StageWebView disable Flash Plugin

Hello everybody,
I am developing an App with Adobe AIR for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
In some part of the application I use a StageWebView to display HTML-Content.
Unfortunately within the HTML-Content there is flash-content and its performance is bad.
Therefore we disabled rendering of Flash content by adding "<application android:hardwareAccelerated="false"/>" to the AIR-Discriptor file.
But this options only prevent rendering/visibility of flash-content and actually does not disable the use of the plugin within the StageWebView.
Also if I changed under Android browser settings the usage of plugins the behavior is the same.
The native android browser behaves the right way.
Is there any posibility to really disable the plugin in StageWebView?
Regards,
Jan

The difference you're seeing is that iOS does not allow Flash plug-ins, even through StageWebView.
(sorry, can't help you on how to turn off the plug for Android)

I am not able to print pdf file from coursesmart website. i disabled flash plugin and only images are on the pages. When i preview, i only see blank page...help

i disabled flash plugin.
now i open site - http://www.coursesmart.com/9780495797494/2
page contains images.When i click on print preview button, i cant see anything.... also i tried all pdf plugins and extensions, but none help to convert/print page in pdf. please help. how can i print whole page to pdf?

Doesn't work in Google Chrome either.
Looks that the page has a lot of protection measures (context menu is disabled) and DIVs that overlay each other, so it is possible that the print routine only sees an empty DIV and not the image or the real page.<br />
That big image consists of two parts as you can see via Tools > Page Info > Media and the inspector.

Firefox ESR 10.0.12 disables flash plugin - updates to the last version do not work?

Suddenly - without any actions by me - FF ESR 10.0.12 refuses to accept Adobe Flash? (System Win 7 64 Ultimate)
It started with a very annoying bar, which cost me 2 hours to deactivate, which told me to update an very old and unused Adobe Reader plugin. Then it insisted, that the Foxit PDF reader plugin was not up to date. Since I do not use it, I deactivated it too. Since I seldom use Flash, I just found out today, that youtube does not work anymore - FF insists, that my flash plugin is too old and it deactivated it.
This has cost me hours up to now and it is _exactly_ the reason why I use the ESR channel.
What I did:
Deinstalled Adobe Flash completely (using Windows). Used the normal Firefox update, which it recommends (your flash player was deactivated, please install...). No success, it simply goes into a loop, always telling me my flash player is too old.
I also installed it directly from Adobe (the Firefox version!!), in all cases it reports version 11.5.502.104. The last version from Adobe - but it seems to be too old???
I am spitting angry now - this kind of trouble is the reason I only use ESR versions from Mozilla. I do not want your chaos troupe to play around with _my_ installation. But obviously you found ways to do so.
If this is not solved (and no, I will _not_ reinstall Firefox, I will _not_ delete my profile) in a few days, Firefox is dead for me. I am already looking to Chrome and Opera. Many friends have these browsers - I am a bit conservative, and I want my browser stable and the look an feel should be stable also. I do _not_ want a new version every two weeks, which every time costs my effort and time to configure it how I want it.
The question here is: How did you manage to disable the last version of Flash, and why? Why must I now register here and invest valuable time to get my browser to work again?? If I had done something, installed or removed something, ok. But I did not. (And yes, up to now I did update Flash and other plugins, when I was prompted to do so)
Clearly _your_ management does _not_ work: If I use the solutions which FF itself recommends, it sends me in an endless loop: Install newest Flash, sorry, Flash is outdated, install newest Flash...
Is this the 'new security'? Bah. If you did this for the 'normal user' (which you obviously do not respect anymore), you failed. And you failed completely for me: If software insists to do things 'automatically', it should at least do them reliably, _or_ it should ask. But working in the background, changing important things, reporting nothing, and then failing is exactly the reason why I disable all 'automatic' activities and want to be _asked_ before some idiotic piece of c.... deconfigures itself - and stops working...
Hints to the Troubleshooting Info below:
At this time Flash player is installed, shows in the systems software list as 'Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin', Version 11.5.502.146. The rest are my normal plugins. Serveral changes to about:config were done by me in an effort to make FF usable again, without nagging 'info' bars...

