(SOLVED)Joystick in flash in firefox

Hi everybody, I'm really happy using Arch, it's really amazing, all it's fine about it. But I want to play flash games in firefox with a joystick, is there any way to do that?
Arch is working great and the joystick too with all the games but no the flash ones in firefox.
I've been searching in google and found a python wrapper named jkeys that "turn joystick events in X keystrokes" but i have it a try and seems to do nothing, and looks like that is an unmaintained project. so there is another way to play Cactus McCoy(http://www.notdoppler.com/cactusmccoy.php) with a joystick?
Thank you

[Solved]Freeze using flash in Firefox / Seamonkey or in Tuxracer.

Hi,anyone know how to sort this problem ? .
Updated the graphics and sound cards sometime ago and get the occasional freeze with certain apps;
I can use Tuxracer or flash media on Youtube for;
less than 3 minutes using the 4x Radeon 7000 graphics card and 4-1 C-media 8738 sound card.
about 10 minutes if i revert the sound back to the onboard chip but retain the radeon graphics.
constantly,ie no problem with flash media,if i revert the graphics back to the SiS onboard graphics but then Tuxracer will only run at 4fps as of no acceleration from the sis driver.
When i do get a freeze this machine seems not to respond to anything.The screen will not change and ctrl+alt+backspace has no affect.The keyboard is in fact working though and successive ctrl+alt+delete will shut at least the hard drive down safely.No file sys errors on reboot.
Cannot find any errors in the /var/log files.The original Arch installation was when using the Radeon graphics and C-media sound.
No other problems apparent.Arch and hardware work great otherwise.BTW had same problem in Ubuntu before Arch.
Best Wishes from a happy Arch user.Chris.

Many thanks Shazeal and Inkaine for your reply's,Problem is solved.
It was the cpu overheating that caused the problem.Cleaning then reseating the cpu cooler with new heat transfer paste went most of the way and fitting a more powerful fan finished the job off.Can play games or flash movies on Youtube endlessly.So particular thanks Shazeal.
What misled me was that i thought it was a graphics or sound freeze only.No it was a total freeze.On the last of 20/30 hardware button reboots following the freeze i booted into a live cd and ran fsck from there which indicated 'rebuilding journal'.So what have i learned...
1)If you cannot find a solution that works then ask a question.
2)Arch GNU/Linux is very strong to withstand all i have done to it over the last few days.
3)Arch rebuilds a faulty file system very quick indeed!!.
4)Take 'quiet' off my Grub menu list Kernel options.
5)My motherboard heat sensor chip is probably reading low.
Once Again,many thanks,
Chris,clodhopper by handle and clodhopper by nature.

When loading any page with Flash content Firefox will always crash. Any Ideas to fix this?

The issue occured following upgrading to 3.6.13 from the previous version.
Firefox will not crash if the Adobe Flash plugin is disabled. I have uninstalled and re-installed Flash player & Firefox, both of which did not solve the problem.
The issue is not present within the latest versions of IE, Chrome, Opera or Safari.
Any help to possibly solve this problem would be greatly appriciated?

Are you getting the crash reporter when it crashes? If so, please provide a crash id -> https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report

Shockwave flash causes firefox 4 crash

shockwave flash causes firefox 4 hangs. it happens whether using the latest or the previous version of flash. removing flash solves the problem but removing flash is not a solution. this happens on a computer with Windows 7. However on another computer with XP this does not happen.

#Download a copy of Flash from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and save it to your desktop.
#Then download the [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html Flash Uninstaller]
#Close Firefox via File | Exit
#Run the uninstaller to remove Flash from Firefox. It will also remove it from IE.
#Reboot
#Run the Flash installer you downloaded to your desktop earlier (do not start Firefox). This will install it on Firefox only.
#Open IE and go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and choose Run when you see the prompt.
#Test the installation in both Firefox and IE by going to: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Problem with Flash in Firefox for MAC

Hello,
I have a little trouble with flash in firefox ...
In fact, when I go on websites via firefox and it is the flash ... animation or flash application in meeting the latency to the point that even the youtube player lag when I also want to press the pause button (to pause the video) ...
Major latency problem also when I play games in flash ...
I tested the same sites in Safari and then everything is nikel I do not understand ...
I deleted the files "Player.plugin Flash" and "flashplayer.xpt" in the library of mac and reinstalling flash but it has not helped!
Configuration: Mac OS X
Firefox 3.5.3
Désolé si mon anglais n'est pas parfait, je l'ai traduit avec google ...

FRENCH VERSION :
Bonjour,
J'ai un petit soucis avec flash sous firefox...
En effet, quand je vais sur des sites via firefox et qu'il y a du flash... l'animation ou application sous flash rencontre des latences à tel point que même le player youtube lag également quand je souhaite appuyer sur le bouton pause (pour mettre en pause la vidéo)...
Gros problème de latence également quand je joue à des jeux sous flash... style "le 4ème duel"
j'ai tester les mêmes sites sous SAFARI et là tout est nikel je ne comprends pas ...
j'ai supprimé les fichiers "Flash Player.plugin" et "flashplayer.xpt" dans la bibliothèque de mac et réinstaller flash mais cela n'a rien arrangé !!!
Configuration: Mac OS X
Firefox 3.5.3

That is a Microsoft Word issue, so you will get the best results asking over on the Microsoft Office for Mac forums on Microsoft's web site. Many people here don't use MS Word, while everyone there does.

