Latest Flash @ 11 July 2010 - Firefox.

Dear Adobe People,
Firefox & Flash
Having trawled through
embedded  player on BBC news sites doesn't open
and several other similar threads, it's pretty clear that there's a major issue. I have the very same probs.  I have uninstalled sequentially all the potential conflictors and cleaned registry both by hand and automagically by program to leave no trace.
Clean reinstall of Firefox (latest) and Flash (Latest) produces no BBC capability.
IE is fine, but I don't use IE.
Just let me know when it's fixed, yes?
Thanks,
Andy

Same problem for me as well, ridiculous. only 10.3 will work for me, every version of FF and flash after 10.3 = crash!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Has anyone scanned the latest flash player download for firefox

    I was wondering if anyone else has scanned a copy of the latest file dowloaded from adobe flash player for Firefox. I ran a scan from www.virustotal.com and it picked up a single virus detection called Win32.Corrupt.Ag by eSafe.
    Here are the results from the www.virustotal.com
    http://www.virustotal.com/file-scan/report.html?id=a2ad37e954618e15c2cdcc2ed427b6325d4b259 c0ca035c859246d427ccc3a38-1303230368
    Thanks in advance

    I ran the downloaded file on www.virusotal.com and this time it came out clean. Apparently eSafe had updated their virus definitions and it was a false positive. Interesting when you run across these sort of things.
    Here are the results of the exact same file. However the scan was done a few days later.

  • Latest Flash version crashing both Firefox and IE

    Hello.
    Been using Flash in both IE and Firefox for years with no major problems until the last update a little over a week ago. Now, whenever I am watching video for more than about 5 minutes, the process for either browser's memory grows steadily way way up from where it normally is - and where it started (and where it used to stay) - and eventually crashes the player, the browser and freezes the entire computer. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Flash and it hasn't helped. I stopped using Explorer a long time ago and switched to Firefox but went back and checked to see if it would be any different using that browser -figuring it might just be a Firefox issue, but the same thing happens. So I just downloaded Chrome and will try and see what happens with that - but am very troubled, since this has caused me great unhappiness and stress over the last week.
    So the problems seem to be with 15.0.0.152 / 167
    Any suggestions? Is this a known issue? Thanks.
    Windows XP - all up to date. No other issues. System is fine. Have run all sorts of system checks and malware scans and it shows up clean.
    Thanks again.

    Same thing happens with Chrome. So all three different browsers - same problem with flash.
    Was trying to watch a 4 hour long live stream of a game tonight - and needless to say, having to deal with a crash and have page file skyrocket every 5 minutes was not fun.

    Hi all.
    I have a very rare issue with flash player.
    First some information:
    I'm using Windows Vista 64-bit, and the latest Mozilla Firefox.
    When I want to wath a movie on Facebook, ik keep getting the message 'Upgrade needed for Flash player. To view this, you need to download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player'
    I already did this like a thousand times..
    I also first used the uninstaller, than installed it again, but I keep getting the message. I have the same problem with IE also.
    Hope you can help me.

    Hello.
    Thanks for the e-mail.
    But when I look in IE, i can't see it in the list, it isn't there.
    When I look in FF, The only one I see is called 'Shockwave Flash 10.0.2.54'
    Thank you,

    Thanks. Using IE go to Tools>Manage add ons and find Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control..Flash10e.ocx and make sure it is enabled.
    Do the same thing using FF and look in plug-ins for SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is enabled.
    I would also check a few other sites as it could be this is isolated to Facebook.

  • Firefox29, on a new win7 computer which has never had ff installed, will not install the latest flash plugin from adobe.

