Missing tabs after flash player update

to update flash player, we must close our browsers. when the update finishes, the installer launches a browser with one and only one tab, congratulating us on our excellent job of updating flash. all other tabs are gone.
i don't need to be congratulated, certainly not through a browser with my tabs closed. perhaps the updater could congratulate me as it's last action. if the only test for a successful update is to launch a browser, can that be done without closing the tabs?
i'm sure this isn't the proper forum for this question, but there seems to be none for flash player installation problems.

Spotlight search “Flash Player.plugin” (Search “This Mac” and choose "Show All in Finder")
Right click the Plugin and select “Open Enclosing Folder” Trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt files.
Go to: [user]/Library/Preferences.
Note: You'll need to hold the "Option" key when you click "Go" from the Finder menu to access the [user] Library:
Without the "Option" key
And WITH
Trash the Macromedia folder there.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support. Trash the Macromedia folder there.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Preference Panes (not Preferences, but Preference Panes). Trash the Flash Player.prefpane file there.
Empty the trash. (You may have to reboot to be able to empty the Trash with the Flash Player prefpane in it.)
Download the Flash Player (For Mac OS X).
Quit Safari and go to your downloads folder. Double click the DMG to “mount it”.
It will appear on your desktop and a small window will open.
Double click the installer. If you see a warning, click “Open” to let it run.
Click “I have read and agree… etc.” and click “Install”. Enter your password when asked.
You may see the following: click “Force Close All” if you do, and then click “Retry”.
The installer will run.
Choose your update preference, and click “Done”.
Open Safari again and click Safari>Preferences (Cmd+,)
Go to the Security tab. Make sure “Allow plug-ins” is checked.
That should be a COMPLETE "clean install" for OS 10.7.5.

Mac: InDesign CC crashing after Flash Player update

System: Mac OS X 10.8.4, Adobe CC (InDesign, Photoshop, Muse) running on a MacBook Pro retina from mid-2012.
Yesterday, after the Media Encoder and DPS update, InDesign begun to crash and did not run. I already reported this in another thread.
I restored my system from a clean, perfectly working clone. No problems at all. Of course, I avoided the CC updated for now.
Now, I did update the Flash Player (from 11.7.7 to 11.8). No other changes were made. And InDesign begun to crash AGAIN. This time, if I chose reopen from the crash notice, I can run the application. But it is very clear it is caused by Flash Player.
The error report:

Back to my initial rotice, I saw the crash is not due to Flash Player. This is what I made:
1. Restored again the system. Did open ID. It runs ok the first time. Closed ID and tryed to open it again. Crash. I do not did anything else after the restore so it is not caused by Flash Player update.
2. Tried the solution already known regarding users fonts. Not to avail.
3. Maybe another app would cause the problem. So I begun to remove apps which run with the system start. For each one, I did an uninstall, restart the system and then tried to open ID. The results:
3.1. BetterTouchTool: ID kept crashing.
3.2. Midnight: ID kept crashing.
3.3. Boom: ID kept crashing.
3.4. FocusMask: ID kept crashing.
3.5. KeyRemap4MacBook: ID kept crashing
3.6. ClipMenu: ID kept crashing.
4. Thought some customization could also interfere with ID. So tried:
4.1. Remove personal keyboard layuot: ID kept crashing.
4.2. Remove personal keybindings: ID kept crashing.
5. Considered Spotlight indexing may also be the cause. So I made sure this process is not underway prior to open ID. Crash again.
6. Maybe the problem is releated with some very specific system privilegies ID needs and are not the default ones set up in the system. In order to fix this I did set up total control to my user over all folders I guess ID may be using, propagating these privilegies to subfolders. No better.
7. Created another admin user and then I am able to use InDesign CC with it (thanks, Steve!). This is a solution I tried to avoid with the 1–6 procedures because I knew I ahd to invest several hours in order to configure the system to this new user. But at leat it is working. Anyway, another problem appeared: Creative Cloud app says it has an update available but the installation fails every time.
So, I exchanged a critical problem to a relevant one. Better but still far from good.
By now, I really do not believe the ID crash is a sytem problem. See, I made a clean install of OS X 10.8, updated to 10.8.4, tested all and saved a clone. Then, added all the apps I use except CC, configured them all, did tests and saved a second clone. Finally, I did add CC apps (actually, just ID, PS and Muse), tested them and again saved a clone. Everything is ok with restores made from these three clones. I have 84 apps working fine –including other CC apps– and just ID crashing. Nothing indicates the problem is with the system and not InDesign.
Actually, I still think there is something to do with file and folder privilegies used by Adobe installer which does not match the user ones. The fail to update CC app also seems to point to this. But I do not know enough about these deep system administration issues to do further investigation. I suppose Adobe will release an update within a month and point to some "system conflict" with ID.

