Flash Player - NO Video in Firefox on OS X

I updated Flash Player for Firefox and can no longer play any video. The audio portion works but the video screen is black.
I have Firefox 3.6.4, OS X 10.6.3, and Firefox shows 10.1.53.64 or 10.1 r53 of Shockwave Flash Player.
Shockwave Flash Player 10.1 r53, is installed on Safari and working properly.

I ran Shockwave Uninstaller, and installed version 11.5.7.609 . Video is playing now in both Firefox and Safari.

Flash player games, video, or audio don't work / Windows

I have been having issues with my flash player for about a week. I tried all the trouble shooting steps under flash player games, video, or audio, but the issue kept occurring. I successfully uninstalled the flash player, then reinstalled it, the issue keeps occurring, so I followed the trouble shooting steps again, and it keeps occuring. For example, I will be watching a video, then it will spontaneously restart, jump to the end, image distortion, or freeze and the flash player stops responding et cetera. I think it might be what is causing an update error on a game that I play as well, where the game launcher is unable to decrypt and deserialize the download content from the server, or maybe something else is causing the flash player, and the game launcher to have these issues. Hopefully someone has some useful tips to resolve this issue that I haven't tried yet. Thank you for your time.

Why so I keep getting 'blocked-plug in' message! Very frustrating. Never happened before. related to Adobe Flash Player for videos. Have deleted Adobe and put the new Adobe on, but still get message. Seems others have had this same problem.

So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use." I uninstalled it and followed all the suggestions on the websites nothing is working. I even uninstall google chrome thinking it was the problem but I'm still having that problem so I really don't know what to do because now the only place Flash player is installed seems to be Google chrome that I had to redoawload, but everywhere else tells me that I need to install it.

Na flash update van 12-06-2012 werkt de flash player niet meer in firefox, iemand een oplossing?

Na flash update van 12-06-2012 werkt de flash player niet meer in firefox, bij het googlen merk ik dat dit een veel voorkomend probleem is vandaag, maar nog geen oplossing gevonden. Kan iemand mij helpen?

Hi guys - for me this helped.
If Flash player is working in IE, then:
Close Firefox - open Internet Explorer - got to the Adobe Flash Player Site:
http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/
In IE you can see there is the 64-bit version - (in Firefox there was just the 32-bit version) - got to: (others)
http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/otherversions/
choose your system and version
download it via internet explorer and install the adobe flash player
restart firefox and it should work.
helped me after wasting one day of my life to find a solution, alle sites work just fine now.
hope this helps.

Flash player plays videos slow and jumpy. Have to put on pause and wait for it to load.

Since the new Flash Player release, videos on Youtube, CNN, FOX will start to load then do a buffering, then play a little more, stop again.
When I hit on pause and let it load fully, it is the only way I can watch the video.
Unless it is a video I really want to watch, the effort takes to long.
It started with the new release of Flash Play on both my desktop with windows XP and new laptop with Windows 7.
I have spent days reviewing this forum and tried all your suggestions.
Are there any new suggestions besides all those that have already been given or do we have to just wait for a new release of Flash Player
to take care of all these bugs that I have been reading that others also have?

Hi eidnolg,
I have great news on my end for this problem.
Researching another solution all started with the email that I received from adninjastrator ( [email protected])
about it might be something with my internet server and HiDef videos.
I phoned Qwest help line and they told me my speeds coming in for okay.
Then I sent a email to a Qwest online tech and explained how it all started about the time of the flash player update on both of my computers.
I told them about all my trouble shooting on your forum.
Within 2 hours of my email, I got a reply back from the Qwest tech.
Quote from Qwest internet provider, email response:
I understand you are having concerns about your speed.
I have spoken to an engineer and we have made some changes.
You should see immediate results.
I went to Youtube, CNN and FOX and they all worked. Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know what programming problem that they fixed, but it worked.
Thanks to adninjastrator for getting me started on checking with my internet server provider.
Thank you eidnolg for all your suggestions for solving this issue.
It was also a learning process for me, doing research on checking for computer problems.

Just updated Firefox, then updated Adobe Flash player and videos and voice are all choppy. Please help.

I allowed Firefox to update. It prompted that I may need to update my adobe player. I checked my aol account and tryed to watch a video and it would not work. I updated my Adobe flash player, shut down my pc then went back online to check out a video and it was all choppy including the audio.

Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

I have an AMD64 Dual Processor and I am trying to load a 64 bit version of Flash Player Plug-in for FireFox but it does not appear to be working. Do you have any suggestions?

I downloaded flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_plugin_111710.exe from the Adobe website and ran the .exe I opened Firefox and attempted to view some clips from msnbc.com. However, I received the following message:
To watch video in the new msnbc.com player, you will need to update your version of Adobe Flash Player.

UserAgent for the OP is - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100405 Namoroka/3.6.3 - he might be running a 64-bit 3rd party build.

