Flash player won't update in firefox in windows 8

I use Mozilla Firefox on a Windows 8 OS. I installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.6, but the content on my page won't pull up. I have one of those spinning circles that just keeps going around and round, but never actually comes up. And, if it does come up, the pictures and content won't show. I uninstalled and the re-installed Flash and Java last night. I checked my add-ons, and they're ok. One thing I noticed is that in the task manager, where it shows "Adobe Flash Player Automatic Updates", it is stopped. Every time I restart it, it won't stay in start, it keeps stopping, but I don't know if this has anything to do with it. Please Help!! I'm an online student and have exams due TODAY!! I really need to be able to pull up the content of the exams so I don't lose points for turning in late work. Thank you in advance for any advice you may have.

I don't know what is causing your problems with Firefox, but if you need to see Flash content I suggest that you use IE10 with the built-in Flash Player.

Which version of Flash Player do you have installed, and are you running Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP Pro, Windows XP Home, Linux, Ubuntu, Fedora, or do you have an Apple Mac? If you have an Apple computer, which version of OSX do you have installed? Without this specific information, we cannot assist you very much.

Adobe Flash Player won't install into Firefox, even when using the offline installer, and downloading it through Firefox

Ever since the latest update of the Adobe Flash Player, I think it came out this week.
I can't seem to get it to work with Firefox, I have downloaded the installer, it installs successfully, then I check in Firefox to see if it works. It says that I need to install it?!?! I have tried the offline installer of the Adobe Flash Player, I also tried installing it through Firefox (when you click "Install missing plugins"). That just fails instantly.
I posted on the Adobe Forums, but no luck.
I am getting frustrated with this! I have never had problems with installing the Flash Player, and I didn't install this version any different from the previous versions. Flash Player was working well until the latest update of Flash Player was released.
If I go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, it shows all the Flash Player files, but it's not showing up in the Firefox addon manager, and not working on YouTube, or any other Flash Player sections of sites.
I installed the 64-bit version, because I have a 64-bit Windows.
It works on IE, but not on Firefox.
It seems like it installs fine, but then it doesn't looks like it "installs" it into Firefox. Or whatever...
Also, I have tried uninstalling it with the Adobe 64-bit Uninstaller, restarting my PC after uninstalling, then install the 64-bit Flash Player for Firefox... doesn't work.
I have done EVERYTHING I can do to try and get it to work, no luck...
Please, any help with be appreciated!

Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player 11 for Windows or Macintosh?

Adobe Flash Player won't work with Firefox

Hi, I have Adobe Flash Player 10.3 on my computer, but it won't work on Firefox 5.0.1. It isn't even mentioned anywhere in the Firefox Add-ons and Plug-ins tab. Can I use it?

Flash player won't update/install/work/etc.

About a week ago my flash player apparently stopped working.
Sites like youtube, google video, none of these will work because
it says I need to update my Flash player. Everytime I try to
update, the installer runs, IE restarts, and the problem persists.
I have done this over 20 times, and it will not work.
I have used the uninstaller to take flash player off and
reinstall the newest version, but this does not work either. I have
done it at least 6 times with no results. I am running Windows
Vista, and when i run it in Safe Mode it works fine, but not on
normal booting... only safe mode. Are there any known programs or
malicious software that could be interfering with it functioning
properly? Or maybe another suggestion on getting it to work
correctly?

omg I have the same problem too, i swear ive tried almost
everything I can even think of, what happens for me is ill go to
install it and it will show that the adobe flash is trying to load
something but eventually it wont load and just repeats itself into
a loop trying to install it. ive tried reinstalling uninstalling,
playing with the registry, going into the activex folders and
messing around there and i cannot find why it wont let me install
it., I have windows XP home and using IE, but it works good on
Firefox.

