, I'd check out the sfc /scannow command.

Flash Player lags Firefox but doesn't when I disable Shockwave Flash Plugin

On certain websites with Flash based web players my whole of Firefox lags like crazy. I have been trying to fix this issue for a while to no avail (Tried resetting, re-installing, etc.) It mostly happens when I move my cursor over the Flash player. After I move my cursor so somewhere else on the webpage (a non-Flash part) it start flickering between the default cursor and pointer (clicking finger icon)
Now today I decide to uninstall the Flash application from my PC and reinstall it. After I uninstalled the Flash player suddenly I have no stuttering issues on Firefox anymore! But of course some other Flash related application do not work anymore.
When I re-install the Flash player it goes back to stuttering and lagging. When I disable the Flash player plugin in about:addons the stuttering is gone.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. It has been bugging me for so long now that I have to use Chrome to visit certain websites...

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

I'm only getting one quarter of a screen on Flash Player on Firefox.

Only the upper left quadrant of the Flash Player screen has content. The rest of the screen is either blank or the original static image. This occurs on YouTube and any website that has Flash Player content. Computer is a Macbook Pro Retina using OSX 10.8.4. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player (twice) and uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. The problem doesn't occur when I'm using Safari.

The below bug wasn't the relevant one. The correct bug is: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=903296 903296 – With hardware acceleration off, Flash displayed only in the top left quarter on Mac OSX].
'''''Earlier Post:'''''
This has been submitted to the bug tracking system this morning: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=907792 907792 – Embedded YouTube videos only display 1/4 of the video on Retina MBP/OSX].
A note regarding the bug tracking system: If forum members can contribute to the development, please feel free to pitch in. Otherwise, it's generally not helpful to add comments to bugs (unless there is a call for test cases), but you can register on the Bugzilla site and "vote" for them to be fixed. See:
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html Bugzilla Etiquette]
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=voting.html Voting]
The first comment in the bug reports:
<blockquote>If I disable HiDPI support by setting the gfx.hidpi.enabled pref to -1, then the embedded videos are displayed correctly.</blockquote>
If you want to try this, the steps are:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''gfx''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''gfx.hidpi.enabled''' and edit the value from 1 to 0 or lower (e.g., -1). I don't know whether this works immediately or you need to exit and restart Firefox in order to see the effect.
According to a comment in the source code, these are the possible values for that preference (must be a whole number with no decimal):
// gfx.hidpi.enabled is an integer with the meaning:
// <= 0 : HiDPI support is disabled
// 1 : HiDPI enabled provided all screens have the same backing resolution
// > 1 : HiDPI enabled even if there are a mixture of screen modes

I have installed Flash player in Firefox, now how do I use it. Need to use for a simulation class assignment. Thank you

How to use in Firefox, install is ok.

Hi,
Adobe Flash Player is a plugin that allows browsers such as Firefox to display Flash media on web pages.
Open your simulation in web browser, if there is any flash content , it will display in that.
I hope, I was able to answer your question if not then please provide some more information on this.
Regards,
Devendra
