Getting an error message trying to update Adobe Flash Player

Every time I try to update Flash Player for Firefox, by downloading the update from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
I get the following error:
Host
"Unable to load application configuration"
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In case one of your extensions is blocking data that the site needs, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

  • ERROR MESSAGE KEEPS POPING UP " ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 11.8 R800 HAS STOPPED WORKING"

      MESSG KEEPS POPPING UP EVERY FEW SECONDS,  I HAVE UNINSTALLED FLASH AND REINSTALLED IT FROM ADOBE'S WEB SITE BUT IT STILL KEEPS POPPIN UP.  WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG?

    MY PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS YOURS.  I ALSO HAVE FIREFOX BUT I CANT TAKE A SCREEN SHOT OF MY PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ERROR MESSG POPS UP SO OFTEN AND LOCKS UP MY COMPUTER UNTIL I HIT THE X BUTTON ON IT BUT IT POPS RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN.  I THINK I HAVE ELIMINATED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY   BY DISABLING ANY POPUPS THAT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH FLASH.  NOT THE BEST SOLUTION BUT AT LEAST I CAN USE MY COMPUTER.

    trying to update adobe flash player on firefox and it keeps saying "Quit Firefox" but I did.

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Do you have a MAC or Windows ?
    For Windows, you can launch Windows Task Manager and go to Processes Tab, kill "Firefox.exe"
    For MAC, you can launch Activity Monitor and Force Quit "Firefox"
    Thanks,

  • Trying to update Adobe Flash Player: 'update' seems to be OUT of date

    I've been trying to download updated version of Adobe Flash Player over & over again for over two hours. The only available version reads 'updated April 19, 2013' and does not work - I am still seeing "blocked plug-in" everywhere there should be a video playing. How do I find and download the most up to date version? (If this IS the most up to date version, what is the problem?)
    What does this thing want??!!!?!

    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 4.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    5. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    6. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • I get a "connection error" when trying to update/install Flash Player

    I have a previous version of Flash player so I was trying to update it. The installation doesn't make it past 5% before saying "connection error". I have tried all the troubleshooting steps and even tried to uninstall it. When I try to download the uninstaller, I get a page on safari that says "safari cannot connect to server" (I also tried on firefox too, same problem). I have tried to locate it in my toolbar and applications to uninstall it from there with no luck, it has completely disappeared. Not in my trash, nowhere. Not sure what else to do. I am running on Mac OS X 10.7.5. When I have Adobe check to see if it is installed on my computer, it says that a previous version is installed, 16.0.0.

    Hi,
    Can you Please provide Configuration of your XP, Win7 Machine [How to post a screenshot in the forum]?
    To check if Windows 7 Service Pack is already installed, follow the below steps:
    Click the Start button , right-click Computer, and then click Properties.
    The basic information about your computer page will open.
    To check if Windows XP Service Pack is already installed, follow the below steps:
    Click the Start button , right-click Computer, and then click Properties.
    Click System and Service Pack Information will be listed
    Please also attach log [Where do I find the Flash Player installation log on Windows?], [How to share a document] and Share the Current Version of Flash Player goto - [https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html] and click on Check Now button, using about method can you place the screenshot.
    Meanwhile you can also try cleaning Application Temporary Data and Try again. [c:/users/username/appdata/local/temp folder - Microsoft Community], Due to some reason the Installer file is getting corrupted which might be blocking Flash Player Installation. After cleanup try using the offline Installer [Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows]

  • HT5660 When updating Adobe Flash Player on my Mac I am told "blocked plug in."  How do I reverse this?

    When trying to update Adobe Flash Player on My iMac I get a message that says "blocked Plug-ins."  When going back to previously viewed studies, including youtube, I get the same message.  What changed if the update was never installed?  How can I reverse this situation?  Thanks for any ideas? 
    PS - not a techie :-)

    Are you actually getting a Java error too, or are you only getting a Flash error?

  • Problem updating Adobe Flash Player with Safari

    Hello!
    I'm trying to update Adobe Flash Player using Safari on a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.10.1 but every time I download the update the file looks like this:
    and when I try to start the installation this window appears:
    I tried several different download links but non of them worked. I also uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player and tried to reinstall it but then I have the same problem. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

    For some reason that I have yet to determine, people with Matlab installed start getting .mdlp extensions appended to their downloaded files.  That's what happened here.  Rename the file to remove .mdlp (so that it ends in .dmg), then double-click the file and it should work.

    I own an iMac 2011. I am unable to reinstall and launch premiere pro cc. We I attempt to run the program I get a error message saying that the adobe application manager is missing or need to be updated. I reinstalled the manager but I am still unable to launch any of my programs from adobe. I tried to do a trail with a program and I am still getting the same message.

    Davinci thank you for the update.
    Please utilize any available uninstallers that are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once all of the available uninstallers have been run you will then want to rerun the CC Cleaner Tool.  You can find directions on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool and a download link at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.  After the CC Cleaner Tool is run then please reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application from Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop.
    The CC Cleaner Tool is designed to be used after running the uninstallers.  Without running the uninstallers first then a complete removal may not be possible.

    Hi Terry, A post is the message that anyone has just typed in. When you replied to me, that was your post. I am replying to you so this is my post. Think of it as sending an email or mailing a letter at the "post" office.
    Now right at the top of the last post (message) you sent me is a Post#, then the date and time and under that the thread subject "Re: I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player 10 and I keep getting......
    The first time that you posted, you described your problem. The next post after that is #1 and so on.
    The Adobe Flash Player forum works very much like email except there are a lot of "threads". A thread is what each message you see is called. Everyone that registers can start their own thread (subject). Then other people see it and can post to your thread and try to help you with your problem.
    You did pretty good, you registered, and you started your first thread
    Now do you feel somewhat more relaxed?  Hope so.
    Take a look now and see if you can find the Post# and etc that I described above.
    Thanks,

  • When trying up date adobe flash player from 10.1.102.64 to new version 10.2.152.26 i get an error message, "Installer will automatically continue when those conflicting applications are closed: [circle w/line through it] Mozilla firefox."

    When trying up date adobe flash player from 10.1.102.64 to new version 10.2.152.26 i get an error message, "Installer will automatically continue when those conflicting applications are closed: [circle w/line through it] Mozilla firefox."

    Save the Flash installer to the desktop and close Firefox via File > Exit Firefox.<br />
    Start the Flash installer via a double-click on the Flash installer icon on the desktop.
    If that still gives problems then see:
