I already updated Adobe Flash to latest version, why can't Firefox detect it?

Through a company IT rep, he helped to update my Adobe Flash Player already along with installing Firefox 3.6
Now why does the firefox claim "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video" when the Flash Player was already updated to the latest (i.e. attempt to view youtube videos for testing).

There are two different versions of Flash, the ActiveX version which is used by Internet Explorer and the Plugin version which most other browsers use, including Firefox. If both are installed, two versions Adobe Flash should appear in Add / Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel.
1.Download the Flash 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.
* 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 />

  • Adobe flash 14 (latest version) crashes everytime in Firefox 30.0

    I updated from Firefox 28 to Firefox 30 today. Nowhere that needs Adobe Flash will work. not Youtube or even Speakeasy. Just the dreaded "Flash plugin has crashed" notification. Everything worked in 28 and add on manager says my plugin is up to date but nothing works in 30.

    This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common reasons for Flash problems in Firefox. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
    (1) Make sure all recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
    (2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Flash
    See this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    (3) Disable ''the Flash player plugin's'' protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)
    The following pages/posts provide different ways to do that:
    * Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    * Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
    * Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
    Flash needs to completely unload from memory (restarting Firefox might help) before this would take effect.

    Firefox 3.6.15 not play youtube videos show blank video frame but other browsers play perfectly please help me for this matter i have already updated adobe flash player.

    Answers in this forum have shown different things have worked for different people.
    For some clearing YouTube cookies and the cache solved the problem. For details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Deleting+cookies and https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
    Others had to go a step further after deleting YouTube cookies and block YouTube from saving cookies. In the Tools menu select Options to open the Options window. Go to the Privacy panel and make sure it is set to "Use custom setting for history". Click the Exceptions button, type in http://www.youtube.com and click on Block
    Another option is to disable hardware acceleration for Flash. To do that right-click on a Flash video, select Settings, go to the first tab of the settings for the option to enable/disable hardware acceleration for Flash. This is something recommended by YouTube for those having problems - http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?&answer=1209379

  • Trying to update adobe flash player and it keeps saying "Quit Firefox" but I did.

    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,
    Vikram

  • I have the latest firefox but can't view youtube. It wants me to update adobe flash but I can't get that to succeed. Is it safe now? How do I proceed?

    I know adobe flash has been vulnerable but is it still. It tells me to update and the top choice says it is vulnerable. The second choice didn't succeed. I have this problem with other videos as well. Thank you very much! K.

    hello, please try to update Adobe Flash Player to version 16.0.0.305 through this link: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
    (use the windows-exe for plugin-based browsers).

  • The latest automatic update was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived with the same "request". Why and what do I need to do to stop this?

    The latest automatic update (in March) was accompanied by "You should update Adobe Flash Player right now". Having done this a few days ago a new Firefox update arrived (today 7. March) with the same "request". Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it? Firefox 3.6.15 and Adobe flash player 10.1.82.76 are currently installed.

    Shockwave Flash 10.1 r82 is not the latest version of Flash. '''r152''' is the latest.

  • You Tube not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update

    You Tube and other sites are not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update for both. Adobe Flash is working on other sites but not You tube and those sites that may have embedded You Tube videos, I'm not sure.
    Adobe Flash does not crash and no error message is showing. All that shows is a dark screen for the Flash video. Right clicking the screen shows only a non-clickable 'Movie not loaded' and the clickable link to the Adobe home page.
    I have spent an hour trying things as suggested for past problems similar to this but none have helped.
    I have sent sad face letting you know what I think of the latest update because of this which says pretty much the same thing as I have said here.
    I have no further info but if I had some input and queries form you I might be able to provide more.

    I'm not sure how to remove the 12.xxx version,. I don't understand why it is there, usually updates over wirte the old one as far as I know. I don't know where to find it.
    pref .js deleted.
    I could not find a user.js
    I disabled hardware acceleration on one of them, not sure which and I don't remember how I did it but think it must have been on the flash.
    No idea what protected mode is
    no new profile, I've never done this.
    Ok, did what you have said as much as I could. I have been fidgeting with things now for a couple hours. After doing a CCleaner and Registry cleanse, turning off and restarting the computer, the videos are now p-laying.
    I would still like to know how to find and get rid of the duplicate Flash plug in though if you would't mind.
    Thanks for the help.

  • I have a mac book pro and have already downloaded adobe flash player. However when i go to watch a video it says "Block Plug In". But my adobe is already up to date. Can someone help me to fix this so i can watch videos?

    I have a mac book pro and have already downloaded adobe flash player. However when i go to watch a video it says "Blocked Plug In". But my adobe is already up to date. Can someone help me to fix this so i can watch videos?

    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 7. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    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.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 6
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 7
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
    Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
    Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 8
    Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • How to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

    how to update adobe flash player with os10.6.8

    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

  • Why am I reminded daily to update Adobe Flash Player. Do I need it and why?

    I do not know of which use is Adobe Flash Player? I am reminded daily to update to avoid problems with Firefox.
    I do not look movies or play games in the internet.
    When starting to update Adobe Flash Player, I get afraid by the accompanying questions for private data.
    Tell me what happens when I do not update Adobe Flash Player.
    Regards Gerhard

    It is recommended to update it as the latest version as it includes security updates. A lot of sites use Flash to display their content, it is not just used for movies and games.
    You can carry on using your current version of Flash, just be aware that it has published security holes.

  • HT1338 Update Adobe flash

    It keeps asking me to update Adobe Flash and I already have but still keeps asking...I have uninstalled and re-installed....Please help

    Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
    Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
    On March 1 Apple again blocked Flash Player for Lion and Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5660
    The Adobe Flash patch can be found on Adobe’s website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.
    You should uninstall any previous version first, and repair permissions after installing the new version.
