How can I enable blocked flash plugin on firefox?

A couple of days ago, my computer (mac OS X 10.4.11 PPC) suddenly seemed to stop recognizing that I had flash installed and wouldn't play anything requiring flash - instead a message came telling me to install it.
I uninstalled flash and the installed the latest version for my computer from the adobe website (which is 10.1.102.64).
Computer still thinks flash isn't installed and when I checked plugins I discovered firefox has blocked it telling me the version of flash I want to use is too old (even though the version I've downloaded is the latest I can use with my computer).
How can I enable the plugin on firefox so I can use flash? The 'enable' button on the plugin has been greyed out so I can't press it.
Please help - I'm rubbish with computers so please give any advice in very simple language! ( i have firefox 3.0.4)

hello this should not have happened - mozilla recently uses the blocklist feature to notify users about the outdated flash plugin but not block it.
you'd have to trigger a manual update of the blocklist and hope that this time the correct version is retrieved.
go to tools > web-developers > error console & copy the following line into the code field & hit evaluate:
''Components.classes['@mozilla.org/extensions/blocklist;1'].getService(Components.interfaces.nsITimerCallback).notify(null);''
sorry for the computer gibberish. afterwards restart the browser & see if you can enable the plugin in the addons manager again.

  • I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox

    I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox (Firefox version 1.5.0). I've tried to install the latest version 9.0.16.0 from the Adobe Download Centre. There are no error messages or warnings during the installation.
    The Flash plugin for IE is working fine.
    I've tried everything, uninstall the pre-installed version (7), re-install FireFox, uninstall all plugins, download and install everything over and over..... still the same problem.

    Hi Stephan,
    Thans for your reaction and suggestion.
    I've cleaned up the register, deleted all the macromedia and flash keys.
    Restarted, installed Flash plugin again, IE is working fine (again) but Firefox (and Opera!) only showing the message "Flash plugin needed" when I try to display a site with Flash content.
    I have the same combination working on several desktops, does it have anything to do with te pre-installed software from Toshiba?
    I have two Toshiba Sattelite's P100 with both exactly the same problems! Flash on IE working, Opera an Firefox NOT.

  • How can I install tab effect plugin in firefox 3.6.17 ?

    When I install tab effect plugin in firefox 3.6.17, its showing that this plugin are not available in that version. Please suggest me that how can I get that plugin. .. Thanks

    On Mac, it's '''Firefox > Preferences'''.
    But I'm not sure what your problem is. Right now, I'll guess that you are being asked to allow cookies.
    In the [[Options window - Privacy panel|Privacy panel]], make sure ''Keep until'' is not set to "''Ask me every time''"

  • Can I install the Flash Plugin for Firefox, and the Adobe Flash application program, on the same machine?

    PC with Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Firefox 33.1
    Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223 installed as a Firefox plug-in.
    Everything performs perfectly, and I particularly like the fact that when I encounter a file (usually video) on the web, I can ACTIVATE ADOBE FLASH on a once-only basis, rather than ALWAYS FOR THIS SITE.
    So here is my question. I encountered a .SWF file on the web, and played it through the plugin. I then downloaded the file to my desktop. From the desktop, there does not seem to be a way to play it through the Firefox Plug-in. Is this correct - am I missing something?
    In order to play the file, do I need to install a copy of Shockwave Flash or Adobe Flash Player as a standalone application program on my machine? Is it OK to have both the standalone application and the Firefox plugin on one machine? By the way, I am not interested in using WMP as the player.
    Thanks
    Bill

    VLC Player looks like a nice application, and it will play FLV files. However, it will not play .SWF files, which was the subject of my initial query. I admit that I am a little confused about the difference between .SWF and .FLV, since they are both called Flash files. My bad. I would love to find a standalone player that will handle both. Nothing fancy required - just play the file!
    As a side note, I downloaded VLC Player from the link you suggested. It installed easily and worked well. However, a Google search reveals that there are a number of sources for corrupted versions of the player, which contain malware. Thank you, Fred, for a straight steer.

  • How can I enable high contrast themes in Firefox WITHOUT high contrast on the Windows Desktop?

    Firefox 4.0 broke one of the best accessability addons that existed, AnyColor. Now I'm stuck with the closest I can get to it, a non-customizable theme which gets some things right but other things wrong.
    Naturally, I'd like to make my browsing as comfortable as possible to my low-vision eyes. I thought that the reported "high contrast" Firefox theme might help. Unfortunately, it seems that the only way to turn this on is to turn on high contrast themes in Windows-- and I have adjusted my Desktop so that I don't need them. Unfortunately that would seem to be the only way to get it in Firefox.
    Is there a secret way to force high contrast themes? The best solution for low-vision users, of course, would be to officially support AnyColor, or an addon like it.
    As an interim solution I'm using Purple Fox, which at least has the feature of being light text on a black background, and has visible tab close boxes; but it has fuzzy edges and twiddly graphics all over the place. It's not bad, it's just not really good. But having tried all of the themes with the word "dark" or "black" in the descriptions, it may be the closest to a working LV theme.
    Thanks for any help you might be able to give.

