Flash player problems with youtube - using firefox

I have been having these problems for a while now, at least over 6 months I'd say. Everytime I want to watch any youtube video, I get this:
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."
I have scoured the internet for answers. I have cleared cookies, done clean uninstalls/installs, and java script is enabled. I somehow fixed it yesterday, when I cleared out cookies and also cleared file cache in firefox. It was also fixed after I uninstalled flash player, and upgraded to firefox 3.6. However, the problem has returned and after clearing cookies and the file cache again, it's still not working. I am hoping someone has a permanent fix for this. Also, I can watch videos on google, dailymotion, metacafe, etc. Only youtube gives me these problems.
I am using Windows XP SP2 and Firefox 3.6. Thank you

I wish that worked :[
I forgot to add that I am also using Norton Antivirus 2005. I already went to the Personal Firewall settings and I configured it to permit all adobe programs.

Why does Adobe Flash Player block me from using Firefox?

Every time I try to use Firefox, Adobe Flash Player blocks me from doing so.
I get continual messages that keep reappearing: """""""Adobe Flash Player 11.5 r502 has stopped working.
A problem occurred to make the program stop working correctly. Windows has closed... etc. """""""
This message just keeps re-appearing, and I can't do anything else by close out of it........
and then switch to another browser. I CAN'T USE FIREFOX.
I went in and downloaded the new version, just to make sure it wasn't being blocked by an old version,
but that didn't matter at all. It still blocks me out.
HELP!!!!!!! How do I stop this?
((((Note: I haven't been in here for over a year, and have no idea what email account you

I'm sorry you're going through this. I suspect you're running into a conflict with our Protected Mode which was introduced in Flash Player 11.4. Please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue. If it does, please re-enable it and give our latest Flash Player 11.6 beta a shot. You can download it here:

Flash player keeps crashing when using firefox ok using internet explorer

Flash player stops working when using various sites particularily ebay. It shows action script errors but not always the same one, If you dismiss and continue it usually starts working again but not always. Sometimes you have to restart firefox. I have latest firefox and flashplayer in fact problems seemed to start with latest versions. I have tried internet explorer and flashplayer is fine on all sites. I would like to carry on using firefox but will have to stop if problems persist. I am not a computer whiz kid so would not want to go through tests etc, i would prefer if Mozilla could sort this out.

The flash program for Firefox is a different version then IE.
First, lets update your Flash Player '''Version 16.0.0.305<br>https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html'''
If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:
* see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
'''https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration'''
* disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
'''https://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround'''
* disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Adobe flash player problem with IE 7 (flickering or Blinking)

Hello!
I have really anoying problem that bothers me about 2 days..so the problem is when im watching pages ex ( youtube, slo-tech..,) that includes flash. When i looking pages or whatching videos the page and texts or picture starts flickering or blinking also when i move mouse up and down or when i scroll it's horible and anoying. before i didn't have that problem and i have the latest adobe flash player.
sorry for mine bad english =) i hope u understand what i mean it
my specs are:
Intel Pentium core duo e8500 3,2ghz
4gb Patriot viper 800mhz
Windows Xp service pack 3
hope you can resolve problem =)
Regards,

Hello JLavius
Looking at your Java. I am not familiar with IE7 but I know it has different features than IE6 which I still use.
Take a look at your screenshots, the 3 part and the other 2. Are there really 6 Java Plug-in 1.6.0_17 ActiveX Controls installed or is this
a screenshot overlap or counted more than once ? In addition there is another ActiveX Plug in same vs 1.6.0_17 but in file npjpi160_...
Then, there is a Java(tm)Plug-in 2 SSV, a BHO (Browser Helper Object) in file jp2ssv.dll
Lastly, there is a JQSIEStartDetectorImp (Not verified) Sun Microsy..., another BHO in file jqs_plugin
I will freely admit, Java is perplexing, but I'm trying to understand why anything takes this many ActiveX Controls and Browser Helpers to run. The 2SSV has it's own BHO and same with JQSIE.
The above is just my observation. You said that you noticed this flickering and blinking (instability) a few days around the time you posted.
Can you remember installing anything new around that time? Any software or perhaps an IE or Windows Update? Something is causing this and trying to pin point it is going to be difficult. You have the most add ons I have ever seen, but you have a great system too and it
looks like it could handle anything.
It may be worth a look in Add/Remove to see what IE or Windows Updates may have been installed around that date. Any program or Anti-Virus update or change?
I would contact Sun Microsystems and ask them about the Java. Flash Player, Shockwave Flash Object and Java work together for the best experience. See what you can find out and post back. If you can't find anything out, you may need to open up a support ticket here at Adobe. Thanks JLavius, I wish I could be more help.
P.S. here is the Sun Microsystems (Sun) forums. http://forums.sun.com/index.jspa

