Flash Player is NOT working in Firefox

I have installed Flash Player recently on Windows 7. It is working properly i.e. playing vidoes on IE & Chrome but not in Firefox. I have updated both Flash Player & Firefox but it is still not playing any videos. Please solve this for me.

Probably not adobe related. I've posted another question as I think the issue is just with one particular web site.
I've refreshed, uninstalled/reinstalled firefox and plugins twice.

Adobe flash player does not work on Firefox, but does on Wind Exp

I have reinstalled Adobe Flash Player many times and also reinstalled Firefox, but flash player does not work. Every tim I try to play something it tells me to install the latest version of flash player. Flash player works fine on on Windows Explorer

IE uses a different version of Flash (ActiveX) than other browsers use, you need to install the Plugin version of Flash.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

Flash Player Check Not Working In Firefox?

Hello,
As of today, checking my Flash Player version on the Flash Player Help page gives me this: http://i.imgur.com/fTRMR4l.png, when it would usually tell me if my version was up to date, and what version I have.
The Shockwave Help page works just fine, and the Flash Player Help page works fine in Chrome.
I have tried resetting Firefox, updating Firefox, and using Firefox in Safe Mode, with no fix. So what's going on?

@Gnospen
Took a look at my about:addons page to see if it was set on "Ask to Activate", and it wasn't set to that. It was set on "Always Activate", as you can see here: http://i.imgur.com/tAmvj36.png
Am I looking on the correct page, or is there another page I should be looking at?

Flash player 10 Not working with firefox Please Help

I have posted here before and for some reason flash player is still not working. I haven't been able to get on any of my fb games because of this. When I go to
play any games it loads the pic then it fades to a white screen, when Ieft click on the mouse it shows a grey box that states Movie not loaded or Adobe flash player 10.
Here is some of the files from my Macromedia
FlashInstall
flashplayer.xpt
FlashUtil10l_Plugin
NPSWF32.dll
FlashUtil10k_ActiveX.dll
If you have any suggestion please help it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if you will receive this, Tonyae, but my ability to reply in
that thread appears to have been disabled. It says below that I can reply
to this email and you will get it so hopefully that's true.
I don't know how or why, but things are working again for me. I uninstalled
/ reinstalled Firefox and Flash countless times. I disabled Java, which
someone had suggested in another thread. Nothing was working. I had
restarted Firefox after every installation, but all of my attempts were
futile. Finally, I restarted my laptop and it worked - I can finally watch
videos on my computer again. (I know I should have tried that much earlier
in the process.) Very relieving to say the least. I'm sorry you're still
having trouble because I know how frustrating it was.
If you receive this, I know I haven't offered much but I would highly
recommend restarting your computer after every change you make. Keep
plugging away and one of them will hopefully work. Good luck!

Test Flash Player animation not working in Firefox

Flash demos at the following link are not working for me on Firefox, but work fine in Chrome & Safari: Adobe - Flash Player
I have also gotten an error on Tumblr that Flash wasn't installed. I tested it in safe-mode, when 33.02 was the latest as this is an old problem, & also tested with the latest release version 34.0.5.
This screenshot shows what i see on the Adobe Flash test page - just this dark red color fill, no animation: http://oi61.tinypic.com/2r5ten6.jpg
(Same exact image/animation with Flash 16.0.0.235)
on Chrome/Safari i see this in an animation: http://oi62.tinypic.com/2qdsm13.jpg
i tried uninstalling Flash using these instructions, rebooted, reinstalled, and no change:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html

yup, you're right. i just installed Firefox for the first time on an old laptop and the test animation plays fine. I did test it in safe mode though, which disables add-ons and the problem still happened, so it must be a lower level issue. this is probably causing other problems with Flash for me all over the web. i'll try the uninstall/reinstall first when i have a chance. hopefully that works. if not, then i guess i'll have to create a new profile.
thanks

Flash player does not work with Ie or Firefox with win 8.1?

