Flashplayer kaput in Firefox!

Adobe flash has stopped working in firefox. I have the latest version. Help!

I have been having the same problem like yours and I just followed the instructions given to you and this is how I got through: to follow the first line of instructions : click 'start' then click 'run' ( usually under the 'search' command on startscreen).
Then a little command window opens on the lower left corner of your screen, above where start button is; type in there what's on the first line of instr. "c:\..."  and  click 'ok', which opens up a list of  flash files where you find
"mms.cfg" .  Now right click on your mouse and choose "open with" command and there choose 'note pad';  a page opens with 2 lines on top and you type in what was given in the help response , ie "ProtectedMode=1"
I hope this will help solve both our problems. It sounds reasonable.

  • Cannot install adobe flashplayer update unless firefox is closed, how do you close it? it is not my default browser

  • Firefox won't close/  flashplayer won't download to desktop -- getting dizzy!

    Found a solution to this problem,  I hope, July 22,09 note from "eagleberry" firefox user,  but I can not download flashplayer to desktop:
    "use firefox to download the flash player setup fromfrom here to get the NPAPI version of flash, save it to your desktop   (htt;://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/)
    then close firefox using file - Exit, then check the Task Mngr-processes tab to make sure all firefox applications/uses  are closed  (XP: Ctrl-Alt-Del,  Vista:  shift-Ctrl-ESC- processes tab)
    then run the Flash setup file from your desktop"
           does this work? help with desktop download. . .   thanks

    See if this happen in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe-mode] , if this is not happen then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe Mode start window to disable all extensions.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change from File > Exit

  • I can't download and install Adobe Flashplayer on Firefox 26.0, using Mac OSX 10.9

    I am trying to view videos and i am told to download the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer. However I cannot install the Flashplayer. Using Firefox 26.0, MacOSX 10.9 Mavericks. I know other users are having the same problem, and I have tried all the suggestions to correct the problem, to no avail. Is there an alternative to Adobe Flachplayer?

    If you're having trouble downloading the installer file through the Adobe site maze, use this direct link instead:

  • Adobe Flash player 16.0.0.235 crashes on Firefox 34.0.5, Windows 7

    I recently installed Adobe Flash player 16.0.0.235 and now it always crashes wherever I try to watch a video on Firefox 34.0.5 on Windows 7. I tried all the troubleshooting advice from Firefox (checking that Flash is installed properly, checking to see that Flash isn't disabled, restoring default settings, disabling hardware acceleration, ect) and nothing has worked. Here are my last 5 crash reports:

    It appears that you have multiple versions of the Flashplayer installed on Firefox. Please remove all versions of Flashplayer from your computer and install the latest version from [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ here].

  • Installing Flash Player on Firefox

    I'm using the most recent Firefox and I noticed that the plugin was no longer there, I then tried several times to install it.
    The download worked fine and the installer seemed to go though the mototions but when I then checked the plugin list it wasn't there so for some reason the installation isn't working or it's not initalising...of course I'm willing to accept that it could be a Firefox issue. It is the most recent Flash Player that I've been trying to install and I imagin that an auto update may have caused the issue if the problem is with Flashplayer rather then Firefox.
    Is anyone able to give me an idea as to which is at fault?

    Hello,
    Please try to do a clean install of Adobe flash player

  • How can I get security updates without dealing with Firefox 4 update reminders?

    I tried Firefox 4 for awhile, hated it and reloaded 3.6. I keep getting reminders to update to 4 which are bothersome. I have disabled reminders, but how can I continue to get security updates without upgrading to 4?

    Install Secunia's free Personal Software Inspector: http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal
    You also need to update Flash a.s.a.p. The version you're running right now is a security risk. See http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-02.html
    Update via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Also, update Firefox to 3.6.17 because there was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.

  • Why won't Firefox suddenly won't display SoundSlides files -- new and ones displayed in the past? I've cleared history, cookies, etc. Also deleted and reinstall

    Firefox will no longer display our university news website news.wsu.edu correctly, AND it will no longer display SoundSlides files that we have posted. See our front page at news.wsu.edu as well as SoundSlides example at http://news.wsu.edu/pages/publications.asp?Action=Detail&PublicationID=32021&TypeID=1
    Have tried deleting and reinstalling Firefox. Deleting all history, cookies, etc.

    It works ok for me but then I am not using Flash 11.3 on Windows.
    I can see http://news.wsu.edu/ ok
    When I try http://news.wsu.edu/pages/publications.asp?Action=Detail&PublicationID=32021&TypeID=1. I get a mainly blank page with an error message
    Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07' <br/>
    Error converting data type char to int. <br/>
    /Includes/SiteIncludes.asp, line 30
    Possibly the link is not quite correct. (trailing dot ?)
    Selecting a "sound slide" does however work ok for me I get a slide show with very loud music.

