My adobe flash plugin for firefox is not working? I have windows 7

I have uninstalled - reinstalled, I have checked plugins - and when I run the plugincheck via mozilla it says it needs up dated. ?? I have windows 7. I have specifically downloaded the version for firefox flashplaer 16 and windows / browser is still not recognizing it. This has been an issue I have been trying to correct now for 3 days and is sucking up my time as a designer working from my home. I'm very disappointed in the creation and issue of this product. Please help.
Sincerely,
Tracy

It looks like you have two Flash Plugins installed for Firefox.
Flash
Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0
I'm curious what that first one labeled simply as "Flash" has for a description in the add-ons manager. Does it say anything about Lightspark?

Flash Player for Firefox 24 not working, I believe install directory changes have something to do with it (linux).

I have just installed firefox 24 under debian (wheezy) and am having issues trying to get most things flash to run. Oddly enough Youtube seems to work, it tells me to install the plug-in initially then loads the video up anyway. Firefox throws a pop-up telling me I need to install a plug-in in order to view the content (on youtube, which videos play anyways). Other sites simply don't display the videos. Adobe's site doesn't display their little animation.
My firefox is installed in /opt/firefox
I also have two other directories which I believe are where the plugins may have been installed to.
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
-flash-mozilla.so
/usr/lib64/flash-plugin
-homecleanup
-libflashplayer.so
-license
-readme
-setup
I ran about:config and altered the following from false to true
plugins.load_appdir_plugins = true

Make sure that you have 32 bit versions of the plugins if you use a 32 bit Firefox version.

I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox

I can't install the Flash plugin for Firefox (Firefox version 1.5.0). I've tried to install the latest version 9.0.16.0 from the Adobe Download Centre. There are no error messages or warnings during the installation.
The Flash plugin for IE is working fine.
I've tried everything, uninstall the pre-installed version (7), re-install FireFox, uninstall all plugins, download and install everything over and over..... still the same problem.

Hi Stephan,
Thans for your reaction and suggestion.
I've cleaned up the register, deleted all the macromedia and flash keys.
Restarted, installed Flash plugin again, IE is working fine (again) but Firefox (and Opera!) only showing the message "Flash plugin needed" when I try to display a site with Flash content.
I have the same combination working on several desktops, does it have anything to do with te pre-installed software from Toshiba?
I have two Toshiba Sattelite's P100 with both exactly the same problems! Flash on IE working, Opera an Firefox NOT.

Flash plugin for Firefox: it has trouble after 6-9 hours!

Hi,
Vista32 sp2, 4GB Ram, ALL Adobe Flash plugin for FF versions, now 11.1.102.55.
perhaps dxdiag.txt needed?
Issue:
when Firefox 3.6 (in the past) or 8.0 (now) remains open, after 6-9 hours I become issues with Flash plugin for FF.
ALL YT videos (240p up to 1080p) playback with jumpiness!! with or without acceleration.
ActiveX for IE9 works fine on the same machine. No problem with Silverlight in FF.
Solution: kill the flash plugin process in task manager >refresh the YT video's page > playback again ok.
why the flash plugin is fatigued after 6 or 9 hours?
is it able to handle good the memory usage?
May you want to suggest me a workaround to get the video's palyback smoothly even if Firefox is running a lot of time (without killing the process in task manager)?
or could I to wait for an update of flash plugin in the future that adresses this issue?
Thanks a lot in advance.
best regards.

Hi,
Thank you both for your reply!
@Campbell:
the same effects with or without having the flash acceleration enabled.
I dont know if I am enough able to file a bug request.
I have done (hopefully it is right?
I warmly hope that the Adobe Engineers will read and reproduce my issue and they may want to send me an email if the issue will be resolved.
this were wonderfull.
my OS/hardware seems not too old
no problem in watching/editing full HD content.
if you mean that my bug report looks correct and exhaustive, please forward him to the developers.
(I hope that the report will not be closed, even if it becomes poor votes). thanks.
@ ɹəuəllıʍ :
Yes the same problem in Firefox 8.0 too
(in my old FF 3.6: no issues regarding the jumpiness in Silverlight, therefore I think that this was/is perhaps an issue in "Flash player for FF" only: jumpiness after 6-9 hours usage).
But the new FF 8.0 offers the same behaviour after 6-9 hours.

install_flash_player.exe
I requested our Admin to deploy the above file via SMS but he told me it will be better if I can find an MSI Download insteade of EXE.
Where I can get MSI Download of this EXE File?

Sorry, I misunderstood - yes, this will install the Flash Player plugin for non-IE browsers. But so will install_flash_player.exe from your first post.
According to the link you posted, it seems to be required to install the Flash Player plugin to view Flash content in PDF files.
On the other hand I do not quite understand why there is a NPSWF32.dll file in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader ...
Thanks again Pat, but apologies, as I am not quite sure I understand what you mean...
This link you posted:

Flash plugin for Firefox: 2, 3 speed audio?

