Flash Player, Windows 7 64-bit, Firefox 3.6 user needs HELP

There are so many solutions on this forum for using Firefox with Flash Player and getting it to work -- however I am dizzy from reading all the technical stuff that I can't begin to understand. I don't even know what Flash Player does. I don't know where it is or whether I need to update it. Periodically I get a message from Firefox that says I need to update it immediately, but the directions to do so are way too complex for this computer user. I began using a PC as soon as they were available when computer stuff was much more straight-forward. I just want things to work without all these complications. I have a few questions:
1. How do I know whether or not Flash is working on my computer. I get periodic messages from Firefox that say I need to Update Flash Player. But I'm afraid to update something that I don't know is broken.
2. I can't begin to understand HOW to update. Tried to update from the Firefox site. It diverted me to a list of instructions which looked easy enough EXCEPT there was no yellow bar on my screen and therefore no "Edit Options."
3. When I read through many of the posts related to these issues, I realized that I do not have the capability to understand the instructions given to make all this work. I have Firefox 3.6.10. Should I really uninstall it and download the 32-bit version?? I would be pretty afraid to download a Beta version of Flash Player for 64 bit since the description says it might be unstable in its infancy.
4. Where on earth do I find the Flash Player program currently installed?.
5. A screen just popped up that said it would Install Flash Player 10.1. Should I install it with Firefox 3.6? Or will this cause things not to work?
6. Can someone direct me to a Flash Player Beginners Forum?

We've been fighting this problem FOREVER!!
Why doesn't Adobe simply come out with a "Troubleshooter/Personal Settings" Inspector Program?
That way, I would start that program & it would analyze my op system, browser & version, current flashplayer being used
, and tell me the changes needed. If Adobe REALLY wanted to do it right, that program would make necessary changes "FOR US"! But, *WILL* THEY? Knowing Adobe, I DOUBT it.
If changes need to be made, it simply tells me what they are & give me links to accomplish all of it?
IS THAT SO DIFFICULT?

Flash Player 11 64-bit for Windows with 32-bit Debugger Keeps Crashing

Hi,
I have been battling with this crashes since Flash Player 11 came out. I have a 64-bit Windows machine and installed Flash Player 11+ 64-bit with 32-bit debugger. Every time a run my application it crashes. Even YouTube crashes also. If I don't install the debugger everything works fine (but then I can't debug my application). I tested it in Firefox, Chrome and IE and all of them crash.
I am contented with FP 10.+ for now (until Adobe come up with a solution) because it works for me including the debugger but I have an issue with my application that only occurs in Flash Player 11.
If anyone else knows a fix or how to get around this, please share. Thanks so much.

i have the same problem and also the uninstaller tells there is an error but no information is available.

Flash content causing Adobe Flash Player to crash in FireFox

Adobe flash player is crashing when even visiting YouTube's home page.
I am using Linux Mint Debian 64 bit.
I have the latest FF and FP versions, here is the crash file:

I have tried safemode with no success. (flash works flawlessly in Chromium)

Flash Player - Windows 7 - 2 Processes in Windows Task Manager - Slowing performance?

Hello...I was hoping someone could help me fix this issue. I live on my computer for work so this affects me daily and has for many, many, many months. Firefox works great until Flash Player launches and then everything I do in my browser slows down to a speed similar to a turtle in a chess match. When I go into the Windows Task Manager to close the Flash Player process so I can, for example, browse a text-only page or fill out a discussion question form on Adobe's forum page without 5 to 10 second delays between instructions (moving the mouse, clicking on something in the browser, typing etc.), I find not one but two processes in the Windows Task Manager. I assume there should only be 1 process and was wondering if it was something I could fix on my machine somewhere other than doing it 15 times a day using Windows Task Manager to stop the process(es) so my machine will work properly.
I highly suspect it is the Flash Player that causes the issue as every single time I kill the process, my machine works like it is supposed to (fast etc.). As soon as the Flash Player Plugin process(es) starts everything comes to a crawl. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it? I use the latest version of Firefox, the latest version of Flash Player, Windows 7 Professional (latest updates installed), I eat right, get good sleep, give to charity, and love my mom. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help in advance!