    I promise to refrain from venting my disgust :-) but when FF 9 blew up the entire web. I had all kinds of issues so I did things like Bill Gates taught us to do. I re-installed windows 7, brand new, formatted HD and all. The very first thing I did was open IE to download FF29 from the mozilla site and it installed. I went to pages I know have fits with flash on purpose, www.nydailynews.com, for instance and got the message that no flash was installed, do I want to install it? Well, yes, I have brand new FF on a brand new computer, so to ahead. Did the usual, installed Flash, shut down, and even rebooted the computer, and golly gee, the web pages tell me I have no flash installed. Its in IE, and of course chrome, and it appears in the installed program control panel, but I can't use flash with FF 29.
    I wiped the hard drive and reinstalled win 7, then installed ff 28. Went to adobe and installed their latest flash version, and still no flash in any version of firefox. I also checked the option to never update, but when I rebooted an opend FF29, it miraculously turned into FF29, and of course still does not work with the flash plugin.
    I think firefox has had a world of trouble with Adobe Flash for over a year and have hoped for a solution. Basically a browser that cannot run Flash media is totally useless. I wonder why this problem was no addressed and corrected, when instead all the the resources were put into raping my computer and forcing FF29 onto it?
    I am not a cry baby, who wants to complain, but will you please fix this issue so I don't have to abandon my favorite browser.. I don't enjoy Chrome, and IE is just not an option for me.
    Before you make any moreoverhauls on the UI, could you fix the problems with flash. I find it a little condescending to tell a 25 year user of computers to make sure " you have the latest versions" when in fact I have a brand new install of windows and the very latest from Adobe and Mozilla and they do no wok together, even when I down grade to FF 28, which as I told you, automatically upgrades to FF 29 each time I boot up.
    Please help. IF installing the latest Adobe onto a brand new hard drive and install of windows 7 fails, what do you suggest, as the usual " version issue" cannot apply here.
    FWIW, I have vista on my laptop with the same problems, the same reinstalls and the same guaranteed latest versions. Since the hd is formtted, there cannot be an residual FF dlls hanging around or in the registry.
    I have always seen open source as the way to the future, since the first PC arrived, but its looking like a bad idea.
    If you want to build a firefox that works, I will pay for it, so long as I can get help when things break. Browsers are huge in the web, so paying for reliable performance seems like a fair thing to do.
    I am sorry, but I am frustrated at the lack of progress towards a solution and really do not wish to be told to see if I am using the latest versions. I have taken every step possible and gone all the way to a brand new machine and FF does not work with flash reliably.
    Help? Please?

    adobe test page says it is installed. but I said, some pages I visit say I don't have it installed.
    I use prefbar ( I delete it and reinstall to make sure its not an issue) usually because it lets me turn off flash and avoid the crashing and locking up but when I check the flash block on prefbar, it says " plugin is not loaded"
    I posted from the machine that does not work, but it does not work on my Vista Laptop, or my daughter's computer either. In all cases, I wiped the drives and reinstalled the OS and went directly to Firefox for 29 and to adobe for their latest.
    Flash IS installed on my machine... It works in IE, and Chrome, but firefox 29 does not install the flash plugin, even tho the installer says all is well
    The reason I went totally clean is to make sure there was no process blocking it or if Java was creating the issue as well. The reality is, I started with a brand new computer, three times, and Flash will not load into Firefox 29 in any case
    I have started clean many times now and backed up and installed ff 28. I had no problem with the flash plugin using ff28, . I would have stayed there, but when shut down ff 28 and opened it later, it "magically downgraded to version 29" and i do mean " downgraded -( even tho I had gone into options and said do not install updates.
    I am grateful for your attention. I find that web browsers are very important anymore, an a non functional one makes the web a waste. I mentioned www.nydailynews.com and would really not want to make a long list of every page that demands a flash plugin, for they are legion that I don't have, mostly because when the page wants flash, FF locks up. Its will not even let me copy the URL to try and make a list, but the browser is totally locked up and I have to kill the process I get the message I have been getting for about a year that the shockwave plugin has stopped working. There is no shockwave on my computer.
    I know it looks like I have two different problems as the plugin does not load, but for instance, when I got it worrking in FF28, it loaded but constantly crashed an locked up the browser with the shockwave message, even tho I never install shockwave any time
    Frustration is the word for the day, or the week :-)
    Thanks much
    Kind regards,
    John