Mac OS X : Flash Player won't update

I'm running a Mac OS X, version 10.3.9 (500MHx Power PC G3).
I used to run Verison 8 of Flash Player, but a video I wanted to
watch required I update Flash to 9. I went to the Adobe site,
downloaded, did everything. It appeared that Flash did download,
but when I go to a site that requires Flash the content appears
blank. (Or if there is text companying the video, where the video
would be is completely blank.)
I tried installing Flash through Firefox (2.0.0.15), but it
says Flash 9 failed to download.
I tried going back to Flash 8, but it wouldn't work either.
Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

Follow these instructions: How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X to the letter. You'lll perform an "offline" install and be up to date.
Adobe updates are released on average about every six weeks, not once a week. In fact, the most often they've been this year was in March when a security issue was addressed and an additional Windows update was released ten days after the regular update, but that wouldn't have affected you on a Mac.

Flash player won't update on my macbook?

I've tried about two dozen times to get flash player to update on my macbook 10.5.8 and it still won't work. The installation always goes fine, and says it was successful at the end, yet never actually works (yes, i've tried restarting my computer after). I used to be able to opt to watch videos online with the older version but now it won't let me and I can't so much as watch a youtube video because it says i'm missing the plug in. Any ideas why it's not working would be greatly appreciated!

1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
     Press the "Delete All" button.
     Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
   Download it first.
   The next step is important.
   Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
    Follow the prompts and install it.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Allow Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.

Hi, You are correct, it wouldn't have anything to do with IE8. Ever since Win7 came out, I know it has IE8 so I just connect the two in my brain.LOL I read that you can't go back to any other version of IE, with Win7.
Firefox calls their add ons "plug-ins"; Internet Explorer calls their add ons "ActiveX Controls". Adobe calls Flash Player a browser "plug-in" Now most likely you will find the Flash Player listed in the add/remove or programs and features section, where programs are listed. Confused yet? Now when Flash Player is installed using IE, 4 files are installed into
the Flash folder. That alone is not enought for Flash Player to work. In the IE add ons, the Shockwave Flash Object, yes the ActiveX Control and it is the Control must be there and enabled.
Now if Flash Player is installed in FF, also 4 files are installed into the Flash folder. You have 8 files, so you have all of what you need for Flash Player to work using IE since you have the SWO. FF also needs that "control", but it is called
SWF(Shockwave Flash) and it must be enabled. The SWF is called a "plug-in".
The only thing I found on Mozilla is how to install the Flash Player "plug-in" which I thot they meant the SWF. No they
mean how to install what Adobe calls Flash Player, i.e. the "plug-in" Now are you confused? But you already have Flash Player installed and the 4 files are sitting in the Flash folder. Dizzy yet?
I am going to Microsoft and it may be tomorrow before we get an answer. LOL
Now I know why I liked Accounting, 2+2 was always 4.

Adobe flash player won't update?

Hi there! I keep getting blocked plug-in messages. I try to update Adobe Flash Player and when I get to step 3 the screen says "blocked plug-in" (imagine that!) and therefore I cannot finish the download. I have enabled all plug-ins in the Preferences-Security window as well.
Stumped.... Please help

Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.
Then do the following:
Make sure you download Adobe Flash Player that pertains to your OS which your system profile confirms is OS 10.6.8.
Check Flash Version
Adobe strongly recommends that you first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html#main_1 0_4
Follow the instructions closely, such as quitting ALL applications first before installing. Repair permissions and restart your computer after the installation is completed.

Updating flash player, won't update

I am trying to update my flash player, when it gets to 50% it tells me to close IE. It is closed & I click retry & it tells me I need to close IE ?

Flash Player Won't Update

I regularly receive invitations to update, and I follow the instructions! However, when I try to run "install_flashplayer12x32au_chra_aaa_aih.exe" it starts, but after several seconds stops and closes!? Any explanation/suggestions!?

Don't use the GUI downloader/installer to update. Anti-virus software messes with it something awful.
Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Close your browser and run the installer.

Reader will not download and flash player won't update. No errors or run prompt.

The screen doesn't advance from step 2

Download and run the offline installers:
Adobe Reader: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player (Mac OS)
