Flash player on Firefox in Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite?

I'm testing Flash Player 15.0 r0 (15.0.0.152) on Firefox (32.0.2) in Mac public beta OS 10.10 (Yosemite)
about:addons in Flash shows Flash Player.plugin as properly installed for MIME application/x-shockwave-flash (.swf) and "Always Active"
Yet so far as I can see, Flash doesn't start at all. Is this a known issue?
(Of course, Flash Player installer only claims support through OS 10.9. You've got another month before 10.10 supposedly ships. Still: will we be on top of this?) [It does (mostly) work in Safari, and working fine on Chrome.]

Hi,
I am having a similar problem. I have Firefox 35.0.1 on OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) and the latest version of Flash Player installed but my Flash Player never runs. I am attaching a screenshot of what the Flash Player Help page looks like for me.

Trying to install Adobe Flash Player 11 on my Mac...PluginProcess?

Trying to install Adobe Flash Player 11 on my Mac. The insallation stops and I am told to exit something called PlugInProcess. I don't know what it is. I don't show it being open. Any help?

The Plugin Process is an app that runs alongside Firefox and Safari when they're open. Lately Firefox's plugin process has been "hanging" on my Mini. I'll close the app but it keeps running and using RAM for several minutes.
Download the Mac Offline Installer here
Quit your browser and reboot if necessary to "kill" all processes.
Then mount the DMG and run the installer.

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

Loading Flash Player 9 on PPC Mac - need help

Hi!
I am trying to load Flash Player 9 onto my Mac but it won't
work. I've tried everything I could find on this forum (and yes, I
did read all 87 posts on the topic). Anyway, my Mac is a Power PC
G4 with OSX 10.4.11 and my browser is Safari 3.1.
Every time I try to load, it takes me back to the downloads
page on the Adobe website. I've used the uninstaller & tried
reinstalling - no luck. I've tried changing the items mentioned in
QuickTime - no luck. I've even tried using the code with the
Terminal - no luck. Disk permissions - no luck.
Any other suggestions before I take a hammer to my machine??
Thanks!

I just installed the Flash Player 9 on my Power PC based Mac OS X 10.3.9 and
now no Flash elements work in Safari 1.3.2, or even Explorer. I have been sure to close all browsers, uninstall first etc. The
installations appears to complete successfully, but I get the following error
message on any page that has flash: Maybe Flash Player 9 is not compatible with it.

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.

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!

Flash Player crashing Firefox

Hello,
Last week i keep having issues with Adobe Flash player crashing Firefox.
Each time i visit a site that uses Flash i get the well known error message saying that Adobe Flash player has crashed.
I use Windows 8.1 x64
The latest Firefox version (33.0.2)
The latest Flash player
I have tried setting ProtectedMode to 0 & disabling hardware acceleration. Both methods didnt work for me.
Also i uninstalled Flash using Adobe's uninstaller and reinstalling the latest Flash version which didn't work either.
Any help is greatly appreciated because this is getting very frustrating. I never had any problems with Flash before untill this week.
I haven't installed or made any hard -/ software changes either.

First, please return Flash Player to the standard configuration. Disabling ProtectedMode leaves you far more vulnerable to malware than you would be otherwise. If disabling hardware acceleration didn't resolve the issue, then you can enable it again.
First things first, from the Firefox menu, choose Help > Restart with Add-Ons Disabled. Do you continue to see the stability problem? If not, then we should look at what other plug-ins you have installed to see if they're causing compatibility issues. Likely candidates would be ad blockers and "download flash video" plug-ins.
If the crashes persist, go to about:crashes in the Firefox address bar. Click the first few links to submit the crash reports to Mozilla, then copy the resulting links to a response here.
Thanks!

Cannot install Flash Player in Firefox

Windows Vista 32 bit
Firefox 3.6.8
I have been trying for days to install the latest version of Flash Player for Firefox but keep going round in circles.
I download the Download Manager which then prompts me to restart Firefox.
When I do, the Download Manager starts but I then get a screen telling me that in order to use a proxy I need to enter an address and a port. I am not using a proxy. If I click OK the screen reappears. If I click cancel the downlaod is cancelled.
I have tried uninstalling previous versions, but this makes no difference.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Don't use the download manager; download the installer directly from
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

I cannot get rid of the permissions box when using flash player in firefox

Hi
I have explored on the web about this problem. When attempting to use flash player in firefox, I cannot click on the allow button to allow my video camera and microphone to be used on sites. I CAN go to Global settings and allow the sites by putting their URL, but this makes no difference, the little permissions box keeps appearing and won't go away.
Anyone know what else to try if changing global setting permissions doesn't work?
Barry

This sounds like a bug. The direction that we're heading is to have the browsers present these permission dialogs, and to eliminate them from Flash completely. It is unlikely these native dialogs will support an "always allow" or "remember" option.
If you're not able to click the button in the dialog when it's displayed, that's problematic. We have a couple things in the pipeline to make the dialog bigger. Usually those problems are resolution specific, although if there's moving video behind the dialog, that can trip our security controls. We do a bunch of checks to ensure that the dialog you're clicking isn't obscured by something else, so that we're sure you know that you're clicking and approve button.
There is an improvement in the pipeline to make these dialogs bigger. They were originally designed for 640x480 screens (they've been around *that* long), and they're way too small on modern high-density displays.
Anyway, you're welcome to file a bug at http://bugbase.adobe.com/. Please be sure to include a link to the problem content, and the configuration you're using (OS and browser version, and screen resolution would be particularly useful -- these are often resolution-dependent issues).

Flash player on the new mac sarafi can't use keyboard and event listener

flash player on the new mac sarafi can't use keyboard and event listener
cn:英文有些差不好意思，附上中文说明：在flash player web 开发时，我在最新版本的sarafi上，目前出现不能响应键盘事件bug,为了验证是不是我本地问题，我也用在多款别的网页游戏上进行测试，全有这个bug，另外，有时还有那个fp弹出本地缓存提示设置窗口也点不了“允许或拒绝“那些按钮

Now after 5 weeks, you have always not resolved this very important and urgent issue. It seems that Adobe has realy abandonned the actionscript / flash player projects. Why not simply discontinue flash player on desktops too ? Or even better remove or block "automaticaly" all flash players with the final update. That could create a serious issue on the Internet for few weeks but at least that will be honorable end like a Samurai's Seppuku...

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.

When using flash player for games, the mac runs real slow

When using flash player for games, the mac runs real slow. It's also not the fastest at anything. Can I do anything to speed stuff up ?????

Have no clue. You provided no details and your system profile is blank.
Which os are you using?
How are you connected to the internet?
Have you contacted your isp to make sure the slowness is not coming from their end?
Max out your ram.
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
You you using the latest version of Adobe Flash?
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.
