Flash Player not working with Vista in Firefox

I try to install Flash Player and Firefox allows me to download it, but I have no idea where or if it is saved.  The only place that I can see it is in the download folder.  Will Flash Player 10 work on my computer since I have Vista?  Help please!!

When you download anything, Firefox will give you two pop-ups
Click on 'Save File' here.  Next you will be asked where to save the file to
Navigate to the location where you want to save the file (e.g. My Download Files, or Desktop), and click 'Save'.
When the download is complete, exit Firefox, then run the downloaded file from where you saved it.

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Flash player not working with all programs

    Hi, I'm having trouble with flash player not being recognized by certain player apps... On Facebook when there is a video showing on my newsfeed it just shows three little lines pulsing in the middle but it dosen't play. Now, I can go to the page where the video is and play it but not on my news feed. Also I cannot play Pandora as it tells me I need the latest flash player which I know that I have but it isn't recognizing it. I have uninstalled flash player, reinstalled it .. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it .. I have also refreshed Firefox and it still dosen't work with those particular applications.. I have also gone to plugins and made sure that it shows that it's enabled and all the players are.. I have adobe flash and shockwave installed.. One thing that is curious though is that when I check to see if my flashplayers are updated in my plugins it comes up and tells me that Shockwave is vulnerable and needs to be updated but when I click on it and update it ... It shows that it worked but then it dosen't reflect that in my plugin update... HELP PLZ !! :)

    Thank you so much for your help!!! Most appreciative!!! :)

  • Adobe Flash Player not working with OS X Yosemite

    Since I upgraded to the latest version of Yosemite, flash player will not work with any browsers. The latest version is: 10.10.2 (14C109).

  • Firefox 13 flash player not working with video (white screen)

    I moved to the new 13 version, but there is a white screen where the video is supposed to run. Youtube is also showing an error (not playing video).
    I thought it was the new update to the flash player, but chrome and IE are working fine so it is a firefox thing.

    Hello All,
    I just spent hours figuring out a solution for this problem. THEN I noticed that Firefox had an official "response" to the issue, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-crashes-or-does-not-load-firefox-13 Here] .
    I didn't try any of the 'fixes' listed in the above article, because I'd already lost my patience and reverted back to a previous version of Flash until a proper and official fix becomes available.
    Here are instructions on how to revert back to an old version of the Adobe Flash Plugin.
    ''' I've attached pictures for all of the steps below''', as a visual reference. To be entirely honest, you may want to just look at the pictures. I tend to go into a lot of detail when typing out instructions, and the pictures may be easier to follow. :-D
    '''IMPORTANT :''' First, you must uninstall the current Flash Plugin from the Programs list on your computer. For me (Windows 7), you can do this by going into Control Panel -- Programs and Features -- Find "Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin" in the programs list -- Right Click -- Uninstall.
    Now, follow the steps below. Remember: pictures are attached below for visual representations of each step.
    *'''Step 1:''' You need to know which version of Flash to download. Open [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ THIS LINK] in a new tab to go to the main Flash Download page, and at the top of the screen you'll see this: '''Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.257 (9.36 MB)''', and directly under it, you'll see this: '''Your system: Windows 32-bit , English, Firefox'''. Remember this information. You will be needing it later.
    **'''NOTE:''' That is just a sample. Your system could be Mac, Spanish, whatever. The point is, Adobe will let you know which system you're running, and therefore, which Flash Player you'll need.
    *'''Step 2:''' After you've seen which system you're running, click on the ''''Do you have a different operating system or browser?'''' link directly below your system info.
    *'''Step 3:''' A new page will appear. You DO NOT have to select your operating system or version from the drop down lists. Just look below the "Download Now" button, and you'll see a message saying ''''If your operating system/browser combination is not displayed, ''click here'' for older versions of Adobe Flash Player.'''' Click on that light blue "Click Here" link.
    *'''Step 4:''' A new page will appear again. This page is titled ''''Flash Player Help / Archived Flash Player Versions.'''' When you get to this page, scroll waaay down until you get to the section titled ''''Release and Content Debugger Archives'''', (directly below the chart).
    *'''Step 5:''' Click on any of the listed versions of Flash Player to download. I clicked on the topmost one (Released: 4/13/2012, Version: 11.2.202.233). Download this .zip file to your computer.
    *'''Step 6:''' Open the .zip file, and install this version of Flash Player as usual. Again, I'm running Windows 7 32 bit, so from here on out, I can only provide instructions for similar Operating Systems. But I'm sure you'll get the idea.
    '''For Windows 7:''' Double click on the .zip file you just downloaded to open it. One file folder will be displayed inside (mine was titled ''fp_11.2.202.233_archive''). Open this file folder.
    Next, remember which 'bit' your system is running (this information was from Step 1), and click on the appropriate folder. My system is 32 bit, so I clicked on the first 32 bit folder (titled ''11_2r202_233_32bit'').
    A whole bunch of files are contained in this folder. Once again, I can only speak for myself, but I chose the '''''flashplayer11_2r202_233_win_32bit'' Windows Installer Package''' file. A setup was executed, and a previous version of Adobe Flash Plugin is now installed on my system.
    It's been running flawlessly ever since! YouTube works again, and though I have a huge headache, it works for now until a fix is released by Mozilla.
    I don't know a lot of technical terms, but I wanted to at least attempt to explain this fix for others out there with the same YouTube/Flash/Mozilla Firefox problem. If anyone has any questions, feel free to reply and I'll certainly try to help you!

