How do I unblock Flash?

I keep getting messages that the Flash plug-in is being blocked. I have the most up-to-date version of Flash available. I've so far been able to solve this problem by closing Firefox, deleting the blocklist.xml and pluginreg.dat files and then restarting Firefox. Is there anyway to solve this problem without having to manually delete those two files every single time?

Sorry no time to investigate now, but as no one else is answering I will give a quick response
* Flash should not be blocked (but in some cases it may not be the best option to use the latest version, and note disabling protected mode may help )
* it follows that I do not see that the blocklist should be a problem
*look on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/ it is not listed as far as i can see.
There is a new click to play feature that has caused problems. (not sure where current documentation is ,but it started with https://wiki.mozilla.org/Opt-in_activation_for_plugins )
It would help if you could give more information about what you see please copy any error messages and give screenshots or anything that shows the problem.

  • I am using XP-SP3 & Firfox.  When installing Flash Player Software i get a message: "This Publisher has been blocked from running software on this machine". How do i unblock it - HELP.

    I am using XP-SP3 & Firefox.  When installing Flash Player Software i get a message: "This Publisher has been blocked from running software on this machine". How do i unblock it - HELP.

    Hi,
    This is a security setting on your system that is resulting in this behaviour, not Flash Player installer itself, or anything with the installer.  There are many Google search results on this.  The first hit I got, was the following from the Microsoft forums:
    To unblock a software publisher:
    1. In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
    2. Go to the Content tab, Look under the Certificates section.
    3. Click on Publishers button.
    4. Select the Untrusted Publishers tab.
    5. Select the Publisher you wish to unblock and click the Remove button.

    Do you have the Plugin version of Adobe Flash installed?
    There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
    1.Download the Flash Plugin version 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.
    4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the 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 this: <br />

    I mistakenly blocked a video on http://www.filmtotaal.nl/filmsoptv.php (I thought I was blocking an ad); now I can't play any video from that site. How do I unblock?

    1. Click on that message and follow the onscreen directions.
    2. An automatic update to Mac OS X's built-in defenses disabled the Flash plugin because it contains a security flaw.
    3. See #1.

    how do you unblock a blocked plug-ins safari? when i go to the updated version to install it, it still tells me "blocked plug-in".

    I'll assume you mean Flash. 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 5.
    1. If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    5. 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.
    6. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    7. 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.

  • A webcast that I watch regularly doesn't open up.  It says blocked plug in on the screen.  How do I unblock it?

    A webcast that I watch regularly doesn't openup.  The screen reads blocked plug in.  How do I unblock it?  Also what caused it to be blocked in the first place?

    Is this on a Mac or an iOS device?
    If it is a Mac, you probably need to update your Adobe Flash Player. Go to Adobe.com and download and install the latest version, then restart your web browser.
    Best of luck.
