Flashplayer no longer working in firefox linux

I am using ubuntu 12.04 and now my flashplayer no longer works in either firefox or chromium. i have updated to the latest flashplayer but still browsers say i need a plugin update. but when i click on get plugin it just sits in searching for plugin and does nothing else. i can play downloaded flash .flv movies but nothing on youtube or similar.

Get Plugin never worked for me either. I get my Flash plugins from here:

It goes only up to v. 11.2 for LInux.

Since installing Flash update today, Flash no longer works on FireFox (works fine on IE)

As prompted, Adobe Flash update was installed today. Since installing , Flash no longer works with FireFox (works ok with IE);

Hi guys - for me this helped.
Close Firefox - open Internet Explorer - got to the Adobe Flash Player Site:
http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/
In IE you can see there is the 64-bit version - (in Firefox there was just the 32-bit version) - got to: (others)
http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/otherversions/
choose your system and version
download it via internet explorer and install the adobe flash player
restart firefox and it should work.
helped me after wasting one day of my life to find a solution, alle sites work just fine now.
hope this helps.

Facebook and Slacker no longer working with Firefox. Still work with Explorer. Until a week ago problem did not exist.

I am for about one week not able to input information on Facebook. Also the Facebook page appears in a huge font. Regarding Slacker I do not see any available online radio stations. Until about a week ago everything worked fine. At present I can work with Internet Explorer, but at present can no longer work with Firefox.

No longer works in firefox

why does my Adobe acrobat no longer work in firefox?

Hi lynettec,
When you say Acrobat doesn't work in Firefox, do you mean that you can't view PDF files in the Firefox browser? If so, please see View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them | Firefox Help
If you're referring to the Acrobat online services, they are supported in Firefox, so I'd would need a little more information about what's happening to get to the bottom of the problem.
Best,
Sara

Flash no longer working on Firefox after update

Moments ago I installed the Flash update after it came up on my screen asking to update, after doing so Flash is no longer working on Firefox, it works fine on other browsers. I cant view videos, look at flash objects etc. It was working perfectly fine before up untill the update. Anybody know how to resolve or fix this issue?

Dear Chris:
Yes, turning off Protected Mode indeed solves the problem!
Specifically, we today (June 9, 2012) installed the new Adobe Flash v. 11.3.300.257 on several Windows 7 PC's, all running Firefox v. 14 (Beta), and none of the Firefox installations would confirm that the installation was performed successfully. For example, the Adobe Flast test/about site, https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about, would not work. And, likewise, YouTube videos and other Flash-encoded videos did not work either.
So, we tried your suggestion to disable the new Protected Mode, and it worked. That is, every single machine on which Flash did not work in Firefox now functions perfectly. So this conclusively demonstrates that there indeed is some kind of bug in the implementation of Protected Mode.
Can you please let me and the other Adobe users know when this is fixed. Thanks.
Also, could you likewise let us know the risks of turning of Protected Mode (although we really don't have any choice, as Flash will not work on Firefox with PM turned on).
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Kind regards,

Download Pull-Down Menu in Web App Olive ActivePaper Daily 4.0 No Longer "Works" in Firefox 10

I have a paid subscription to the online edition (aka "e-edition") of the Raleigh News & Observer, http://www.newsobserver.com/. In Firefox 10, I am no longer able to download the pdf of the paper; the download pull-down menu in web app "Olive ActivePaper Daily 4.0" no longer "works" in Firefox 10 on Win XP or Win 7. This was not a problem in Firefox 9 and earlier. The pull-down menu continues to "work" in IE8. A valid username & password is required to do the download. The ''only ''change made to my Windows XP system was the upgrade from Firefox 9 to Firefox 10.

The thread "Keynote Cancelled Shutdown: how do I troubleshoot?" has recently posted a possible solution but is there an explanation or a fix planned?

The visitor counter on my website no longer works on Firefox but still works in ME. How do I fix it?

I have a free visitor counter (by easycounter.com) on my website. It has been working fine in both Firefox (3.6.16) and MS Internet Explorer.
Yesterday, I noticed it no longer works with Firefox but still fine with MS IE.
Earlier in the week I did download a few add-ons recommended by Firefox.
Can anyone advise what the problem might be and how to fix it? The code for the counter is still intact on my page at www.qsl.net/ve3bdb.
Thanks in advance.
Incidentally, the page now takes forever to load when using MS IE, but I don't know if that's related.

No problems here with that visited counter on your website.
Which extensions did you install?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Parallax no longer works in Firefox 16+

I created a Parallax ( scrolling interactive images in layers which tells a story) about 10 months ago or so, it works in every browser and at that time it worked in firefox 10-ish. I just saw today that it no longer works in Firefox 17 or 16, it doesn't scroll at all. The Parallax is in an iframe container ( not sure if that matters ) and it looks like the iframe has been squashed in height.
Thanks,
Sam

Yes it will break. Don't swap one for the other; use everything for now to cover your bases
*-moz-transform
*webkit-transform
*transform
So older Firefox will see -moz-transform, Chrome and Safari will see webkit-transform and new Firefox will see transform. When webkit changes then Chrome and Safari will see transform instead of webkit-transform. Then one day in the future you'll be able to remove the prefixed versions and just use transform.
Make sense?

