[SOLVED] Certain Flash sites not working in Firefox 4...

EDIT: Solved in post #15
Using Firefox 4 stable from extra repo, something is up with my Flash where certain sites aren't seeing it, while others are. When it works, it plays fine. Here's some screenshots to illustrate what I mean:
When I start a new session of a Firefox all Youtube videos are in the small window (even when I'm logged in) and the first video I watch, to get it to the bigger window I click the enlarge button as seen: http://i.imgur.com/vmmSF.png
It plays fine in this little window, but when I click that button and it enlarges, it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/4xzoy.png
Sometimes it will play and I can hear the audio while I only have that grey rectangle. Now, I can hit refresh and it will play back fine now on in this larger size, but this does not occur on my laptop with Arch and same packages.
Then Vimeo, nearly all videos are like this http://i.imgur.com/zYkIT.png
And on Break I don't even see anything: http://i.imgur.com/SIkT2.png
Many sites tell me to upgrade my flash. Here is package info I am using just in case:

  • Flash Player not working in Firefox

    Suddenly Firefox will not play flash player content called
    when I play games online. It worked fine a few days ago.
    When I click on the link, it opens the game page, but where
    the game should appear, I see a blank black box. When I click on
    the "Play online game" link I also get a large empty black box.
    I am running Windows XP on an HP Pavilion ze2315us laptop. I
    recently installed trial version of Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro.
    In efforts to fix the problem I tried the following:
    Removed adblocker addresses that might conflict.
    Checked blocked sites
    Removed and reinstalled Flash Player.
    Reinstalled Firefox.
    Set folder options to use Firefox to open SWF files
    All to no avail.
    I tried the web site in IE. Had to download and install Flash
    Player again but it works fine in IE.
    Afterwards, it still did not work in Firefox.
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    I have a similar problem in Linux Fedora 16.
    I have installed adobe flash-plugin 11.2.202.233
    In Google Chrome I can see flash applications very well.
    But in Firefox 11.0 flash does not work.
    When I look in about:plugins I see:
    Shockwave Flash
    File: nswrapper_32_32.liblashplayer.so
    Version:
    Shockwave Flas 11.2 r202
    application/x-shockwave-flash
    Shockwave Flash
    swf
    application/futuresplash
    FutureSplash Player
    spl
    Please, in which OS did you worked?
    In the past I with other versions, it did work without any problem.
    Perhaps I can look if I have firewall is turned on?
    Thanks in advance for any answer,
    Greetings,
    Gaston Verhulst.

  • Flash does not work with Firefox following Windows Vista update 14/5/2014.

    Flash still works with IE9. I've carried out all steps in http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html, i.e. twice updated Flash to V13.0.0.214 (previously V13.0.0.206), activated Firefox Flash add-on, deleted browser data and cache and disabled hardware acceleration. Nothing fixes it! Vista SP2, Firefox 29.0.1.

    Apologies for vague "does not work" from me - and sorry for delay replying. What I understand to be "rich media content" did not display. For example, all text and images in this screen clip from www.metoffice.gov.uk appeared as a single blank grey rectangle. In other websites links displayed in a basic underlined font instead of rich formatted text/images, or video and audio links were completely missing from an otherwise fully rendered webpage.
    However in the last hour Firefox has starting behaving properly again without any further diagnostic efforts from me! For six days some graphics and links have not displayed in Firefox, yet IE9 has behaved perfectly. This has happened a few times before, normal service being restored (in hours rather than days) either by updating the Flash plug-in or for no apparent reason.
    Any thoughts in case of future re-occurrences would be appreciated. Thanks Pat for your time and help.

  • Flash audio not working in Firefox 31.0

    Flash audio works in Chromium. Have tried the following with no success:
    - Resetting Firefox
    - Reinstalling Flash plugin
    Thanks for taking your time to help me out.
    EDIT:
    I noticed in about:plugins a listing for "FutureSplash Player". Perhaps that has something to do with the problem?

    On Linux Adobe has stopped supporting Flash for Firefox.
    There are only security updates of Flash 11.2 available.
    If web pages require a more recent Flash version then they won't work with Firefox and you would have to use Google Chrome.
    Does this happen with all pages that use the Flash plugin?
    Did you check if the player has a volume slider?
    You can check for issues with cookies and "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Edit > Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    You can try to clear the Flash local storage and settings.

