Microphone not working in Firefox Flash Applets

I have Arch 3.6.6-1. I am trying to use my laptop microphone on a website with flash content. The sound on my system is configured using pulseaudio (Version 2.1).
Specifically at www.duolingo.com, where I'm unable to access any settings or set any permissions with regards to access to microphone device.
I am able to use arecord to record a sample from the microphone and replay it. I am also able to use my microphone on gtalk through gmail where the settings state that it is recording from "Built in Analog Audio". The same show up on pavucontrol in the Recording section when active.
Whereas on duolingo, when the flash recording applet loads up, no recording stream is shown in pavucontrol.
I believe I'm missing some configuration here, which I have been unable to find after multiple google searches.
Please advice.

Yeah as I mentioned sound is working in firefox. The microphone is also working as far as gmail chat is concerned.
But the microphone is not detected for flash websites.

The microphone in my desktop pc works fine with kde and skype but not with Adobe Flash Player.

Any ideas where/what to look for?
Thanks

Flash drag and drop not working on Firefox for android browser

Drag and drop functionality is not working using Firefox Browser for Android on tablet. We tested with flash action script 2.0 & 3.0 content, both have same issue. Specs of the tab and OS are as follows.
Android - Kitkat 4.4.2
Tab models - Lenovo A7600H and Samsung Tab4 T531
Please refer to a previous case raised on the same issue here at this link (Case 1029615) - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029615
Additionally, we observed that the object on which Drag and Drop event was triggered, is moving little bit when we double tap.
Does Firefox provide any libraries to support Drag and Drop functionality on Flash? We are using Geekoview api to execute flash content in our app. Will the same support be provided in Geekoview as well?
Are there other folks facing the same issue? Is there a solution or workaround to get this feature running?

Flash on Android is no longer supported by Adobe. While Firefox does support basic functionality we mainly focus on legacy video applications. You may run into issues with Flash and Geckoview. I doubt we have any resources to support that configuration.

Flash Player 11.3.300.262 Not working with Firefox. I think I found the problem.

*Flash Player 11.3.300.262 is not working with Firefox. I think I found the problem.*
Millions of people got off work & turned on there computers recently to discover that Firefox is not playing any videos or flash content. Just like me, millions of people are randomly searching the internet in a futile & frustrating attempt at answers. Unfortunately, many of those people will simply stop using firefox & deem it a glitchy, unreliable browser.
This happened to me a couple days ago. I started up my computer & got a pop-up from Adobe saying that I need to update my flash player to 11.3.300.262. I've always thought of adobe as being a reliable software company, so I clicked on it with confidence that things will be working even smoother. To my horror, I relalized that right after the update, my main browser, firefox was destroyed. Then I went on the frustrating process of uninstalling, re-installing, running virus scan, researching the internet like a lost child. I said to myself, "that's why I hate updating stuff, because updates always seem to change stuff you don't want it to change & there always seems to be a problem with the updates." I usualy update software months after it releases, because microsoft & all the other software companies always seem not to test there stuff properly before releasing them. Then we have to look at a glitchy computer until the next update fixes it. Well, that is my rant. Now let me discuss the problem I found.
Problem:
What I did was, go into my firefox extentions menu & I disabled the 11.3.300.262 & I re-enabled the previous flash player. After that, everything worked perfect again. Then a today (a week later), I turned on my computer & my firefox wasn't playing any videos or flash content again. I went into my firefox extenions menu again, & I discovered that my old flash player had been deleted, & this new glitchy 11.3.300.262 had been enabled. Why did adobe feel the need to into my computer & automaticly delete & update my flash player. Now it doesn't work. THIS IS REALY FRUSTRATING!
The Issue I discovered:
"RealPlayer" is the most popular video program & it is installed on millions of computers. For some strange reason Firefox does not want its users to use Real Player. Specifically the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin 15.0.2. I also discovered that my Browser Record Plugin 15.0.2 was automatically disabled when the Adobe 11.3.300.262 was automatically updated also.
- Maybe this could be because of some copyright conspiracy to keep people from downloading videos from the web.
- Maybe firefox wants people to use there download add-on instead of RealPlayers downloader.
I don't know what ther reason is. But what I do know is Nobody is going to delete there RealPlayer from there computer just to use FireFox. We can simply use Chrome or Internet explorer. I took the advise from Adobe & disabled the FireFox RealPlayer Extention. I also went into my RealPlayer preferences options, But there was no option to disable download recording from FireFox. BECAUSE I ALREADY DISABLED THE ADD-ON in FireFoxes menu.
Solution:
Step 1: Adobe needs to update all the computers with the previous flash player. That way we can choose to enable the previous flash player in our FireFox. or wait until a new update fixes the problem with firefox.
Step 2: Adobe & FireFox need to get together & go back to the drawing board. They need to create a update that actually works on computers that have Real Player installed on them. I don't care which company does the update. All I care about is if it works. Thank You.
Oh yea, Im running FireFox 13.0.1, Windows 7, HP computer, Real Player is up to date.