Flash player does not work with Ie or Firefox with win 8.1 64, If i try and play a video I get the message to install Flashplayer.
If I try and install it it says it is already installed. Your onsite installer says it is not applicable to my machine.
I have followed all the normal steps re enabling addons and active filters etc.
all to no avail Pc is Dell 6 months old, Flashplayer has never worked on this machine. Last MS update mid Dec 2014.
Version of flashplayer is 15....03.......

Flash Player is a built-in component of Internet Explorer. There's nothing separate to download or install.
Firefox requires a different version of Flash Player (the NPAPI plug-in), which will be served to you if you go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Firefox; however, there are some unique stability issues related to Firefox on Win8.1, and you're probably better off using Google Chrome if you want a more optimal experience with Flash Player.
For problems where IE isn't being detected by sites that require Flash:
First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

Flash Player does not work after steps to resolution

I am using Windows 8.1 and flash player will not work. I have "enabled" and removed Active X control as per instructions but it still does not work.

8.1 means Ie11... and that means...
"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Flash player does not work with new ICS Android 4.0.4 OS. Has this problem been addressed?

Flash player does not work with new ICS Android 4.0.4 OS. Has this problem been addressed? I am using Firefox Beta for android and I also tried just Firefox.

Please check the Play Store app for any Flash updates and install them if present.

Flash Player is not working on any browser in Windows 8

Flash Player is not Working on internet explorer, or chrome, or firefox...
I have tryed some processes that I have found in this and other forums like not filtering activex, changing internet options, deleting browser data, deleting flash saved data, uninstalling flash, re-installing flash...
uninstalling browsers, reinstalling, uninstalled the antivirus, re-installed it, installed another, disabiling it, nothing works.
When you enter a site using flash, such as youtube, every browser shows the control but not the video, then crashes and shows a message indicatin that flash is not responding, and sometimes saying that a script is not responding either...

Also, I'd appreciate some more detailed information on your system.
Open a command line, and type the following:
dxdiag
Hit enter, and it will launch the DirectX diagnostic tool.
Choose Save All Information and choose a location. Open it with a text editor and just copy the contents to a reply here.

Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, uninstall, & reinstall

I have problems with Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, then uninstall, & re-install.
I uninstalled the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player from my computer PRIOR to attempting to install the new 11 version, so now I'm unable to view videos, etc.,
I'm using Windows Vista 32 bit, Internet Explorer 9.0 (which I closed when I got error messages during Adobe Flash Player 11 Installation. I've disabled my AVG -Virus also during the installation of Flash Player 11.
FYI, I'm not computer savvy so the YouTube video by Adobe Tech was too complicated to follow AND I'm unable to view (DUH!) it since I have no Flash Player program installed (doesn't make sense!) .
Thanks for keeping it simple (KISS for me).

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling some 30 times now ..rebooting, you name it.
I haven't been able to use flash since Adobe kindly shoved that latest update down my computer's throat.
Right after getting the 'successful' installation message I restart IE9 ..go to my channel on youtube and immediately get the message:
The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
Get the latest Flash Player
I tried Chrome and on two or three it worked but then even after closing out of them ..Chrome slowed down to a crawl and finally informed me that Flash had stopped working.
This has entirely wasted 3 nights of my time. It is 2:30 am and I should have had at least 2hours sleep already to rise at 6:30 but no, thanks this I'm still up and no doubt millions of other computer users are having just as much fun.. Everyone I know that allowed the updates to install ..is having the same problem ..Chrome/IE9/Firefox ...you can truly call it Adobe's Universal Cluster ...
I live with Adobe. At work we have 6 fully Adobied LR4/CS5 & 6/InDesign workstations. I'm a photographer using nothing but Adobe products and quite frankly I feel this is the worst treatment you have ever given your customers.
Please stop the CYA and just fix the damm thing! I realize you didn't write it Chris but surely you can get Adobe management to address this instead of just trying to get their users to try and debug it for the airheads that released it. Has anyone stopped to consider the financial damage being done due to videos not playing the ads that support the sites and no doubt stream revenue to Adobe? These guys have rolled the online experience back 5 years minimum and Adobe will probably pay the price for it. Re-issue a working version and go back to the drawing board!

