Newest Flash plugin 11.5 doesn't install on Firefox 12

The Adobe flash plugin 11.5 on Firefox 12 is not installed. Neither the separate download from Adobe works nor the download for the plugin in the section "addons" or when clicking on "this web page need an additional addon klick here to install".
And several web pages like Youtube, Facebook and others ask for installing the newest flash plugin.

the kb article was NOT helpful - and I thought I am a fool that I cannot just click "download plugin" and have the plugin a minute later.
Three, four firefox restarts later it worked. The clue was somehow that there was a firefox task running or hanging with no user interface preventing the update being applied.
This leaves a bad taste - youtube definitively wants the newest flash because they switched to WebM and some new MP4 things which the old player couldn't do.....

  • Why the hell ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10.2 DOESN'T WORK on Firefox 4???

    Adobe Flash Player 10.2 doesn't work on firefox 4. I downloaded 10 times, I installed and again, "Please install ADOBE FLASH PLAYER"

    You appear to have it installed twice. Your system specs show you have both Shockwave Flash 9.0 r28 and Shockwave Flash 10.2 r159 installed.
    What I suggest you do here is to uninstall Flash using Adobe's uninstaller which you can download from here: [http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe uninstall_flash_player.exe]
    Close Firefox before you run the uninstaller, then reboot.
    Then manually install Flash using this file: [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe install_flash_player.exe] Close Firefox again before you run it.

  • Why firefox needs a Flash plugin to be downloaded and installed separately ?

    I have noticed that other browsers e.g. Opera, Chrome have their flash plugins already included (or somehow encompassed in the core)..
    no need to manually download, install or manually update.
    Just wonder why this feature isn't included also in Firefox?
    Wouldn't it be more user friendly ?
    Might be a further requested feature for developers...
    (correction.. neither Opera has it, but Chrome does)

    Chrome is actually the only browser that has a built in Flash Plugin, Firefox, Opera, IE, Safari, etc. all need the plugin (and Chrome only did it recently). while this isn't a developer forum, bundling in Flash is probably something that has been discussed, but I would assume the greater liability, security risks, etc. made it an unattractive solution.

  • Flash for 64-bit doesn't install properly, it seems

    I downloaded the Flash app for 64-bit from Adobe site. It is installed but won't play at all. The only Adobe add-on I have available is for the PDF Link Helper. I manually installed (and uninstalled) the 32-bit Flash app.
    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi, The only 64bit Flash Player that runs with the 64bit browser is Square, which is still in beta.
    The latest shipped(released) version is for a 64bit OS, but the 32bit browser must be used to Install and use.
    Latest versions are shown here:

    What version of Flash Player is shown here?

  • Lastest Flash (16.0.0.305) is installed but Firefox still says I need Flash for most videos. Why?

    I have installed flash multiple times, restarted Firefox, and everything I can think of but every time I come to a page that uses flash player it STILL Says I need Flash player to see the video or whatever is using flash. This has been going on for a while now since the last Firefox update.

    In your More System Details, there is a mystery line that just says "Flash" while the official line says "Shockwave Flash". Could you use by test page to generate a list of the full information for each plugin so it's easier to figure out which one is the stranger?
    http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/jstest.asp
    Scroll down a bit to the plugin list. It's the "Description" line that will say just "Flash". What is the name of the plugin?

  • Why does Facebook Farmville 2 keep asking me to install flash player when it is already installed in firefox?

    My os is windows 8.1.  I use firefox.  I play facebooks farmville 2.  It keeps asking me to install the new 3d flash player which is already installed. I've followed your steps and nothing has worked.  I cannot play farmville 2 on firefox because of the necessity of installing the flash player which is already installed.

  • Lastpass doesn't install into firefox 18. I'm using win 8 pro 64 bit.

    I have ie 10, firefox 18, and the latest version of chrome on my win 8 pro 64 bit os. I first used the universal installer for lastpass password manager to install lastpass on all my browsers. It showed up fine in ie and chrome but there was no sign of it in firefox 18. I checked the toolbars under the view tab and there was no sign of it. I've been using lastpass for about 1 1/2 yrs now and this is the first time it didn't show up in one of the browsers. I tried reinstalling using the universal installer and I also tried just installing it in firefox through the addons. There is still no sign of it. If you know what is causing this , I would like to know. Thank-You......John MacKinnon

    Same problem, Windows 7, 32 bit, Firefox 18.0.

  • I am having problems with viewing flash plugins on websites. it seems that the firefox 5 is inlarging the flash piece thus skuing the image and inabling features of the flash object itself.

    most important issues i am having are the following are as follows:
    1) on www.alliedelec.com the main image in the flash rotating banner is skued from being enlarged.
    2)http://www.alliedelec.com/eaton-control-automation/ on the bottom of the page there is a flash video player which is missing the controlbar at the bottom and cutting off the video previews on the side due to the flash oject being enlarged.
    i have checked this in older versions of firefox and other browsers and ff5 is the only browser which is having an issue and one in need fixed asap.
    Please Help!!!!

    No problems here on Linux with the Flash objects on both pages.<br />
    I see the control bar.
    Make sure that you aren't zooming anything on that page.

  • Can't install Adobe Flash Plugin (Mac OS X 10.4)

    I downloaded the newest flash plugin for mac os x but when I try to install it doesn't install. Basically, when I click on "Install" nothing happens. I uninstalled the older version because I thought that was the problem but I am still having this problem and now without Flash.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. If this has been previously discussed, please point me in the right direction. Thank you.

    Hi Luc,
    Sorry you're running into this problem.  Could you try running the attached applescript to see if it helps?

  • Can't install the flash-plugin. (I do not have administrator rights - work...) In former versions I hadn't this problem I think...

