Separate versions of Flash for Firefox & IE?

I normally use Firefox as my browser. Unfortunately, for
reasons beyond my control, I must on occasion use Internet
Explorer. I went to install the Adobe Flash player and found that
the Adobe downloader knows if I am accessing it through Firefox or
IE. Does this mean that there are separate versions of Adobe Flash
for Firefox and IE? If so, can I download both? If I cannot
download both, which one should I download?
Thank you.

Ie/pc uses an active x control flash player, all other
browsers use the
"netscape compatible "plug-in". Both can be installed on the
same windows
system (other os don't have active x)--in fact, if memory
serves the flash
application offers to install both players when appropriate.

Trying to install latest version of Flash for Firefox on WinXP, get Internet Explorer Script Error

I'm trying to install the latest version of Flash (filename install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe), browser = Firefox 14 (current), OS = Windows XP. I've tried multiple times, making sure to disable Norton Antivirus Autoprotect first.
At some point along the process - either during download or during installation - I get the following error message:
Internet Explorer Script Error
Line: 1
Char: 10010
Error: 'ActionLaunchAdobe' is undefined
Code: 0
URL: http://127.0.0.1:1174/app/_js/adobe.js
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? [yes] [no]
Whether I answer [yes] or [no] the result is the same - the program hangs. It does not close, and when I close it manually it asks if I really want to stop it. But if I leave it there, nothing happens.
Per advice of the website, I uninstalled Flash in order to start over fresh. What that means is that, instead of having an outdated version of Flash, I now have none.
I've tried to RTFM but searches for this error come up empty. I'm curious why Internet Explorer is being involved in this to begin with. But mostly, I'm just curious how to get this thing to work.
Thanks for whatever help you can give me.

We're investigating this issue and we'd like to get some additional details. I'd appreciate if anyone experiencing these errors could do the following steps:
Download the Flash Player installer
Open a command prompt and navigate to the installer location (eg. "cd c:\users\username\downloads\")
Run the installer, using a “/debug”.argument (eg. “install_flashplayer11x32ax_chrd_aih.exe /debug”)
Once the installer runs and the error is reproduced, a file named “host.developer.log” will be created in your system’s temp folder.
You can quickly access the temp folder by clicking on Start > Run, then type "%temp%".
Locate the "host.developer.log" file and either post the contents in a reply or send directly to [email protected]
Along with the debug log, please include the following info:
Operating System (if you're on XP, what service pack do you have installed)
Browser
Network proxy setup (if applicable)
Thanks!

Is there an older version of flash for my mac 10.6.8?

Is there an older version of flash for my mac 10.6.8?

Actually you can use the latest Flash Player version 15 on Mac OS 10.6.8. Mac OS 10.5.8 and older are no longer compatible and need an older Flash Player version (depending on PPC or Intel platform).

I have to re-install adobe flash for firefox every time i start my computer even if firefox shows that my adobe flash is working it does not.I also get notices from the websites i visit (get flash e.t.c.)

i have the latest firefox 10.02 in win7 and even if firefox shows is installed my adobe flash is not working so i have to run the flash installer every time i start my pc.After this everything works fine until the next start when i have to run the flashinstaller again

There are two versions of the Flash Player plugin. One is ActiveX and only works in IE. It sounds like you have that one installed. The other one works in all other browsers.
What seems to be happening is that you have security software that's blocking one of those versions of Flash/restoring your computer state and so it gets uninstalled when you start your computer. The other possibility is that there are permission issues. Unfortunately, this isn't something that Firefox can control; it's a problem with the Flash installation (Firefox is dumb and just looks in the registry for a list of installed plugins to load).
Make sure that you're an admin on your computer when you try to install Flash and that you check your security settings. If that doesn't work, try posting to the [http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer Adobe community forums] to see if other people have had similar issues and know how to address them.

Can't Install Flash for Firefox

I was prompted today by Firefox to install the latest version of Flash. Unfortunately, the installer says I have insufficient permissions for the file C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll. As I understand it, that would mean I don't have administrative permissions, but I do. I am on the only account on this computer, an administrator account.
I downloaded the uninstaller to try to start fresh. It uninstalled successfully, but when I tried to install, I get the same error. Now I have no flash at all for Firefox.
I tried to use IE instead, and that worked perfectly. I can view flash content in IE now fine. Unfortunately, I guess I have to install it for Firefox separately, because I still can't view flash content in Firefox.
I am using the latest version of Firefox on Windows 7 64 bit. Does anyone have any idea what to do?

