Getting Adobe Flash to work in Firefox 4 Beta running on a MS Vista machine
I have not been able to successfully update Adobe Flash within the Firefox Beta 4.
The Adobe download runs fine, but the application / plug-in is not successfully running in the browser.
Can anyone provide step-by-step details on how to successfully add Flash to Firefox if the traditional (normal) method is not working.
Can you find the Flash plugin (NPSWF32.DLL) in the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\ folder?
* On Vista and Windows 7 you need to run a plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).<br />
See http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm<br />
You can verify on the [http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Adobe Flash Players Test Page] that the Flash plugin is installed and working.<br />
You can also check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" and on the about:plugins page, open that page like a website via the location (address) bar.

Can't get Adobe Flash to work reliably with Video
I'm going NUTS trying to fix Adobe Flash - I hate this company and wish they would go out of business.
Short of that, I want to use Safari as my default browser. Problem is, Adobe site says I have the latest version and shows it's working. However, many sites running Flash video that I need (primarily my investment site and Mint.com) use flash and the player doesn't work there. They do however work in Chrome.
How can I fix this? Nothing seems to work. Does anyone else have this problem?
I've gone through the reinstall, deleting the files in Internet Plug Ins, and opened up the persmissions in Safari preferences. HELP!!!!If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them. -
I'm using FF25 on Windows 7. When I go to Pandora and Grooveshark I get error messages telling me I need to install a newer version of Flash (v.10 or later). I've downloaded and installed (I think) Flash repeatedly, but I still get that error message. (Btw, I got the same message with IE, but I installed Flash for that and everything's fine.) I read somewhere that I needed to download the latest version of Real Player in order for Flash to work. I did that but get the same error messages. I am not tech savvy and not sure what to do now.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back soon.
Please try deleting the <code>pluginreg.dat</code> file located inside of your Firefox profile. -
Can not get adobe flash to work on my computer!
I've downladed adobe flash numerous times on my computer and I can not get it to work. It always says that the download and installation has been completed, but when I go to open e-mails that need the softw the e-mail states that I do not have adobe flash on my computer! I have done the downloading and install on different computers and had no issue, but I can not figure out why it is not working on my coputer. I also removed my anti-virus software just in case that was causing the problem, but I'm still not having any luck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and I look forward to any advice that anyone may have.
What is your operating system & version?
What is your web browser & version?
What is your installed Flash Player version?
Can you see the Flash animation (rotating red 'F') at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?
What mail client do you use?
And when you state "e-mails that need the softw" - do you mean you receive email messages with embedded Flash content? -

How can I get adobe flash to work on my iPad?
How do I download, or can I download Adobe Flash Player to my iPad 2 using Windows 7 operating system?
Flash is not supported on the iPad. You cannot download it. There are apps that will allow you to view some Flash content on the iPad but they have met with mixed reviews. Search the app store. You can look at Skyfire and see what you think after reading the reviews.

Flash not working in Firefox 4 beta 11
I haven't managed to get Flash working in ff4 -- I had manually installed the 64bit "alpha" version from:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/square/
by copying it to:
/usr/lib/mozilla/libflashplugin.so
Which seems to work for ff3 but for ff4b11, no dice. Am I missing something?Thanks for the suggestion, but I found the problem. I had managed to download the 32bit of FF4 (doh!), so there was a conflict. I finally ran Firefox from the commandline and saw some dreaded ELF errors:
(firefox-bin:14755): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
and this tipped me off!
I downloaded and reinstalled from:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0b11/linux-x86_64/en-US/
Now Firefox4 is running, with Flash, and it screams! -
why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.
IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
Save it to your Desktop.<br />
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
