Flash Plugin not using Firefox's proxy settings

Hello there
after observing that we cannot watch some videos (for example
<
http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/media/flexapp/>
or <
http://news.zdnet.com/2422-13569_22-204568.html>)
behind our company's proxy and firewall, I talked to our network
admins and they showed me that on some websites (not YouTube or the
like) it seems like the Firefox Flash plugin doesn't use the proxy
settings from Firefox but rather tries to directly connect to the
respective server, which of course times out. Using Internet
Explorer works perfectly. Has anyone had this problem and knows of
any work arounds or fixes?
Hope someone an help me/us.
Greetings from Germany
Michael

I am facing a similar issue with the flash content on my website (appnina.com). Any flash content is not displayed on my website.
The problem is because of using flash plugin in Mozilla Firefox (21.0 - updated). The flash plugin does not get activated by default. That is whenever opening the site, the flash content is not displayed. It asks to click the activate button. This activation should be one time, however it always asks to do so whenever opening the site.
I just checked and found that this flash problem is not specific to my website but in general (youtube as well).
Let me put the screen shot of the same.
Any permanent solution to this. Let me check if I can delete the old plguin and download it again to solve this issue.
The problem seems to be because of compatibility problem of firefox with flash.
PS: Let me know if I need to start a new discussion thread on this ?

  • Using OSX 10.8 DW CS6 when I click "live" it says "flash plugin" "not found".

    Using DW CS6 when I click "live" it says "Flash Plugin was not found. To view Flash content in Live View install the Firefox Flash Plugin from www.adobe.com."
    My default browser is Chrome. DW uses Chrome as the primary browser. (FFox is secondary.)
    I do have Firefox and do not have Flash on it. I open Flash content Chrome, and I installed an HTML5 video viewer add-on in FFox (but haven't tried it yet).
    I also have the Dreamweaver HTML5 Video View add-on, so why am I getting that message? Furthermore, the HTML code doesn't have any Flash objects. (The code is the source HTML from www.google.com page, without any changes.)
    How do I make DW display the "Live" view of the code without giving me an error? (My end goal is to find out what google does when you enter something in the search box and hit the Enter key, actually, I'd like to see why the result of the search is displayed the way it is - default should be Web view, but Image view shows instead. I want Web to show!)

    "Why would anybody paste Google's source code into their own web page?" To learn from it.
    I'm sorry Phil, but you can't learn much from Google's source code because search engines are dynamically programed with behind-the-scenes code and content from databases that you can't see.  You're just spinning your wheels here.  If you want to learn how to make a search engine, I'd be happy to point you to some relevant PHP & MySql tutorials.
    The issue still remains that DW is giving me the error (flash plugin not found)
    When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW

  • Where can I read the proxy settings Firefox chose, when configured to use "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network"?

    I would like to set my system network proxy settings to those, Firefox chose. Firefox is configured to use "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network" and this works fine. How can I read out the settings Firefox chose, so I can adapt these system?

    Hello Richard,
    Download MozBackup and make a backup of your bookmarks and passwords. Uninstall firefox and remove ALL folders with the name "Firefox".

  • Firefox 4 proxy settings do not save after I change them.

    Every time I restart Firefox the proxy settings are changed to "manual" and it has a specific HTTP proxy address and port set. A few days ago I ran AVG's PC TuneUp and it optimized Firefox and my internet connection. I thought this might be the problem but after disabling it, Firefox 4 still doesnt work unless I change the settings myself every time. Help?

    Ok I fixed it.. It was my Wolfram-Alpha search engine add on
    If your proxy settings are going crazy, open the Add-on manager, disable one, restart firefox, continue until you figure out which one is messing up the settings.

  • How to intercept the Adobe Flash plugin block by firefox checking for vulnerabilities?

    The trouble is the grey block, that asking to update Adobe Flash because the version is vulnerability.

    How to intercept the Adobe Flash plugin block by Firefox checking for vulnerabilities from JavaScript code?

    hello, i don't think that this would be possible (but i'm not sure). what you could do is try to sniff the version of flash that is installed & the firefox useragent and just assume that old versions of the plugin will be blocked in this combination.
    if you need more help about that, i'd recommend posting in a forum that is more specialized & knowledgeable in web development like http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25, since we here on the firefox support forums are primarily focused on support for end-users...

  • PowerShell 4.0 ISE doesn't use the system proxy settings

    I can retrieve the contents of a URL using something like 'iwr
    http://www.adobe.com' in the command-line PowerShell host.
    This takes into account the proxy settings in Control Panel / Internet Options.
    If I attempt the exact same thing in the PowerShell ISE, I get:
    iwr : The remote name could not be resolved: 'www.adobe.com'
    This works only if I add the -Proxy and -ProxyUseDefaultCredentials options.
    How comes?
    How do I fix this?

    I hate to say, but I don't understand how what I see is compatible with your statement.
    Let me show what I'm experiencing with more details.
    Here's what I get without any proxy options from powershell.exe:
    PS 4.0 ~> $r = iwr http://www.adobe.com
    PS 4.0 ~> $r -eq $null
    False
    PS 4.0 ~> $r.GetType()
    IsPublic IsSerial Name                                     BaseType
    True     False    HtmlWebResponseObject                    Microsoft.PowerSh...
    and here's what I get from the ISE:
    PS ~> $r = iwr http://www.adobe.com
    iwr : The remote name could not be resolved: 'www.adobe.com'
    At line:1 char:6

       equestCommand
    PS ~> $r -eq $null
    True
    If the CmdLet requires the -proxy option, how do you explain the results I get without the option from powershell.exe?
    Next to that, here's what netsh reports:
    PS 4.0 ~> netsh winhttp show proxy
    Current WinHTTP proxy settings:
        Direct access (no proxy server).
    This is not what I have under "Internet Options", where "Automatically detect settings" and "Use automatic configuration script" are both checked. But IIRC from the proxycfg.exe days this reports the "system-wide"
    proxy settings, not the per-user proxy settings.

