Installing latest Flash 10.1 in Firefox 3.0.19 on XP/32-bit

After uninstalling the previous version of Flash I found that the new Flash plugin would not install. I could download a file gp.xpi, but clicking it gave a message like "application unknown". I found that I had to manually select Firefox as the application to open the file gp.xpi in order to install the plugin. I've had the same trouble previously with Flash. I think that the instructions could be improved to cover this case. (Also it's not easy to find the article http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/dlm/firefox_steps.htmlhttp://www.adobe.com/products/r eader/dlm/firefox_steps.htmlhttp://www.adobe.com/products/reader/dlm/firefox_steps.html though this may not be related to my problem.)

> why not use the normal executable Flash Player installer for Firefox
I looked but could not find it.
All the "Install Flash player" pages should clearly say:
"You probably will need to use this uninstaller to uninstall
the old version first" and specify the link to the uninstaller.
Firefox users should be shown a link to the executable
you mention (or an explanation like mine of what to do
if they can't install the plugin) because otherwise they
will probably not find the executable and will not know
what to do.

YES, we should follow all pop-up dialog instruction especially Flash CAN NOT install with any open IE, etc. browser using Flash (see behind your open browser) if there is one open.
The correct way to get Flash is to use your choice Browser (32 or 64 bit) or click the option that you have a different O.S., etc. Choose SAVE AS and remember where you saved it. Close ALL Browser. Find and click the downloaded Adobe Flash Payer file. Don't do anything with your PC and wait after final installation -- it'll tell you how successfully you're with a new web page. Restart your PC if it ask you to or better do it now.
Post back telling us how happy you are now..

Doublechecking. What's the filename of the installer you've been downloading? (The 32-bit installer is called iTunesSetup.exe, and the 64-bit installer is called iTunes64Setup.exe.)

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

Unable to install Adobe Flash Player in Mozilla FireFox

I am attempting to download and install the current Adobe Flash Player using Mozilla FireFox 19.
When I go to the download page this is what I see - no Download Button:
http://awesomescreenshot.com/02411pbs45
I have disabled my AV - no change. I have the latest version of Java activated.
I do have Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX installed in IE 10.
I run Windows 7, 64 bit, on an HP Pavilion dv7.
Thanks.

Could not see how to reply on the discussions page so am replying here. DOH! Was not signed in.
I only use FireFox and rarely IE.
Went to the provided page and saw this:

In the meantime I was able to download and install Adobe Flash Player 10. Will work with this in the meantime.
Thanks.

Problems Installing Latest Flash Player

Hellohello!
My Adobe Flash Player for Mozilla Firefox has been giving me troubles these past months, so today I decided to install a more recent version on my laptop.
Following the instructions, I deinstalled the old version before initializing the download/installation of the latest Flash Player. That, however, proved to be a mistake, as the installation has failed continously so far and now I have no player to my avail at all.
I have tried installation several times, but the process didn't even start and just left me the message 'Aktionsliste nicht gefunden' (action list not found).
I'm using a Fujitsu Siemens Laptop Computer with 32 Bit operating system and Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU processor. Windows Visa with Service Pack 2 is installed. So I guess the problem can't be due to a deficiency in system requirements and I also made sure that the required plug-in is activated and that any other version of the player is removed from my laptop.
Being anything but a computer/IT expert, I would be very very grateful if anybody could help me out. I'm at my wit's end in this matter, have spent the last three hours scouting for possible solutions to this problem.. to no avail whatsoever.
Thanks a million in advance!!

Hi Laura,
Most of these installation problems are caused by antivirus apps. These days, practically all of them incorporate web shields to protect you from downloading malware, files shields to prevent you from installing rogue pograms and the like. It's the file scanner which is the most problematical because it springs into action as soon as you run an installer of any kind. This interferes with the installation process and leads to file corruption further down the line.
In the current circumstances, I suggest you proceed as follows. First of all, disable all antivirus shields. If you happen to be using AVAST antivirus, right click the orange icon in the systray and choose to disable all shields for one hour. If you're using a different AV app, look for something similar in the user menus. Then proceed as follows.
Download the Flash uninstaller from here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Close all browsers.
Reboot. This is important to clear the Windows Registry after you uninstall something.
When the system reboots to the desktop, disable those AV shields again.
Download the installer from here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax_32bit.exe This is the installer for Internet Explorer. When you see the prompt, choose "Run" to install it immediately.
If you use another browser like Firefox, Opera, Safari etc., download this one as well: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_32bit.exe When you see the download prompt for this one, choose "Save" instead and save it somewhere you can find it afterwards.
After you complete the installation process, go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ to check that everything went according to plan.
You may require this player as well: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ It's rather like an enhanced version of the Flash Player and you'll need it to play games where you have some interaction with the animation. You don't need to run an uninstaller for this one. Simply download and click "Run" in Internet Explorer where you want to install it in that specific browser, or choose "Save" when you want to install it in any other browser.

