Flash plugin load behind the GFW of China
Hello. I am in China and Youtube is filtered by the powers that be. I can see the youtube.com home page if I load it through a proxie server. That still doesn't allow me to see any videos because the Adobe Flash plugin will not load via the remote proxy server. Any suggestions? Please don't reply "Not possible", because anything is possible.

Firefox ESR 10.0.12 disables flash plugin - updates to the last version do not work?
Suddenly - without any actions by me - FF ESR 10.0.12 refuses to accept Adobe Flash? (System Win 7 64 Ultimate)
It started with a very annoying bar, which cost me 2 hours to deactivate, which told me to update an very old and unused Adobe Reader plugin. Then it insisted, that the Foxit PDF reader plugin was not up to date. Since I do not use it, I deactivated it too. Since I seldom use Flash, I just found out today, that youtube does not work anymore - FF insists, that my flash plugin is too old and it deactivated it.
This has cost me hours up to now and it is _exactly_ the reason why I use the ESR channel.
What I did:
Deinstalled Adobe Flash completely (using Windows). Used the normal Firefox update, which it recommends (your flash player was deactivated, please install...). No success, it simply goes into a loop, always telling me my flash player is too old.
I also installed it directly from Adobe (the Firefox version!!), in all cases it reports version 11.5.502.104. The last version from Adobe - but it seems to be too old???
I am spitting angry now - this kind of trouble is the reason I only use ESR versions from Mozilla. I do not want your chaos troupe to play around with _my_ installation. But obviously you found ways to do so.
If this is not solved (and no, I will _not_ reinstall Firefox, I will _not_ delete my profile) in a few days, Firefox is dead for me. I am already looking to Chrome and Opera. Many friends have these browsers - I am a bit conservative, and I want my browser stable and the look an feel should be stable also. I do _not_ want a new version every two weeks, which every time costs my effort and time to configure it how I want it.
The question here is: How did you manage to disable the last version of Flash, and why? Why must I now register here and invest valuable time to get my browser to work again?? If I had done something, installed or removed something, ok. But I did not. (And yes, up to now I did update Flash and other plugins, when I was prompted to do so)
Clearly _your_ management does _not_ work: If I use the solutions which FF itself recommends, it sends me in an endless loop: Install newest Flash, sorry, Flash is outdated, install newest Flash...
Is this the 'new security'? Bah. If you did this for the 'normal user' (which you obviously do not respect anymore), you failed. And you failed completely for me: If software insists to do things 'automatically', it should at least do them reliably, _or_ it should ask. But working in the background, changing important things, reporting nothing, and then failing is exactly the reason why I disable all 'automatic' activities and want to be _asked_ before some idiotic piece of c.... deconfigures itself - and stops working...
Hints to the Troubleshooting Info below:
At this time Flash player is installed, shows in the systems software list as 'Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin', Version 11.5.502.146. The rest are my normal plugins. Serveral changes to about:config were done by me in an effort to make FF usable again, without nagging 'info' bars...Additional information - according to the wiki you pointed me to, it was correct to uninstall flash using Windows control panel. I am very sure that I already had the latest version installed from the beginning, because Flash player pointed me to an update on Windows start (as usual) several days ago.
The error clearly lies with FF, since despite an up to date Flash player it decided it wants it new - something to do with the blacklist? How can it tell, that its outdated, if it does not find it and not show it in the list of plugins?
There is something fishy here... -
I have tried all the fixes on the managing the Flash plugin website (uninstalled, reinstalled, updated plug in, etc) but I am still not able to access my subscription on my favorite digital magazine. I can view it in Internet Explorer and I can play Flash games on Facebook, etc. So I am at a lost as to where to try next. With it being on the old tower PC and not my new zippy laptop it is difficult to play with troubleshooting and with all the addons installed by my family I'm not sure what to delete or try again.
Did you post with the computer that gives problems or did you use another computer?
Try to uninstall and reinstall Flash.
See Flash Player uninstall: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 (this will remove the Firefox Flash plugin and the ActiveX control for IE)
Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions.
You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension as you do not need them to run Java applets.

I was able to open PDFs online until version 8. Since upgrading to version 9 and now 10, I have crashes every time I try to open a PDF online and can see the form briefly for about two seconds before the plugin crashes. I followed instructions on the solution to update Adobe Flash and Mozilla, and they are both to the most recent version and it still crashes every time, no dent in the symptoms with the upgrades. I tried also downgrading to version 3, and it sill crashes. Although in some cases I can get around by saving the PDFs for reading them through Acrobat on my PC, it is a hassle as I do not want to save everything to my drive just to see what it is, plus sometimes forms are generated on a click and I cannot see these forms at all.
I had to migrate to Chrome as I needed the PDFs and could not wait any longer - any suggestions to make Mozilla work again would be appreciated.Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] after enabling only the PDF plugin in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''' > '''Plugins'''.