    Hi Anne,
    Your version of Safari is still supported.  Please see Adobe Flash Player | Tech specs for supported OS and browsers.
    If the Flash Player plugin is in the Plug-ins (disabled) folder it's because it's an older version that Apple has disabled in Safari.  This has nothing to do with whether or not Flash Player supports the browser.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "when i click on flash player itself i am told there is no application to open it."  Flash Player.plugin only works in the browser to view Flash content in the browser.  The plugin does not open files outside of the browser.  If you have SWF files you'd like to view outside of the browser, then you'll need the Flash Player projector. However, based on your previous comments this doesn't appear to be what you are trying to do.
    Google Chrome does embed Flash Player in it, while Firefox does not.   Mozilla has also recently started blocking older versions of Flash Player in Firefox similar to what Apple is doing in Safari.
    Following the 'clean install' instructions should result in you having the latest version of Flash Player installed that will not be blocked by the browser.

  • Flash player freezes in Firefox

    Flash player is causing Firefox to freeze for about 30 seconds whenever I access a website which uses flash.
    I am using the latest version of Firefox (v19.0.2) and the latest version of Adobe Flash (v11.6.602.171). This same problem has existing for at least the last 5 versions released by Firefox and Adobe Flash Player. My OS is Win7 64-bit.
    I am 100% certain that flash is the source of the Firefox freezing problem because I can cause the Firefox freezing to stop and start again by disabling and enabling the Adobe Flash plugin. In order for me to make Firefox usable, I always disable the Adobe Flash plugin.
    I have read on the web that many other Firefox users in the Win7 environment have the same problem that Firefox freezes when Adobe Flash is installed and enabled. There are many reports that the freezing in Firefox can be solved by disabling protected mode in Adobe Flash.
    Unfortunately, the method available for disabling protected mode will not work for myself or anyone else that works on computers issued and supported by my Fortune 500 company. The method of adding a line to the mms.cfg file requires users to have admin rights to editing files in the \windows\system32 directory structure. The company I work for has all computers without such admin privileges. Since there is no alternate for disabling protected mode, myself and all 4000 of my colleagues have no options for fixing this freezing problem.
    Can you please solve this issue by either 1) working with Firefox so that the browser will no longer freeze when Adobe Flash player is installed, enabled, and protected mode is enabled, or 2) make protected mode a configurable feature that can be enabled or disabled by any user group in Windows Control Panel.
    Thanks in advance for you consideration,
    jlavie5555

    Hi jlavie5555,
    I'm sorry you're encountering these pauses.  We work very closely with Mozilla and have been hard at work trying to solve all related protected mode issues since this security feature was released.  We do have a few additional troubleshooting steps you might want to consider taking (in addition to disabling protected mode.)  Please see this faq for details:
    How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
    We also have a new 11.7 beta available that contains significant changes to improve protected mode.  I suspect you might be blocked from installing it, but if this option is available to you I would recommend giving it a try.

  • I have Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, but I'm still missing Flash Player?

    So I have installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, and I'm able to watch youtube videos on my browser and other things that require flash player, but I have a disc that i got along with my Samsung monitor, and when I put it in my computer, it says that I do not infact have flash player. Also, when I try playing a game, DawnGate, theres a black box where a video should be, and it says that i do not have flash player, and it is required to watch these videos. I tried uninstalling, and I was unable to watch youtube, and when i reinstalled, I was able to watch youtube again, but that did not fix my problem. Is there something I'm missing? I look forward to hearing from someone soon.

    Odds are it's looking for the IE plugin: (A lot of software just assumes ALL Windows users are "slaves to Microsoft" and only have IE installed.)