Problems with youtube in firefox with windows 8 and 8.1

Lately i sell some computers with windows 8, and windows 8.1, so they are fresh install. and i have problems with the videos under youtube, but just with firefox, with chrome works ok, with internet explorer the same, no problem. The problem when i'm using the pluging of flash, is the next:
start the reproduction of the video with the default resolution in my case of 360, but after of a few seconds, 6 or 7, the reproduction jump to the lower resolution available (240 by example), and after other few seconds, do the same jump to a lower resolution, few seconds againd and jump to higher resolutions available, maybe 480, and so until try with every resolution available in the video and after of that show the next message:
"Se ha producido un error, vuelve a intentarlo mas tarde"
The messaage is in spanish because i'm using spanish versions to sell, well, just say that a error arised and try later.
well i think maybe problems with the pluging of flash, i will try with the html5 support, then i enable the html5 support in youtube.
And still with problems but a little different the video start with the default resolution (360), and after a few seconds maybe 3 or 4, the video stop, maybe 1 second and later continue by other 2 or 3 seconds of video and stop again other second, and continue on this way until the end of the video.
I dont have problems with the network, i can see the videows without problems with other computers in the same network, or with mobile devices, but the problem is just with firefox.
Isnt virus, because the installation is clean, i dont have extra software because the first times i think that would be by a extra software, then just clean installation of windows 8 and 8.1 and firefox, the problem i try versions since the 29 until now that the latest is the 33, the same problem, exactly in the same way, and doesn't help of nothing update the drivers of the motherboard or even install every update of windows.
Procesador Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G2030 @ 3.00GHz
motherboard gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2
MEMORY 4gb RAM DDR·3
Hard disk 500GB Seagate.
with this same configuration i dont have problem if i have installed windows 7.
I guess isnt a problem of hardware, because the other browsers can display the videos without any problem.
- the latest version of mozilla firefox in every time.
- I try every thing, clear cache, disable acceleration, update drivers, update windows, uninstall and reinstall, even format the machine again.
I see other posts of people with similar problems, but without 1 good answer, just a lot of general solutions that doesnt work.
i must confese that i dont test yet with other hardware and same software.
I hope someone can help me.
No big problem for me, because i dont use these computers, but i like use firefox, and if i had that problem in my computer i would be crazy trying to find a fix to the problem.

The data of my firefox is this one, dont know if this can be of utility, in this moment i install the addblock, but the problem was since the installation was clean. then this doesnt affect in the result.
Thank's

Flash Player Problems with IE

Hello,
When I installed the new Flash CS4 when it was released a few
months ago, I noticed that the flash player stopped working with IE
7. That wasn't really a problem for me at the time because I always
use firefox. However, I need the flash player to work with IE for
another program and I can't seem to get it to install anymore. I
keep getting the
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166
error, so I followed all the solutions on this page:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19166&sliceId=1
But I haven't had any luck.
Does any one have any other ideas?
Thanks

So there aren't any other solutions? (besides reinstalling
vista) I just think it is strange that it was working before I
installed Flash CS4 but not after. Has anyone else encounter
something similar to this?

