Settings Issue or bug in latest Flash Plug-in release (16.0.0.305)?

Intel Socket LGA 2011 | 32Gb Ram
Windows 7 64-bit
IE 11.0.9600.xxxxx
Flash Player (Active X Version) 16.0.0.305
Description of Problem:
Right-Clicking Flash Video, Setting Site Storage
Trying to adjust site storage amount. PRIOR to setting the site to "Allow" I could adjust the value, but AFTER allowing the site to store information, trying to adjust the allowed amount freezes that mini pop-up onto the screen, and will not allow the adjustment of the storage value slider.

The problem is related to our anti-clickjacking logic.
The dialog is coming up because you've set a non-default setting in Flash (probably restricting the ability of sites to store Local Shared Objects on your computer). The easiest way to get around this problem is to just get rid of the dialog entirely by allowing LSOs. You can do this by going to Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage> Allow sites to save information on this computer.
This control comes from way back in the '90s, when marketers were abusing this capability of Flash to track consumer behavior by storing unique identifiers. While this technique is still used to some degree, the capabilities of HTML5 and server-side fingerprinting have far outstripped Flash's usefulness as a tracking technology for marketers in both ease and resilience. So, while you can still disable LSOs on your computer, it offers you very little in terms of privacy in 2015, and it degrades the user experience significantly.
Instead, when you do want to use Flash Player without accumulating information that might later be used to track you, use your browser's Private/Incognito browsing mode. Flash Player will still be allowed to store things on your computer (so the content runs as expected with no degradation in the experience), but it all goes into a temporary location that's destroyed when you exit the browsing session.

Is there a trick to getting the latest Flash plug-in to work?

I just updated my Flash player to the newest version, and installed it for all browsers. Now it seems some sites won't recognize the player - for example, sesamestreetworkshop.org has a bunch of games that are Flash, and when I go there it tells me I need to get the latest Flash plug-in. So I did, installed it for all browsers, and it still doesn't work. Any help?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I can confirm this problem. The scripts that sites use to detect flash just don't work anymore. Flash just works, but the plug-in can't be detected by detection scripts. Let's take a look at the variables FX networks is using:
var requiredVersion = 7;
var useRedirect = true;
var flashPage = "main.html"
var flashPage2 = "main.html"
var noFlashPage = "noflash.html"
var upgradePage = "noflash.html"
var flash2Installed = false;
var flash3Installed = false;
var flash4Installed = false;
var flash5Installed = false;
var flash6Installed = false;
var flash7Installed = false;
var flash8Installed = false;
var maxVersion = 8;
var actualVersion = 0;
var hasRightVersion = false;
var jsVersion = 1.0;
As you can see, their pages can't be accessed with Flash Player 9, the max version is Flash Player 8.
So you will have to wait until they change their scripts, what is kinda stupid in my eyes. I think more people use the same scripts. That sites require a minimum Flash version is correct, but a max version is really not done.
I've mailed their webmasters and asked them to fix it asap.
I think that's the only thing that can be done at this time, if the scripts some sites are using are the same as this one.
eMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

For Mac OS 10.8.2,latest flash plug in, Firefox 19 will not play any You Tube video. Am at wits end.

The video seem to load, then start, run for about 5 secs, and then stop, no more video. This is on every You Tube video I try. Your instructions-troubleshooting ideas almost never fit a Mac OS 18.8.2 with the latest Adobe flash plug in. Nothing I have seen on your troubleshooting web site solves my problem, and I do not have the time to spend on this for the rest of my life. Fix it.

I just recently registered on this forum to see if I could help with answering questions from the users here. I did this because I like the apps and aims of Mozilla, and I'm willing to spend time helping people out with using these apps if I'm able to. That being said, questions worded like the one above do not make me want to spend much time being all that helpful.
My suggestion is that you wait a few hours (or day or so) before posting about a problem that is causing some negative emotional response for you.
If anyone has the same problem as what is described above, please post more information about their software versions (i.e. flash version), and whether or not the issue remains when taking the flash plugin out of the equation and using HTML5 on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/html5).
My initial thought is that the issue is with the flash plugin being used. Has another flash version been used?

Make Flash Plug-In for Firefox Remember Privacy Settings for Camera and Mic Access on Local File

My company is using Flash Player to develop some kiosk-style applications to run on a standalone computer (no network connection). This computer will contain web pages containing Flash content. They will be opened from the local HD with Firefox with the Adobe Flash plug-in (v11.7.700.224). One of the applications accesses the microphone hooked up to the computer. When this application is started, it always asks for permission for "local" to access the microphone and camera. In previous versions of our system, we could click "Remember" if we did it once and that would make it so it wouldn't ask for permissions again (in this case, the Remember option isn't available, and the site settings don't even offer the Privace tab). However, in the previous case, we were running IE with a previous ActiveX Flash version (unfortunately, this approach is no longer available as we have had to switch to Windows 8 and that changes the game with IE and Flash entirely).
At this point, we have tried to use the Global Settings for "Camera and Microphone Settings by Site..." to enter "Local" as an always allowed site. This does not seem to have any effect. We also tried entering the root directory of the applications in "Trusted Location Settings", but that also seemed to have no effect.
I'm not sure what has fundamentally changed here. I think there might be some differences in the Plug-In version (compared to ActiveX), but I'm not sure what they might be or how to do the same thing as before.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Torrey

