Is there an alternative for Adobe Flash for Mac & Firefox

Running Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with Firefox 13.0. Was notified that I needed to install Adobe Flash/Shockwave to see video content.
Have loaded and updated to the newest version as of last week but Firefox has become buggy, freezing up but my pointer will still move. I continually get requests from Flashplayer to store data on my machine. Continually get error messages that I have to click DISMISS and the it works normally.
Just a regular PIA. I have uninstalled Flashplayer and the problems disappear but I cannot access a lot of content, especially videos.
IS there any alternative for Mac?
thanks,
Rob

Is there an alternative to adobe flash player for the iPad?

Is there an alternative to adobe flash player for the ipad2?

No - flash is not supported, and probably never will be (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ and Adobe havn't created a version that works on iOS anyway).
Browsers such as Skyfire, iSwifter, and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but not all judging by the reviews. You might also find that some sites (especially news sites) have their own apps on the app store which let you get some of the content that you want.

HT204266 Is there a replacement for Adobe flash for ipad2?

I am trying to watch a video, which pops up from a website.

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
Puffin
SkyFire
Photon Flash
Browse2Go
iSwifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

Adobe Flash player now demands installation of McAfee Security Scan, is there an alternative to Adobe Flash player?

I do not want ant McAfee products installed on my system but now it seems that Adobe Flash player goes hand in hand with McAfee Security Scan, you can't have one without the other. What on earth are Adobe up to and are there any other options? Thank you.

You can download without mcaffe, jus uncheck the '''Optional offer'''

Is there an alternative to adobe flash player

talking to admin would be good, getting an answer would be good,

For Flash content (SWF or FLV), there is no alternative.
Web designers are switching to HTML5 video, (MP4) which uses no plug-in, but for "legacy" content, end users will still require Flash Player.

Is it okay to download updates for adobe flash?

Hi - I heard a few months back that we should no longer accept updates for Adobe Flash on Macs, as there might be security issues. Has that been lifted? Is it okay to download the updates?

Ensure you're downloading them directly from Adobe's site. If you see a prompt to update, go to Adobe's site to get the updater instead of downloading it from the prompt.

Is there a product like adobe flash that's for my iPad?

Is there a product like adobe flash that's for my iPad?

Not that I'm aware of unfortunately. Also Flash isn't as popular as it once was, especially with the advent of HTML 5. If in doubt try a Google search for 'alternative to flash for iPad' there are a few results by the looks of things.

Alternative to Adobe Flash Player for Macs running Yosemite

Is there a reliable and secure alternative to Adobe Flash Player for Macs running Yosemite? I keep getting websites telling me that I can see a video because my Flash Player needs to be updated. But I haven't wanted to install it as I've heard negative things about it and Macs. Is there an alternative to Flash Player? And if so, what is it and where do I find it?

Being that Flash is very insecure, I've completely removed it from my MacBook Pro. The best alternative is to uninstall Flash from your system and download Google Chrome as it has Flash build into it and you're not vulnerable unless you're browsing in Chrome. If Safari is your main browser, as mine is, then you need to open Safari Preferences, go to Advanced and click the checkbox for 'Show Develop menu in menu bar'. Once you've done this, the Develop menu bar menu shows up and you can click it and choose 'Open Page With' and choose Chrome. It is a bit cumbersome, but it removes the vulnerability when browsing in Safari as many sites are now using HTML5. Hope this help.

Does Apple have an alternative for adobe flash player I have websites that require it for viewing and they tell me Apple restricts Adobe.

I want an alternative to Adobe flash player plug-in for my Windows 8 computer 64 bit

I am so sick of Adobe flash player plug-in not being responsive with Firefox
can you recommend an alternative to Adobe flash player plug-in for my Windows 8 computer 64 bit
thanks

Mozilla is currently developing an open standards-based Flash renderer called Shumway.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/Shumway
Available as an extension [http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/extension/firefox/shumway.xpi here]. ''< click to launch the add-on installer.''
''It seems to work fine on YouTube videos in the Firefox 31 release version, although it is somewhat CPU intensive.''
And also available in the Nightly development versions.
http://nightly.mozilla.org/
Feel free to try it out, but make sure you install it into its' own Program Files folderset and make sure you create a unique Profile for use only with Nightly. If the same Profile is used with both Release and pre-release versions problems sometimes arise after switching back and forth between different versions of Firefox. Basically, Nightly is like 18 weeks ''(at a minimum)'' removed from becoming a release version, but some projects stay on Nightly for a longer time as they are being developed. That happens to provide as many user / testers as possible, by not resorting to a separate development trunk version.