Installed Latest Flash and Shockwave players but not loading

Hi,
I've installed/reinstalled Flash Player and Shockwave pleyers. I instaled in Safe Mode. I'ver used stand alone installers and unstallers. I've checked for malware and removed any found. I went back to an earlier verion of Firefox where they worked but no result. Have same problem in Chorme. They worked before I upgraded to the latest versions. Adobe site test verifies successful installs.
I've not used the Microsoft tool.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

I found the answer on another forum, but since this result showed up higher in the google search results:
Install Flash player in the Internet explorer browser as well, it seems if you do it in FF it only installs what's necessary for Flash in FF

Cannot install latest flash player, previous adobe download had lots of pups

Clamwin found and quarantined lots of infected (more than 60 adobe) files. I deleted them from the clamwin quarantine and then from my recycle folder. Then I got lots of "unresponsive scripts". Then, I tried to download and install the latest adobe flash player (because I thought the deleted infected files might be adobe flash files...they were definitely some kind(s) of adobe files. Now, I am trying to download and reinstall the latest flash player to remedy my lot of "unresponsive scripts", but I cannot complete its installation. I get a message that instructs me to close Mozilla Firefox...which is not open.
What's a Mother to do?
(No idea what community this should be in, btw.)

The plug-in version of Flash Player is for browsers other than Internet Explorer.

Since the Flash Player for Internet Explorer is an activex add-on, active x filtering must be turned off to view videos.

Corrupt file problems installing latest Flash on Windows Vista - help please?!

When trying to install the latest Flash on my Windows Vista (I'm not great with computers so more than the internet system I use I'm not sure what other details are necessary), I keep getting the message "install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe - Corrupt File. File or directory C:\$Secure is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility." As I have no idea what the Chkdsk utility is, or how to run it, can someone please tell me how to fix this problem? Apparently I have Flash Player installed on my computer, but not the plug-in necessary to play media files on the internet. What do I need to do to fix this?

This Microsoft help document should walk you through the steps of using Chkdsk to scan (and repair) your hard drive.

With the latest flash update and on firefox 13 when I scroll on pages with youtube videos or other flash content it become corrupted.

When I actually play the videos it's fine, the issue only occurs with still images. This doesn't show up with vimeo videos.
The images should explain more

This does not occur with other browsers with the latest flash update.
The problem also shows up even with add-ons disabled and testing it with a new profile.
Does anybody have an idea with how to fix this, or is it a problem on adobe's end?

I've fixed the problem by installing the older version of Flash Player (v11.2.202.235).
- First, download the uninstaller from [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html here].
- Close your browser(s).
- Run uninstaller and remove flash player.
- After the uninstall process, download and install the old version from [http://www.oldapps.com/flash_player.php here].
Note: Download "Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.235 (Non-IE)" if you are using 32 bit OS
Or
Download "Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.235 (x64) (Non-IE)" for 64 bit OS.

Windows XP cannot shutdown after installing latest Flash Player

Anybody know what is wrong with latest version of flash
player?
i installed the latest version of flash player (download from
adobe), when I need to shutdown my Windows XP, the system does not
allow me to shutdown. I have to terminate the process
install_flash_player
Appreciate if anyone can advice me..

Haven't ever heard of Windows not being able to shut down
at all because of a certain process. If anything, it'll ask
you if you want to terminate it, and you just hit ok and it
continues shutting down.
Not to call you a lair or anything, just hadn't ever heard of
that, so I'd try re-installing the Flash Player first and foremost.
Don't just download the same player and install, first download
their flash_uninstaller, then re-download the flash player, and
install it.
