Flash stopped working in Firefox

Hi there,
  I have
- Flash player (11.2.202.235)
- Firefox (13.0, as of this morning)
- (64 bit) Windows 7 Professional
  Flash no longer works (in IE or Firefox, fine in Chrome) - I don't know if this happened as the result of an update. I have tried uninstalling Flash (and Firefox), deleting the contents of the various Flash-related folders, and re-installing, but to no avail. After installing Flash player again, this page:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/aih/?exitcode=0
briefly shows some Flash once, but if I return to it this no longer works, there's just a blank space that's eventually replaced with a banner ad.
  Anyone got any tips as to how to get this running again?
  Thanks,
Toby

I am still having this issue. Those flash sites mentioned above, I've found that, just as said, one works while the other does not. However, that site that it does work on seems to be the exception, not the rule. It's the only flash I've found that does work.
Also, unlike some of these people, I know EXACTLY when my flash stopped working. I was streaming the DOTA 2 competitions online when the update box came up, encouraging me to update. I put it off for an hour or two, then ran the suggested update, right at the beginning of a match I was very interested in. Well, at the end of the update, Adobe wanted me to reset Firefox, so I did. When I went back to the site, I could no longer stream. I'm fairly computer oriented, growing up in a geek home, so it didn't take me more then 5 minutes to figure out the source of the issue. Upon checking flash on a few other sites, I knew the problem was universal.
I immediately uninstalled 11.3 it and reinstalled the previous version, 11.2.200.235. The flash then worked perfectly again and all was well. This was the 8th I believe.
Well, like an idiot, while doing something else, the update suggestion came up about an hour ago and I allowed it to update. I assumed that this previous issue had been universal, so naturally this was a new update that wouldn't have to problem. Oh, how wrong I was. Exactly the same problem has returned. In an effort to correct the problem, as I did before, I tried to resort to a previous version of flash. However, since a few days have past, I can no longer FIND that version. And I am not a happy camper.
I want to that site, where the one flash works, and disabled the accelloration thing in the settings (it should be noted that, for the before mentioned site where flash won't load, you CAN'T right click to get to settings, because there is just a white, empty screen. Right clicking doesn't do anything). I then looked for anything else that might be a problem (for example, I gave the system unlimited data storage).
Also, I am running Firefox 13, just as I was BEFORE your flash update. It was working just fine. Yes, I am sure of that.
No, I don't have any issues with my physical memory space, I have plenty, so that sure isn't the issue either.
Please, figure out what the heck your update screwed up in Firefox and fix it. In the meantime, please send me a copy of the 11.2.200.235 update, so I can actually function again. I know 11.3 has security hole fixes (yes, I read up on it). Screw the "fixes," I just want to be able to use my internet again! I have things I need to get done. Thank you for your product, we are all very grateful for it. However, it is a major problem for me when it stops working suddenly. In the meantime, I have to use Chrome, which I don't prefer, as all my settings are in Firefox.
Thank you for your time, as well as your quick reply.

  • [solved] Sound in flash stopped working (alsa, x86_64, rate)

    Why?
    Sound in flash stopped working (alsa, firefox, x86_64). Tried flashplugin-prerelease from archlinuxfr: nothing different.
    Everything worked before I rebooted. I changed nothing else since last reboot.  Can't figure out what happened.
    Updates among other things:
    firefox, xulrunner (firefox I did restart - the new one had sound in flash before I rebooted)
    openal, lib32openal (don't think that has anything to do with it?)
    libsndfile (that's something entirely different, too, right?)
    And a lot of others that don't look related... no Idea how many really, I haven't rebooted in quite a while. Maybe there even was a kernel update since last reboot. Or two.
    edit: Also some interactive flash stuff that did work before has stopped working now.
    edit2: Chromium doesn't have sound in flash either. Tried recompiling firefox / switching to AUR/firefox-pgo: no change. Everywhere else, sound is working fine. Also, several flash games I tried get stuck / freeze after intro.
    Thx!