Audio and video problem when streaming after flash player update

After i updated to the latest flash player (11.7) I have problems with video streaming. The video plays but after a while the audio stops and the video will keep playing but will also stop after a few seconds. Is the new flash player update at fault?

hello volden, your system details list two versions of the flash plugin (Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700 & Shockwave Flash 11.6 r602) as being installed in firefox, which can lead to problems.
please try to use the [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html flash uninstaller provided by adobe] to remove both versions and afterwards only install the current plugin from https://www.adobe.com/go/getflash

Problems after flash player update with firefox

I have problems with video streaming on firefox after the flash player updated to 11.7. The video plays but the audio suddenly stops while the video continues to play but will also stop after a few seconds. Does anyone know what may cause this problem?

Hello,
Flash Player installs to the Windows directory that standard user accounts do not have access to, therefore, Admin access is required for installation.

Losing internet connection after Flash Player update.

Recently, I suffered from a Fake Flash Player infection involving the Adobooaan hijacker malware. I had great difficulty getting rid of it and in the end resorted to using Spyhunter and then hand-deleting the things it came up with.
[Yes, I know Spyhunter is semi-malware itself, eats cpu space and and keeps popping up every half hour demanding payment, but I have it on a leash. I used AVG PC Tuner to set Spyhunter so it runs only when specifically told to, and then switches off when I've finished with it.]
Using Spyhunter in this way got rid of the Fake Flash Player hijacker when MalwareBytes, Spybot and Adware-Removal-Tool had all failed, but one of the side effects was that I had to re-nstall, or at least partially re-install, the real Flash Player. Now, I keep losing my internet connection, and it appears to be happening when I get a "The Adobe Flash Player Update Service service entered the stopped state." system event.
The outage affects all browsers, and only access to web pages online. I can still get emails, and open web-pages which are on my own PC, but I lose access to all online pages. The only cure for it seems to be to re-boot my router by switching it off for a minute, yet my PC's connection to the router seems to be sound, and my ISP's tech team say the router looks fine from their end.
Spyhunter is a bit over-enthusiastic - it identified a legitimate TextBridge file as a malware of the same name, e.g., so I'm wondering whether in removing the Fake Flash Player infection I've accidentally deleted some legitimate Adobe Flash Player file or cookie, causing Flash Player to switch off my internet connection at the end of every update check. But if so, how do I fix it? Is there some way of getting into Flash Player to set options? It doiesn't seem to have an icon or to appear in the programs list as something you can get at and twiddle with.

Yep, I've got the exact same problem. I'm using a PowerMac G4, running 10.4.5 (I think). I can't say the problem started happening, since I just started using the sleep function (computer generates a lot of heat in my apartment in the summertime!).
But yea, I sleep it using the HW button, and bring it back, and no internet connection. I'm not sure if it's the computer (SW caused) or the ISP (disconnects if the computer doesn't respond to pinging). I am using Comcast cable Internet, which is DHCP me thinks.

Did you install BOTH the ActiveX and Standard plugins?
You may need to do a "clean install".
Download the following files by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"
Flash Player Uninstaller
Shockwave Player Uninstaller
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Save ALL files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN anything yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLERS to remove all instances of Flash Player.
Next, run the ActiveX Installer.
Lastly, run the Installer for other browsers.
Once Flash Player is installed go to: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp
Download BOTH files, the one on the right FIRST by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"... the other by clicking and following the steps to download the FULL ActiveX installer.
After the ActiveX is installed, run the Standard Shockwave FULL installer from the Downloads folder.
Once everything is installed, see:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer to make 100% sure that Flash Player is enabled and NOT being blocked by ActiveX controls.