    Thanks for the reply. To clarify, by "Firefox chrome" I am referring to Firefox's GUI, such as the tab bar, scrollable context menus and the contents of the 'about:' pages. As a point of interest, Chromium on Ubuntu recently started supporting touch-scrolling for web pages and throughout it's interface.
    dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled sends touch events to the webpage, which is less important to me right now. In fact, others have reported that in situations where Firefox has touch-scrolling, enabling that option breaks the touch-scrolling for webpages that listen for the touch events (hence the default being 'disabled').
    I'd really like to know if native touch-scrolling is possible under Linux as my current setup is functional but not ideal.

  • How can I install adobe flash in BOTH firefox and chrome?

    I've tried making each the default browser while installing, but I think firefox needs to be uninstalled (I've had success with Chrome), but that will uninstall from the computer, not the browser.  I don't want to uninstall for Chrome.

    Chrome has its own proprietary plug-in which functions INDEPENDENTLY of ActiveX (IE) or the standard plug-in that Firefox uses. "PepperFlash" is a PPAPI plug-in and the others are NPAPI. That may not mean a whole lot, but they're two different formats, and they have nothing to do with each other.
    You can download the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers) and install it for Firefox with no effect on Chrome or the PepperFlash plug-in.

  • How can I install the PnH plugin for firefox?

    Hi, I'm actually trying to install the ca certificates for burp suite. There is another method outlined in the instructions but that involves going into the advanced options which... is not on newer versions of the browser?

    "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences > Advanced > Certificates mini-tab
    But... some builds may be different.

  • How to intercept the Adobe Flash plugin block by firefox checking for vulnerabilities?

    The trouble is the grey block, that asking to update Adobe Flash because the version is vulnerability. If the block of Flash object is smaller, then 100px height - there is an empty space, but not gray block with talking about version. I need to intercept the moment using JavaScript, when Firefox checking the version of plugin to make changes in my HTML code to make a GIF, but not flash.
    How to intercept the Adobe Flash plugin block by Firefox checking for vulnerabilities from JavaScript code?

    hello, i don't think that this would be possible (but i'm not sure). what you could do is try to sniff the version of flash that is installed & the firefox useragent and just assume that old versions of the plugin will be blocked in this combination.
    if you need more help about that, i'd recommend posting in a forum that is more specialized & knowledgeable in web development like http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25, since we here on the firefox support forums are primarily focused on support for end-users...

  • How can I get a flash based plugin to load in CC 10.x

    Hello
    How can i get a flash based creative suite plugin to load in Indesign CC 10.x?
    I can get It to load in CC, but not In CC 10.x. Im using Flashbuilder 4.5. Do I need a newer version of flash builder/extension builder?
    Best regards
    / Pontus

    Yes, you can!
    You need to make sure that you are using: "Adobe CSAW Indesign" and not "Adobe CWSAW".
    Also you need to hack the manifest.xml and write someting like this:
    <HostList>
                <Host Name="IDSN" Version="[7.0,10.9]" />
    </HostList>
    To get it to load in CC 14.

  • How can I enable SuperFetch?

    Hi,
    I downloaded Java from Java.com (free download) to be able to open a file I received as email attachment. After the download something happened to my laptop pc (Windows 7). I received pop up messages that said something like "Your computer got infected
    you need to install Windows Defender 2015. And they started to pop up almost every second and also the screen view changed. It got upside down or windows messages moved and seemed to be multiplied, very unusual things kept going...
    I stopped it and went online on my tablet pc and looked for what to do if my computer got infected with virus (because that's what I thought happened). From what I read online I made sure that all Microsoft windows experts were all recommending to start
    my pc in safe mode and I found some instructions such as going to Task Manager and ending processes and also to clear some files and folders in Registry Editor. I wasn't able to clear files and folder in Registry Editor. To make short, I came to the conclusion
    that I needed live help from a Microsoft expert. I chatted online with some MS Support Desk techs and followed their instructions but it didn't help at all. When I click on the little flag icon with a red cross sign on it(the one that says Open Action Center)
    it says 1 important message-Turn on Windows Security Center service(Important) I tried to turn it on (I don't know how many times!) but I get the message "The Windows Security Center can't be started"
    I went to Troubleshooting and clicked on Check of Performance issues (under System and Security) it did checking and I got the message "Problems Found- SuperFetch is not running. Not Fixed. 
    My question is: HOW CAN I GET SuperFetch running? or How can I enable SuperFetch?
    Thank you.

  • How can I enable remote debug in weblogic to use with Rational RSA IDE?

    How can I enable the remote debugging technique so that I can work with my IDE.
    I use RSA by IBM as the IDE
    What should be the changes in the setdomainenv or startweblogic?
    I use 10.3
    Please help.. ur help is appreciable...

    Hi,
    I did not make any console adjustments for debugging on my WebLogic 10.3.2.0 - however I am running in development mode on an "adminServer" (an option during the install)
    In the console there is a debug setup page - that seems to have no effect for me (I can always debug) - so either it is a combination of development mode and/or the startWeblogic script from the Eclipse plugin.
    However, these debug settings are likely for debugging into the server - you only want to debug your own app code right?
    On the console page goto
    http://localhost:7001/console/console.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=ServerDebugPage
    servers | AdminServer | configuration-debug | expand weblogic
    I see...
    "Use this page to define debug settings for this server.
    Debug settings for this Server