Can't I stop the HOG Flash from Firefox? I use FlashBlock but a constant fight. Often both cores maxed at 100%,laptop very slow until I kill Flash in Tsk Mangr

Flash is the problem. It often maxes both cores of my dual core processor and brings processing virtually to a halt.
Originally, I killed flash in Task Manager whenever i heard my fan come on and also noticed slow system response. This was very distracting and took a lot of time.
Then I installed FlashBlock, but it doesn't stop Flash unless you tell it for each and every website.
When reading news, and opening a link, I will hear the fan start, so i click the block button/icon in Firefox to block the site from using flash. Some sites don't launch with the FlashBlock icon. I have to use the manual kill option for them. This extremely frustrating. I understand why Steve Jobs hated Flash.
I don't like Apple's money-sucking wallet-leach behavior, so I use WinTel and live with the frustrations of which this is the biggest. HTML5 supposedly is the solution, but site builders use flash.
FireFox needs a flash control switch built in the browser to give control of Flash - block/ask, etc. functionality.

By the way, Firefox does have a Click-to-Play feature you can use for Flash. That will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it. However, the approval is per site, I believe, so you may need an add-on to control it per page.
To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
Not a solution, but hopefully will help a bit.

Problem in displaying flash in FireFox

Hi all,
I have problem in displaying flash in FireFox 2.0. but it
works very fine in IE.
any one please help me....
Shanthi.

I came across this post since I too have the same problem. I
had a current firefox version installed (9.0.28.0) and downloaded
and installed the newest version (9.0.45.0) and when I get to a web
site with flash content, I see the 'loading' bars, but then I get a
black screen while the contents audio is playing.

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.

I have both versions 10 and 12 of shockwave Flash on Firefox OS 26. I wish to delete or remove V10

I have both versions 10 and 12 of shockwave Flash on Firefox OS 26. I wish to delete or remove V10 but can't from any process I know including Windows\system32\macromed\flash path. This deletes both of them .
What next?

Flash Player Uninstaller
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
I recommend keeping BOTH ActiveX and the regular Player Plugin installed, even if you don't use IE.

I have spent hours trying to install Adobe Flash on Firefox and it won't work.

I have spent hours trying to install Adobe Flash on Firefox and it won't work.

Seems a common problem.
What OS are you using, Windows 8 64 bit or something? Win 8 has an embedded Flash Player on it, and I have been told here that if this is the case, installing a new version of Flash Player is not necessary, but Fire Fox needs the plug in. They came out with a Flash Player plug in for use with Fire Fox that includes a debugger, but I have not tried it yet. (see below).
I have tried installing Flash Player 11.8.800.994 and 11.7.70.224...... and all crash. I think maybe some anti virus software needs to be disabled to allow installation, or the anti virus thinks its malware. I am also not sure if I need to also install Shockwave Flash for the whole thing to work?
Not sure the following will help and I am about to try it because I am going round in circles, too.
If 11.7 extended support release works for you, would you please update your success by adding a reply at the bottom of your original post, and let us know what you did that worked?
Good luck!
Announcement: Attention: Please read for important changes to Flash Player 10.3

Beginning July 9th, 2013 we will be updating the version of our "extended support release" from Flash Player 10.3 to Flash Player 11.7 for Mac and Windows. To continue to stay current with all available security updates you will need to install the 11.7 extended support release or update to the most recent available release (11.8, etc.) For full details, please see this blog post:

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.

a.lopov;
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.

Don't use the download manager; download the installer for your operating system directly from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

Flash makes firefox crash

Topic kinda says it all; any websites which contains flash makes firefox crash. I believe the problem started 1-2 days ago. I'm clueless, I don't remember there has been any related updates.
I've tried to move ~/.mozilla somewhere else, and reinstall flashplugin, which not fixed the problem.
Oh yeah.. opera DOES NOT crash with flash.
Thanks in advance.

Aha! That's what I do, yes. Is there anything I can do against this, except for not wrapping it with aoss? Because I quite like how software mixing worked out of the box for me on arch
I described it here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … highlight=

It would be nice if someone would add a howto or smth to set firefox to use sound with dmix

[SOLVED] Sound in Flash

Hi,
I got a problem with Flash in Firefox, everytime i start my computer and start a Flash video i have sound in it. But if
I want to start Teamspeak or VLC or any other programm which also have sound output, they crash or even dont start.
And if i close my Firefox or just the Flash-Video i am able to start the other programs and use them, but if i want to watch a flash movie or clip
the sound dont work anymore....
I think its a problem caused by me using PulseAudio, because this is only happening since i installed PulseAudio and got it working for all my
other applications.
I hope you can help me. And i allready searched for my problem but nothing helped me -.- .
Edit:
OK, I fixed the whole thing with a reboot... -.- And I don't know which trick from my tried finaly did it and fixed my problem... -.-

I tried the multilib version and the x86_64 prerelease. Both did work perfectly fine before I rebooted (I tried which one works better recently and couldn't see any real difference). Didn't have trouble with flash for months before this reboot.
I found a few modules I was unfamilliar with were loaded:
snd_seq_os snd_seq_dummy snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq snd_seq_device
... and removed them with rmmod. No change. (I should have restarted alsa at that point I guess just to make sure, those weren't the problem?)
Then I changed the rate in asound.conf to 41000 and restarted alsa - now everything works again! Strangely, no more freezes too (those were reliable).
I remember having had problems with flash not having sound unless I set the rate to 41000 about a year ago. After some updates, I tried again and all rates supported by my sound-card seemed to work. My guess would be regression in whatever fixed that problem... but I don't know.
I'll leave that "unsolved" until I manage to figure out what it really was about.