Hi all,
I am having problem with audio using the flash plugin for Firefox. The video
is OK but the audio seems to be played at double or triple speed, which sounds
funy.
Here is the address:
http://news.com.com/1606-2_3-6052333.ht … &subj=news
Anybody else had this problem before?

its playing in the background right now and sounds fine. Motion is a little jerky but acceptable.
using the 2.6.16 kernel from testing firefox from current over a DSL line.
Is the rtc module loaded? Otherwise at a loss (as usual)
BTW, that VW system is the last thing I need in my truck. Would rather have a cup holder that works and a first gear that does not lose sync.

Adobe Reader plugin for Firefox 3

Has anyone else been having problems reading some pdfs using the Adobe Reader plugin for Firefox 3?
For several months this often (but not always) happens:
I follow a link to a .pdf, a new window opens with a blue progress bar in the middle.
It gets to 100%, but then nothing happens, it just sits there with the progress bar full and "Done" in the status bar.
Interestingly, I also have the "IE Tab" extension installed and if I click on the icon to change the browser engine, the page reloads (with a slightly different progress bar that includes a counter for the file size) and the document is always displayed correctly when the download is completed.
the Adobe Acrobat plug-in is v10.1.0.534.

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
You'll find previous versions there as well as the latest builds, but I honestly don't see why you'd not like 4.0. After all, this is Firefox we're talking about not IE, which seems to only get worse with each new release.

Why Do I Have Multiple Versions of Adobe Flash Plugins in FireFox

Hello,
I usually have 2 versions of Adobe Flash plugins installed in Firefox at the same time: the most recent version and the prior version which remains behind after an update. I usually disable the older version but sometimes this also affect the updated version leaving me without Flash capability in FireFox.
This week I updated FireFox's Adobe Flash plugin to 12.0.0.43 but was surprised to discover the 2 prior Flash versions also remained. Now Firefox had 3 versions of Adobe Flash plugins. I discovered the Adobe Flash uninstaller and uninstalled all Flash from my computer. Surprisingly when I reinstalled Flash player in FireFox, again 2 versions were installed: 12 and 11. I attempted to use the uninstaller on FireFox alone but it did not recognize the older Flash plugin, only the updated version 12.
The recent Adobe Flash update, version 12, is a 'Critical Security' update. Therefore, I am a bit anxious to resolve this issue. I hope you can assist me with this issue.
Thank you.
Windows 7
Home Premium (64 bit)
FireFox 26'''bold text'''

I might have thought the uninstaller would have found and deleted the old FlashPlayer. Maybe it was a custom install and in an odd location. (I suppose another possibility is that registry entries are wrong).
Try totally uninstalling FlashPlayer using the Windows Control panel, before re-installing. Then check with the FlashPlayer uninstaller before reinstalling again.
Note whilst doing this that Windows Internet Explorer has its own FlashPlayer plugin that is separate. You will need to reinstall both the Fx fox & IE plugins afterwards. Also note that for 32bit Firefox you will need the 32 bit FlashPlayer.

Internet Explorer ONLY passes parameters to Adobe Reader plugin for hosted files, not local

WORKS:
<embed src="http://host.com/test.pdf#page=5"/>
FAILS:
<embed src="test.pdf#page=5"/>
Both code snippets above work when the HTML file is hosted (IIS / Apache). My web-app needs to be able to run from a USB memory stick and work with IE9. The #page param is required for a core feature of the app.
Parameters after the # are passed correctly to the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox for offline files, eg: file:///C:/test.htm. The documentation only describes hosted examples: http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf
I have tried the <object> route as well with similar results, eg: http://pdfobject.com/
I have burned over 8 hours looking for a solution. I have tried any logical settings in Adobe Reader X, and with the security zones in IE. I am not very familiar with IE security zones, but I suspect it could be related to my issue. I can specify the end-user change any browser or plugin settings as an acceptable solution.

I am developing a hybrid web-application that needs to work both offline (entire website) and in a hosted environment. A key part of the product is displaying PDF's with a dynamic index outside of the PDF. This allows us to use PDF's collected from hundreds of contractors, clients and manufacturers and combine them into one searchable product with a consistent interface. I can specify product requirements including IE browser settings, installed plug-ins etc. I am not trying to cater to a wide audience such as everyone online, but a specific one that is spending $5k-30k for a custom resource.
I expect the limiation is due to a wide cast net regarding security. I tried every setting in IE and essentially fully disabling all security options did not resolve it.
I found a solution, by accessing the ActiveX object directly you can use the exposed classes described here: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/w whelp.htm?context=Acrobat9_HTMLHelp&file=IAC_API_OLE_Objects.103.167.html
Javascript:
var pdfO = document.getElementById('pdfObj');
pdfO.setCurrentPage(pageNumber);
HTML:
<OBJECT id ="pdfObj" data="test.pdf" TYPE="application/pdf">
<a href="test.pdf">Fall-back code</a>
</OBJECT>
This actually works much faster as well, since the plugin doesn't need to be re-drawn in the DOM

