Installing Flashplayer on Linux for Firefox

Hello,
I am trying to install FlashPlayer add on for Firefox.
The file I am installing is:
Adobe Flash Player version 9.0.124.0
.tar.gz for Linux (x86) | 3MB
Text
My operating system is:
Linux Debian (Lenny)
When I try and run the installation Linux tells me that my
X86 architecture is incompatible with the flash player.
Is there any way around this. Perhaps I cam run an emulation
program?
Thanks,
Nevica

Keep getting a window to install a security update for Firefox 25.0.1. I have installed it 3 times already and still get the notice to install it again.

At least twice a day I get a pop up window alerting me to the need to install a security update for Firefox 25.0.1. I have installed it several times and still I am prompted to install it again. I have received no response from Mozilla on this issue. I had sent in an email about this several days ago.

Please note that all technical support is performed through this site. Mozilla will not respond to emails requiring technical support.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' and updating while in safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

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.

Can't install properly FlashPlayer 10.1 for FireFox 3.6.3

Like several people on this forum, I am reporting an issue with installing the latest version of FlashPlayer. The scenario is pretty similar to what others have described : After uninstalling the previous version of FlashPlayer and installing version 10.1, I get a message saying that the installation was successful... However, when I go back on Internet and visit a website that requires FlashPlayer, I get a message saying that I need to install FlashPlayer!
I checked the list of my installed programs (Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs) and it appears that FlashPlayer is actually properly installed...
BTW, I updated FlashPlayer the same way I always do, but this is the first time I am getting these problems.
Because I am rather novice in computers, I don't expect to be able to sort it out on my own. So, unless someone on this forum has a simple solution, I'll have no choice but to wait for the next release of FlashPlayer...
Regards
p.s.: I am using Windows XP SP3 (32 bits)

Hi, It is easy to forget or perhaps not even be aware that with Flash Player the Uninstaller must be used. I would think your Flash files looked scary:-) Keeping the new version is probably wise, especially after all of that trouble. Leave the past behind:-)
The prompt from Adobe to close Messenger I had not heard of before. Maybe that is some of the new features of the 10.1.
That would be a good idea, since it saves users getting a fail to Install and then have to start over. Thanks for mentioning that.
Appreciate you marking your thread as answered. The Flash forum has been extra busy since vs 10.1 came out so those having the same problem as your subject states will help in the search.

How can I install the PnH plugin for firefox?

Hi, I'm actually trying to install the ca certificates for burp suite. There is another method outlined in the instructions but that involves going into the advanced options which... is not on newer versions of the browser?

The standard build of Firefox for Linux definitely has an Advanced panel in the Preferences dialog, here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences > Advanced > Certificates mini-tab
But... some builds may be different.

I seem to be stuck in a loop re-installing the google toolbar for firefox, since i endup at the "agree and install" page every time i reestart firefox

On my netbook, I have used the Google Toolbar for Firefox, with its handy Bookmarks access, for several years, but it appears to have become "invisible" when I open Firefox. I tried reinstalling it, and Firefox seems to perform the download, but when I restart Firefox to complete the download, itr opens on the "Start the Download" page, and the toolbar is still nowhere in sight. What am I doing wrong?

I agree with whereitis above, I hate it when options are removed (ex: the Bookmarks side panel (Ctrl-B) button missing) etc.. Firefox's major BOLD one-liner is: CUSTIMAZATION. Now to regain this CUSTIMAZATION freedom, Firefox suggest to solve this by installing the ADDON "Classic Theme Restorer". I don't want to install any ADDON to customize Firefox! I went with Firefox because it was CUSTOMIZABLE, and that is the only reason why I went with this web browser! Now, Firefox is asking me to add an ADDON to CUSTOMIZE it. What is this?!

Trying to Install Flashplayer Plugg-In for Safari and Fire Fox error 413 Header Length too Large

I have tried to add a flash player plugin for both Safari and Firefox on my Mac. I get directed the Adobe Flash Player download page, once I choose to download the player I get the following error:
413 Header Length too Large.
Both browsers do not have any version of the Flash Player installed.
Any thoughts?

Please use the offline installer:

Can I install the Flash Plugin for Firefox, and the Adobe Flash application program, on the same machine?

