How does Flash Player differ on various browsers?

Internet Explorer: Flash Player is installed as ActiveX® plug-in. Installing Flash Player in Internet Explorer doesn't install Flash Player on other browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Netscape.
Mozilla Firefox / Opera / Netscape: Flash Player is installed as a plug-in. Installing Flash Player in any of these browsers automatically installs Flash Player in other browsers too. For example, if you install Flash Player in Mozilla Firefox, Flash Player gets automatically installed in Netscape if Netscape is present in your machine.
For installing Flash Player in a browser, using the browser, go to Adobe site. Download Flash Player and double-click the downloaded file to install Flash Player.
Google Chrome: Flash Player is integrated with Google Chrome. You don't need to install it separately.

Have you installed Flash from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#main_Archived_versions the latest version of Flash for your phone is "Flash Player 11.1 for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.63)".

  • How does Flash Player determine if TLS is available?

    In ActionScript, there is a setting called "flash.system.Capabilities.hasTLS" that determines whether or not the Flash Player can make native SSL/TLS-based connections.  The definition of this property says " Specifies whether the system supports native SSL sockets through NetConnection (true) or does not (false)." 
    How does Flash determine whether this property is true or false?  Is the value passed to the Flash player by the browser?  Does Flash figure it out from the environment?  If so, how?

  • How does Flash Player projector/standalone connect to the Internet

    I know that when a web service call is made from a flash player in the browser that the underlying browser is used to handle the traffic.  I also know that this isn't the case with flash projector because the security docs say that the projector files can't take advantage of SSL because they aren't run in the context of the browser.  So what mechanism does a standalone or projector application use to connect to the Internet?  I'm trying to analyze a possible application for someone from a security point of view, but I'm not sure what mechanism is in place.
    Thanks to anyone who knows or even knows of some decent references.  I can't find much on projectors....

    As far as I know, the standalone player does not connect to the Internet - it just plays local Flash content.
    Or can you actually give it an Internet (http) location to play?  (I do not currently have Projector installed, so I cannot try it.)

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Flash Player crashes in all browsers

    I have IE 8, Firefox 3.6 and Chrome 6.0 on my laptop.  I have the latest version of Flash on all three.  All of of a sudden, the Flash Player plugin will crash and the browser will lock up any time I open a page that uses Flash.  What could be doing this?

    Here are the files in the Flash folder:
    Flash Player Trust
    Flash10k.ocx
    FlashInstall
    flashplayer.xpt
    FlashUtil10k_ActiveX.dll
    FlashUtil10k_ActiveX
    NPSWF32.dll
    Version is 10.1.85.3

    Hi, thanks. I think we need to take a look at the Flash files.
    Go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash  Open Flash and post back all files listed. You will need to right click on the NPSWF files and then click on Properties to obtain the version numbers.
    Thanks,

  • Does flash player work

    Does flash player work on Kindle fire HD?

    Hi aaliyah.thurkettle1,
    The latest Kindle Fire HD is not officially supported by Flash Player.  Please see this page for a list of all certified devices:
    Flash Player Certified Devices
    That said, some users have been able to get Flash Player working on the Kindle Fire by using Dolphin, a third party browser.

    > So now my question is, how can i fix this problem?
    Use the Toshiba recovery disk or the Toshiba HDD recovery option.
    If you dont have the Toshiba Recovery disk try the HDD recovery:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    This works only if the recovery image files from Toshiba are still on the HDD:
    If you installed the system using another disk as Toshiba recovery disk, this recovery option will not work.

    How does Adobe ExportPDF differ from the export feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0?

    ExportPDF is based on a newer conversion engine than the one found in Acrobat 9.0.  They're similar in some respects, but ExportPDF is more advanced.

  • Why does Flash Player keep sending me notifications to update to the version I already have?

    Why does Flash Player keep sending me notifications to update to the version I already have? The result is always an error message telling me that the version is already running. (Desktop Computer; Windows Vista OS; Firefox; Adobe Flash Version 11.8.800.94)

    I don't know; can you post a screenshot of such a notification?
    Did you update both ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and plugin (for Firefox)?

  • How tune flash player 9 for use with proxy

    Will alienate? They've already alienated users a long time
    ago. That isn't the point, though, because it doesn't matter if
    users are alienated, it only matters if the users need flash.
    The only thing that could make flash player better is open
    source. I don't see why they don't do it. They make money on the
    authoring tool, not the player. All of my Linux machines are ppc
    and x86_64, no flash there. I also don't have flash on my PDA, a
    Palm T|X. If the player was open sourced, people would stop
    complaining about how much flash sucks -- because, right now, there
    are very serious, legitimate, complaints against it.
    Anyway, for now I'm hoping that SVG matures quickly.
    Although, I"m sure that once Adobe sees that train coming, they
    will extend Flash (dev.) to export SVG movies containing embedded
    binary data that can only play with their binary plugin.

  • Does Flash player render font-types differently depending on platform?

    We published a captivate course that uses all sans serif fonts. The fonts appear as expected when tested in Firefox and Safari on OS X 10.8.5. However, when tested in IE8 on Windows 7 one of the text captions appears as a serif font. Does Flash player render font-types differently depending on platform?

    Hi,
    I did as you suggested. The repost is in the "PDF language" forum, and we have an indication that the pdf file might be ambiguous as to the choice of a transparency blending space:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/714292
    However, in the meantime, I noticed that this issue is not (or hardly) noticeable if the file is opened as the first file in the session. However, as soon as one file (the same or another one) has been opened (and possibly closed - does not matter as long as the Reader stays open) and the file in question is loaded by any means (drag&drop, File-Open, Explorer double-click), it becomes really ugly. I guess this is why many people in the discussion boards have a hard time reproducing this issue, leading to the assumption that it is very system specific. I assume it is quite general.
    In any case, if a file looks differently depending on whether another file has been open before, this is DEFINITELY a thing to look into for the Reader guys, wouldn't you say?
    Best regards,
    bersbers

  • Does Flash Player protected mode / disabling it have any effect on XP?

    Does Flash Player protected mode / disabling it have any effect on XP / Firefox?

    Been experiencing severe slowness and lock-ups with Firefox of late (since 27.0 / 28.0),  which ends with a sudden drop in memory usage and me having to  repeatedly shut it down through Task Manager. I have created a new profile and disabled hardware acceleration. I have tried disabling all  plug-ins and extensions, yet I noticed that at times (not always) plug-in container was still an active process, which I don't understand. Why would it be active when there are no enabled plug-ins? I also noticed that when plug-in container is not active (showing under Processes in Task Manager) I do not have this problem and Firefox runs normally?
    I have run MalwareBytes, TDSSKiller, Hitman Pro and McAfee Stinger - no threats found.

    ps: I hope I did not have any spelling mistakes sorry if I had any.
    some imfo that might be helpful:

    No, the silent background update does not need a restart to complete the installation.
    However, it may need to wait until the browser is restarted in order to delete old files.  Nothing to worry about.

  • How to install Flash Player on two different browsers?

    Have a Windows Vista 32-bit PC with two browsers: IE8 and Safari. Flash Player already installed on IE8. 
    I want Flash Player to run on both browsers and am concerned that installing Flash Player on Safari will mess up the existing Flash Player on IE8.
    How to proceed? 
    Thanks,
    Marty

    Problem solved! 
    Created a System Restore Point and boldly charged ahead.  Using the Safari browser, I opened up the Flash Player download page and installed the version for Safari. 
    The Flash Player Plugin for Safari installed correctly with zero negative effect on IE8 Flash Player.
    I was being overly cautious ... my concerns were unfounded.