    '''It appears it works for me. Possibly you have a problem because of Flash Player 11.3 use. You may find it works if you downgrade to FlashPlayer 11.2 or 10.3''' There have been known issues with FlashPlayer on Windows Firefox systems. Developers from Flash & Firefox have been working on the problem, but despite new updates to both FlashPlayer and Firefox in recent days, problems may still be occurring.
    Note also there is a related but separate problem on some systems with RealPlayer. If you have Real Player installed please say so, and especially mention if that includes video download or recording options.
    <u>The current standard response to the Flash Player 11.3 (Windows Firefoz) problem is as follows, (but advice may change over the next few days):</u>
    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.

  • Firefox crashes when I create a fresh new tab

    Ever since yesterday (although the issue has occured before but a system restore has fixed it. Unfortunately it didn't work this time) whenever I open a fresh new tab (merely clicking the '+' icon next to the tabs) will make the memory usage and cpu usage of computer jump until Firefox eventually crashes.
    I have done nothing prior to this first happening except turning off my computer after having it run on sleep mode instead for the past few days whenever I was done using my computer for the day. However if I were to open up a new tab using a link from a site it appears to have a normal effect (memory usage only going up a few kb) I am currently using chrome as a backup.
    Methods attempted: Uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, Resetting Firefox, Changing profiles, System restore, Deleting cookies and clearing cache via CCleaner, Uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flashplayer plugin, Running Firefox in safe mode, Restarting computer.
    Specs:
    Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
    RAM 3 GB
    Intel(R) Duo Core(TM)2 CPU 2.40 GHz 6600 @ 2.40 GHz

    Wow, looks like you've already done all of the basic troubleshooting steps.
    Let's see if the problem doesn't lie somewhere else.<br>
    Can you give me your crash reports?

  • Flashplayer plugin download build 296 instead of 305

    Hi
    Ich versuche gerade, von _http://www.adobe.com/de/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html_ (ohne Unterstriche verschwindet der Link hier wieder - aber die braucht man ansonsten natürlich nicht) den Offline-Installer für das Build 305 des Flashplayer-Plugins für den Firefox herunterzuladen.
    Die darüber stehende Version für Active-x wird korrekt heruntergeladen, die aber ebenfalls als Build 305 bezeichnete Pluginversion jedoch nicht - da kommt stattdessen noch die 296-er Version an.
    Wer kann das in Ordnung bringen? Macht man stattdessen allerdings die Installation online, unter Verwendung des Stubs, kriegt man dann die richtige Version hin.
    Danke für eventuelle Aufklärung...
    Rup
    Hi, trying to download, from _http://www.adobe.com/de/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html_ (use the URL without the understrokes - here they are needed to avoid the automatic transformation of this URL address to something else) an offline installer for the actual build 305 of the Flashplayer plugin for Firefox. It is marked as Build 305 in that URL, but what one gets is still the older 296. When downloading the offline installer for active-x, the correct version 305 is downloaded. Who can correct that error?
    By the way - if one uses the 1 MB short stub for the ONLINE installation, the correct build 305 is installed...
    Regards and thanks for eventual clarification,
    Rup.

    Ich kann das Problem bestätigen, dass der scheinbare Build 305 Link _http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_ 16_active_x.exe_ auf _http://www.adobe.com/de/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html_ die 296-er Version anbietet. Ein lokales Cacheproblem kann ausgeschlossen werden, weil ich dies an mehreren PCs von zwei unterschiedlichen Provider ausprobiert habe. Ob das Problem auf Seiten der Provider (Caching) oder Adobe liegt, gilt zu prüfen. Hoffe auf ein Feedback!

  • Can't watch video on firefox e.g. bbc iplayer, video doesnt load, what should I do?

    When I click on bbc iplayer, no vdeos load or work. I just seen a black screen. BBC news and bbc football I can't watch any videos

    By all means try the Reset as advised by Tyler, but note you then loose extensions, open tabs, and possibly some settings, as explained in the article Tyler linked to. (You may wish to bookmark tabs, and extensions home pages. Plugins are not touched by reset)
    I note you
    * have been using the article [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]
    * downgraded to Flash 10.3 (see system details aside)
    * have RealPlayer related software/plugins, so please ensure that is all fully updated
    If the reset does not work the next thing to try is disabling Flash Players protected mode, that solves a lot of FlashPLayer problems on Firefox Windows. (Not the simplest of tasks but this [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/support-forum-contributors/708905?last=50206#post-50153 post] contains links to instructions)
    As an aside YouTube does or did have options to try HTML5 beta versions, you may need to check whether or not you are enrolled in that, as that may solve or cause problems in some circumstances.