Flash player crashes continuously in Firefox--tried everything

For the past few days Firefox browser videos requiring Flash player do not open but give me the 'crash screen'. It works fine with Internet Explorer because it is built in. I have tried all of the recommended fixes from adobe and and firefox.
I have enabled in firefox
I have disabled all plugins and extensions then tried enabling Flash Player
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash player a few times
I have tried adjusting Flash player settings
'' " deleting FPs cache, etc.
I have not been able to adjust FPs acceleration because it won't open in the support pages.
I have: a newer toshiba Satellite L70 (intel i7)
64bit
windows 8.1
I am stumped!

I too have experienced a problem very similar to this and was hoping to find help here. Another person has experienced a very similar problem, but without response here: Adobe flash player freezes constantly
This all started when I updated to version 16.0.0.305. When I downgrade to version 16.0.0.296, the problem is resolved. However 16.0.0.305 is a bug fix that patches a critical zero day exploit, so I do not want to stick with it for very long.
I hope this is a known issue and Adobe will be releasing a patch for it soon.
Best Regards,
-Stefan

Flash player not running in Firefox, even worse in IE

I can't seem to be able to run the Flash player. If I try to run a video on Adobe TV, I can see a normal video player with the buttons I would expect to see: Pay, Rewind, etc. But nothing happens when I press Play. I tried this same video using IE, but it looks even worse: I see nothing but a white box -- no controls at all.
I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit. I'm using the latest version of Firefox (3.6.11) and the latest version of Flash (10.1.85.3). I almost never use IE, so I don't know whether I have the latest verion or not (8.0.7600).
Suddenly and recently, I'm having an additional problem. I don't know whether it could be related or not, but just in case: I suddenly could not upload a file using Firefox. I could, however, upload the same file using IE. I've checked all my security settings in Windows, Firefox, and McAfee, but can't find anything which would block uploading.
Another bit of info just in case: Windows stealthily installed Windows Live. When I started having the upload problems, I uninstalled Windows Live.
Message was edited by: Rodieck to add additional information.

I've found the problem, and it had noting to do with Flash. All the problems were caused by me: somehow (and for some unknown reason) I had my security software set to block "Firefox Plugin Container" which was needed to run the Flash player. Unblocking this also fixed my Firefox uploading program.
Thanks for your reponse, though, helpful person whose name I cannot read :^) You started me learning more about video players, and that finally caused me to stumble across the right answer.

Capture text in flash player streaming video

is there a program that would be able to capture the text in the steamaing flash player and store it as text file?
thanks

I have the same problem. Its the same issue in Firefox and Chrome but it is fine in IE.
I've already uninstalled all flash aspects, disabled all plugins and removed / re-added firefox.
I get the blue text on certain flash objects and not others. For example. If I try and view the video on this page: http://www.lexus.co.uk/drum-roll/index.aspx
Both the second counter and the Google Ad that drops down is blue and almost unreadabel. But If I go to the YouTube site and watch the same video I dont get the blue. Weird!
Anyone any ideas?

Poor Flash Player Performance in Mozzilla Firefox

Hello!
I have recently noticed that Adobe Flash Player has very bad performance in Mozzilla Firefox. The most common issue is with 4K YouTube videos. I have a GTX 770 graphics card, so there should not be any problem with these videos, and there is not any problem in other browsers. But for some reason, I get very low framerates in Firefox while watching 4K videos. I tried to reinstall Flash Player, but it did not help me. I have the latest stable Nvidia drivers.
What can cause the bad performance?

In all my systems i put that mms.cfg file; regardless of whether crappy flash thinks my GPU is capable or not!

Why doesn't the Adobe Flash Player plugin show in Firefox's "Plugins" window under Mavericks 10.9.3?

My specs are:
Mavericks 10.9.4
Firefox 30.0
Flash Player Plugin 14.0.0.125
The plugin is visually verified to be properly installed in the "Internet Plug-Ins" folder in the main library, and not the user library.

Hello all,
My doubt was correct. It was all due to the blank device list. After lot of struggle I found this solution worked for me:
1. As soon as the plug-in tries to access webcam, it will show you "Adobe Flash Player Settings" box
2. Click Deny then Close to close it
3. Now press tab key on keyboard. It will highlight (in yellow) and show list of devices in video device dropdown control (This could be little bit tricky and you need to put little bit more efforts to see the list). You can now select your webcam as device here.
4. Press Tab key again to go audio dropdown and select audio device.
5. Then right click and bring up "Adobe Flash Player Settings" again.
6. Under Microphone and Camera tabs, make sure we select same devices we selected in 3 & 4 above
7. Come back to privacy tab and this time chose "Allow" and then close "Adobe Flash Player Settings" box
8. You should now see the camera images in the plug-in
Conclusion: This is a workaround worked for me. Plug-in is quite unstable and there is definitely something here Adobe Flash Player plug-in developers need to do about.
Hope this workaround helps many other users.
Thanks,
Struggler