I cannot load an app for Adobe Flash Player on my iPad. It says not supported on this equipment. Is that right? If so, is there a recommended sub that will satisfy that requirement? Some programs say "adobe flash player"

I cannot load an app for Adobe Flash Player on my iPad. It says "not supported" on this equipment. Is that right? If so, is there a recommended sub that will satisfy that requirement? Some programs specifically say "adobe flash player"

What App? From where?
You can only get Apps from the App Store. nowhere else. If you are trying to download form a website you cannot do it.
If you need Flash Support for websites, you can download a flash supporting browser from the App store.
Examples are:
Puffin
https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/puffin-web-browser/id406239138?mt=8
Photon
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photon-flash-player-for-ipad/id430200224?mt=8
There may be others in the store.

FOUND A FIX FOR ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 11.9.900.152

I have Windows 7, 64bit and Internet Explorer 11 installed. I found the fix for Adobe Flash Player after 2 days of doing everything. I thought that the fix should be something very easy and it was. I spent 2 full days doing all kinds of ridiculous things, i.e. uninstalling, reinstalling, restore computer, deactiving XActive, reactivating, changing stuff under internet options, etc. The problem was Internet Explorer 11 update caused Adobe Flash Player not to work or recognize the flash player, or installing a new router caused it not to work. Websites kept displaying messages to download Adobe Flash Player when I already did. There appeared to be a conflict where some videos played and other did not. Youtube did not work anymore. All the problems that other people posted under these forums happened to me. I could not play the games I was playing before, etc. Anyway, I am NOT a tech person and understand little and almost gave up when by accident I found the fix and EVERYTHING works without rebooting anything, uninstalling or reinstalling etc. as all the people in the forums posted. Everything was so complicated!!
THE FIX: Go to Goodgle Chrome browser. If you don't have it, download it. The Adobe Flash Player is included in this browser. Anyway, at the very top RIGHT HAND SIDE there are lines in a square formation. Click on that and go to SETTINGS. Go to very bottom and click on SHOW ADVANCED SETTINGS. SCROLL DOWN TO THE VERY BOTTOM and click on RESET BROWSER SETTINGS. After I did that, EVERYTHING WORKED!!!!!!!!!!! Youtube worked, my game worked in BOTH GOOGLE CHROME AND INTERNET EXPLORER 11. It was like a miracle and a simple fix.
I hope I can save some people ALOT of aggravation and frustration. Adobe should have this fix displayed PROMINENTLY EVERYWHERE if it is indeed this simple. Let me know if this helps. All I know is that I had the same issues as everyone else in the forums and now it is all fixed. I have very limited knowledge, almost none. It just seemed that something was blocking the videos from coming up.

Thanks Mike. I'm not sure what I'm doing but I also re-downloaded the flash player and I got YouTube videos to play again. I have IE11 that I tried to uninstall (it won't let me) so I had to use a restore point, so videos I noticed in yahoo.ca can't play but I read lots of people having issues with this. But, by using a restore point, and re-downloading the flash player (a couple of time until it took), I got Youtube and my game back on IE11. I plan to use Chrome Google though after this experience as everything works there

Korean Support for Adobe Flash Player?

I have to go to Korean websites a good amount; however, there are some times when Korean is not being displayed well at all. It took me a while to figure out why certain Korean test was displayed well, but others were not.
I have finally found the culprit, and it is that I don't have Korean support in Adobe Flash Player. I tried researching how to enable Korean support, and how to download a package to add Korean support; however, I have not been able to do that.
How can I add Korean support to Adobe Flash Player?
For pictures of the issue plus more information, I have a StackExchange question on SuperUser here: http://superuser.com/questions/810427/korean-support-for-adobe-flash

Just for more information.
I work at a Korean company and have both Korean and non-Korean coworkers.
All the laptops of the Korean workers DONT have this issue. Their laptops display the Korean text in the flash player correctly!
All the laptops of the Non-Korean workers DO have this issue.
This issue is browser-agnostic. It occurs on all browsers!
All Non-Korean workers have Windows 8 or 8.1
All Korean workers have Windows 7 through Windows 8.1
I think this issue is for all users that don't have a Korean laptop. I will try double-checking the one Non-Korean coworker that DID buy a Korean laptop here in Korea. Maybe this is not an issue for said coworker??
You won't have access to my company's site however, I have seen some websites that DO and DONT display Korean text, and they are from the exact same .swf file
(ie. here --> http://img.kbs.co.kr/cms/drama/marryme/images/sub_menu.swf?hn=1&mn=3) and the webpage this .swf file is from is here --> 등장인물 | [화면해설] 결혼해주세요 | KBS 2TV
I cannot verify if this issue is related to the older text facilities that pre-date multi-byte text support; however, I can provide some images of the issue.
If you need more information, then please let me know what you will need.