  • Flash components not working in Firefox 2 or 3

    Hi all,
    I have a couple simple games that use Flash CS3's list and
    button components. They work great in the Flash authoring
    environment and in IE when testing, but they do not work properly
    in Firefox. The button does not have any graphic associated with
    it, it is only the text of the label parameter that appears, so it
    looks kind of like plain text. The list appears fine in one game
    but does not appear at all in the other. If you want to see a
    sample of this, here is a URL:
    http://websitedev3.dis.wa.gov/games/countries.shtml
    -- this has the list that does not work properly in FF
    http://websitedev3.dis.wa.gov/games/catch.shtml
    -- this has a button on the info pages that does not have any
    graphics on it and looks like plain text ('Start Game').
    Any suggestions on how this can be fixed so these games are
    functional in Firefox would be greatly appreciated. This problem
    persists across multiple machines, so I don't think it's an issue
    with my development computer.

    Both of these load no problems in my FF3

  • Flash player not working with Firefox 5

    Hi all:
    I have been having problems with my Firefox 5 (also was happening with 4) and the Flash Player (newest and previous versions also). Basically, whenever I open a page with flash content, Firefox gets frozen and "not responding" appears on the top bar.After some time, it comes back
    I've tried reinstalling Firefox and Flash Player (also formatting laptop - Windows 7) and this is still happening.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    W.

    You might as well stop wasting your time. The problem seems to be centered around FireFox (since Adobe Flash seems to work fine with IE and Chrome).  After FireFox begin running Flash as a separate process, it no longer retains preset volume settings for Flash, instead, each new FireFox window resets it to max volume. As a result, several times I've had my ears blasted (this can lead to hearing loss and/or damaged audio equipment). This only happens with newer versions of Flash. Consequently, I no longer use the latest versions in FireFox. I'm thinking about totally dropping FireFox and moving completely to Chrome. Looks like neither Adobe or FireFox are gonna budge to fix the problem.

  • Flash Player not working on Firefox, playing everything low quality on Chrome

    Running Windows 7 64-bit
    I was using Firefox and starting to watch a video on YouTube, and set it to 720p fullscreen. However, I noticed that the video was oddly low quality for 720p, and then I looked at the YouTube player bar and saw that even that was fuzzy and low quality. I tried to update to the latest version of Flash Player - the first time I got an error, but it seemed to install fine afterwards. I started up Firefox again and nothing using flash was working. Websites told me to install Flash Player. I am aware that this is a known issue, but I tried using Chrome instead and Flash Player worked just fine on that, except it was still low quality. I can't seem to find an option to change to high quality, and it still isn't working on Firefox. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Flash site not working in IE after changes

    I'm working on a site (www.ontvandradio.co.uk) which is a
    full Flash site. It was working fine in IE6 and 7 but after making
    some amends last week to the content and uploading the new swf file
    it now doesn't work in IE but only on computers that have looked at
    it before. Going to it from a new computer, it works fine.
    This makes me think it must be something to do with the cache
    etc. but nothing I've tried (deleting internet files, offline files
    etc. etc.) has worked.
    Has anyone any ideas why this might be happening? It doesn't
    make any sense to me.
    Cheers,

    You could just leave the settings at their default. Did you
    publish this from Dreamweaver or Flash? All of the alternate and
    noscript information is missing. This html requires that you
    include the file "AC_RunActiveContent.js" in the same location. You
    also have to be sure that Javascript is enabled on the
    browser.

  • Certain iMovie clips not working in Firefox

    I have just processed a number of short video clips in iMovie, taken with my Lumix GX7 camera and also with my Sony Android phone. I took the videos in MP4 format. The clips were processed in the same way, & exported from iMovie to MPEG files. I.e. the files from both devices are now in the same format. BUT, when I put them online in a private gallery, the videos from the Lumix GX cannot be viewed in either Firefox or IE; but the videos taken with the andoid phone can be viewed. For the videos taken with the Lumix GX I get a message saying 'This video can't be played in this browser. Try using a different browser or downloading the video and playing it in a video app'. But the whole point is that I want to send a link that people can view online - not for them to have to download the clip & install some video app! The only browser these clips work in is Google Chrome.
    Does anyone have any ideas? I am really puzzled. Is it anything to do with the frame rate? I seem to recall being told by iMovie that these videos are 25, & the android clips are at 30?
    Should I try to convert the clips back to MP4? iMovie doesn't seem to do this for some reason; when I 'export' it turns them all m4v files (not sure what format this is?). But as I said there is no problem with the clips from the android phone.