    Couldn't find any changes there:

    Subdevices: 1/1
    Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
    I tried the multilib version and the x86_64 prerelease. Both did work perfectly fine before I rebooted (I tried which one works better recently and couldn't see any real difference). Didn't have trouble with flash for months before this reboot.
    I found a few modules I was unfamilliar with were loaded:
    snd_seq_os snd_seq_dummy snd_seq_midi_event  snd_seq snd_seq_device   
    ... and removed them with rmmod. No change. (I should have restarted alsa at that point I guess just to make sure, those weren't the problem?)
    Then I changed the rate in asound.conf to 41000 and restarted alsa - now everything works again! Strangely, no more freezes too (those were reliable).
    I remember having had problems with flash not having sound unless I set the rate to 41000 about a year ago. After some updates, I tried again and all rates supported by my sound-card seemed to work. My guess would be regression in whatever fixed that problem... but I don't know.
    I'll leave that "unsolved" until I manage to figure out what it really was about.

  • Flash suddenly stopped working in Firefox

    Hi
    Over the last month or so I've updated Firefox and Flash a couple of times, and at some point flash stopped working and no longer loads videos. For example videos on youtube, or bbc iplayer don't play. I'm not sure at exactly what point it stopped working, and therefore don't know what I could undo.
    In firefox plugins page flash v16.0.0.235 is showing up as installed and always active.
    I've tried uninstalling both firefox and flash and then downloading new installs and reinstalling with no change.
    I've also tried Mozilla's list of troubleshooting suggestions to no avail...
    Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems | Firefox Help
    Firefox version 34.0.5.
    I'm running Win 7 pro 64-bit, fully up to date.
    Any suggestions would be gratefully received as I am drawing a blank and don't understand why a fresh install of both programs doesn't fix the issue.
    Thanks in advance!
    Tom

    For anyone interested, I tried installing previous versions combinations, and for once it seems that it's Firefox where the problem lies.
    If I install Firefox v33 and Flash v16 then videos work fine.

  • FastFox, a program that can extend by me selected letters to words or whole sentences, and even draw up tables in Wikipedia, has stopped working in Firefox.

    FastFox, a program that can extend by me selected letters to words or whole sentences, and even draw up tables in Wikipedia, has stopped working in Firefox. FastFox has always worked very well with FastFox, but not anymore. FastFox still works excellent in Mozilla Thunderbird, Google Chrome and Safari, but not in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox 3.6.6. I need help with this because I am disabled after a meningitis caused by medical doctors in 2005. I rely on automatic writing programs, and unfortunately does not the alternative program AllChars work in Windows 7. I do not know of any other similar programs, which write "The United States of America" when I write the code that I have chosen - "USA+". I have not downloaded any new extentions to Firefox.

    Hello Stefan.
    Please contact FastFox's developers for support.

  • Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

    Question
    Firefox will not allow Flash player to work. Every site that uses Flash player gives me a message saying that I need to update to the latest version of Flash player, but I have done so, and I keep getting the same message. How do I enable Flash to work in Firefox? Thank you.

    You can hold down the Shift key and double click the Firefox desktop icon to start Firefox in [[Safe mode]].

  • Flash stopped working on 10.8

    As soon as I DL'd mountain lion, flash stopped working. Every time I DL the new flash player, I can't find it anywhere and no dialogue box pops up. I've made sure everything is "enabled" in privacy settings etc. Please help
    Thanks
    Peyton

    Try using the FlashPlayer uninstaller first. You can find it on Adobe's website. Then install the latest version of FlashPlayer also downloadable from Adobe's website.