Problems after Flash Player update

Hi,
i am writing because i have some strange sensations in my
application after i updated my flash player to version 9,0,115,0.
this is the problem:
i have a dynamic textfield with htmlt text, in this html text
i have some img-tags which i use to add Sprites into the htmltext
that have some kind of user interactivity (rollover, click...).
until now everything worked fine, just with the update i have
the problem that i lost the interactivity to this objects.
just some sprites which have embedded assets from a swf have
the interactivity (rollover, click...) but also jsut on the
embedded symbols and not on the whole sprite.
example: if i put the event on the sprite:
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doSomething)
the event will be just dispatched if i click on the embedded
symbols.
i tried Security.allowDomain('*') but this didnt solved my
problem
its like i am getting no focus on the sprite.
like i said before... it was working before the update :-(
greetings and thankful for every help!

Hi Alex, It could be that with the Upgrade to SP2(a major upgrade) it upset Flash Player:-) I've had various glitches when making system changes as well. Then with the 10.1 version of Flash Player being released at the same time, you may have just got caught in the cross fire:-)
It sounds like you did everything correctly, but I just want to touch base on the ActiveX Control not being registered.
When this message is received it can mean the Administrator Account was not used, giving the permissions needed for that. It could also mean that your Anti-Virus/Firewall could have blocked it. Some A/V's even when disabled prior to Uninstalling/Installing, will re-enable upon the first Reboot after the Uninstall.
Let me know on these.
Thanks,

Download Manager fails to close after Flash Player update

I recently updated my Flash Player to 10.1. The Adobe Download Manager screen indicates 100% installation, but the screen doesn't close. When I go to close the Download Manager screen, it indicates that an installation is still in progress. I have validated that Flash Player has successfully installed on the Adobe site and it appears to work fine with links in emails that require Flash Player, but I think that my computer has not fully acknowledged a successful and complete installation because my HP wireless printer Solution Center program is not accessible on my computer. I had this program disappear several months ago and it was due to my needing to update Flash Player to the previous updated version. I suspect I'm experiencing the same problem again.
I have an IBM ThinkPad tablet PC, running Windows XP 32 bit. I typically use IE 8 (although I also have FireFox on my machine). I have tried uninstalling Flash Player and Adobe Download Manager through my Control Panel and that doesn't seem to fix the situation. Any ideas? (I would really like to get my Solution Center software back up and working so I can go back to using my scanner.)

The Adobe download manager seems to cause all sorts of problems, so I never use it. I usually download executable installers from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
There have been other topics in this forum regarding HP solution center recently; try a forum search on HP +solution +center

GET+ error after Flash Player Update

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and have been having no problems with Flash. Today I got a pop-up saying
there was an update available for Flash Player. I clicked OK to download and now whenever I go to a Flash site it tells me I must install Flash to use the site. If I try to download Flash and install it the installer starts to open to show the progress, but then I get a message that says "getPlus+(R) has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I cannot access any Flash sites. I tried using Windows Restore to reset it back to before the update, but it is unable to complete the restore process due to an "unspecified error".

Try this:
download the Flash Player uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html (save to disk);
download the offline installer
for Internet Explorer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe (save to disk);
for all other browsers http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe (save to disk);
close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller, followed by the installer(s).

After installing Flash player updates, Recently Closed Windows in History menu lost