I have recently upgraded to 10.0 and whenn using Flash Player in Fullscreen it behaves badly. Starts pausing frequently for aroun a second. It's annoying. When I escape fullscreen and run it within the Browser panel it's fine.. Other Browsers work fine in Full Screen Mode. Tried it with IE and Google Chrome. Firefox is my default Browser so my preferred option.

I promise to refrain from venting my disgust :-) but when FF 9 blew up the entire web. I had all kinds of issues so I did things like Bill Gates taught us to do. I re-installed windows 7, brand new, formatted HD and all. The very first thing I did was open IE to download FF29 from the mozilla site and it installed. I went to pages I know have fits with flash on purpose, www.nydailynews.com, for instance and got the message that no flash was installed, do I want to install it? Well, yes, I have brand new FF on a brand new computer, so to ahead. Did the usual, installed Flash, shut down, and even rebooted the computer, and golly gee, the web pages tell me I have no flash installed. Its in IE, and of course chrome, and it appears in the installed program control panel, but I can't use flash with FF 29.
I wiped the hard drive and reinstalled win 7, then installed ff 28. Went to adobe and installed their latest flash version, and still no flash in any version of firefox. I also checked the option to never update, but when I rebooted an opend FF29, it miraculously turned into FF29, and of course still does not work with the flash plugin.
I think firefox has had a world of trouble with Adobe Flash for over a year and have hoped for a solution. Basically a browser that cannot run Flash media is totally useless. I wonder why this problem was no addressed and corrected, when instead all the the resources were put into raping my computer and forcing FF29 onto it?
I am not a cry baby, who wants to complain, but will you please fix this issue so I don't have to abandon my favorite browser.. I don't enjoy Chrome, and IE is just not an option for me.
Before you make any moreoverhauls on the UI, could you fix the problems with flash. I find it a little condescending to tell a 25 year user of computers to make sure " you have the latest versions" when in fact I have a brand new install of windows and the very latest from Adobe and Mozilla and they do no wok together, even when I down grade to FF 28, which as I told you, automatically upgrades to FF 29 each time I boot up.
Please help. IF installing the latest Adobe onto a brand new hard drive and install of windows 7 fails, what do you suggest, as the usual " version issue" cannot apply here.
FWIW, I have vista on my laptop with the same problems, the same reinstalls and the same guaranteed latest versions. Since the hd is formtted, there cannot be an residual FF dlls hanging around or in the registry.
I have always seen open source as the way to the future, since the first PC arrived, but its looking like a bad idea.
If you want to build a firefox that works, I will pay for it, so long as I can get help when things break. Browsers are huge in the web, so paying for reliable performance seems like a fair thing to do.
I am sorry, but I am frustrated at the lack of progress towards a solution and really do not wish to be told to see if I am using the latest versions. I have taken every step possible and gone all the way to a brand new machine and FF does not work with flash reliably.
Help? Please?

<sub>edit: removed your mail address from public display, since the only thing it will attract are spam bots. you will be notified per mail once somebody replies to the thread. (philipp)</sub>adobe test page says it is installed. but I said, some pages I visit say I don't have it installed.
I use prefbar ( I delete it and reinstall to make sure its not an issue) usually because it lets me turn off flash and avoid the crashing and locking up but when I check the flash block on prefbar, it says " plugin is not loaded"
I posted from the machine that does not work, but it does not work on my Vista Laptop, or my daughter's computer either. In all cases, I wiped the drives and reinstalled the OS and went directly to Firefox for 29 and to adobe for their latest.
Flash IS installed on my machine... It works in IE, and Chrome, but firefox 29 does not install the flash plugin, even tho the installer says all is well
The reason I went totally clean is to make sure there was no process blocking it or if Java was creating the issue as well. The reality is, I started with a brand new computer, three times, and Flash will not load into Firefox 29 in any case
I have started clean many times now and backed up and installed ff 28. I had no problem with the flash plugin using ff28, . I would have stayed there, but when shut down ff 28 and opened it later, it "magically downgraded to version 29" and i do mean " downgraded -( even tho I had gone into options and said do not install updates.
I am grateful for your attention. I find that web browsers are very important anymore, an a non functional one makes the web a waste. I mentioned www.nydailynews.com and would really not want to make a long list of every page that demands a flash plugin, for they are legion that I don't have, mostly because when the page wants flash, FF locks up. Its will not even let me copy the URL to try and make a list, but the browser is totally locked up and I have to kill the process I get the message I have been getting for about a year that the shockwave plugin has stopped working. There is no shockwave on my computer.
I know it looks like I have two different problems as the plugin does not load, but for instance, when I got it worrking in FF28, it loaded but constantly crashed an locked up the browser with the shockwave message, even tho I never install shockwave any time
Frustration is the word for the day, or the week :-)
Thanks much
Kind regards,

APSB11-05 Does not update the version of ActiveX flash plugin in Add and Remove Programs
After installing the latest update for flash player and ActiveX flash plugin the version of adobe flash plugin remains with the old version, when it actually updated the plugin. The only way to get it to update is by removing previous version and do a clean install. This can certainly affect our software inventories.
Is anybody else experiencing this?
Thank you in advanceHi, It has always been recommended to Uninstall any current version of Flash Player prior to Installing the update.
Flash Player doesn't "add" to what is already there, it's a complete new version.
I'm not clear on your setup or software inventories. Perhaps some more information would help.
Thanks,

