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

  • Unable to install the latest flash player for Firefox on a 64 bit Windows Vista OS

    Each time I attempt to install the following error pops up:
    Note:Flash Player does not support 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Vista.
    Before today I've never had issues with installing flash updates. Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Vista x64 is unsupported and untested, however the installer shouldn't block you as far as I know.  Can you tell me what the file name is that you are trying to install?
    Unless you're using a 64 bit browser, you should be able to install the 32 bit version of Flash Player which you can find here.

    how can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop?

    For Internet Explorer, you don't. Microsoft has already done it.
    For Firefox, Opera or Safari, use the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    For Chrome, you don't need to wither because Google puts it in the browser.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Flash player for firefox

    t downloads fine,but when i try to install i get failed to initialize. WHY?

    I have a similar problem regarding flash player (newest version - 11.1.102.55) for firefox/safari on MacOS 10.6:
    It downloads fine, but when I try to open it, there is an error: Image could not be opened, Image data is damaged.
    I have downloaded it several times from the adobe downloads page, I have uninstalled the old version, I have deactivated popupblocker and sophos antivir-software and so on. I even tried to test / repair the image with the disk-utility-program of MacOS. The test said everything ok, but repairing it was not possible (not able to open again). curious file.
    I have the same problem with an other program that I downloaded recently, but old dmgs that I downloaded earlier are no problem.. Perhaps it's also a problem with my computer, but at first glance it seems to be a problem with the file. Perhaps could you also tell me the exact size the file should have? Or should I try an other, older version?

  • 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.

  • How do I install Flash Player for Firefox on Windows 8?

    I installed Windows 8 today on my Intel Core i3 6GB RAM 64-bit machine, and cannot get Firefox 18.0.1 to run Flash.
    I kept getting "PlayerPlugin_11_5_502_146.exe" memory errors.
    I've gone to http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html and tried the 11.6 Beta releases offered to no avail - although the error changed to "PlayerPlugin_11_5_602_146.exe".
    Help? (But, please be gentle - I might be a "5" on the "PC Tech Competency Scale to 10".)

  • Cant install flash player for firefox and steam

    hi
    as i stated in the topic i cant seem to install flashplayer for those 2.
    just to give you all a general information i have a core i5 760 cpu on asus p7p55d-e pro motherboard with 4gb of memory and gtx 480 as my system. when i used internet explorer flash was working properly it also works properly in google chrome but it doesnt play movies in steam client leaving a message in the middle that i need the latest version and i cant seem to install firefox plugin anyway too it redirects me to do it manualy and thats where problems start.
    when i go to flash website from ie or chrome it shows i have the latest version available installed but it doestn work with steam and firefox.
    what i noticed is when i download the latest version of flashplayer installer for windows 7 64bit either for ie or for other browsers and try to install it including running it as administrator the installer doesnt do anything that leads to install . what i have noticed is after i confirm in windows that i want to install it i get this little circle as my cursor for about 1 min randomly showing up and turning into normal pointer on top of that when i turned on task manager to see why is that happening i noticed that flash installer starts in services  tab one two or even three times at a time and closes itself to do it again one or 2 and one again. also noticed it showes few coppies of flash installer that appear in that time in my temp directory on disc C with weird names like quote:
    "install_flashplayer11x64ax_aih_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_ 1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_ 1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1"
    all in all im not so much bothered about firefox as i dont use it anymore but i wish i could install flash for steam
    does anyone knows solution to my little problem ?
    p.s i tried ussing that flash installer in windows safe mode with no positive result.

  • Flash Player for Firefox 24 not working, I believe install directory changes have something to do with it (linux).

    I have just installed firefox 24 under debian (wheezy) and am having issues trying to get most things flash to run. Oddly enough Youtube seems to work, it tells me to install the plug-in initially then loads the video up anyway. Firefox throws a pop-up telling me I need to install a plug-in in order to view the content (on youtube, which videos play anyways). Other sites simply don't display the videos. Adobe's site doesn't display their little animation.
    My firefox is installed in /opt/firefox
    I also have two other directories which I believe are where the plugins may have been installed to.
    /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
    -flash-mozilla.so
    /usr/lib64/flash-plugin
    -homecleanup
    -libflashplayer.so
    -license
    -readme
    -setup
    I ran about:config and altered the following from false to true
    plugins.load_appdir_plugins = true

    Make sure that you have 32 bit versions of the plugins if you use a 32 bit Firefox version.