Additional information - according to the wiki you pointed me to, it was correct to uninstall flash using Windows control panel. I am very sure that I already had the latest version installed from the beginning, because Flash player pointed me to an update on Windows start (as usual) several days ago.
The error clearly lies with FF, since despite an up to date Flash player it decided it wants it new - something to do with the blacklist? How can it tell, that its outdated, if it does not find it and not show it in the list of plugins?
There is something fishy here...

Firefox is disabling all plugins (including flash) by default and will not let me enable them

I am using Firefox 23 (updated) and the latest flash plugin from Adobe's website. I am trying to access any pages with flash on them, and it says the flash plugin is disabled. When I pull up the plugins page, it says all of my plugins are disabled. If I click on them, I do not get a "Enable" button. I only have a "Remove" button. If I click on "More" and select "Always Activate" at the bottom and then restart the browser, the plugins are still disabled.
I deleted my addons.sqlite & pluginreg.dat as well (per another suggestion on the forum) and restarted -- there is no change.
I am so frustrated. I have used firefox for years, and I have never had the problems I have had with plugins and flash before this year. I am on the verge of going full-time to Chrome (which is NOT having these problems.). Please help me!

hello jesabele, if you have a "remove" button next to plugins something fundamentally is wrong (since plugins cannot be removed in firefox, because they are installed on a system level). please try to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] and see if this can address the issue...

Firefox disabled by flash plugin telling me to update to new version. I can't update to the lastest Adobe flash player 11, because it does not support Windows Vista 64-bit. So now what am I supposed to do?

I have Windows Vista 64-bit. I can't play on-line games on Pogo. I already contacted Pogo & they told me to update flash player. Firefox disabled by plugin for flash. I can't get the most updated Adobe flash player because it doesn't support 64-bit.

Flash Player lags Firefox but doesn't when I disable Shockwave Flash Plugin

On certain websites with Flash based web players my whole of Firefox lags like crazy. I have been trying to fix this issue for a while to no avail (Tried resetting, re-installing, etc.) It mostly happens when I move my cursor over the Flash player. After I move my cursor so somewhere else on the webpage (a non-Flash part) it start flickering between the default cursor and pointer (clicking finger icon)
Now today I decide to uninstall the Flash application from my PC and reinstall it. After I uninstalled the Flash player suddenly I have no stuttering issues on Firefox anymore! But of course some other Flash related application do not work anymore.
When I re-install the Flash player it goes back to stuttering and lagging. When I disable the Flash player plugin in about:addons the stuttering is gone.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. It has been bugging me for so long now that I have to use Chrome to visit certain websites...

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Flash plugin is disabled in Firefox due to vulnerability but no update is available. What can I do?

I am using Firefox in Linux and when I click check for updates it says the Flash plugin is up to date.

Flash 11.2.202.425 is the current for Linux as 11.2.202.424 and earlier will give the message. The older Flash is not disabled completely but Click to play.
Check the Flash version at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ as it is up to date as the Plugin check page is manually updated.

Firefox Flash plugin crashes when FF launched with "Run as different user"

I often start Firefox in Windows 7 (x64) using the "Run as different user" mechanism. After upgrading my Flash plugin to v11 (11.8.800.94), the browser will hang for several minutes when visiting any page that contains Flash content. When Firefox becomes responsive again, scrolling a page with Flash content will cause the app to hang again. Disabling the Flash plugin eliminates the problem.
It seems the plugin is silently crashing -- I'm not alerted to a plugin crash in any way (no dialog or yellow "Flash player crashed" notice at the top of the window), but after FF hangs I will see a new crash report entry in the FF about:crashes list. An example crash report is available at https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/ff452291-b5b2-44e4-a172-416792130818
The plugin does not crash when Firefox is running under the same account that is logged onto Windows interactively -- only when running FF as a different user. For example, if I log onto Windows with user account Adam and launch FF normally, the problem does not exist. If I close FF and launch it as user Bob (shift+right-click Firefox Shortcut, choose "Run as different user"), the problem will appear. However, if I log into Windows as user Bob and launch FF normally, the problem does not exist.
I have tried the following as troubleshooting steps, all to no effect:
Create new Windows user accounts to rule out potential Windows or Firefox profile issues.
Use another PC (also Windows 7 x64). The same behavior occurs on both PCs
Disable AVG antivirus.
Upgrade Firefox to latest version (23.0.1).
Disable Flash hardware acceleration.
Give both user accounts full local admin privileges.
Can anyone suggest something to try next?
Update: Per the troubleshooting instructions at < http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0 >, I was able to eliminate the problem by adding the line
ProtectedMode=0
to my C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg file to disable Flash Player Protected Mode. There are instructions on that page for submitting a Protected Mode-related bug, and I will follow through with that.

