Flash wont work in firefox, does in IE

I was having a problem with flash player, I had someone from Verizon check out the settings and s/he tried flash in IE instead of firefox, and it worked. Are there any settings that might need to be changed in firefox so flash will work? Thanks in advance.

I have a desktop that I use with flas and firfox with no problem. The issue is on my laptop. I cant see anything using flash. If I go to a page that has a flash ad on it, I get an option to install missing plugins. If I go to a video, (like YT), I get a direct link to the flash download page.

Flash wont work in firefox 4 beta OR 3.6.3 in ubuntu

okay i got firefox 4 beta 11 and noticed flash player wasn't working. I decided to fix it later and went back to the version i previously used.
Flash wont work on there EITHER!
edit: firefox 3.6.3

If it is about a problem with a Firefox 4.0 beta version then you may need to post in the Firefox Builds forum on that site.

Does Gmail work better in a private browsing window? This is a test to see whether cookies are a factor. You can create a new private window by either:
* Pressing Ctrl+Shift+p
* orange Firefox button (or File menu) > New Private Window
More generally, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

I have 4 flash test files. Firefox does fine butv IE9 only displays two of them

I have 4 flash test files. Firefox does fine but IE9 only displays two of them. These display vertically and are just Flash moves of rolling text. Firefox diplays them fine but IE9 only shows two to them: 1 and 4a.
flash_words-1.swf
flash_words-2a.swf
flash_words-3a.swf
flash_words-4a.swf
Can anyone tell me how to fix it so that IE9 displays all four of them?
The URL is http://www.manhattes.com/home.html

On 1 and 4a you are using the gobbledegook of
AC_FL_RunContent
for Flash detection.
while 2 and 3 do not.
AC_FL_RunContent is a pretty old embed method so either apply that method to 2 and 3 or switch all 4 to swfobject:
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
or simply embed using a single <object> and no IE conditional statements ():
<object data="path_to_file/file.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="insert_width_of_movie" height="insert_height_of_movie">
<param name="movie" value="path_to_file/file.swf">
<param name="SomeOtherParam" value="ParamValue">
</object>

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]].

Forwards and backwards buttons wont work in firefox.

how do i get the backwards and forward buttons to work in firefox? I am using the anchors property but still doesnt work in firefox.IE is no problem though. I am a newbie,Been doing Flash for only 2 or 3 months. Trying to build a flash site for my business cause I can't stand HTML.Any thoughts is greatly appreciated.
Thanks much

Hi,
If you want a method that works everywhere, the best solutions for this is probably "Deep Linking", add-ons like SWFAddress (asual.com). This is mainly for SEO purposes, but at the same time it makes the back and forward buttons works.

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.

Can't get flash to work in firefox

On I. E. the flash movie works fine but when it is tried in firefox it doesn't appear. A right click of the mouse shows that the flash is there but it doesn't work. Is there something that has to be added or removed in order to make this work properly in firefox? Going to other sites and the flash works fine except when it comes to my site? There is a possibility that it is my coding but it was cut and paste from adobe. The rationale is that firefox should be able to handle this code but it doesn't? Any ideas?

Not meaning to give you mis-information. Am struggling to overcome this problem and have been able to get the firefox to host the embedded swf.
What has happened is that the web page has been recreated specifically for firefox. Being under the impression that if the embed was done on I. E. then it would tranfer to firefox automatically. This doesn't seem to be the case. In a workaround it was decided that re-doing the page would be the best way to go.
Your assistance has been and is very beneficial in that you made me aware of the publish aspect in flash. Imagine Homer Simpson giving his "D'oh!"
Not sure if what is being done is right but it works. Am able to send it to the server, able to see it working as needed and am now looking at reading the browser to send the right page.
Were it not for your information then there would be a whole lot of struggling left to do. Let me know if this is the right track, please.
Thank you!

I need to place the Maltese cross on a web page. IE works, Safari works, but Firefox does not. It is wingding character.

The Maltese cross is in the winding font family. I have the following HTML on the pages:
<pre><nowiki>
<span class="cross" style="font-family: wingdings; vertical-align: top;">X</span></nowiki></pre>
The inline element <span> tag is in a <font> tag.
CSS: span.cross { color: #000; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold; }
This has been working for years in IE 5, 6, 7 & 8, works also in safari (latest rev), but does not work in FireFox rev 4.0.1. FoxFire displays a large X instead of the Maltese cross.
Other than this small problem FoxFire works great, especially with HTML5 & CSS3.
Any help would be appreciated.
DonL

This concerns the Maltese cross problem. When I posted the problem, the data inside "<" and ">" characters is lost. The only thing that showed was the "X".
I posted the HTML used to display the cross w/o these chars.
span class="cross" style="font-family: wingdings; vertical-align: top" X /span
Thanks for any help.

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.

Gmail doesn't work in firefox; does work in internet explorer

Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
Firefox 27.0.1
IE 11.0.9600.16428
my email account is with gmail.com
Everything works fine with IE; I connect to my gmail account and everything works normally.
When I use Firefox, I can login to my gmail account with no problem, but when I open an
email message, I see the message for 2 or 3 seconds, then I get dumped to a "re-enter your password" page. When I login again, I'm sent back to the same email message, I see it for 2 or 3 seconds, then it's back to the "re-enter your password" page. It doesn't matter which email message I try to view; works fine in IE, but "re-enter your password" in Firefox.

Flash not working with Firefox

I have a site built using Dreamweaver and FD24 extensions for the Flash elements.
http://www.amesis.co.uk/redcard/
Until yesterday everything was fine. Still ok with IE ver 8.0.6001 and both Vista and XP operating systems
Flash ver 10.0.45.2 installed
However my client cannot see any of the flash images in the header and on the leisure page gallery (just a white box). The front side panel works ok on the home page
He is using Firefox. again ok yesterday. He has tried to reinstall the latest version of flash and received installation successful message.
Using the same PC's he can see if switches to IE
Would appreciate any help in getting this sorted nad what advice I can give him. It is essential that the site works with Firefox so need to resolve.
Thanks in anticipation
Ken

Hi ken, If I understand your post, you are wanting help for the Firefox user. And he has installed Flash Player using the FF
browser.
The first thing would be to (using FF), go to plug-ins and find the SWF plug-in, made sure it is vs 10.0.45.2 and is enabled.
And be sure there is only one listing of the SWF. If there is another listing, it needs removed/deleted.
Also, he can go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Find the Flash folder and post back all files listed there.
If he has installed Flash Player in IE, those files will be there also and the version numbers will be evident. However,
the files for FF will not be. The FF files are NPSWF32.dll and NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe. Right click on each and then click on
Properties to find the version numbers, which I need.
This is the best way to determine if the Flash Player files that are installed are correct and the FF plug-in is correct.
The IE equivalent to the FF plug-in is in the IE manage add ons and is listed as Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control..
Flash10e.ocx and must be enabled also.
Please let me know if I have not understood your post.
Thanks,

Google wont work with firefox or safari. Also google wont work on iphone

I am unable to connect to Google via Firefox or Safari. Google wont even work on my iphone. I can access other websites from my bookmarks but Google just wont work. It says it is busy or to check my settings but as I am able to connect to other sites, I think the problem is just with Google.
Any suggestions?
This problem happened after I tried to make an online purchase. I was unable to complete the purchase for some reason. I am not sure if the problem relating to Google is connected to this or just a coincidence.

Please post the complete, verbatim text of the error message, not a paraphrase.

Edit the code. Or remake the Flash insertion.