  • Possible Work-around: Flash Player 11.5 stops working on Firefox 17

    On Windows Vista SP2, Firefox 17.01, and Flash Player 11.3 through 11.5.502.135, I have experienced repeated and consistent error messages saying that Flash Player has stopped working, and with r502.110 Firefox crashed after the first of these messages.
    Googling about, I found an old (3-year plus) work-around that some clever people have applied to the current Firefox and Flashplayer, and it works for my problems on my systems:
    Edit Firefox about:config, toggling the line “dom.ipc.plugins.flash.subprocess.crashreporter.enabled" from “true” to “false.” Close about:config, exit and restart Firefox.
    I do not know what an equivalent might be with IE, since the problem seems to occur there, too.
    I do not know whether this affects the FP sandbox, but have found no indication that FP sandbox functionality is affected or security compromised. Adobe engineers would have to answer that.
      Also, while they are answering protection questions, what is the effect of disabling Flash Player Protected Mode? This has been a suggested work-around by the staff here, but no one seems to know what the security exposure would be if the sandbox is disabled.

    We have a new 11.6 beta available that you might want to try.  In addition, please see this FAQ for Firefox troubleshooting steps.
    How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?

  • JavaScript code frequently stops working in Firefox 2.0.0

    == Issue
    ==
    Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
    == Description
    ==
    I have the following code in my JSP page. Based on some certain business logic I need to hide some toolbar buttons.
    <code>function displayToolbar()
    var oPageHeader = parent.window.frames[0];
    var aTDItems = oPageHeader.document.getElementsByTagName("td");
    for (i = 0; i < aTDItems.length; i++)
    if ("Loading view..." == aTDItems[i].getAttribute("title"))
    if(aTDItems[i].style.display == "none")
    aTDItems[i].style.display = "block";
    }</code>
    This works fine in Firefox 3.6.3.
    When it comes to FF2.0 it works for some time and then stops working. If I manually clear the browser cache, again it starts working.
    I can upgrade the browser to latest FF to fix it, but some of our customers use FF2.0.
    Any help or suggestion will be well appreciated.

  • Flash stopped working and won't reinstall, same error everytime.

    Nothing even changed. Just bam, stopped working. Got it to work once, second time it failed. Uninstalled the program I installed that was "not compatible with this version of windows" cleaned the registry, and restored to an earlier point...
    The problem is when I try to reinstall/repair/update the flash player from Adobe it fails every single effin' time D:

    You can find the latest Flash player for Firefox on this page.
    *http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    For Firefox on 64 bit Windows, you need the 32 bit Flash version version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

  • Printing function (to paper, and to pdf) stops working in Firefox 6.0

    All webpages give windows error (audible), but no error message, when printing with Ctrl+P. The same webpages will print in Microsoft IE 8.0.
    I have reset printer in Firefox, updated, un-installed, re-installed, all add-ins or extensions, when printing worked, but has since stopped working again. I have minimum add-ins and extensions 'enabled' now, and printing still does not work.
    Curiously, the Firefox, File, Print Preview menu option works to preview the webpage, but it is then unavailable for actual printing.
    Where on earth is the problem?
    Should I revert to previous Mozilla Firefox version?

    An automatic Firefox update from v6.0 to v8.0 yesterday had again prevented the same webpages being printed that previously worked fine (to paper or to pdf).
    These webpages will print to paper or pdf in IE8. The problem obviously lies with Firefox and its latest update. Pressing Ctr+P, an audible sound is heard once, and no print dialog box. in Firefox Menu Print-Preview the webpage is visible, but again Ctrl+P causes a warning sound, and no printing dialog box.
    I'm going to have to revert to a previous Firefox version.
    Anybody got a clue out there?

  • Flash not working in Firefox / Windows Update

    Flash content is not displaying at all for me in Mozilla
    Firefox (1.5.0.3, no extensions). I don't get the "additional
    plug-ins are required", and I don't even see the space displayed
    that the Flash object would take up on the screen.
    Flash content works fine in Internet Explorer and Opera. I
    had put this down as a Firefox issue, until the recent Microsoft
    Windows Update patch for Flash -- Windows keeps telling me that
    there is an update for the Flash player available that I should
    install, but the installation fails every time I try it.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing both Flash and
    Firefox, with no luck. Any suggestions on what I might try to clear
    this up? Obviously, I could tell Windows (XP SP2, updates current
    except this one) to ignore this patch, but I'd rather not do that
    if there is a potential security issue. Plus, I'd like to get Flash
    working again with Firefox.
