On the same machine, Adobe Flash Player installs and operates satisfactorily in Internet Explorer but does not install at all in Firefox. What to do? I'd prefer using Firefox in lieu of Explorer.

The machine is running Windows 7, 32 bit. Downloaded Firefox today (Jun 7, 2011) so it should be the latest version. Same with Flash Player.

Javascript no longer works in Internet ExplorerJavascript has nothing to do with Java.
The fact that I have no problems whatsoever in Firefox leads me to believe that the issue lies with IE.Sounds about right.
When I go to check if I have Java at http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml?ff3 I get a pop up log in box saying "the server java.com at SUN ONE web server requires a username and password" (when using IE - Firefox / Opera display the dancing duke symbol as they should)
It sounds like you are now talking about having Applets run in your browser. Before you talk to IE customer support, you should nail down what your problem actually is, JavaScript or Java Applets, they are different technologies belonging to different people and implemented very differently.
What's going on?You have a problem with Internet Explorer. Either ask their customer service or stop using it.

  • Adobe Flash Player Pop Up when going to Internet Explorer

    I am continuously getting an Adobe Flash Player pop up when going to Internet Explorer.  It says "A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer".  This program will open outside protected mode etc. etc.  If you do not trust this site do not open.  This pops up every second.  Is this a virus and if so how do I get rid of it?

    My level is at Medium High.  I unchecked the “Enable Protected Mode”.  Is this safe?  The pop up is no longer popping up.

  • Need Detailed description of the differences between Adobe Flash Player Plugin and Shockwave Flash

    For many years now I have been in a quandry over Adobe Flash (plugin) and Shockwave flash. The quandry is also somewhat exacerbated by the variety of subsetted versions supplied for each.
    You know, it is sorta like the name and namespace dilemna provided by Adobe's continuing use of "Macromedia" when sometimes referring to, or distributing, their products... eg still creating Macromedia folders during installs. 
    I have been told that Shockwave Flash actually contains the Flash plugins. If that is the case should I be upgrading to a newer Shockwave Flash version if  Adobe announces or (as recently occurred) denounces
    a newer version of Adobe Flash.
    Will you please provide me with details for, and distinctions between, these two products?
    Hoping you can respond in a flash ... er... two flashes.
    Thanks     

    OK Thanks I silly-goofed in describing what I meant in my initial post. I needed to say what's the diff between Adobe Flash (=Shockwave Flash) (plugin) and Adobe Shockwave Player. 
    So will you please detail the differences between Adobe Flash (=Shockwave Flash) and Shockwave Player?
    I have been told that Shockwave Player actually contains the Adobe Flash (=Shockwave Flash) plugins. Is it both
    Flash Player ActiveX control for Internet Explorer
    Flash Player plugin for all other browsers
    that are contained therein?
    If the above is indeed the case, should I be upgrading to a newer Shockwave Player version if  Adobe announces or (as recently occurred) denounces a newer version of Adobe Flash (=Shockwave Flash) .
    Here's where I am headed will all this:

  • Adobe Flash Player installer/uninstaller 10.1 r82 AND 102 has stopped working

    Hi there,
    First time I've used these forums and I am a bit computer illiterate, so apologies if I come across a bit stupid!
    I am using the following systems:
    Windows Vista (32 bits I think)
    IE 7
    Adobe / Flash v 10.1.82.76
    I was trying to install iTunes on the weekend and was having trouble, so Apple suggested I delete my Local Temp Files and all Apple apps, which I did.
    Since then, when I try to access most internet sites, I encounter the following error message:
    'Adobe Flash Player installer/uninstaller 10.1 r82 has stopped working'.  I have the option of getting Windows to check the problem or closing the problem, whichever option I select I just go round and round in circles as it keeps coming back to the same error message. As a result, I can't access most websites as the page just freezes and I eventually have to close IE.
    I understand this to be a common problem as I've done a few google searches and have come across others with the same problem and have tried various solutions without success.
    I have tried to download Adobe uninstaller (via another PC and saving it on to disk and then onto my desktop), but when I try to run this as administrator I get the following message;
    'Adobe Flash Player installer/uninstaller 10.1 r102 has stopped working'.
    I am at my wits end, if there is anyone out there that can help it would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    NO, just a windows pop-up with the message:
         "Microsoft Windows
         Adobe Flash player Installer/Uninstaller 10.1
         r85 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."
    And then just the option to "close program". This happens at the point of me trying to install the
    program from the saved download on my desktop, directly through a website or any other method I've tried.
    Thanks

  • I found in the utilities an Adobe Flash Player Install Manager How can I erase it ?

    I found in the Utilities an Adobe Flash Player Installer. I think it is virus
    I want to erase it but comes out that Finder ask me the acces to the keys. If not I can't erase it
    How can I do it ?
    thank You everybody

    You want to drag it to your trash and empty the trash. Or you can highlight it in finder and choose "move it to the trash", then empty the trash. If the system asks for your administrator password to do that, enter it.

    This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
    If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
    If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.

    1. Restart your computer to stop any Adobe process that is running.
    2. Click on the following Adobe  link. Go to the bottom where it says "Still having problems?". Click on the version of Flash Player for your browser.