Flash player is not working whenever I switch to airport connection

The flash player is not working in both Safari and firefox, when I switch the internet connection to the airport (WiFi), but the Ethernet connection is working fine with flash player.
reinstall of Mac os x 10.6 --> not working
repair disk and permission from DVD ---> not working
I have now. First I ran repair permissions with Disk utility, got some promising repair stuff like
18.4.2008 14.52.55 Disk Utility282 User differs on "Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/Resources/Flash Player.rsrc", should be 0,
user is 501.
Any further ideas? Or tips on how I could try debugging this? Console gives me squat.

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Youtube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]

Flash player still not working after following all discussion advice

Requested information: I have Internet explorer 9/ using 32 bit on 64 bit computer/windows 7/flash player 10.2 version
I contracted what my husband called a "rider" virus when I opened a knitting pattern of all things and if I understood it correctly was one of the anti-malware viruses talked about. My husband was able to remove the virus but like others have said here, my flash player will not work. My computer is only 3 months old!
Here is what we have done:
1: First removed all flash player and shock wave
2: I have run a full scan with my Mcafee program, then ran a full scan and quick scan too with my malwarebytes program. Everything in both is now clean. I then rebooted (I also even tried doing all of this in safe mode too with nothing changing)
3: came online and read a bazillion threads about others problems and tried every suggestion pretty much including those below
4: husband checked the kill bit (d27 thingy) and it was not there
5: reinstalled flash player and shock after running the scans and though they show up in my programs when I looked at the add ons as suggest to others the
neither shockwave or Flash Object was there
6: uninstalled everything again
So now I am back to where I started with nothing installed because I still have an issue and we don't know what it is. I truly appreciate your help in any way as it is frustrating that none of the other suggestions have helped.
this may not as my grandma used to say have anything to do with the price of rice in china, but we do keep getting a short freeze up on the computer followed by a message that the display driver stopped responding and recovered then it works again, but it does happen fairly frequently and this has been since the virus. I am showing everything is clean though with regards to virus scans and malware spyware scans.

Just when I thought I would finally find the answer you sent a message offline, which didn't help me a bit.
I have the same problem. My wife got a virus and I was able to uninstall it by poking around. After killing the virus IE would not run. I found some messages on the internet which enabled me to solve that problem by making some registry changes. However, I still have not been able to get IE to run flash. I do have it running in FireFox.
What was the step that you sent in private email that enabled him top solve the problem?
Thanks

Flash player stop to work with Firefox

Ok it’s just killing me!! Flash player stop to work
with Firefox
All my web site users including me have this problem and I
guess all the millions of mozilla users
When you press play it’s not working or it’s no
sound
What solve the problem is to download oldest Flash-Player
Please fix it as fast as you can.
Thanks.

Thanks for the assistance Chris. I tried the 11.7 option without success. I downloaded the 11.7 file, I closed all browsers, used the flashplayer uninstaller, restarted the CPU, installed the 11.7 (with auto updates disabled). Restarted Firefox, tested a Flickr video, same "no-play" results.
However, after doing the same thing and downloading the Archive version http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.75_archive.z ip I was able to play the Flickr videos! WooHoo.
I completed the update process to the latest version, and now the videos play properly with the latest version!
Not sure what the bad actor was, the 11.7 version did not fix it, but the older 10.3 version did!
Thanks to all for the assistance with this pain in the arse issue.

Flash player doesn't work on firefox even when reinstalling

The flash player is not working on many sites and this issue is only happening on firefox. Every time I go to youtube, I would have to click play and nothing but an error shows up. I have to use chrome to use youtube. I already deleted firefox and reinstalled firefox but nothing works even when I reinstalled flash player.
