Flashing/blinking black once awhile on certain website.

Firefox is flashing/blinking black once awhile on my desktop PC. It only happen on certain websites (such as facebook or my personalized iGoogle). It doesn't happen with Chrome nor IE. Weirdly, it doesn't have the same problem on my laptop...
To me, it sounds like certain components are triggering this, but I have no idea what it is... Anyone have similar experience/solution?? Thanks.

Comparing the two systems again, I think I figured out what caused it: '''Kaspersky URL Advisor'''. If I disabled it, the blinking stops. If anyone has a solution other than that, please reply. Thanks.

Flash Player won't load on certain websites

Hi all, I've downloaded the newest Flash Player and for some reason it won't load on certain websites. I have tried it on FIrefox, IE, and Chrome, and none work. All I get is a black screen. I've tried reinstalling browsers and flash, and even turning off my firewall etc. etc. Please help.
I'm using Windows 7 with everything updated as well.
Thanks.

Flash 9 doesn't work on certain websites

I have had this problem for months. I cannot see or hear
players on www.myspace.com
What the heck is wrong?
I use both IE 7, and Mozilla Firefox 2.0
Windows XP
Java installed... latest version
Shockwave installed... latest version
Someone please help me out. I have contacted this website
about this problem with no luck. Thank you!

Send your system specs to Adobe, with detailed information on
what is not working, and the exact Player version(9.what?). Player
9 currently has loads of system specific issues, help them fix it
by sending your data. No one here is going to be able to fix your
problem, other than suggesting to load an older version of the
Flash Player and see if that makes it go away:

Keep getting message to install a plugin (Flash player) to display content on certain websites.

After several installations of Adobe Flash the error message continues.

Make sure that the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled and not set to never activate.

Should I download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash to use with Lion? My need for Flash is very basic: Google Maps, YouTube, and content on certain websites. Thanks for any help you are able to provide.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I have read so many comments about Flash being incompatible with Lion I was wondering whether to download it or not. So many sites on the Web still require flash, however, you almost don't have a choice but to download it even if it is incompatible. I gather a better version of Flash will be available for Lion soon. Again, thanks for the help. I will download the latest version of Flash.

Cannot get Flash to work on certain websites

I am having problems getting the Flash Player to run on
certain websites. Those websites are ESPN.com and MLB.com. I am
running Vista and have Flash Player 9.0.45. Any solutions would be
greatly appreciated.

Bryce,
Did you try disabling ActiveX Filtering?

Can't view certain websites due to no adobe flash player....but safari @ ipad2 cant install the flash player. How to repair this?

Cant view certain website due to no adobe flash player but cant install flash player.
I'm using ipad2 ios 5.0.1

Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and they have recently announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, and there is the built-in YouTube app.

PLEASE help me!!! I,ve been all over looking for help/store or whatever to down load adobe flash player to open a certain website. I need that app or something similar. I am a first time iPad user and not that swift on a computer either

Please!!
help me down load adobe flash player or something similar for my iPad. I want to open a certain website and it's required. I don't know where to go. i am a first time iPad user and not to swift on a computer either. Thank you

Funny you mentioned that analogy... because John the Baptist was a heavy drinker... (could steve jobs be secretly accessing flash content on his ipad?)

Flash Player Crashes Computer On Certain Websites

I'm running Windows Vista and use Firefox but when I go to certain websites it seems to crash my entire computer. No BSOD or anything, just a looping sound crash and I have to hard reset my computer. I know it is Flash causing this because I have unistalled flash and went to the same page and it worked, with the exception of the Flash element. So what am I to do?

I also have similar problem but mostly on youtube... this has happened also on some other webpages. This started happening when i updated Adobe flash player from 9 to 10 (10.1). I have all latest drivers and hardware is working perfectly. I have ATI 4800 series GPU, Win XP sp3, 2gb ram, quad core CPU and alot of free space on my HDD. I did allkinda error checking, defragmentation etc.. nothing has worked.

MBP has "Service Battery" then disappears. Also screen turns black once in awhile when watching videos.

My MBP recently has the "Service Battery" notice, but disappears after I charged my laptop and hasn't returned yet. Also, my screen turns black once in awhile when I am watching videos, but cannot get it back lit so I have to restart it.
Do I really need to "service my battery?" And what do I have to do in regards to my scrren turning black?

Service Battery means replace battery as soon as possible.
Occasional black screen problem may be related to the battery condition.
You may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.
Power related issues can be resolved often by resetting SMC.

Best.

On certain websites, I cannot use instant messenger. It comes up as a "connection error". If I use IE8, I do not have this problem... I have the latest Java and Adobe Flash player downloads... what gives?

When attempting to use an instant messenger on certain websites, I keep getting a "connection error" message.... The IM pops up, it appears to start loading then I get the "connection error".

Certain buttons on certain websites do not work

There should be a break - a choice - after I've been asked whether or not I want to update Firefox and then Updater tells me that certain add-ons will not work THEN I should be given a choice whether or not I want to continue.
I had to remove Firefox 5; re-install Firefox 4 because of a key addon that I use as much as I use your Browser, now, certain websites buttons do not work:
<http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/30/google-transparency-report-2011_n_887998.html>
''comment removed by a moderator due to language. See the [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Forum+and+chat+rules+and+guidelines Rules & Guidelines] ''
There are other sites with the same problem. If I were to guess what it was - it would be like a person going to the clinic and spouting out some name that they had heard on tv or read in an article. Java? CSS? HTML5? Who gives a **** - I have a life other than this machine ''and a girlfriend''.

I see a photo slide show on that page. There are arrows next to the image number (e.g., 3 of 10) that worked almost every time; once or twice I had to click a second time. There are radio buttons to rate the photo on a scale of 1-10 and then a Vote button. I didn't see a problem there.
If you are using any "blocking" add-ons (blocking ads, flash, etc.), you might try testing with those add-ons disabled temporarily to see whether that makes any difference.

Flash is blacked out

I am not an admin on my computer and I think it is blocking flash functionality. my adobe creative cloud application updater is a black screen with exception of the menu bar. same for amazons mp3 player for desktops.
how do I run flash as an admin?

Hello
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

BEFW11S4-blocks certain websites

I have spent hours w my internet provider trying to identify why certain websites, which were always accessible, all of a sudden can not be accessed wirelessly. After much ado, I connected the modem directly to my laptop and low and behold the websites in question pops up w no problem. Since I am lame when it comes to this stuff, can someone explain to me in plain talk how I can access these websites without having to be tethered to my modem? Is the modem too old, why is it only blocking certain websites? The websites in question are academic and I checked w the institution and all is well at their end. thanks

Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly
the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the
router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power
cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug
in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!
