Flash updates in IE but not in Firefox?

Hello,
My computer is less than a month old with a fresh install of Win 7 64 bit OS, IE Explorer (version 8.07600.16385, 32 BIT) and Firefox (version 3.6.8). I can successfully update flash on IE when I use the 32 bit version of IE. (currrent installed flash version is: 10.1.53.64) However, I cannot get flash to download properly on Firefox. I do follow the adobe directions, ie: download file from adobe site, select proper OS, select other browser, and allow DLM to load. Unforuntately, DLM will not complete it's download, hanging at ~320 kb. The same thing happens when I first use the adobe flash UNinstaller, reboot, then attempt to download flash on FF. Again, DLM hangs at the ~320 kb download point with FF but will download and properly install flash in 32 bit IE. Is it not possible to have flash on both IE and FF? (I know it possible with a 32 bit XP OS but there appears to be major issues with Win 7 64 bit). FF is my preferred browser but my family prefers IE so I need flash on both....
Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

Hi, well that is strange indeed. Did you have all browsers closed? That is necessary when Uninstalling as well. Since you have a gaming system, then I would imagine you have system processes limited? I wouldn't think that should enter into it since you say you can download other programs. Do you use a Router? What kind of Firewall(software) do you use?
You couldn't download the Installer and put it on your Desktop? Or when you ran it the Installer didn't work for you?
How did you manage to get it Installed in IE?
I'm not too clear on what is taking place.
Thanks,

Got a new dell laptop. adobe flash works on IE but not with Firefox. Manual installation failed. help!

When trying to install adobe plugin, it fails, as does trying to do it manually. When trying manually, it says to close firefox then it will work but it doesn't. Again, when under IE, adobe flash works but I prefer Firefox.

In step one you would have downloaded that file, if Firefox is using the normal configurations you should find it in the same location where you download any other files.
To find out where Firefox downloads files, in the options window go to the general panel and it should show where files are downloaded to. Alternatively if Firefox stores the history of downloaded files, open the downloads window (you can do that by using keyboard shortcut Control+J), right-click on the install_flash_player.exe entry in the download window and select "Open containing folder"

Flash in Safari but not in Firefox or vice versa?

Can I have Adobe Flash enabled on Safari, but not on Firefox?
I'd like regular, usable browser and one very safe, minimal browser.

HI,
Not sure if that is possible but an alternative is to use ClickToFlash available here.
Free, easy to install, compatible with Safari 5 + and Snow Leopard v10.6.4
http://clicktoflash.com/
When you visit a site where Flash content is streamed, just control or right click to start Flash.

You can try if it works if you disable OOPP (Out-Of-Process-Plugins) for Flash

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped

Firefox has suddenly gone wrong. I was successfully running both Firefox and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7. My laptop is new and has plenty of RAM and HDD. I auto-accept upgrades including the most recent Firefox upgrade and the suggested upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1. But after this, Firefox stopped working and does not work when I re-load Firefox 3.6. Also IE8 now works very slowly and does not locate major websites like Microsoft without a 'can't find the website message' and having to pressing Return a second time. When I do get to the Mozilla website and click on the button to try to download Firefox 3.6.6, I get this message "Oops! Internet Explorer could not find mozilla3.snt.utwente.nl". Can you help with what has gone wrong? As it stands, I can't use Firefox at all. Note: because Firefox did not work after the upgrade, I've downloaded the IE8 version of the Adobe Flash 10.1. What I really want is to be able to use both Firefox and IE8. But is this possible if they use different versions of Adobe Flash?

I have been having the same problem as the original poster. After upgrading to Ffx 3.6.6, the program asks you to upgrade to Flash Player Plugin 10.1. I download and installed 10.1 only to find videos weren't loading.
In my case, the problem is the previous installation of Flash Player (9.0.47) was somehow messing things up. To fix this, because I already had Flash plugin 10.1 installed I had to uninstall 10.1 using the uninstaller from adobe and then manually remove any files related the old flash player plugin 9.0.47
Here is a run-down of my process:
0. To check if you have a previous installation of the Flash Plugin lurking around, in Firefox go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins (tab). At this point you may seen both Flash plugins.
1. Proceed to uninstall Flash Plugin 10.1. Adobe provides an uninstaller here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
( you have to make sure you have nothing running when you execute the installer).
2. On my Mac (sorry I don't know what it is in Windows) I searched the hard drive for any files/folders with "Shockwave". I found a folder called "Shockwave 10". It wasn't removed by Adobe's uninstaller. For safety I deleted it and then emptied the trash.
3. I then went to My HD -> Library -> Internet Plugins.
Remove the file and folder named "Flash player.old"
4. Restarted; ran the Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installer. Restarted again.
5. Opened up ffx and double checked the plugins list (see step 1). Version 10.1 is installed and available. Went to problem sites to test it out and Success!
Hope this helps.

I get sound when using my MacPro with Safari but not with Firefox.

