How do I prevent Adobe flash player from prompting me with updates so frequently?

Adobe Flash player is the WORST!!! It prompts me to install updates more frequently than ANY OTHER SOFTWARE that is I use and does not support automatic background updates via the app store. I am not interested in hearing about updates more than once a year. How do I disable them from prompting me so frequently?

How do i uninstall adobe flash player from linux?

flash player is no longer supported for linux. nee to uninstall and install (please reccomend something) a player that will replace it. thanks

Hi fuzzyface,
Sorry for any confusion!
There's no need to completely uninstall flash player; you just need to update to the latest version and everything should work.
To update to the latest version:
# On your keyboard, find the ''Ctrl'' and ''Alt'' keys. They should be near the bottom-left of your keyboard.
# Hold ''Ctrl'' and ''Alt'' down. While holding them down, press ''T''. Then let go of ''Ctrl'' and ''Alt''.
# A terminal window should appear.
# In the terminal, type (or copy and paste) this command:
* ''sudo apt-get update''
# At this point, you'll be asked to type your password in. When you type, it might look like nothing is happening - but don't worry - your password is going in. If you make a mistake hold down the backspace key (the one above enter) for a couple of seconds to delete everything, and then type your password again.
# After typing your password, press enter.
# Your system should automatically check for updates. It will be finished when the text on the screen stops updating and you can see something like ''fuzzyface@fuzzyface-laptop:~$'' at the bottom of the screen.
# After this, type in:
* ''sudo apt-get upgrade''
# Your system should then start installing the updates - and this will include an updated version of Flash. Pay close attention, as at one point it might ask you if you want to continue. When it does, type 'y' and press enter.
# Once it finishes and you can see something like ''fuzzyface@fuzzyface-laptop:~$'' at the bottom of the screen, close the terminal window.
# Close Firefox and then open it again, and Flash should be working again.
Let us know how it goes!

How do I stop Adobe Flash Player from crashing my computer whenever I play a flash video using Mozilla?

Whenever I try to play a flash video my PC completely crashes or freezes.

If Flash videos actually crash your entire computer, rather than causing [[The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed]] notice, try this:
Turn off hardware acceleration in your Flash Player display settings (Right-click on any Flash video, click "Settings", select the Display tab and uncheck “Enable hardware acceleration".

This is asking you to store persistent Flash Cookies (meaning, they are not deleted when you delete your ordinary cookies.) Some sites will not work unless you allow them. Here's how to prevent them from getting on your computer in the first place, while keeping Flash and these sites working.
If you use Firefox, get the Add-on Better Privacy, which will delete them when you quit Firefox.
Or, trick these sites into thinking they are actually storing this crap: (These directions are for Flash Player 10 and above.)
Using the following, no LSOs (Flash Cookies) will be stored and yet Flash is tricked into thinking they are. As far as I can tell all sites employing Flash will function properly; nothing will be broken, including Comedy Central with its streaming video content. (In the directions above, I had mistakenly recommended setting the Storage panel in the local Flash Pref Pane to not allow. It must be left as "Allow sites to store...." This was why the Comedy Central clip I had been trying to play wasn't working.)
First, to get a new, clean folder, start by trashing the Macromedia folder in ~/Library/Preferences. That's in your user Library. Next, do not visit the local Flash Pref Pane in Sys Prefs. Instead, go directly to Adobe Global Privacy settings in the Adobe Settings Manager and set Camera and Mic to "Always deny." Visiting the Settings Manager will automatically create a new, clean Macromedia folder.
(If you first visit the local Flash Pref Pane, the new Macromedia folder will lack the empty default #shared objects folder and its also empty enclosed folder (this is the one with a combination of characters and numerals.) I haven't tested to see what will happen if those two folders are not present. I assume, providing the Macromedia folder is unlocked, they would be created as soon as one visits a Flash site, but they will not be empty and this would defeat the entire purpose.)
If you visit the local Flash Pref Pane now, all the defaults will remain, except for the Camera and Mic panel, where "Always deny" will be checked. Next, it seems prudent to go to the Playback panel and check "Block all sites from using peer assisted networking." But, important, in the Storage panel, you must leave the default "Allow sites to save...." checked. This is how sites using Flash are tricked into thinking storage of Flash Cookies is being allowed when they are, in fact, not.
Next, go back to the Macromedia Folder and, using GetInfo/CMD-I, recursively lock all its enclosed folders. This means starting from the back working ones way up to the front. And, finally, lock the enclosing Macromedia folder itself. Nothing gets stored and everything keeps on working.
(Thanks to Anon at XYMer's for this.)
EDIT: Maybe something I don't know, but I don't think AdBlock in Safari will defeat Flash Cookies. There may be some Safari extension that will.
Maybe this extension

How do I install Adobe Flash Player on a Allwinner Android 4.4.2 KITKAT Tablet PC?

How can I install Adobe Flash Player on a ALLWINNER ANDROID 4.4.2 KITKAT TABLET PC ?
When I want to upload photos on social media sites, I get a message saying that I will have to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, with a link button. When I press the button, a message from Adobe shows up reading: Sorry your device doesn't support Adobe.
Does that mean that I have to buy a new computer everytime Adobe decides to upgrade their products?

Hi
I have successfully installed Flash Player on All Winner Android 4.4.2 100.1" Tablet. You have to use the following link to Archive Flash Player Archived Flash Player versions and download Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.81). It has to be used in conjunction with UC Browser, Dolphin Browser, Boat Browser or any other which supports Flash player & make some changes to settings. It worked for me.

How do I set Adobe Flash Player as the default program to open SWF files?

Basic Overview
I have this working fine at my home laptop, however I need this working for projects at school.
Whenever I want to open an SWF file at home, I simply double click it and open it in Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22) and I have no problems!
However, when I am at school I have to run SWF files within Internet Explorer, Adobe Flash Player IS installed, but the SWF files are not opened in that directly, they are opened within Internet Explorer.
At Home
If I right click an SWF file at home and select "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player is already there under the name 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', so I can simply select it as the default. (On my home laptop)
At School
At school if go to "Open With" and then "Choose Default Program...", Adobe Flash Player IS NOT there, only Internet Explorer and some other programs in the other programs box. (On my school laptop)
Question
How can I assign Adobe Flash Player as the default program for opening SWF files (on my school laptop)? If I select "Browse..." and go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash there is no file with a description of 'Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22', is the file for the actual program located somewhere else or have I just no looked properly in the folder?
I really need these files opening in Adobe Flash Player directly and not in Internet Explorer (I know you can set the view to 100% and have it sized correctly)
Thanks you to everyone who helps!
-Charlie! (Yes I know I don't need to write this in a forum)

The standard Flash Player is a browser add-on, and not a standalone player. So what actually opens when you open an SWF file at home? Flash Player Projector?
If so, you also need to download it at your school, from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, then do the file association.

How do I download Adobe Flash Player for a computer that does not have internet?

Hello Walter,
that's it, usually you get and Adobe Flash Player Installer only. For a distribution in a company, or an installation on a PC without internet access, Adobe has available an offline installer. This installer you don't need to uncompress it first. You can download the installation file from there (you must logged in with your Adobe ID): http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