JRE 1.5 plugin for Firefox on Linux works as root but not as an other user

I am trying to usel the JRE plugin for Firefox on Fedora Core 4. I downloaded and installed it as "root" and created the symbolic link so Firefox can "see" it. It now works just fine if I run Firefox as "root", but if I run it as any other user, it thinks that the plugin is not installed.
I checked to make sure that the path to the symbolic link is accessible by anyone (all directories in the path are x to "other" and the link and the .so file are both rx for "other").
What else do I need to do so non-root users can use this plugin?

remove $HOME/.mozilla/plugins and $HOME/.java and try again

Adobe flash player and youtube are not working

adobe flash player and youtube are not working

It seems that going to Preferences>Security> Check allow plug ins, then manage sites, and then allowing one site allows all??? Seems like a lot to go through. I have installed the player 4 times now and just got it figured out!

Can I install the Flash Plugin for Firefox, and the Adobe Flash application program, on the same machine?

PC with Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Firefox 33.1
Shockwave Flash 15.0.0.223 installed as a Firefox plug-in.
Everything performs perfectly, and I particularly like the fact that when I encounter a file (usually video) on the web, I can ACTIVATE ADOBE FLASH on a once-only basis, rather than ALWAYS FOR THIS SITE.
So here is my question. I encountered a .SWF file on the web, and played it through the plugin. I then downloaded the file to my desktop. From the desktop, there does not seem to be a way to play it through the Firefox Plug-in. Is this correct - am I missing something?
In order to play the file, do I need to install a copy of Shockwave Flash or Adobe Flash Player as a standalone application program on my machine? Is it OK to have both the standalone application and the Firefox plugin on one machine? By the way, I am not interested in using WMP as the player.
Thanks
Bill

VLC Player looks like a nice application, and it will play FLV files. However, it will not play .SWF files, which was the subject of my initial query. I admit that I am a little confused about the difference between .SWF and .FLV, since they are both called Flash files. My bad. I would love to find a standalone player that will handle both. Nothing fancy required - just play the file!
As a side note, I downloaded VLC Player from the link you suggested. It installed easily and worked well. However, a Google search reveals that there are a number of sources for corrupted versions of the player, which contain malware. Thank you, Fred, for a straight steer.

Why Adobe Flash Player 11.3 r300 not working appropriately in Firefox 13.0?

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64bits Pt-Br
Firefox 13.0 (Adobe Flash Player Plug-in) 11.3 r300
IE9 (Adobe Flash Player Active-x) 11.3 r300
In time: In both browsers (Firerox and IE9) Adobe Flash Player is slower than normal and in Firerox sometimes it crash.
My System:

I too have an 8GB RAM and quad core processor on my desktop and my laptop it is an Intel Quad i7 core, 8GB RAM. When there was any sluggishness, it was not Flash, but something else causing the heavy CPU useage because it was fighting with Flash.
On my computer, I went into FireFox Add-ons, then checked the extensions and plugins.The one problem I had was with a Real Player plugin. It allowed the recording and download of any video, with an App style button that appears above the the video itself when the cursor is placed there. For me that was disabled by FireFox because of conflicts, but even in the disabled state, it caused Flash issues. When I uninstalled the extension or plugin, Flash worked fine.
It may be the same, or another plugin or extension that is causing the issue. FireFox sites say to disable, but that proved useless to do because disabling for the RealPlayer plugin made no difference, it had to be removed completely to see the difference.
If no greyed out ones, then uninstall all the plugins and test FireFox. If all works great, reinstall one by one and each time test FireFox with Flash. You will likely find which one it is and know what to do from there.
I know it is a bit of a hassle, but from the experience I had so far, Flash was not the issue, it was from another plugin.
If it is Real Player, then disable the plugin by:
Close Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer if either is running.
Click "Start," click "All Programs," click "Real" and click "RealPlayer." (Or click the RealPlayer shortcut to open it)
Click the "RealPlayer" menu button at the top-left corner of the RealPlayer window and click "Preferences."
Click "Downloading and Recording" category near the bottom of the list of categories at the left side of the preferences window.
Uncheck the "Enable Web Downloading and Recording" checkbox by clicking it.
Click "OK."
Re-open Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer.
Worst comes to worst, uninstall real player completely or if there is another program that installed a problem plugin to FireFox, install that.
Let us know how this worked out.

Adobe flash crashes in Firefox but not with Internet Explorer

I don't wish to go back to an earlier version of Adobe flash as the earlier version caused other problems.i.e. with RealPlayer. Why is it that the latest Adobe flash works perfectly with Internet Explorer but will not work with Firefox.
Is there any way I can get it to work with Firefox, rather than when the problem occurs having to download IE and start again?
Would appreciate your advice. Thanks

#Try disabling Flash Players protected mode.

#Also ensure Real Player related software is fully updated, and check the RealPlayer support forum for any recently reported issues. Maybe ask yourself if you find nothing.
Also try with hardware acceleration turned on or turned off. Use both the Firefox control and the FlashPlayer control for that setting.