Flash plugin hangs all browsers on my mac
Starting about a week ago, about 1/3 of sites that use flash cause my browser to hang. It's not browser specific - happens the same in Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Symptom is complete freeze of the browser, requiring force quit. An easy reproduce is http://www.chase.com ; that site crashes my browser with 100% repeatability.
Disabling the flash plugin completely fixes the problem, but then I can't see flash content.
System details:
OS: Mac OS X 10.5.8
Hardware: Mac Pro Quad-core 2.66Ghz
Flash player version: 10.0.43_34
Browser: All
I have already tried all of the following:
• Uninstalling / reinstalling flash player.
• Deleting/rebuilding browser profiles
• Installing every version of player 10.x available in the archive, and a couple versions of 9.x ... all cause the same problem.
Interesting note:
• Problem does not occur on my MacBook Pro, which has a nearly identical software configuration.
I have filed a bugreport, but what good does that do me? I don't even have privileges to view the bugreport, so I don't know whether it's been responded to or not. In the meantime, half the web is unusable because everybody uses flash.I had this exact same problem with my macbook pro 2.6Ghz laptop
I was running OSX 10.5.7 with flash 8 or so when some websites I frequent forced me to upgrade. The player didn't work off the bat and after re installing the player as well as all my browsers, repairing permissions I was starting to lose hope. I got the latest system update to 10.5.8 and afterward determined it was the plugin itself that was the problem. Couldn't fix it by removing the plugin from my library files, and even worse couldn't find Flash 8 or 9 ANYWHERE to downgrade.
The installer itself is pretty useless as you can only choose the drive to install the plugin and not integrate it seperately into your browsers as you choose. I suppose this is for convenience, but when it doesn't work it's a real bummer. Some linux users I know have far more problems with flash 10 than I do, so I'm thankful to have recieved at least minimal support for my platform from Adobe.
I hypothesized that Adobe simply did not create a very versatile plugin, and that since everyone and their dog has snow leopard (with no flash problems whatsoever) that snow leopard managed to recieve better support. Sure enough installing snow leopard and re-installing the plugin has yielded no problems so far. Good thing I had a free snow leopard upgrade disk with my computer or I, like many other people here, would still be unsatisfied.
What has flash 10 done for me that flash 8 hasn't? Nothing but headaches so far.
Overall Adobe satisfaction rating: 3/10
You guys have made great code in the past! Stop being lazy! -
tried re-installing firefox and the flash plugins. set all the setting in the applications preferences to prompt(no prompts received), tried disabling all the plugins expecting messages that plugin in missing or disabled(no message). No problems with Safari.
Actually, I've usually always had this problem with every version of Firefox. Seems like it was fixed for a while, but I worked on it so long I don't remember if or what the fix was. Does anyone know if there is a tool to right-click a link or file and open in another browser so we can view flash videos?

FireFox opens & Adobe Flash Plugin crashes in a WOT "automatic" download.
WOT “automatically downloads” on a separate tab every time I start FireFox. Almost every time I start FireFox the Adobe Flash Plugin crashes in the WOT automatic download and ties up my PC. The problem does not occur with Internet-Explorer which I seldom use.
1- I removed WOT and re-installed it, but it continued the same.
2- I reinstalled the Adobe Flash Plugin which I always keep up to date.
3- Please work this out.
4- Why must WOT automatically download on a separate tab every time I start FireFox? It is very annoying.

A couple days ago out of nowhere Firefox was crashing whenever i went to... well, most websites. Most noticeably Youtube and Tumblr. So I downloaded the newest versions of firefox and a plugin that was out of date, and the Flash plugin. It still crashed-- nothing changed.
So I moved on to Safari, it didnt crash when i went onto those sites. but i get a pop up message all the time, especially on those sites...

thats the message.. theres a lot more. But that makes me think its something wrong with the Flash plugin. Maybe the same thing is wrong with Firefox...
I have tried uninstalling with the uninstaller from the adobe website and reinstalling.
Is anyone else having this problem?
How do I fix it?I believe the WebKitPlugInHost needs to be updated for Safari as It crashes whenever I am playing FarmVille on FaceBook.

Can I have an image as a back up in case flash doesnt load?
Hi, I was thinking....for all those people that come to my site - is it possible to have a back up image if the flash doesnt load?
The current code is:
<div id="mainBanner">
<div id="so1351">You will need flash to view this element<script type="text/javascript">
var so1351 = new SWFObject("/media/11695/29042009.swf", "flash", "994", "224", "8", "#FFFFFF");
so1351.write("so1351");
</script></div>
</div>
Anyone know? All comments very appreciated!wow - thanks for your advice.
Would that be simple code like <img src="/image.jpg">?
Really? Wouldnt that overide the flash or doesnt it work like? I guess I need to try and see first.....
thanks again, any additional comments would be very gratefully received.
