Newest Version of Flash Player Issues With Firefox 12.0

Firefox just updated today to its newest version 12.0. After updating, every website was running slow or freezing. I eventually discovered that the culprit was the Adobe Flash Player Plugin. Disabling the plugin returned things to normal. I would like to still use the flash plug in, but have not found a way to enable it without all websites freezing. I am using a Windows 7 64-bit operating system. I have tired uninstalling and reinstalling the flash player and I have double checked that I am using the newest version of Flash Player. I have cleared the Flash Player cache, tried disabling the hardware acceleration option, and restarted my computer inbetween several times. I am offically at a loss for what to do? Please help me.

Waterfox can coexist peacefully with Waterfox.  I have both installed, but never use Firefox any more.
Not only can Waterfox run in 64-bit address space, it also is better optimized during compile time than Firefox.  (For obvious reasons; Firefox is compatible with many old systems, Waterfox only needs to be compatible with new 64-bit systems.)
P.S. regarding Chris' advice above; Firefox and Waterfox use the same profile, so if that is actually the problem, then it will occur in both browsers.

  • I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

    I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
    ^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
    I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
    Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • Galgotias University - Flash Player issue in Firefox

    Hi,
    I am Garima studying in Galgotias University. I have an issue with the flash player it is working in Google Chrome but not working in Mozilla Firefox. I have an updated version of flash player. Please any one can recommend any solution

    Hello Garima,
    Google Chrome uses a different type of plugin than Firefox. Also Google Chrome embeds Flash Player in the browser so you don't have to install it separately.  Using Firefox, go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer to download the installer for Firefox.

  • Flash Player Issue with Windows 8.1 Professional

    Hi guys,
    I'm currently having issues with Flash Player on Internet Explorer 11 in Windows 8.1. It seems that the Flash Player has been disabled when I access http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html.
    However, when I logged off the my domain account and use my local account, I'm able to test Flash Player.
    Therefore, the only thing I can think of is the Group Policy that is blocking the Flash Player as I've resetted IE settings on my domain account.
    Hopefully you guys are able to solve this mystery.
    Thanks!!

    Go to control panel and go to program and features and uninstall existing adobe player
    and adobe flash player activex both....
    Then select windows 8 and flash player  from here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Install and check..

  • Flash player issues with system recognizing it's installed - all versions

    I am running a Vista 64-bit computer.I seem to have had lots of trouble with Adobe Flash Player being recognized by various sites (and have the same issues with other computers running both XP and Windows 7). I've downloaded, I've clicked install, it shows in the computer but the sites keep asking me to download. I downloaded 11 recently, which didn't help and later found out that it doesn't support Vista 64 bit, even though I've had Vista 64 bit for 3 1/2 years! Anyway, I uninstalled 11 and found a download for 10 and put it back to that but it still doesn't help.For example, I was looking at patterns on michaels.com and I got the message to install Flash.
    Again, I have FP 10 installed (now) and would like to know if there are additional steps to take in order to get sites to recognize it is installed. Additionally, I am curious as to the short-sitedness of Adobe NOT to provide Flash Player for 64 bit Vista machines. Because Microsoft charges crazy amounts to upgrade OS, it is unlikely that I'll upgrade to Win 7 anytime soon. And since the product (Vista x64) has been around for many years, why is it treated as though it doesn't exist?

    Exactly same issue here.

  • Is the new version of Flash player compatible with FF 3.6.17?

    I updated to the new version of Flash - 10.3.181.26 - because of some sort of problem with the old version. Now FF does not recognize Flash as being installed. I have both versions in .mozilla/plugins. I use .new and .old as the extension for the one I am not using. Version 10.3.d162 works when it is .so. 10.3.181 does not.

    There are a number of active threads concerning the latest Flash player plugin (11.3) and the latest Firefox (13). Not all users are experiencing the same issues, but things to check include the following:
    - Conflict with Realplayer Browser Record plugin (to disable this, open Add-ons from the orange Firefox button or the classic Tools menu and look under the Extensions and Plugins categories)
    - Conflict with Flash 11.3 Protected Mode (see [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 Adobe Forums: How do I disable Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?])
    Scanning down the front of the forums probably will yield additional suggestions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions

  • I've had a problem installing Adobe Flash Player; also with Firefox. Tried to download a new FF; it goes crazy! keeps repeating an opening page! Now I don't have FF installed, or Flashplayer, and I think these problems are connected. Help!