PC with Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Firefox 33.1
Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223 installed as a Firefox plug-in.
Everything performs perfectly, and I particularly like the fact that when I encounter a file (usually video) on the web, I can ACTIVATE ADOBE FLASH on a once-only basis, rather than ALWAYS FOR THIS SITE.
So here is my question. I encountered a .SWF file on the web, and played it through the plugin. I then downloaded the file to my desktop. From the desktop, there does not seem to be a way to play it through the Firefox Plug-in. Is this correct - am I missing something?
In order to play the file, do I need to install a copy of Shockwave Flash or Adobe Flash Player as a standalone application program on my machine? Is it OK to have both the standalone application and the Firefox plugin on one machine? By the way, I am not interested in using WMP as the player.
Thanks
Bill

VLC Player looks like a nice application, and it will play FLV files. However, it will not play .SWF files, which was the subject of my initial query. I admit that I am a little confused about the difference between .SWF and .FLV, since they are both called Flash files. My bad. I would love to find a standalone player that will handle both. Nothing fancy required - just play the file!
As a side note, I downloaded VLC Player from the link you suggested. It installed easily and worked well. However, a Google search reveals that there are a number of sources for corrupted versions of the player, which contain malware. Thank you, Fred, for a straight steer.

Help installing Latest Flash Plugin for Firefox

Hey Guys,
I have a really quick question. I am having trouble installing the last flash software manually and was wondering whether or not someone would be willing to give me a quick link to an .xpi version of the installation package.
I would like to install the plug-in from within firefox using the Add-on Manager.
Thanks so much for your help.
Already tried installing it automatically and of course using the executable file.
Please let me know how this can be done.
I appreciate it!

We don't have an xpi version available, have you tried installing from the links on this FAQ?
Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player for Windows or Macintosh?
Thanks,
Chris

Cannot install Flashplayer 10 with Mozilla firefox 3.6.13 using Vista

I can down flash player but when I try to install I receive a message that says "installer will automatically continue when these conflicting applications are closed". It then lists Mozilla firefox. What is going on here. I've tried numerous times but each time it says I must close firefox.
I am using Vista Home 32 bit and Firefox 3.6.13 32 bit.

Hi, I would just use one browser to do this. Go to the site from the link I gave you. You will see this: This is the Installer for IE.
Just click once on "Download EXE Installer" on that site. It will open and you will see "Run", "Save". Just click on SAVE. It will ask you where, choose Desktop so you can easily find it. Then do the same with the Firefox link, below.
Windows
Internet Explorer
All supported languages
Download EXE Installer
Windows
Plugin-based browsers
All supported languages
Download EXE Installer
Be sure to use the Administrator Account when Uninstalling & Installing.
Before you Install, you want to be sure that when you ran the Uninstaller, you achieved a clean Uninstall. Go here and as soon as the site opens you will see the version of Flash Player if it wasn't Uninstalled completely. Do this with both browsers and let me know. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ If any version of Flash Player is shown, let me know.
Thanks,

[SOLVED] Openjdk installed, but no plugin for Firefox

Hello,
I installed openjdk using:
pacman -S openjdk6
but I don't see any plugin installed in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin.
[root@univers ~]# ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
total 10360
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10606256 21 fév 22:00 libflashplayer.so
Also, the about:plugins shows only flashplayer, which works fine.
Any idea?
Thank you.
Pitou!

Can't Install Java Plug-in for Firefox

I'm running Firefox 0.9.2 on Windows 98, and I've tried to install the Java VM but when I download the installer it only gives me the ability to install it in IE, which already has Java working.
It's quite annoying since it means that whenever I want to visit a site with a Java I have to switch to IE, and of course the reason I installed Firefox was so I wouldn't have to.

This is covered by any number of Firefox sites - see this one's FAQs http://texturizer.net/firefox/

How do I install the java plugin for firefox 22 under windows XP when I have no internet connection (I have a local appache server)

I have jre 1.6 installed on the target machine.

Need the java executable offline, go to the link you indicated from another computer or from your phone and download the executable that gets "out of line". Then you load it into your computer and run it.

Hope that helps.
A greeting!!