    I can't install the flash-plugin... This, beacous I don't have installator rights... Earlier, in other versions of Firefox i could realy install this like other plugins. Frequently it was updated by other plugins...
    The flash-player (for Microsoft Explorer) is up to date... (supported by our helpdesk) - I could not ask the question at our helpdesk...

    If your helpdesk allows Firefox, they really need to allow Flash updates for the Firefox plugin.
    If you download the Flash plugin installer and try to install it outside the browser, does that work any better?

  • Flashplayer plugin installs but doesn't seem to run. Windows 7 X 64 - Firefox 28 - Flashplayer 13

    Due to a power problem I had to reinstall Windows 7 X 64 so this is a clean install only a few days old. I installed Firefox 28 as administrator and recovered my bookmarks from the mirrored disk which had undamaged files but a non-repairable operating system. I installed several plugins which had heretofore worked properly including the Flash-player plugin. This is the file name of the install script I downloaded from the Adobe download site: install_flashplayer13x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe. That tells me it is the 32 bit version so it should be the right one.
    Everything works but the Flash-player. All the plugins had been installed as administrator. No glitches or anything unusual happened during the install. Everything seemed to work OK until I visited YouTube and it told me I needed to install Flash-player. Facebook doesn't like my Firefox browser for the same reason.
    I have gone through the forums and the install procedures (removed Firefox completely from the system & re-installed it according to the instructions) and have no solution so far. It had been working before the power problems caused the operating system crash but I do not remember the Firefox version or the Flash-player versions I had been using.
    Any help you can give would be appreciated. I am missing something but so far haven't discovered what it is.
    Thanks...

    Your system details shows that you don't have any version of Flash installed. The one you "installed"(''install_flashplayer13x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe'') I don't know where that is from.<br>
    You can install the correct version below:

  • Flash plugin not being found???

    hi. I am having rather frustrating problems with my mac. recently i was grounded (lol. we wont go too far into that) and my dad went and put the timer on my account so i couldnt log in and according to him this was all he did. well today a couple of my friends came over to do a project and my dad unlocked the computer for us so we could. well it required that we put some form of video or audio in it, but when i went to ANY such site they all said the newest flash plugin was required. so i went to the site and downloaded the latest plugin but NO videos or audio works! we both searched but we couldnt find any parental settings that could have caused this! It also works perfectly fine on his account. Any advise? thanks!

    HI,
    You must uninstall the old version before installingnew.
    Go here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    After you are done with that, go here and install the newest version of Flash.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Then repair disk permissions...
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    If that didn't do the job, download and install the 10.6.2 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even if you are already running 10.6.2
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959 It includes fixes for Safari plugin reliability.

  • Flash plugin installation for Firefox browser

    I have a very simple question:
    I am running Linux, and I use the latest Firefox browser.
    From this site (Adobe) I downloaded the flash plugin
    "flash-plugin-9.0.124.0-release.i386.rpm". Then I installed the
    package with the "rpm -Uvh ... " command (as superuser of course).
    It appeared that the installation succeeded. Afterwards, the
    command "rpm -q flash-plugin" shows that it is installed. However,
    Firefox still does not see the plash player. What else do I need to
    do? Can anybody help?
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    try this
    First, close running Firefox.
    Open the terminal (shell prompt)
    Install Flash Player
    Type the following command to install :
    $ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
    Some people might find voice is not working with newly
    installed flash player.
    Type following commands to solve this problem
    $ sudo apt-get install alsa-oss
    $ gksudo gedit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc
    Find line that read as FIREFOX_DSP and set to :
    FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"
    Save and close the file.
    Close Firefox and restart it again.

  • Adobe Reader Updates and Flash Plugin for Reader.

    I was surprised to find out that Adobe Reader Updates and also Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader cannot be installed on Windows 7 without Admin Rights!!!!!
    I remember on Windows XP this was not an issue. I am sure I have checked the possibility of installing Adobe Flash Plugin for Adobe Reader on Windows XP without Admin Rights and it worked...
    Now, we have some major issue...
    I have prepared Adobe PDF Portfolio for some new policy for Housing Loan, and deployed it to be open from a Web Browser. As per my testing, it worked very nice, and the Business User loved it. On Windows XP, if flash plugin for Reader is not installed, the user will be guided to install it, and it works very nicely.
    Just before sending the announcement to all users, we realized that on Windows 7, if flash plugin for Reader is not installed, then when the user clicks on the link to open the PDF Portfolio, then nothing happens. The browser window will open, and it will hang.
    Then we found out that on Windows 7 we have to install the Reader Flash Plugin manually, and also, the user must have Admin Rights ...
    Now, a decision has been made to cancel the work done using PDF Portfolio, and develop a simple page with links to the required documents...
    Any solution for this?
    How we can install the required plugin without the need for Admin Right?
    Why on Windows 7, the user does not get prompts to guide him to install Adobe Reader Flash Plugin?
    Tarek.

    I think I can see the reason for this. The Flash Player is separated from Adobe Reader; the system component is now used. (It appears that the "browser plug-in" and "Flash plug-in for Adobe Reader" are indeed the same thing, loaded from the same system location).
    Adobe are following recommended practice. It is right and proper that software is installed by the administrator. This then means that the non-administrator end user is protected from malware which attempts to change that software for bad reasons.
    Nobody wants to walk round installing 1000 copies of software. Personally, I'd draw the line around 5 copies. Above that, software designed for bulk use is deployed centrally using enterprise deployment tools.
    There are even more powerful reasons to do this today, as security updates should be installed almost immediately, and end users won't bother. Generally, the tools are standard, but the vendor adds support for deploying software in these standard frameworks.
