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.

Flash Player not working on Firefox, playing everything low quality on Chrome

Running Windows 7 64-bit
I was using Firefox and starting to watch a video on YouTube, and set it to 720p fullscreen. However, I noticed that the video was oddly low quality for 720p, and then I looked at the YouTube player bar and saw that even that was fuzzy and low quality. I tried to update to the latest version of Flash Player - the first time I got an error, but it seemed to install fine afterwards. I started up Firefox again and nothing using flash was working. Websites told me to install Flash Player. I am aware that this is a known issue, but I tried using Chrome instead and Flash Player worked just fine on that, except it was still low quality. I can't seem to find an option to change to high quality, and it still isn't working on Firefox. Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same problem today as far as updating flash player.
I went here:

and downloaded the FULL version of 11.2.202.233 and installed flashplayer11_2r202_233_win_64bit.msi and everything is working fine now it is a large file.
What you've downloaded there is not the full version, but a Debugger. The full version can be downloaded from here and is only 4,403KB: Download standalone Flash Player installer

Flash Player not working in Firefox

Suddenly Firefox will not play flash player content called
when I play games online. It worked fine a few days ago.
When I click on the link, it opens the game page, but where
the game should appear, I see a blank black box. When I click on
the "Play online game" link I also get a large empty black box.
I am running Windows XP on an HP Pavilion ze2315us laptop. I
recently installed trial version of Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro.
In efforts to fix the problem I tried the following:
Removed adblocker addresses that might conflict.
Checked blocked sites
Removed and reinstalled Flash Player.
Reinstalled Firefox.
Set folder options to use Firefox to open SWF files
All to no avail.
I tried the web site in IE. Had to download and install Flash
Player again but it works fine in IE.
Afterwards, it still did not work in Firefox.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
I have a similar problem in Linux Fedora 16.
I have installed adobe flash-plugin 11.2.202.233
In Google Chrome I can see flash applications very well.
But in Firefox 11.0 flash does not work.
When I look in about:plugins I see:
Shockwave Flash

Please, in which OS did you worked?
In the past I with other versions, it did work without any problem.
Perhaps I can look if I have firewall is turned on?
Thanks in advance for any answer,

Flash Player not running/installing

So far, on two computers, I have had this problem.
I have no problem downloading the software, I even installed it on two computers.
However, when I go to install it on a few computers in my work environment, it will ask to run and not run. I sat for ten minutes waiting for it to run and it wouldn't. Both are XP's, sp3, 1GB, IE8.
Does anyone have any idea's?

Flash player not working with Firefox 5

Hi all:
I have been having problems with my Firefox 5 (also was happening with 4) and the Flash Player (newest and previous versions also). Basically, whenever I open a page with flash content, Firefox gets frozen and "not responding" appears on the top bar.After some time, it comes back
I've tried reinstalling Firefox and Flash Player (also formatting laptop - Windows 7) and this is still happening.
Any ideas?
Thanks
W.

You might as well stop wasting your time. The problem seems to be centered around FireFox (since Adobe Flash seems to work fine with IE and Chrome). After FireFox begin running Flash as a separate process, it no longer retains preset volume settings for Flash, instead, each new FireFox window resets it to max volume. As a result, several times I've had my ears blasted (this can lead to hearing loss and/or damaged audio equipment). This only happens with newer versions of Flash. Consequently, I no longer use the latest versions in FireFox. I'm thinking about totally dropping FireFox and moving completely to Chrome. Looks like neither Adobe or FireFox are gonna budge to fix the problem.

FLASH PLAYER NOT RUNNING ON SECURED COMPUTER

I
believe my problem is similar to the one described here.
We are running Windows Server 2003 with thin clients that RDP
into the server. I have the latest version of Flash player
installed on the server. I have administrative priviledges and I
have no problems but for a secure user they get a message that the
website requires the latest version of flash player. We have many
websites we need to visit that have flash content and we can't. I
assume that it is related to one of two things: 1) Flash player
won't function without administrative priviledges [which would be
absolutely stupid on Adobe's part if this is the case] or 2) there
is a GPO setting preventing it from functioning. I think the latter
is the correct problem. I am not farmiliar enough with the way
Flash player operates so I need a little guidance finding the
correct GPO - any ideas anyone?

When I open Task Manager the only thing I see is "Tasks". I do not see the Processes tab. I have seen this in the past along with measures of other activity, but not anything now. I tried the Start/Search - nothing about Processes.
Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab. On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.

Flash player not installing on Firefox or Internet explorer...

I downloaded firefox as my alternate web browser. I play games and things of the like on my laptop, which is a Toshiba Satellite C655 (I'm pretty sure it is ). My flash player works on Google Chrome, but not on Internet Explorer or FireFox. Any help? I've downloaded it (or so it says) 4 times since Sunday night, but everytime I go to play the game, the game says I need to install adobe flashplayer. And this is multiple games so it isn't the game.