  • I need to uninstall Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0

    I need to uninstall Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0 but have looked everywhere for how to do this & can not find out how to do this can someone please help? I am using A Sony Vaio, Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, I use Chrome Version 36.0.1985.143 m.
    I want to get it off of my system because ever since I installed it I have had problems with Chrome loading it does not want to load then if I restart my comptuter & I click on chrome  5 windows open up at one time a white box appears saying "Your profile can not be used because it is from a newer browser version of google chrome. Some features may be available. Please specify a different profile directory  or use a different version of chrome" then if you click ok it shuts all the windows down. I have figured a way to get one window to stay open so I can use chrome, now I do have other browser I can use but I do not like them  at all & do not have a flash player since mine is built in with Chrome. So on to the other problem that began as soon as I downloaded this & I understand it may not be this but I still want to get it off of my computer. I also have been having trouble with my flash player error messages: saying it has stopped working constantly, it says upgrade flash text, a plug in shock wave flash isn't responding then in (stop plug in) it wants you to hit.  I have run 3 different Mallware programs through my computer just in case that was one question that was going to be ask. No other programs jave been downloaded wither.
    I am not very good with computers so I have to come to places like this for help & I really have to have help explaining what to do because  do not know much about computers other then getting on them & surfing the web & some basic things. When chromes message said specify a different profile directory that went right over m head. So that should give you an idea where I am coming from. I want to thank you in advance & hope I have made sense in what I have written I tried to give all the information that I could.

    Your screenshot of task manager clarifies things.
    When I replied, I had been looking at the screenshot of the desktop from the original poster, which shows the uninstaller executable and it's properties.  That executable doesn't install anything -- it can just be dragged to the trash; however, that didn't completely align with the behaviors either of you were describing, and we've been trying to figure out what you were talking about.  It wasn't making a lot of sense to me, and it's not a question that I've seen come up before, at least not articulated this way.
    FlashUtil32_XX_XX_XX_XX.exe is the sandbox broker for Internet Explorer.  You can read more about the sandbox work here: Flash Player Security with Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10
    The description listed in Task Manager is a bug, and the source of the confusion.  We've been doing a lot of work modernizing our build systems, and this is fallout from that work. This is something I'd like to see cleaned up, but it's pretty low on the list of priorities.
    The broker service is invoked when Internet Explorer is running in Protected Mode.  On my Windows 7 machine running IE 10, running Flash content in Internet Explorer with Protected Mode enabled causes the broker service to be invoked (this is probably true for previous versions as well, but I didn't test them).  If I disable Protected Mode and restart Internet Explorer, the broker is not invoked, which is expected.
    To disable Protected Mode, launch Internet Explorer and choose security.  Uncheck Enable Protected Mode.  Internet Explorer will restart, and you should be able to verify that the broker is no longer invoked when loading content with Flash Player.
    I've included a screenshot showing the expected processes in both scenarios below.  As the Flash Player ActiveX control is loaded into an Internet Explorer process, you'll see the child explorer.exe process listed, which hosts the Flash ActiveX control in the process list.
    Sandboxing the Flash Player plug-in is an important security mitigation intended to increase the cost of successfully developing and deploying malware.  While it's not a panacea, it significantly raises the bar for attackers.  As I'm sure you've read in the news and trade literature, the threat landscape has evolved significantly over the last few years, and modern security threats and their mitigations are a necessary reality.  New mitigations typically come with some additional processing overhead.  The overhead varies based on the architectural choices made by the particular browser vendors, but the overhead in IE is pretty reasonable.
    We haven't published a blog post specific to IE, but if you're interested in the implementation details, the sandbox architecture is similar to what we did with Protected Mode for Firefox on Windows.  The Flash Player process that handles untrusted content runs at Low Integrity, which restricts access to critical system resources in the event that you encounter malware designed to take control of the Flash Player process.  Access to system resources is negotiated through a Medium Integrity broker process.  Without Protected Mode, the Flash Player process handling untrusted content runs at Medium Integrity, making it easier for malware to escalate privileges from a hijacked process.  Depending on the functionality in play, a lot of message-passing can take place between IE, the broker and Flash Player.  We've effectively doubled the number of messages that get passed, plus put a bunch of validation checks in, and all of that consumes CPU.  It also makes your web browsing activity more secure.
    Some desktop applications (Yahoo Messenger, for example) also use the ActiveX version of Flash Player installed on your machine.  This could explain why you see Flash Player and the broker invoked unexpectedly.  We're also aware of an issue on Vista where the broker doesn't always exit as expected.  In that instance (and on WinXP), I'd highly recommend that people use Google Chrome for web browsing, as Google has extended some security mitigations that would only be available to Internet Explorer users running in newer versions of Windows, and it doesn't suffer from this specific issue with the broker.

  • Adobe Flash Player Installer not doing anything?

    This seems different from the problems other people have had on these forums with flash. My current flash works, but when I try to install the latest version and open Adobe Flash Player Installer, all I see is a grey rectangle, just a blank window with no buttons or text. When I close out of this window, I'm taken to a page on Adobe's website with the following message:
                                                                                               Step: 3 of 3
    Adobe Flash Player could not be installed.
    You can troubleshoot your installation with the following resources:
    Troubleshooting Macintosh Installation
    Flash Player Help and Support
    I followed both links, which had some basic info asking if I'd quit all my browsers before the install (I had), or if I'd allowed plugins in Safari preferences (also yes). I go back and try to install again and the same thing happens, endlessly. It is the same on all of my browsers (Safari, Chrome, and Firefox), and I have rebooted several times to no avail.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Adobe Flash Player Installer Screen completely black

    When trying to install Adobe Flash Player, Mac 10.10.2, Safari 8.0.4, the Adobe Flash Player Installer page and popup screens are completely black and not accessible.

    A) The screenshot didn't work. It's not complex to visualize. Just imagine a window in the app "Install Adobe Flash Player" which has the words Adobe Flash Player Installer in the top most horizontal section, on the same level as the Mac Red and Yellow circles. Then imagine that everything below that level is completely black. That's what it looks like.
    B) When I went to Installation problems | Mac, and hit "
    Flash Player for Safari and Firefox - NPAPI
    then I get a Safari tab http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg. The entire window area below the tab line is also completely black. Plus there is a pop-up that says "Plug-in blocked for this website"