Maybe you did't understand my previous statement. There are no crashes in FF 3.6, There is no previous evidence FF 14 was ever here, I completely uninstalled all trace of Firefox, no app data, no preferences, no cache. I will upgrade to FF14 so I can send IDs,
so here ya go.

Flash plugin hangs all browsers on my mac

Starting about a week ago, about 1/3 of sites that use flash cause my browser to hang.   It's not browser specific - happens the same in Firefox, Safari, and Opera.   Symptom is complete freeze of the browser, requiring force quit.   An easy reproduce is http://www.chase.com ; that site crashes my browser with 100% repeatability.
Disabling the flash plugin completely fixes the problem, but then I can't see flash content.
System details:
OS: Mac OS X 10.5.8
Hardware:   Mac Pro Quad-core 2.66Ghz
Flash player version: 10.0.43_34
Browser: All
I have already tried all of the following:
      • Uninstalling / reinstalling flash player.
      • Deleting/rebuilding browser profiles
      • Installing every version of player 10.x available in the archive, and a couple versions of 9.x ... all cause the same problem.
Interesting note:
     • Problem does not occur on my MacBook Pro, which has a nearly identical software configuration.
I have filed a bugreport, but what good does that do me? I don't even have privileges to view the bugreport, so I don't know whether it's been responded to or not.   In the meantime, half the web is unusable because everybody uses flash.

I had this exact same problem with my macbook pro 2.6Ghz laptop
I was running OSX 10.5.7 with flash 8 or so when some websites I frequent forced me to upgrade. The player didn't work off the bat and after re installing the player as well as all my browsers, repairing permissions I was starting to lose hope. I got the latest system update to 10.5.8 and afterward determined it was the plugin itself that was the problem. Couldn't fix it by removing the plugin from my library files, and even worse couldn't find Flash 8 or 9 ANYWHERE to downgrade.
The installer itself is pretty useless as you can only choose the drive to install the plugin and not integrate it seperately into your browsers as you choose. I suppose this is for convenience, but when it doesn't work it's a real bummer. Some linux users I know have far more problems with flash 10 than I do, so I'm thankful to have recieved at least minimal support for my platform from Adobe.
I hypothesized that Adobe simply did not create a very versatile plugin, and that since everyone and their dog has snow leopard (with no flash problems whatsoever) that snow leopard managed to recieve better support. Sure enough installing snow leopard and re-installing the plugin has yielded no problems so far. Good thing I had a free snow leopard upgrade disk with my computer or I, like many other people here, would still be unsatisfied.
What has flash 10 done for me that flash 8 hasn't? Nothing but headaches so far.
Overall Adobe satisfaction rating: 3/10
You guys have made great code in the past! Stop being lazy!

How do I keep Firefox from asking to install the Flash plugin (which I don't want) ?

Using Firefox 26.0 for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0
How do I disable Firefox from requesting to download the Flash plugin every time I visit a site with video content?
Frequently I visit sites that have some video content; 99% of the time, I'm not interested in seeing the video; if interested, will download it and play it locally with my own video player (not Flash). Some sites
will let me play the video even without Flash.

Go to your address bar and type "about:config", press Enter, in search bar, type "plugin.state.flash", on the option that will appears double click or click with right button mouse and click and "Edit...", then change its value to 0 (never active)
0 <-- Never active.
1 <-- Ask to active.
2 <-- Default, always active.

Firefox 5.0 and Flash plugin 10,3,181,34 (current) will not play NPR audio nor BBC audio/video. MAC OS 10.6.8 both NPR work with Safari v.

tried re-installing firefox and the flash plugins. set all the setting in the applications preferences to prompt(no prompts received), tried disabling all the plugins expecting messages that plugin in missing or disabled(no message). No problems with Safari.