Did you check the volume setting in the player to make sure that the sound isn't muted?

IOError in IE but not in Firefox (possible crossdomain.xml problem)

Yesterday, I hopefully debugged a problem that is occuring for our application in IE but not in Firefox.
It has to do with accessing remote content from a separate domain.
In every aspect it APPEARS to be a crossdomain.xml issue but the fact that this issue only arrises in IE is what has prompted me to post here.
We have a solution in the works (bureaucratically speaking) but I want to double check here.
Our application is on domain "a.domain".
It access an xml file on "b.domain/xml/".
And finally (this is the tricky part) it also accesses an xml file at "b.domain/forwardingPath/" which is actually forwarded to "c.domain/xml/".
The crossdomain.xml is located at "b.domain/crossdomain.xml".
The request for "b.domain/xml/anXMLFile.xml" works without any problem.
The request for "b.domain/forwardingPath/anotherXMLFile.xml" succeeds in Firefox but not in IE (remember, the ACTUAL request is forwarded to "c.domain/xml/anotherXMLFile.xml").
In IE I get an IOError.
I believe we need an appropriate crossdomain.xml file also located at "c.domain/crossdomain.xml" and have put in that request. What I want to confirm is whether this understanding is correct. I am not a server-side person at all. It's all elves and fairies to me. And then finally, why the hell is this behavior inconsistent between IE and Firefox? Is the Firefox version of flash player violating its own security standards?!
I am cross-posting this at stack overflow. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7395931/ioerror-in-ie-but-not-in-firefox-possible-cross domain-xml-problem

I've pinged our developers about this and here's what they have to say:
"We did some work for the plugin around redirects andhence the correct behavior on Firefox.
AFAIK, on IE we don't get notified of the redirect and can't participate in making security decisions during redirect scenarios. This behavior is out of our control.
There is a workaround documented in the AS3docs here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/system/LoaderCont ext.html#checkPolicyFile
Here is the pertinent paragraph:
Be careful with checkPolicyFile if you are downloading anobject from a URL that may use server-side HTTP redirects. Policy files arealways retrieved from the corresponding initial URL that you specify inURLRequest.url. If the final object comes from a different URL because of HTTPredirects, then the initially downloaded policy files might not be applicableto the object's final URL, which is the URL that matters in security decisions.If you find yourself in this situation, you can examine the value ofLoaderInfo.url after you have received a ProgressEvent.PROGRESS orEvent.COMPLETE event, which tells you the object's final URL. Then call theSecurity.loadPolicyFile() method with a policy file URL based on the object'sfinal URL. Then poll the value of LoaderInfo.childAllowsParent until it becomes true."

Unable to copy paste from a popup that is part of a specific software. I can do this in IE, but not in Firefox

We use BMC Remedy (ITSM) to track our work and it has a popup for the expiry date for each ticket. When I click on the link, a box pops up with the information, everything except the expiry date can be highlighted, but it is the expiry date that I need to copy. I can copy this info when in IE, but not in Firefox. We are not allowed to install anything on our computers directly from the internet.

You are using a version of Firefox that is 10 versions behind it's supported version. It is not safe to use on the internet. Please either update to Firefox 30, or contact your company's IT department for an update.

Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.

Footer content is centered in IE, but NOT in Firefox (or Safari) *PLS HELP!!!

Please check out our website and please let us know why the footer content is centered in IE, but NOT in Firefox (or Safari)? The footer contains a simple div / table ?? with just a couple of icons to the left, a copyright link in the center, and a Facebook "Like" link to the right. It looks perfect in IE, but when you view it in Firefox, it ends up appearing all the way to the LEFT side of the footer!!! PLEASE HELP - THANK YOU!!!!!!
The site is www.PartyGirlRocks.com

[http://example.com link text]It ended up being a lack of the <center> code. Thank you so much for your quick reply & advice. I now have another cross-browser issue, this time with Facebook "Like" code, but want to respect the forum rules & unsure if I need to post this new issue elsewhere...??
Bascially the Facebook "Like" code has 3 options 1) Simple LIKE button, 2) LIKE Box, 3) LIKE Button along with several "friends" faces.
I have option #1 (Simple LIKE Button) on all 5 web pages and it works great on all browsers; however...
I have option #3 (Like Button With friend's Faces on One page
http://www.partygirlrocks.com/site/index-3.html
and it works fine in Firefox & Safari, but NOT in IE!!!
Ironically a flip-flop of my earlier issue. I don't know whether to laugh or cry, but I'm ready to rip my hair out. I know it may be Facebook specific, but any help would be greatly appreciated as social media is important.
Thank you,
Tony (Partygirl)

Document.all doesn't work in Firefox, you need to use document.getElementById().<br />
See https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/document.getElementById
<pre><nowiki> var parseYear = parseInt(document.all.year [document.all.year.selectedIndex].text);
var newCal = new Date(parseYear , document.all.month.selectedIndex, 1);