  • Way to Upgrade Memory for Flash Plugin (v11) for Firefox (v10)?

    Hello!
    I've been searching far and wide for an answer to this to no avail, so I'm hoping someone here can help me.  As a part of my position at work, I am trying to work with a web-based Flash application connected to a Java back-end server.  The data being rendered on the Flash side is very large and expansive, with many containers/layers involved.  Since the processing seems to stall, then eventually crash the Flash Plugin in Firefox, is there any way to bump up the memory assigned to the Flash Plugin from within Firefox?  I did see that the memory allocation is controlled by the browser, not the Flash Plugin, but I have been unable to find any place that describes how to accomplish this memory adjustment within firefox for flash plugin at all.
    Thanks, in advance, for your help!

  • Excel 2010 not using the default print settings

    Currently got an issue with Excel 2010 not using the default print settings for a couple of users on our network,
    basically when pressing cntrl P or selecting the print option from the file menu the printer settings are different to the print settings selected in the devices and printers menu, we have checked the print drivers etc but this has still not resolved the
    issue, all other office programs are fine and also other users are reporting this issue more and more with different printers,
    tried restarting print spooler service and re-installing office but this has come to no avail,
    any ideas would be much appreciated!

    Hi,
    This issue occurs because the Page Setup settings that you specify in your file override the settings that you specify in the printer driver properties.
    To work around this issue, do not specify the paper size, page orientation, or page margins in the printer driver properties. Instead, specify these settings in your workbook.
    To specify these settings, follow these steps:
    1.Start Excel, and then open the workbook you want to change.
    2.In Microsoft Office Excel 2010, click the sheet that you want to print, and then click the Page Layout tab. In the Page Setup group, click Page Setup to open the Page Setup dialog box.
    3.Click the Page tab.
    4.Under Paper size, click the paper size that you want.
    5. Click Options button and in Printing Shortcuts tab, in the Paper source area, perform one of the following steps:  ◦If the printer can automatically select the correct paper tray to use, click Default tray in the First page list, and then click Default
    tray in the Other pages list.
    Default tray is the default setting in both of these lists.
    ◦If the printer cannot automatically select the correct paper tray to use, you may have to select the paper tray that contains the paper size that you selected in step 4.
    To do this, click the appropriate paper tray in the First page list and in the Other pages list.
    6.If you want to change the page orientation or its page margins, click the Finishing tab.
    7.Select the options that you want.
    8.Click OK.
    9.Repeat steps 2 to 8 for each sheet of your workbook for which you want to specify settings.

  • Make Flash Plug-In for Firefox Remember Privacy Settings for Camera and Mic Access on Local File

    My company is using Flash Player to develop some kiosk-style applications to run on a standalone computer (no network connection). This computer will contain web pages containing Flash content. They will be opened from the local HD with Firefox with the Adobe Flash plug-in (v11.7.700.224). One of the applications accesses the microphone hooked up to the computer. When this application is started, it always asks for permission for "local" to access the microphone and camera. In previous versions of our system, we could click "Remember" if we did it once and that would make it so it wouldn't ask for permissions again (in this case, the Remember option isn't available, and the site settings don't even offer the Privace tab). However, in the previous case, we were running IE with a previous ActiveX Flash version (unfortunately, this approach is no longer available as we have had to switch to Windows 8 and that changes the game with IE and Flash entirely).
    At this point, we have tried to use the Global Settings for "Camera and Microphone Settings by Site..." to enter "Local" as an always allowed site. This does not seem to have any effect. We also tried entering the root directory of the applications in "Trusted Location Settings", but that also seemed to have no effect.
    I'm not sure what has fundamentally changed here. I think there might be some differences in the Plug-In version (compared to ActiveX), but I'm not sure what they might be or how to do the same thing as before.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    Torrey

    Chris,
    We learned that the Privacy tab (in Settings) can be found under the Flash plug-in for Firefox, but only if Firefox is running under an administrator.
    Unfortunately, we haven't had much luck with the mms.cfg file. The following was used in the mms.cfg file (placed in both the %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash and %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash” directories):
    AVHardwareDisable = 0
    AVHardwareEnabledDomain = local
    AVHardwareEnabledDomain = 127.0.0.1
    AVHardwareEnabledDomain = localhost
    AutoUpdateDisable = 1
    The AVHardwareEnabledDomain settings seem to be getting ignored regardless of whether the user is a standard user or an administrator. I also checked to make sure it wasn't just a local problem by going to a website that uses a microphone (http://www.testden.com/accent-reduction/systemcheck.htm). Adding the requested domain to the list (AVHardwareEnabledDomain = train.act360.com) still didn't bypass the allow/deny dialog box.
    We know that the mms.cfg file is being read because setting "AVHardwareDisable = 1" will result in no prompt and that section being greyed out in Global Settings. I saw a post that suggested this setting was required to even make the AVHardwareEnabledDomain work, but it seems to block the local entirely and still brings up the dialog query on the internet site.
    Thanks,
    Torrey