Hey Chris,
I was able to duplicate this issue on my Windows 7 laptop as follows:
     1) Completely uninstall FlashPlayer (using your tool) as well as Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Maintenance Service (used Windows 7 - uninstall from Control Panel). Please note that I checked the box that said "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" to ensure that Firefox was completely gone from my laptop.
     2) I then went out to the Firefox website and downloaded the "Firefox Setup 13.0.1.exe" app to my laptop. I ran this app to install Firefox.
     3) I then went to the following website http://www.ishmael.org.uk/karaoke02.php as I know that this URL uses Flash Player (obviously you can go to any URL that uses Flash Player - I'm just letting you know which one I used). I then clicked on the icon on this page to install Flash Player.
Once the install was completed, the URL stops responding and appears to be locked up (although it will occassionally hiccup and display portions of the page and then lock up again). You will eventually get a pop-up notice from Firefox that has the header "Warning: Unresponsive script" and says the following:
     A script on this page may be busy or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to to see of the script will complete. Script: chrome://browser/content/browser.js:6551
Selecting "Stop script" will get Firefox working until you hit another page that uses Flash Player.
To ensure that the above URL is not the culprit, I used one from your website http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html and had the same results.
Hope this info helps!
Jeff
NOTE: As a reminder, I do not have RealPlayer installed on my laptop (and never have had it installed)

Flash Player not working in Firefox

Suddenly Firefox will not play flash player content called
when I play games online. It worked fine a few days ago.
When I click on the link, it opens the game page, but where
the game should appear, I see a blank black box. When I click on
the "Play online game" link I also get a large empty black box.
I am running Windows XP on an HP Pavilion ze2315us laptop. I
recently installed trial version of Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro.
In efforts to fix the problem I tried the following:
Removed adblocker addresses that might conflict.
Checked blocked sites
Removed and reinstalled Flash Player.
Reinstalled Firefox.
Set folder options to use Firefox to open SWF files
All to no avail.
I tried the web site in IE. Had to download and install Flash
Player again but it works fine in IE.
Afterwards, it still did not work in Firefox.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Please, in which OS did you worked?
In the past I with other versions, it did work without any problem.
Perhaps I can look if I have firewall is turned on?
Thanks in advance for any answer,

RealPlayer download feature not working in Firefox (but works in IE)

Realplayer download feature (cursor over a youtube video, "download this video" pops up) has recently quit working for me (I've been using it for months). I've searched knowledge bases and forums extensively and tried all the suggestions., such as rolling back from Flash Player 11.5 to 10.3 (no luck), disabling/enabling RealPlayer Download plugin in Firefox (no luck), etc. The one suggestion I'd like to try but can't is going into RealPlayer preferences and enabling/disabling the "Download and Record" function. I can't because all I have in my preferences is "Recording" and the options have nothing to do with downloading. None of the RealNetworks/RealPlayer support sites are helpful at all...
However, the download feature works just fine in Internet Explorer

Realplayer download does not work in Firefox. Someone suggested ant.com as an add-on. That works.
For youtube I use YTD downloader (a youtube product). It is more reliable for youtube videos.

Google is NOT WORKING with Firefox 3.6.8, you can type in & Search but clicking on next is a dead link; does nothing?

Google is NOT working on Firefox 3.6.8, suddenly today. You can type in search and get results on initial page. Clicking on 'next' link or any number links is dead. Yahoo & Bing seem to work. I do not have a Google toolbar. Very frustrating. This suddenly happened today. Please check into it.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
*Shockwave Flash 10.0 r22
Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.

Animation will not work in Firefox. It works in Safari.

I created an animation and uploaded it to wordpress.com. Using Firefox, I went to the website to play the animation. But the animation wouldn't appear. I checked it again using the Safari browser. And the animation appeared and it worked fine. Why will it not work in Firefox? I uploaded the newest version of Adobe Flash and installed it. And I have the most recent version of Firefox on my Mac computer. Will someone fix my problem please? Thank you.

Hello. Thank you for the information. I checked if the flash plugin is activated in the Firefox browser using your instructions. And it is active. The problem seems to occur with all of the flash containing web pages in my wordpress site. My art machine animation and other animations on the site do not appear when the pages load. I checked other websites containing swf file animations and they work.
I'm providing the information that you suggested. And it is as follows...
Operating System: OSX Yosemite, version 10.10.3
Web Browsers: Safari, version 8.0.5 (10600.53.17)
                                  Firefox, version 37.0.2
                                  Chrome, version 42.0.2311.90
Problem: In my wordpress.com website, none of the .swf flash files will appear using the Firefox nor Chrome browsers. But they do in the Safari browser.
Direct link to the problem sites are as follows: Firefox- 3 Art Machine | Nora Christians
               Chrome- 3 Art Machine | Nora Christians
               Safari- 3 Art Machine | Nora Christians
The code that I used to upload the .swf file to wordpress.com is the same for all three browsers. I didn't write any different codes for any specific browser.