Actually, I've usually always had this problem with every version of Firefox. Seems like it was fixed for a while, but I worked on it so long I don't remember if or what the fix was. Does anyone know if there is a tool to right-click a link or file and open in another browser so we can view flash videos?

How do I disable the plugin check at Firefox startup?

Starting in the last day or two, every time I start Firefox, in addition to my homepage, I get a nuisance tab that is checking my plugins. I need to disable this stupid function or I will have to discontinue using Mozilla Firefox after 20 years as a faithful Mozilla user. I am happy with, and have no intentions of upgrading, my version of Firefox (3.6.17). I also have no intentions of upgrading my Flash plugin as newer versions are incompatible with an online activity in which I engage.
I have followed instructions in the user forum for changing the status of plugins.update.notifyUser from true to false in "about:config", but it apparently resets itself to true. None of the user forum suggestions correct this problem. If this unwanted, stupid tab cannot be disabled, I guess I will have to abandon Mozilla, both for Firefox and Thunderbird, and pursue options that do not force unwanted content on the user.
In addition, it seems impossible to actually speak to anyone at Mozilla about the problem. So hopefully someone will answer this question with a solution to the problem.

I have had this problem too. I tried both methods posted by other users and was unsuccessful. It is so annoying that I will no longer be using Firefox. Goodbye.

Adobe Flash Plugin Crash in Firefox and IE

About a week ago my firefox and internet explorer browsers haven't been able to play any flash movies. For example, I go to http://www.adobe.com/products/flash.html and click play on the main video section that pops up and the adobe flash plugin has crashed screen appears.
I also uninstalled and reinstalled flash to the newest version and back to version 10.3 as well and both of these things did not fix the problem.
Please let me know if you need any other info to help fix the problem. I appreciate the help!

Flash plugin detected but not working (Firefox 22 on Linux)

Hi all,
I can't get the flash plugin to work. It's installed, detected in about:plugins, but when I visit adobes's test page at http://www.adobe.com/fr/shockwave/welcome/ , I just get the usual " you need a plugin to view this content" thing.
This happenned since I migrated from Mageia 1 to Mageia 2, and still doesn't work on Mageia 3, which uses Firefox 17 ESR. I then downloaded and installed Firefox 22 directly from Mozilla, still with no luck. I've reset my profile, tried to use an empty profile, tried disabling all add-ons, still no luck.
about:plugins displays this:
File : libflashplayer.so
Path : /opt/firefox/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Version : 11,2,202,297
State : Enabled
Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202
This is the most up-to-date flash version available from Adobe.
Another thing is that this machine is a 32 bits install, on an Athlon XP 3000+ with a Radeon X1650 graphics card. Surprisingly, on another machine, using the same distro but with a 64 bits install, Flash works well.
I'm out of ideas now, so any hint would be welcome. Thank you.

Shockwave also known as Shockwave for Director is not the same as the Shockwave Flash Player.

Does Mac OS 10.6.2 disable Flash Player?

I cannot play a .swf file under OS 10.6.2 using the Flash Player.plugin ver. 10.0.32.18 but can play the same file under OS 10.5.6 using Flash Player.plugin ver. 9.0.151. I can also play it under OS 10.6.1 and under 10.4.11. Is this an OS issue or an issue with the most recent Flash Player download?
I have a .swf file that was created using Jing by Techsmith. I can play this file on my MacBook under OS 10.5.6 using Flash Player. I access Flash Player either via the GetInfo (cmd-I) window or via Cntrl-Click > Open With. On the MacBook I have Flash Player.plugin ver. 9.0.151 in the ~Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder and I'm running Safari 3.1.2 (5525.20.1). This method of playing the file also works on my 13" MacBookPro using OS 10.6.1 and on my 15" MacBookPro running OS 10.4.11
However on my iMac running OS 10.6.2 the file can NOT be played since Flash Player IS NOT AVAILABLE either via the GetInfo (cmd-I) window or via Cntrl-Click > Open With.. On the iMac I'm using Safari 4.0.4 (6531.21.10) and I have Flash Player.plugin ver. 10.0.32.18 in the ~Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder.

Sno doesn't disable Flash. I suppose you could try reinstalling Flash.
Here is the uninstaller: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/uninstallflash_playerosx.dmg.