Hello Chris and Sameer,
thank you for getting back on this issue.
To answer your questions first:
- no, I have not posted this issue in the connect forums - I will do and point to this discussion
- Sameer, I have tested the webcam on the website you pointed out, it is not working with Firefox but it is working in Chrome
I also need to give you an update on the current versions I use:
Win 7 Pro (64bit) (all updates included)
Firefox 21.0
IE 10.0.9200.16576
Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m
Flash Player 11.7.700.202
Adobe Connect Addin 11.2 r261
I tested the webcam via FP with Firefox, IE and Chrome in the versions mentioned above. Only in Chrome I can run the WebCam on the www.testwebcam.com website. Once I start the adobe connect meeting and want to start the webcam the Connect Addin stops working with the popup as shown in post 3 of this discussion in all three browsers.
All components have been uninstalled and installed again (except for IE) for testing with no change in the result. I have also rolled back the computer to the system recovery point furthest back in time to see if any other installation might be the cause. But no luck either.
I am happy to post the logs but would need advise where to find these or how to retrieve.
Thanks!

Need help Installing Flash player 10.3 for firefox. It stops at 50%

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.

Installed Flash Player for 64 bit not working

Installed Flash Player for 64 bit but my pc doesn't recognize it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, rebooted and it's still not recognized. I'm running Windows 7. Also tried shutting down my AVG and still a no go. It downloads and I get the successful install but when I try to access a site that it's required for ie. Starbucks & YouTube, it says I need to install Flash. Any ideas to assist me would be greatly appreciated.

Switching my adobe flash player from 32 bits to a 64 bits system flash player

in my control panel under flashplayer is a 32 bit system download and in my systems display says it should have a 64 bit flashplayer system download , this is the reason why I cant play most of the internet games in which most will display that my adobe flash player needs updating and downloading . once I click on updates or down loads it will only download 50% then stops

There isn't a separate 32-bit or 64-bit Flash Player; the installer will automatically install both on a 64-bit system.
If you have troubles installing it, try the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header

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.

Resolve installed Flash player not excuted for all the Vista users on my PC?

I have a Windows Vista 32-bits system.
I have created 2 admin and 2 standard users.
Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) 32 bit is installed but also Chrome and Firfox are used.
For 1 admin user Flash works fine when accessing a site in IE9 that requires Flash.
For the other users, including the admin user, IE9 must be run "as adminstrator" by specifically choosing that option.
If not run "as administrator" IE9 states that Flash needs to be installed. That either leeds to Flash player not being installed (error is that it is already installed) or that after a succesful installation the problem simply occurs again (and again and again ...)
I want the standard users on the pc to be able to navigate to trusted sites without running IE9 in "as adminstrator" mode.
What do I need to do?
Can I set Adobe Flash player to be available for all the users for Vista and IE9?
Do I need to alter registry settings manually?
If yes - how and which?
Thanks in advance.

Chris,
Thanks for the reply but unfortunately it does not resolve the problem.
Other users (including the other system administrator) still need to run IE as administrator.
When in my sysadmin account the shortcuts for other users to a URL requiring Flash and using IE9 execute fine GRRRRRRR.
This is very frustrating.
On my pc Chrome aand Modzilla have no problems.
The childrens protective software I have however is based on IE.
Do you have any more suggestions?
My alternative is to downgrade IE9 to IE8 or 7 but that is also not an easy exercise ...
Thanks in advance for any input.

I fould a hack that makes the sites think you have the latest (Intel) version of Flash installed. So I installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari. Here's the info.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

There may be a couple Apps that may help, but I understand they don't work very well. The best solution would be to contact the owners of the websites and let them know they need to update their site.
The alternative I use, is to download the problem video onto my computer, and convert it to M4V or MP4 format using a program like HandBrake <HandBrake>. Then it can be added to iTunes and synced with the iPad.

Because, as has been stated numerous times today, Adobe has been unable to create a version of flash that met Apple's requirements