Adobe Flash Player Problem with Safari

Hello,
I've just installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on Safari. I can watch videos on all websites except for one, namely NovaTv Play. Whatever I do, I cannot open any of the videos. Therefore, I have to use a different browser like Google Chrome. I'd like to continue using one web browser but cannot resolve this problem myself. I've checked the FAQ of the aforementioned website and it is stated that if the videos cannot be loaded, the proper installation of Adobe Flash Player should be checked. This is something I did, and as stated, there are no problems with other websites. Can somebody help me with this issue?
I am using OS X 10.9.5 (13F34) and the latest version of Safari.
Thank you for your attention to the problem!
Best wishes,
Mariyan

so, if anyone else is having the same problem....My flash is working properly now. You have to delete every trace of the old adobe flash player and then reinstall the latest version!

Problem with touchpad using firefox and windows 8.1. I don't have a problem with explorer 11.

new HP computer with windows 8.1. Firefox does not work well with the touch pad when scrolling . very slow and erratic, most noticeable when using facebook. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer 11.
Old computer had windows 7 and my preference was to use firefox over explore. At this time i'm being forced to use explore and firefox is to aggravating to use.

Currently Firefox is not available for metro devices.
However, make sure that the touch features are enabled by searching for "touch" in the about:config entries.
In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.

Flash player problems with PDF that has multi-media content (voice recordings).

Hi - I created a presentation in Presenter 9 that contains audio recordings, published it as a pdf and sent it to my client's offices all over the U.S., as well as Japan, Belgium, Germany, South America and France. No one has had an issue viewing/hearing the presentation except one office, located in California. When they try to open it, they get the following message:
"To view the flash technololgy content in this pdf file, please install the required version of flash player."
Because of the message, and the fact that everyone else can open the presentation, I think the issue is related to the version of Flash Player the CA office is using, and that it is not a "Presenter" problem. The operating system and software details are as follows:
Windows 7 Pro SP1, 64-bit
Internet Explorer 11.0.13, 32-bit
Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.09
Acrobat 9 Pro Version 9.0.0
Adobe Flash Player 15 ActiveX
I would welcome any advice you might have. This is difficult for me to troubleshoot as I am not having the problem, my client is.
Thanks -
Susan

Pat -
Thank you so much for your response. I will give it a try.
Best regards,
Susan

Adobe Flash Player Problem with Install

I too am having the same problem as the many of you with the Flash Player saying that it is installed on internet explorer 8 and yet every website wants me to down load the latest version like I don't have it. I realy am getting tired of see the same popup constantly. I can find no answer from Adobe for this issue. Its like we are being ignored. What up with this Adobe? I on the stick and give us an answer please.

Please do a clean install of adobe flash player, follow the steps mentioned below

I like to play games on facebook and for some reason I keep getting an error message saying that the shockwave player and flash player has crashed I use firefox could someone please give me step by step instructions to fix this issue?

I have Windows 8.1, my adobe player is the most updated version also.... hope this helps

Yeah, Firefox and Flash Player isn't a super stable combination on Windows 8.1 at the moment. We're collaborating closely with Mozilla to improve that, but that effort is going to happen over several months.
In the meantime, you might want to take a look at the other options. Microsoft invested a lot of time and effort into making the Flash experience on Win8.1 really good in IE, as did Google with Chrome.

Flash Player Problems with Mac Power PC

I have tried all the suggestions on this forum about how to install Flash Player for a Power PC Mac running 10.5.8. I still get the notice to install Flash Player. Is there something else that could be wrong? I ran the debugger, don't have any firewalls running etc. I finally got it to download and install but where is it going?

Hi Chris,
I used this link: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/895134?tstart=0
Where you said the following,
'Please try the following:
1. Follow the instructions for uninstalling Flash Player on the Mac: Uninstall Flash Player | Mac
2. Mount the flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg and try installing again
3. If it still fails, right click on "Install Adobe Flash Player" and select "Show Package Contents".
4. Navigate into the /Contents/Resources/ folder and double click the Adobe Flash Player.pkg file.
Thanks,
Chris'
It didn't help though.
I tried step 4 and the installer says, "You cannot install. There is nothing to install."
So now, what am I to do??
Thanks.

Having problems with youtube after firefox update

To get to Firefox troubleshooting I went to their website, then to support, and then just "wandered" around until I found the troubleshooting link.