RoboForm Lite no longer works for Firefox 17 windows 7 and server 2008r2

Greetings,
RoboForm Lite no longer works for Firefox 17 windows 7 and server 2008r2 I tried to reinstall but none of the tabs function . Thank you for your assistance

'''roboform_firefox:'''
The original poster (OP) reported his/her OS as Windows 7 in the body of the question, therefore, your solution would be of no use to the OP. You can also see the OS for the system used by the OP to post the question to the right of the original question in this forum .
Additionally, using an old version of Firefox is ill-advised as old versions contain uncorrected security vulnerabilities. Roboform has been very good lately in keeping their products updated for new Firefox releases and any problems with their products should be reported to them so that they can address any issues and release an update if needed.

I woke up this morning and google and gmail no longer work in firefox. I get the endless loop error

I woke up this morning and google and gmail no longer work in firefox. I get the endless loop error.
I have the latest version of firefox and it is running under win 7 pro.
it was working great since I installed it 3 weeks ago and I use it every day.
the error reads:
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
However my cookies are still enabled and and i have never changed my settings

Nofocus script no longer works in firefox 5

Does anyone know why the "nofocus" script is no longer working in Firefox 5?
I got sick of Yahoo hijacking my cursor, so I did some looking and found a script (below), which is added to your user.js file. It worked just fine in FF4 and 4.1. When I updated to 5, however, it stopped. Any ideas?
Here's the script:
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "nofocus");
user_pref("capability.policy.nofocus.sites", "http://www.yahoo.com/");
user_pref("capability.policy.nofocus.HTMLInputElement.focus", "noAccess");

Looks that CAPS are no longer supported for DOM Events like that.

Flash no longer works with Firefox 13

so I have Firefox 13.0.1 and upgraded flashplayer to 11.3 and flash no longer works. I've tried lots of things, but finally downgraded flas player to 11.2. Still no joy. The only way I can get Flash to work is if I start Firefox in safemode with add-ons disabled. If i manually disable add-ons from within Firefox is still doesn't work, so I guess that isn't quite the same as the safemode disabling. I don't have RealPlayer installed. I tried creating a new profile, but still no joy. Any other ideas for me to try please?

Try to disable hardware acceleration.

Whiskey Media Sites no longer work in Firefox 4beta

When attempting to browse Whiskey Media sites in Firefox 4, the search box on the site (which used to automatically generates a list of search results when typing into the search box) no longer works. The sites worked in versions of Firefox prior to the beta, and works in other web browsers. Any help that can be provided would be appreciated.

Which version of Firefox do you use?
You have a weird user agent:

My finger print scanner for logging on to web pages no longer works in firefox 4

My laptop has a finger print scanner that manages passwords. You scan your finger to log on to various pages or accounts instead of typing in the log in information. It worked flawlessly in the older version of Firefox, but since upgrading to Firefox 4 it no longer works. I checked and it still works with Windows.

Is the a Digital Persona fingerprint scanner, also used in teh HP SimplePass Identity Manager? If do the company that make the bioscanner have abandoned it. For more details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388

DigitalPersona no longer works with Firefox 4.01

My HP laptop has a fingerprint reader which provides the "key" for digitalPersona personal -- which remembers and enters usernames and passwords for websites. When I upgraded to Firefox 4.01 it no longer works. I can swipe my finger, but digitalPersona no longer recognizes the login pages.
I do not normally use IE, but the package seems to still work in IE.

n Firefox make sure you have at least two (2) tabs open - (Ctrl+T opens a new tab)
In the address bar of one tab, type "about:config" - minus the quotes, of course
You'll see a warning. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and continue to the configuration page.
There's a search bar at the top. Type "js" - again, minus the quotes.
In the results you'll see pdfjsviewer.disabled with a vaule of false. Click it once, then right click it and choose Toggle to make the value "True".
Close that tab.
Click Tools>Options and go to the Applications tab
Locate Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document File (PDF)) in the list and click the drop-down to select "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)". (Mine doesn't have that because I also have Acrobat Pro installed)
Click OK.
Click Tools>Addons to see that the Acrobat plugin is installed
Close and restart Firefox. PDFs should now open in a browser window with the Reader plugin.
Note: This doesn't work for me since the update to 23 and I should have the choice of Reader or Acrobat plugins. Firefox is trying desperatelt to FORCE users to use their crappy PDFJSViewer, which doesn't handle multimedis or forms PDFs.
As to the NPAPI and security risks, that's blown WAY out of proprotion. There are antivirus companies trying to sell their products to Mac users (who will NEVER need them) and they use this "urban legend" to bolster their case.
