I updated my flash plugin and Firefox no longer has it.

I updated my Flash plugin to the latest version. Since then, Firefox has, instead of saying that I should update it, said that I should install it. The flash plugin does not appear in the add-ons manager, and flash content works fine in other browsers.

You may have a problem with the file pluginreg.dat that stores the plugin registry.
Delete the file pluginreg.dat and let Firefox rebuild a new version.

  • Cannot type Japanese in a flash field, with latest flash plugin and firefox.

    When I try to input Japanese with my IME(I tried google and Microsoft one)in a flash field, the IME just won't activate. I am stuck with only being able to use western letters and I can't change it in any way. If I load up Opera I am able to input Japanese fine in flash fields.

    @iamjayakumars
    The website is used the most is the site below. It is a japanese chat site that uses Flash, but the sites Kurosan posted also does not work for me.

    @Kurosan
    Great(well not really great..) to hear I am not the only one with this problem. Thought I was going nuts.
    @amitshree
    The keyboard is set to Japanese Language(I can see the JP at the taskbar of the keyboard), but there is no way I can change the input to Japanese. I am stuck with western letters.
    Also when I click on a flash field. The IME logo disappears , this normally doesn't happen when I click on a normal text field.

  • Flash 9 and Firefox on 10.4.7; firefox doesn't detect the plugin.

    Yea, Hi. Can anyone help me with finding out why Firefox will not display flash; firefox keeps syaing that the plugin needs to be downloaded, but I already updated to FLASH 9 a few weeks ago. And Safari plays FLASH fine.
    Anyway, when i was on a page with flash Using Firefox, It allowed, me to download it (Flash), and even though I already have it, I though Id download it again, since Firefox wasnt detecting it. Anwway, Firefox wont even download the Flash, it tells me someting about "unlicensed" when I try to download the plugin.
    no biggie , ill just use Safari in the meantime, but Im trying to find out whats wrong here.
    Dave

    I have Flash 9 and FireFox 1.5.0.4 recognizes it and works on the sites I tested (Adobe and my own). The error message about unlicensed stuff is something I have never seen. Try to reinstall FireFox.

  • The new flash player update crashes internet explorer and firefox

    The new flash player update crashes internet explorer and firefox, please send a new release to fix the problem ASAP!

    ok   here's more mystery.  i just uninstalled and reinstalled flash player using the adobe uninstaller and rebooting after each step.  aqlso installed latest java.  i started looking at videos and here are the ones that worked: you tube
                                                                                           imdb
                                                                                           hulu
                                                                                           ebaumsworld
                                      here are the ones that didn't work:    yahoo
                                                                                           msn
                                                                                           reuters
                                    here are the ones that partially worked: the blaze (works on videos that originate from you tube, but not from news stories)
                                                                                              bing (work on videos from their video section - entertainment type, but not from news videos)
    the common thing here seems to be that news type videos crash and entertainment type don't.  also videos seem more likely to crash on internet portals like yahoo

  • 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,

  • Flash plugin for Firefox: it has trouble after 6-9 hours!

    Hi,
    Vista32 sp2, 4GB Ram, ALL Adobe Flash plugin for FF versions, now 11.1.102.55.
    perhaps dxdiag.txt needed?
    Issue:
    when Firefox 3.6 (in the past) or 8.0 (now) remains open, after 6-9 hours I become issues with Flash plugin for FF.
    ALL YT videos (240p up to 1080p) playback with jumpiness!! with or without acceleration.
    ActiveX for IE9 works fine on the same machine. No problem with Silverlight in FF.
    Solution: kill the flash plugin process in task manager >refresh the YT video's page > playback again ok.
    why the flash plugin is fatigued after 6 or 9 hours?
    is it able to handle good the memory usage?
    May you want to suggest me a workaround to get the video's palyback smoothly even if Firefox is running a lot of time (without killing the process in task manager)?
    or could I to wait for an update of flash plugin in the future that adresses this issue?
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    best regards.

    Hi, 
    Thank you both for your reply!
    @Campbell:
    the same effects with or without having the flash acceleration enabled.
    I dont know if I am enough able to file a bug request.
    I have done (hopefully it is right?
    I warmly hope that the Adobe Engineers will read and reproduce my issue and they may want to send me an email if the issue will be resolved.
    this were wonderfull.
    my OS/hardware seems not too old
    no problem in watching/editing full HD content.
    if you mean that my bug report looks correct and exhaustive, please forward him to the developers.
    (I hope that the report will not be closed, even if it becomes poor votes). thanks.
    @ ɹəuəllıʍ :
    Yes the same problem in Firefox 8.0 too
    (in my old FF 3.6: no issues regarding the jumpiness in Silverlight, therefore I think that this was/is perhaps an issue in "Flash player for FF" only: jumpiness after 6-9 hours usage).
    But the new FF 8.0 offers the same behaviour after 6-9 hours.

  • I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8?

    I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8? If this is so, I need to find an older flash player plugin to reinstall. I do not want to upgrade from 10.6.8 at this time because I have 18 yrs. worth of financial records on Quicken that I have read will not work with Lion and I've read bad things about running music programs on Maverick.

    1)  Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) is a full featured app that can be downloaded from Intuit for $15 and will work with your data file if you are using Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007 (if you version is earlier, let me know for more instructions on easy conversion):
    http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
    2) Partition your hard drive, or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks there and "dual-boot" to operate your music programs in Snow Leopard and experiment with them in Mavericks.
    DO NOT install Mavericks over Snow Leopard!

  • 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 do you delete programs?
    thanks

    If Flash Player is indeed the problem I would suggest using the Adobe Uninstaller.
    Have you tried using a different browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Safari to see if they have a problem with Flash?

    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Flash plugin for Firefox: 2, 3 speed audio?

    Hi all,
    I am having problem with audio using the flash plugin for Firefox.  The video
    is OK but the audio seems to be played at double or triple speed, which sounds
    funy.
    Here is the address:
    http://news.com.com/1606-2_3-6052333.ht … &subj=news
    Anybody else had this problem before?

    its playing in the background right now and sounds fine.  Motion is a little jerky but acceptable.
    using the 2.6.16 kernel from testing firefox from current over a DSL line.
    Is the rtc module loaded?  Otherwise at a loss (as usual)
    BTW, that VW system is the last thing I need in my truck.  Would rather have a cup holder that works and a first gear that does not lose sync.