    An answer that worked for me ...
    A big THANK-YOU to dougcoull with his answer to the question “How come Vimeo won’t work with Firefox 4”. (Search Vimeo in FF Help).
    Type "about:config" in the address bar of your browser to take you to the config settings.
    Scroll down to "dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll" or cut n paste the term in the Filter.
    If the entry is ‘false’, double click the entry to change from 'false' to 'true.
    Close FF and then re-open for the setting to take effect.
    Please take the effort to inform dougcoull if it works for you too.
    Only issue for me is you may then find that plugin-container.exe is now running with Vimeo eating up and hogging CPU :(

    Thanks Rody,
    Thanks for looking.
    The URL is working by itself in both Safari and Firefox.
    From another Mac and through the webpage, only Safari is working.
    In a PC with IE it is not working, same message. URL not sound.
    If the code is good and the URL too, what could it be ?
    The location of the folder ?
    I don't get why Safari finds it but not the other browsers.

  • Site Not Working On Firefox?

    Hello. This might be more of an issue with Tumblr itself, as opposed to Firefox, but I figured it would be worth posting here as well, since this is an issue that seems to be happening only on Firefox. I have contacted Tumblr regarding this issue, so here's what I wrote to them:
    "Hello. As of today, whenever I try to edit some of my posts, Tumblr will not return me to my dashboard. Usually when I edit a post, Tumblr returns me back to my dash, but as I said, today it isn't doing this. According to one of the people I follow, this was a problem earlier today, but it seems to be still occurring somewhat for me.
    Here are a few facts:
    1) This only seems to be happening on Firefox... however, I have not done anything to change Firefox in the past two weeks at least, and editing posts was working fine/not causing this before today.
    2) I do have ad-ons, but I got rid of them and reset Firefox in order to test if the problem went away if all my add-ons were gone. The problem still happened, so add-ons are not the issue.
    3) Everything is up-to date on my main browser, so obsolete tech is also not the problem.
    So...what's the issue here?"
    Also, just for added context, I also restarted my internet connection (twice!) as well as my computer itself. I have tried replicating this issue in Chrome and IE, but both operate normally- This issue is only happening on Firefox, hence why I am posting here. The only thing I haven't tried is removing Firefox completely and redownloading it, only because I believe it would be similar to resetting it, seeing as how both methods reset the browser to original factory settings (if anyone knows otherwise, feel free to correct me).
    But yeah...what's the deal here?
    Edit: One of my Tumblr followers was also experiencing this issue, but isn't anymore...however, obviously I'm still having this issue. Just providing this edit for additional context.

    Try to use JPG or PNG image file format and make it public view.
    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    <b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
    *You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    *''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Flash Site not working correctly once up on a server...

    Hello,
    I'm very new at Flash. I got a template from templatemonster.com and am using it as my base for my website. I've spent the past week tweaking the site to fit my needs and everything seems fine with it when viewed locally on my computer. The problem is when I load the site onto my web server most of the text seems to get double spaced thus preventing 3 of the buttons from showing up and the text to not be readable. I'm at a complete loss. Please help. Attached are 2 screen shots. First one is what the site looks like localy and the second is how it looks on the web server. Also here is a direct link to the web site- www.shepard-photography.com.
    Thanks!

  • Flash player not working in Firefox with YouTube

    Help! Every since I updated to the latest version of Firefox I can no longer play any videos on YouTube - they hang and stall every few seconds and some never load at all. I have the latest version of Flash, have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, have clicked and unclicked the Global Settings options, have run Firefox in safe mode with extensions off and just Flash running and it still doesn't work. I am on a Mac running OS 10.4.11. What else can I do?

    That's wierd, Adobe TV videos are much higher def than YouTube... so I have a pretty opposite behaviour at times at my end.
    Could you try clicking something in the middle of the YouTube video progressbar, if the video jumps to that part and continues. Share results of that as well.
    Cheers