Yes, I have downloaded and installed it. My windows version is Windows 7, I don't know what you mean by edition hmm, do you think it's the ActiveX thing people have been having trouble with? It is in those two folders. these are what are in the folder:
       C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
          Flash64_11_2_202_233.ocx
          FlashInstall
          FlashUtil64_11_2_202_233_ActiveX.dll
          FlashUtil64_11_2_202_233_ActiveX
          FlashUtil64_11_2_202_233_Plugin
          NPSWF64_11_2_202_233.dll
    C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash
          FlashInstall
          Flash32_11_2_202_233.ocx
          flashplayer.xpt
          FlashPlayerUpdateService
          FlashUtil32_11_2_202_233_ActiveX.dll
          FlashUtil32_11_2_202_233_ActiveX
          FlashUtil32_11_2_202_233_Plugin
          mms.cfg
          NPSWF32_11_2_202_233.dll
          FlashPlayerTrust(folder):
               Bandoo.cfg
If that makes any sense to you, and I hope I did it right, then can you tell me what the problem is?

Flash player not run with Safari 5.0.4

Hi Friends:
Two days ago, I installed an upgrade of Safari to 5.0.4 (6533.20.27); since this upgrade, any web page that use flash player is not working, instead of the images appears a message "module not found" and in web pages like Facebook or Youtube, if you try to run video, the system show a message "It's necessary to update flash player".
I uninstalled flash player and installed it again using the last version provided by adobe ( 10.2.152.33 ) but after that the answer is the same.
Any Ideas?

Hi friends:
I just find the problem and the solution.
The problem is not Safari 5.0.4 in fact, the problem is that (I think) we installed at the same time the safari update and the java update; the java update installed a plug-in that interfere with the other ones in safari.
you could solve the problem doing two things, one is left your java version in the near before the last one (it´s necessary to install OSX again) or move out the file JavaPluginCocoa.bundle located in HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
I prefer the first solution because I'm using SAPGui for java too and it´s not compatible with the las java version too.

Flash player not working in Firefox with YouTube

Help! Every since I updated to the latest version of Firefox I can no longer play any videos on YouTube - they hang and stall every few seconds and some never load at all. I have the latest version of Flash, have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, have clicked and unclicked the Global Settings options, have run Firefox in safe mode with extensions off and just Flash running and it still doesn't work. I am on a Mac running OS 10.4.11. What else can I do?

That's wierd, Adobe TV videos are much higher def than YouTube... so I have a pretty opposite behaviour at times at my end.
Could you try clicking something in the middle of the YouTube video progressbar, if the video jumps to that part and continues. Share results of that as well.

Adobe Flash Player/Shockwave is not running on FireFox... does not run in Youtube, or other video sites.

Hmmm... this morning I was watching youtube videos.. and I noticed a little lag. Really minor... but thought that shouldn't be happening.? So decided to see if I could fix it. Not sure what I did or if I did anything to cause this? I really don't think so. Maybe firefox.exe -p?? Was working fine up until today?
I've read a bunch of the forums and tried a bunch of stuff but still no go. When I disable protected mode it works fine, but I want protected mode to be enabled so that I'm... well... 'protected!'
I've uninstalled FireFox and Flash Player and reinstalled numerous times but still same thing.
I'm running Windows 8.1, with most recent Flash and FireFox. My computer is an i7 4700HQ 2.4 Ghz, 12 GB Ram etc... its a 6 month laptop.
Anyone know what the issue is? I've never experienced anything like it? I've ran Malaware bytes.. didn't find anything. Ran AVG and found one threat... I think it was the Crack threat (cockos??) does that ring a bell...? came from a torrent. That issue has been healed now tho.. not sure if they are related??
Also ran a disc cleanup and it took about 5 minutes... doesn't usually take that long but its all clean now. Deleted a bunch of debug dump files... again, not sure if that's related??
Here are a few of the crash error logs I've gotten recently:
bp-7e266393-2fd8-447c-8a0e-7299b2150426 2015-04-26 12:32 AM

bp-7d9929e7-42df-425b-a549-b4aa42150426 2015-04-25 9:13 PM
Anyways, I would like to still use Flash but its killing me right now trying to figure out whats going on. Would really appreciate some help/advice. Let me know if you need more info.
Cheers!

Some background information about the Adobe Flash Protected Mode for '''''christ1'''.
http://blogs.adobe.com/security/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 that you have is a relatively low end graphics card and low end for on-board graphics chips, whichever you have. ''Unless that is a laptop that switches drivers for "gaming" which puts a lot more load on the hardware and runs the battery out a lot faster.'' Technically the HD 4600 ''should'' be enough for web browsing, but Flash is a lot more than simple web browsing.
IMO, if disabling the Flash Protected Mode solves that issue - do that. Or upgrade your hardware, especially if you have a separate Graphics Card ''[vs an on-board chip]'' or can install a better card in a desktop computer.
As far as YouTube videos goes, have you tried using the HTML5 setting for YouTube?
https://www.youtube.com/html5
Make that setting and Google will deliver HTML5 video when it is available for each "clip". From what I have seen ''[I'm not a big user of YouTube, though]'', like maybe 75% of the clips I see are available in HTML5 - ''ymmv''.
BTW, Mozilla is working on eliminating the need for even having to use Flash. They're working a a project which is code-named Shumway to play SWF-format files.
http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/
You can download it from that page, but it is at the early stages of development and needs a lot more work before it is truly usable.