Battlelog (for battlefield 3) does not work with Firefox 15.0.1. It works fine with the older Firefox 14.0.1

The flash features on the Battlefield 3 site - battlelog.battlefield.com do not work when Firefox updates itself to 15.0.1 It does not load the pages correctly or does it let you select/ click on anything in the flash parts. When I uninstalled 15.0.1 and reinstalled Firefox 14.0.1 I unchecked the option to let firefox re-upgrade itself and battlelog works fine.

I do not wish you to break Firefox on Battelfield 3, but have you tried using the latest version of Flash Player. You should also remember that using outdated versions of Firefox increases security risks to your computer and personal data.
You may get an answer to this sort of question faster by asking on a forum related to that game site, (and if you do please post back with the solution preferably with a link).
Possibly you could consider using Firefox 15 and later as the day to day browser, and Firefox 14 only for the problem games.
*The simplest way to do that may be to install Firefox portable (I assume that will run a Firefox 14 version)
* A better way would be to install multiple versions of Firefox. That is often considered advanced, but I imagine most experienced computer users could do it easily (I can provide links to instructions). That has the advantage that the problem could be looked at a bit more closely, possibly even filing a bug if it appears to be a Firefox regression causing the problem.

Videos are not working in Firefox

Hey everyone,
This seems to be a common problem, but videos are not working on Firefox, and not just for YouTube. I have updated Adobe Shockwave and Flash, re-installed Firefox, deleted/created a Firefox profile, started up Firefox in Safe Mode, turned off HTML5, checked if any of my plug-ins are disabled, and none of those have helped.
When I get on YouTube and click a video, the video itself doesn't even load. On other sites, in the box where the video should be playing, it says "No video with supported format and MIME content can be found." This kind of confuses me because I have updated the Adobe Flash.
Thoughts? Anything would be appreciated at this point.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Video.seek() not working in Firefox

The Video.seek() method does not appear to be working in
Firefox.
It works fine in Flash Player 9 and IE.
I have the 9,115 plugin for Firefox.
Has anybody else ran into this problem?
Thanks!
dustoff.

Did a little more analysis.
NetStream.seek() does not work in FireFox if seek() is called
immediately after NetStream.play().
This does work in Flash Player 9.
However, I discovered that NetStream.seek() DOES work in
FireFox once the video is playing and called via an EventListener.
Just wanted to clarify.
However, in Firefox - I do want to show the first frame, and
then stop.
So any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Full Screen movies do not work in Firefox

Hi All,
I am having a problem publishing Flash 8 movies full screen.
They are fine in Internet Explorer. But Firefox crops the full
screen so that you only see a portion of the full screen movie.
I am using Firefox 2.0.0.4, as well as version 2.0.0.6 on my
laptop. Can't get full screen to work in Firefox most of the time,
but occasionally it seems to work. Is this a Firefox problem, or
Captivate problem?
An example, look at the full screen movie:
http://www.ikebarberlearningcentre.ubc.ca/health/tutorials/Google/Google%20Tutorial%20for% 20Health_fs.htm
Thanks, Suzan

Mmm.. Interesting... because I am using Firefox 2.0.0.4. I am
also using Firefox 2.0.0.6 on my laptop like you are, and it seems
to work fine. I guess it don't understand the technical details of
why full screen will not work on Firefox. What I find interesting
is that some of my full screen movies do work fine on 2.0.04. I
wonder if it the Flash Version in which the full screen is
published? I will try some further testing.
I am concerned because there are likely many users of earlier
Firefox versions, and I need to produce a full screen which will
work no matter which Firefox Version you use.
Thanks!
Suzan

Is your problem that the browser window refuses to display at
full screen or is the Flash movie itself not showing at it's proper
size? Knowing that would at least help us know where to look.

Can you post a link?
Does that only happen on that website or do you have that problem with all Flash content?
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.
* Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
* Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
* Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Google street view not working on firefox 14.0.1

google street view not working on firefox 14.0.1 - after moving the person to the map it goes blank. Have tried the fixes in the community support. Still works fine in IE

Do you have Flash installed? You need a different version of it for Firefox. The plugin for IE will not work with Firefox. You can get it here:

Adobe flashplayer not working with firefox

I have downloaded the latest adobe flashplayer plugin but it is not working with Firefox. It does work on Internet Explorer.

I'm running Vista 64 bit and the current version of Flash (11. whatever) doesn't apparently work with Vista 64 bit - why, I'm not sure but this is what happens when one company dominates the market like Adobe. Anyway, I have the 10. whatever version installed now and Flash is working in Chrome and in IE. This problem occurred because I updated Firefox to version 8, after which Flash was still working with the old version installed. THEN I got the annoyingly repetitive reminder from Adobe to update Flash to 11 and finally succumbed. After updating Flash, I could no longer get sound from any online videos. So I uninstalled, found a 10. version of Flash and figured that would solve the problem since Firefox 8 WAS working before using the 10. version. Not to be. Now I can't get it to work at all. And to tell you the truth I like the old interface of Firefox 7 much better anyway. SO... how do I get 7 back and hopefully resolve this problem so that I don't have to make IE my new browser - which I'm not too crazy to do since I've been using Firefox from day 1...