Hi Friends,
This is just an annoying problem, not really serious, I guess. Whenever I download and install Flash Player updates, History > Recently Closed Tabs, and History > Recently Closed Windows, are wiped out.
This is a problem for me, because when I log on to my computer every morning, I use History > Restore Previous Session, to get back all the tabs I had open the night before. And often also Recently closed Windows, if I had a 2nd and/or 3rd Ff window open last night. After I install Flash Player, the previous session becomes the Adobe update site. I think I can avoid losing the previous session, by making sure I open my previous session before I start the download and installation.
(I don't use fully automatic updates for Flash. I have the system alert me when it's ready, and then the next time I log on to the internet, the download popup window appears. I don't know why it waits until the next time I log on, instead of right after I click ok (and also ok on Spybot S&D and WinPatrol alerts). And I know you can't provide support for that part. But just to let you know all the relevant info :-) .)
So normally, if I've done something to lose my previous session (with all my usual tabs) (usually when I'm in a hurry and don't notice that I've opened Ff without restoring previous session) I can still get that session because it shows up in Recently Closed Windows.
But after I install the Flash update, Recently Closed Windows (and Recently closed Tabs) are both wiped out.
I'm hoping someone can sort this out, and I can just change some setting somewhere, to prevent this. Or maybe like the previous session, and remembering to open it, before I start the dl, it might just be a matter or altering my habits. I can't think of any habit changing that would work though. So that's why I'm asking all you wise Ff users :-) Hopefully it's not a bug?
Thank you very much for any insight, comments or suggestions :-D
All best.

hello, this problem happens since the adobe installer triggers the opening of a browser window once the update is finished, which then overwrites the last session...
you could try if adding ''SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1'' to the adobe mms.cfg configuration file addresses that issue, as described here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/administration-configure-auto-update-notification.html

Real Player Video Downloader does not work anymore - isn't even accessible anymore - after Firefox / Adobe Flash Player update, how to fix this?

Real Player Video Player no longer provides option to download after my Firefox / Adobe Flash Player updated. How can this be fixed?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After FireFox / Adobe Flashplayer Update

Hi David, try dropping the .dll extension, in fact you can just enter dom.ipc.plugins and it should come up. Or enter the whole thing and then backspace until it comes up. Also, I have Windows 7(x64) and this fix worked fine for me.

After Flash Player 10.1 update, BitmapData copying no longer works?

Hi,
I recently updated to the 10.1 flash player. However, after the update - none of the application within which I'm using the BitmapData class (AS 2.0) work anymore. The source graphic loads fine, but the .draw procedure that used to work fine no longer works at all.
I'm definately not alone on this issue, as a number of my colleagues in the office have reported the same behaviour. Once I uninstalled the 10.1 update and reinstalled an older version 9.x update, the BitmapData copying works fine again.
Bit stumped on this one. Anyone else experiencing this issue?
An example of one of the SWFs that use this facility is shown at the top of the page here (in the grey box area):
http://www.southeastfarmmachinery.net/
Here's a screengrab of the issue in question:
I'm running Windows 7 (32bit), this issue seems to affect Flash Player in all browsers (tested in IE 7, IE 8, Firefox, I haven't got around to testing it in Chrome, Safari or Opera etc..).
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Andy

Thanks for the reply, but I think the problem isn't as simple as you suggest.
Firstly, I'm not sure why I would need to update my video drivers to the latest version, when clearly this functionality was working 100% correctly before the Flash Player update. And on this same note - what about the many devices that run OEM hardware (i.e. laptops) that have pre-baked drivers that are never updated? (Thanks, nVidia!)
Secondly, I'm pretty surprised that the suggestion was made to disable hardware acceleration. Why would this be necessary? I understand that Flash Player ties into the GPU for some tasks - but as far as I'm aware, the visuals we working in one version (presumably with the default hardware acceleration enabled), and now - they are not. Does this imply specific changes to the hardware acceleration code used in Flash? Or is it, as I suspect, a more serious problem with a fixed-bug that has unravelled another part of the player.
The main issue I have here is that we now have many clients complaining that their flash clips we've made (that use similar functionality as that linked to above) no longer work - and they see the same white screen.
I appreciate your insights here - but you must appreciate that we can't just start emailing all our clients saying, "Oh, by the way - can you go into 'x' control panel and disable your flash hardware acceleration, oh and whilst you're at it - download and install the latest video drivers for your machine.". They'd have a conniption - and we can't expect our clients to just do all of that for the sake of a mistake made by Adobe.
You mentioned that this isn't the right forum for raising these specific issues - although I can see that mostly all bug issues seem to end up here. Would you be so kind as to point out where I should be posting this issue, so that I can bring it to the attention of the right people?
I was hoping more people would notice this, but I appreciate that it's more of a developer-specific problem.