  • Firefox 12 flash player not working with video on Facebook

    Using Firefox 12, newest flash player 32 bit -- embedded video won't work on Facebook. I have tried another computer with XP SP3, completely removed firefox, flash, started in safe mode with add ons disabled, even created a new profile with no addons at all, and nothing seems to fix the problem. Video plays fine in Internet Explorer. That said, YouTube works fine so I don't think its a flash 'only' problem. (I right clicked on video to make sure flash was playing the video and not html 5.)

    Is the Flash player loaded if you right-click that black box where the player should be?
    Does it help if you try to "Disable the hardware acceleration" in the Flash Player?

  • 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 working with IE but with Firefox

    When I go to any site <youtube.mtv,break> to view videos with IE8 it says I need to d/l the newest version of the Flash Player.  I have done this countless times with no luck.  The flash player works with Firefox on any site.  I have went through the options in the IE tools like the troubleshooting area said and made sure all the appropriate settings were turned on and it seems they are.  Anyone else have this problem and they resolved it or head me in the right direction?  Thanks!

    Forgot to mention my FireFox is 35.0.1

  • Flash player not working with windows vista

    I cannot use the
    flash player or the adobe reader on my computer. I haev high speed cable and windows vista system. I was advised by my isp to uninstall norton software and to try to install the adobe flash player again. I am given the instruction to download and it says its downloading. I go to youtube for example, it will continue to tell me to update to the flash player. Also, i somehow have bing as my toolbar on my computer and am not able to follow the direction of the instructions to trouble shoot online. I still have the norton un installed and cannot use the flash player or the flash reader. Can I get some help?

    Hi, thanks. I would Uninstall and Install again, but use these instructions.
    Download and SAVE the Uninstaller to your Desktop:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Then download the Installer for IE and SAVE to your Desktop:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Use the link that is shown for Windows, Internet Explorer and the Installer EXE
    Close all browsers, disable any messenger services in the system tray(area near the clock). Depending on which Anti-Virus/Firewall program you use, you may need to disable those. Some will block the download of the ActiveX Control for Flash Player in IE.
    Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer, then run the Installer for IE, When finished, Reboot your computer.
             You can test each browser here and you should see the Flash logo animation and the Flash Player version.

  • Flash Player not working on Vista 64 Bit

    I too am having extreme difficulty w/ installing the new flash player.  At first I didn't know I had too.  Two days ago I was watching a show on YouTube, and last night it said I needed to install the latest version.
    Windows Vista Home Edition 64 Bit
    Preferred browser Mozilla Foxfire / secondary browser Internet Explorer
    I did all the uninstalls and removed files from the download directory.
    I followed all instructions making sure I chose the appropriate download version for 64 bit.
    Below is what I chose:
    Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.94 (16.9 MB)
    Your system: Windows 64-bit , English, Firefox
    Do you have a different operating system or browser?
    I downloaded, saved and ran it.  Made sure all Firefox windows were closed including weather network.  Then it stated 'installation complete'.
    I went to YouTube and then it said I had to install the Flash Player.  I did this too.  Still, nothing worked.  I am somehow being forced to upgrade a perfectly good computer?
    I hope this can be resolved.  I read through everyones comments, tried them all and still nothing.

    Surprise to me!!! It worked!!!
    I decided to try for the 87th time and it finally worked.  What I did was (incase someone else wants to try this) well, it worked for me ... thought I did this before ...
    Uninstalled all flash players
    Deleted all flash players from download directory
    Deleted deleted items from garbage bin (you never know)
    Re-started the PC
    Went to YouTube and it prompted me to install a Flash Player - did this and guess what ... it worked!  Only 5 hours in ...
    Now, if I can just figure out how to properly use my new sewing machine hem foot and try to finish measuring (after 8 times) the duvet I am sewing then I will be well on my way!
    They say it comes in three's.  Had mine.  Done !
    Good luck everyone!

    The following information would be useful:
    - A direct link to the video / videos where you encountered the crash
    - Your Operating System and Version
    - Your Browser and Version
    - The Version of Flash Player (right-click on Flash content, look in the context menu)
    Do you see the crash in only your preferred browser, or all browsers.  (The Flash Player for Firefox/Safari/Opera, Chrome and Internet Explorer are all significantly different.  Isolating it to one or more browsers is useful in understanding the root cause.)
    Have you tried the video troubleshooting guide?  If so, please detail the steps you took and the results you saw.  This is extremely useful in isolating a root-cause.
    Video playback issues
    If you're encountering the crash in Firefox, a direct link to the crash report would be extremely useful:
    In the address bar, type about:crashes
    You'll see a list of links with random letters and numbers
    Click the first link.  It will take you to a crash report page.  Hit back, and the link will change to start with bp- and a new set of letters and numbers.
    Right-click that link, and choose Copy Link Location.
    Paste it into a reply here.
    Repeat for the first few if you have multiple crashes.
    Thanks!

  • Adobe Flash Player not working with IE 11 Active X

    After successful installation of Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X, there is no shortcut to it but the program is found in the Control Panel (under uninstall).
    Tried re-installation and all help on internet forum and Youtube, the videos at yahoo.com.sg still prompts to download latest flash player. Why?

    This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    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.