Chris,
We learned that the Privacy tab (in Settings) can be found under the Flash plug-in for Firefox, but only if Firefox is running under an administrator.
Unfortunately, we haven't had much luck with the mms.cfg file. The following was used in the mms.cfg file (placed in both the %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash and %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash” directories):
AVHardwareDisable = 0
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = local
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = 127.0.0.1
AVHardwareEnabledDomain = localhost
AutoUpdateDisable = 1
The AVHardwareEnabledDomain settings seem to be getting ignored regardless of whether the user is a standard user or an administrator. I also checked to make sure it wasn't just a local problem by going to a website that uses a microphone (http://www.testden.com/accent-reduction/systemcheck.htm). Adding the requested domain to the list (AVHardwareEnabledDomain = train.act360.com) still didn't bypass the allow/deny dialog box.
We know that the mms.cfg file is being read because setting "AVHardwareDisable = 1" will result in no prompt and that section being greyed out in Global Settings. I saw a post that suggested this setting was required to even make the AVHardwareEnabledDomain work, but it seems to block the local entirely and still brings up the dialog query on the internet site.
Thanks,
Torrey

I installed Adobe Flash Player, but YouTube is still telling me that I need Flash plug-in?

I have Safari 7.0, and when I go to youtube, it says that I need the latest flash plug-in, and I keep downloading it but it's still saying the same thing. Flash plug-ins are already enabled in Safari preferences, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

Yes, done all that but there is no adobe flash player listed in the add ons >plug ins site. However in the program listings on the start section adobe flash player is displayed.
I have tried down loading it again and although I have done this from downloads and it displays as done it does not reappear in plug ins.
The plug ins I have got listed in Tools>Add_ons>Plugins are
Microsoft RDM 9.0.0.3250
Microsoft RDM 9.0.0.3250
Mozilla Default Plug in 1.0.015
Shockwave flash 10.01.2.76

Safari Crashes Because of Flash Plug-In

Hi,
After a week of trying to track down the constant Safari crashes that were actually proliferating I just removed the Flash plug in and it's rock solid again. I had tried different version but none seemed to give it any stability. The latest Flash plug-in was the worst. I could crash Safari in 3-10 page changes!
If you need to use Safari, and oh yea Flash was killing Firefox as well, try just removing Flash altogether.
Works like a charm but no Flash.....which isn't too crippling I'm discovering!

Hi,
Login to another user account on your Mac. If Safari crashes there also, it could be a system wide problem. Follow the instructions here
for using Disk Utility to Verify and if necessary repair the startupd disk.

Adobe Flash Settings Issue

Hello,
I am having the issue with the flash settings, where you cannot click on Allow. I am running OSX Lion, the latest adobe flash (10.3.183.7)
I have added the website to the Local Storage Settings by Site options, with Allow. When the space reaches 99kb, the issue comes up asking me to allow more space, but i am unable to click on it. The only way around it is to go back into the storage settings, change to deny, then back to allow, which seems to clear all the storage. then i can relaunch the browser and be able to get 1 page further in the book before i am prompted again.
Is there an actual resolution to this? I've tried suggested resolutions of updating to the latest flash player, which supposedly addressed this bug. Evidently not. I also manually added the website to the Local Storage Settings by Site option, which was supposed to resolve this as well, but it didnt.
As of now I am stuck, and unable to read a book for class, which is obviously a critical issue.
thanks.
Ian

Plug in Manager released today doesn't fix print settings issue

The download page says it improves reliability in Aperture and other apps. But it didn't fix the print settings issue in Aperture. I sent feedback on the problem. Try to hit the print settings button after hitting command P. If you have Aperture 2 and the latest security update the settings won't come up. Look at the top of the list for the Plug In Manager update.

Hopefully an update fixes this. I have had this problem for a long time, tried many different fixes, no luck. Horizontal scrolling works in IE9 however.

I still get blocked plug-ins after downloading latest flash player. Is there a fix for this?

Blocked plug-ins. I've downloaded the latest Adobe Flash player after "Delete all" in the System Preferences\Adobe Flash Player Advanced tab, moved the flash player plug-ins from disabled internet plug-ins to internet plug-ins in the Library folder, allowed all plug-ins in Safari Preferences and in the System preferences. Is there anything I've missed because non of these solutions that I found in the Support Community have solved the issue.

Delete that plugin.

Still getting blocked plug ins after downloading latest flash player to macbook

Am still getting blocked plug ins on video content after downloading latest flash player (as requested to do) to macbook please help

Can you check to see if you have "enable plug-ins" checked in Safari's preferences dialog, under the security tab? If not, enable it and check.
It seems to be a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, check if it works there.

It is best to go to the source, Adobe, to get their software and updates. Sometimes malware can infect sites with messages that appear legitimate, but will, instead, install malware/virus/trojan on your system. Read the following carefully to install and/or update Adobe Flash.
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually. '''''You do not have Adobe Flash (aka "Shockwave Flash" in Add-ons > Plugins) installed.'''''
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