NPSWF32.dll has a modified date of 7/17/2009.
That sounds quite old! Can I assume that all other files in that folder are newer?
Can you try the following:
open a Command Prompt (Start | Run | type cmd )
in the Command Prompt window type this sequence of commands
cd \
cd Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
regsvr32 /u NPSWF32.dll
exit
(You can copy and paste, or type everything in just lowercase characters.)
Next open Windows Explorer, go to C:Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash and delete NPSWF32.dll (also install.txt, as it is probably also old).
If you cannot delete that file, what error message do you get?
P.S. there should be no web browsers running when you do all the above.

What version of flash for kindle fire hd

I am trying to download flash for my kindle fire he. there are several versions to choose from, which one for my kindle?

Adobe Flash does not work the Kindle Fire HD or any Android v4+ devices. Amazon blames it on Adobe and Adobe blames it on uncertified devices (
http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2012/06/flash-player-and-android-update.html). There are lots of comments and instructions for sideloads of previous browser versions in the cyber universe. But, alas, loyal users of flash and amazon just get left out in the cold.

Flash for firefox download page not working

The download link for the adobe flash player plugin for firefox does not appear to be working. I'm getting a page load error when clicking on the download link on the following URL: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
I've tried revisiting the page over several days this past week with no change. What am I missing here?

What is your operating system? If Windows, try downloading the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

Updating flash for firefox without admin rights

I use Firefox in an environment in which only IE is supported. Every time Adobe updates Flash, I lose the ability to view Flash content in Firefox as I lack admin rights to update it.
I have tried the work arounds and none solve the problem. Previously I would just download Firefox again, reboot, and the update would be there. No longer works.
Is there just no way for Firefox to update Flash internally, especially for users who lack admin rights?
I greatly enjoy using it but if I can can't update Flash, I will have to go back to IE.

Hi,
try with this instruction:

Installed Flash for Firefox, killed it on Safari

Firefox self-updated itself while it was running. Wen I restarted it, it asked me to update my Flash player to version 10.2.152.33. I did this. It works great in Firefox. Safari had problems with Flash before, (it would not properly display YouTube videos,) but now the applet won't even start at all, saying "missing plugin." What gives?

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then Select the Security tab. Make sure: Enable Plug-Ins is selected.
Try the troubleshooting help here.

If that doesn't help, follow the instructions at this link to delete Flash cookies.

Multiple versions of flash in Firefox on Windows

I'm using Firefox 29 in Windows 7 on a 64 bit platform. The Flash plugin keeps crashing, or at least giving me a crash message, constantly. I can see versions 11.9.900.170, 12.0.0.77 and 13.0.0.214, the current version. I uninstalled flash and none showed up, then reinstalled the latest version and now I see all three again. If I disable any one of the three, Flash doesn't work at all. This seems strange; shouldn't only the latest version be showing up? Even when Firefox says it's crashed, I can sometimes still get Flash to play.

Checking the Plugins in FireFox 30 (32-Bit) (Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit):

Can I change my Mac version of Flash for a Windows version?

Hey, I bought Flash Pro CS3 for Mac and was wondering if
there was any way I could change my Mac version for a Windows
version? Any help is appreciated.

This is a good question for Adobe support, we are just users
on this board.
I really don't know. You could try downloading the trial for
PC, installing it, then see if your Mac license key works to
activate it. My guess is that it will not, but it's worth a try.
But again, to really get this resolved you should contact
Adobe support.
Good luck.

Can not update Flash for Firefox

I'm using Fifox and update Flash to watch video...but i don't know it's still not use. When i enter <extraneous link removed by mod - kglad> have a errors and disapper flash.
Who do know why and please give me the reson.
How to fix it? Thank for help

You should ask in the Flash forum. It may be that you need to download the flash update, disable anti-virus, and install the update. Firefox should be closed during the update.

When will the Flash for Firefox offline installer provide the latest update 17.0.0.134?

Hello guys,
I was trying to update Flash via the offline installers due to unresolvable issues with the online installer. It downloaded adn started fine. However, it still shows "Flash 16.0" in the installer name during installation routine. All other offline installers for IE and Chrome worked perfectly fine.
I now had to bypass this by using Avast Antivirus's "Software Updater" to get the latest version.
Please fix that ASAP!
Thanks

I used this URL: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player.exe
Both the IE installer (http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_ax.exe) and Chrome installer (http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_ppapi.ex e) using their respective links updated Flash Player to the latest version, only this one didn't work.

Need full (offline) version of Flash for Windows 7

My computer is not connected to the Internet so I can't use a web install version.
Could somebody supply a URL so i can copy the full version to a thumb drive?
Also, where do I go for security updates and how do i apply them?
Are there other Adobe programs that are free and I should have? Is there a page of such? The used Dell i just bought and did a re-instal on has no accessory programs on it at all.
Thanks

Why can't i install an older version of Flash for IE9 after uninstalling the new version?

Having uninstalled version 11.2.202.233 due to audio problems, why can i not install an older version (11.1.102.62) for IE9?

You should install the updated version 11.1.102.63 that contains a security update.