    Mac OSX 10.5.8 system. Problems have been ongoing with the Firefox I had installed a while ago: would open browser in Safari, and FF would take over; keep asking me to personalize my browser program. In truth, Firefox was kind of "taking over", and I wasn't happy with it. Usually open the internet in Safari.
    Present problems started with trying to download, install and open a few new games. Kept telling me I needed to install Adobe Flashplayer. I could download it, but it wouldn't install. Downloaded both the Flashplayer installer AND the Flashplayer uninstaller a number of times. Today, I decided to get rid of the Firefox on my hard drive and download a newer version - then try again to download Flashplayer and install. The new FF download just kept opening a new browser page.

    What is your current Flash Player version: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html ?

  • Flash Player Issues with Lion

    Has anyone else had issues with flash player after downloading Lion? for some reason after i got lion and i go to facebook to take a picture with my webcam or if i go to a video chat website it pops up the screen that asks to allow the website to connect to the webcam but it is not clickable. i have only had this problem after i got lion does anyone know how to fix this or if it is a problem with my laptop not the program.

    I believe I had a similar issue as well. I'd check Adobe's website for an updated version of Flash. If that still doesn't fix it, it's likely because Flash actually does not yet support Lion (or at least not the last time I looked).

  • Flash audio issue with Firefox

    I came across an issue in firefox relating to adobe Flash. I'm also adressing the issue with adobe as it might be related to action script in the SWF. However if that were the case I don't quite understand why it's limited to Firefox.
    The problem is as follows. Using a simple mp3 player to play news highlights i came across an issue where that if other tabs or windows were open where flash audio played (like a youtube video) the audio in all these tabs/windows would cease as soon as the simple mp3 player was loaded or the stop button was pressed. This proved to be a problem among many of our customers who listen to online radio via our players (in a popup window/tab/seperate window) and browse on our site where this mp3 player is loaded. I provided a test environment where you can find the player.
    http://www.classicfm.nl/audiotest/
    Test by having flash audio playing and open the above link in another tab or window. As the player loads it stops all audio.
    Kind regards
    Dwayne

    I've been looking everywhere, google, adobe forum and one thing strike me... all, or almost all post about that in adobe forum have been ignored... Why ?
    On google i found a lot of people saying it is impossible and some saying it is, that they managed to fix theirs, but it is still not working for me. I followed and tryed a lot of method that seem to work for them, but it isnt working for me.
    Adding this
            <embed src="Video/Menu.swf" quality="high" width="2000" height="950" name="Menu" align="middle" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent"/>
    Is not helping much.
    Please it is critical for me that my flash allow the click through on Chrome and Firefox because my flash cover the whole screen as you see, 2000x950 and depending what you do in my website, it will fill the screen or not, and i still have html link that need to be clicked that are not inside the flash itself, thus why i need the click through.
    Thanks

    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.

  • Flash Player gone with Firefox, Still works with IE.

    Flash Player suddenly stopped working with Firefox.
    I uninstalled and reloaded. Works with IE, but still not with
    Firefox. That's my primary browser. Any ideas?
    Thank you, -Bob

    davexnet,
    Thanks very much for the suggestion. Tried, no luck. I also
    tried to download an update for an anti-virus program and it
    returned the same error as the Flash Player download. So, must be a
    Firefox problem, right? Error message was........"exe could not be
    opened because an unknown error occurred." Thanks again, Bob

  • Flash Player issues with BBC Weather Map

    I am using Flash Player 16.0.0.235 on Windows 7 via Internet Explorer 32-bit
    I keep losing the information on the BBC Weather Maps.
    The maps load but then freeze before the weather information is displayed.  The bar shows it is trying to load but nothing happens.
    I have tested & Adobe Flash Player is working correctly on my laptop.
    Tried shutting down & rebooting but no change.
    Any ideas?
