Test Flash Player animation not working in Firefox

Flash demos at the following link are not working for me on Firefox, but work fine in Chrome & Safari: Adobe - Flash Player
I have also gotten an error on Tumblr that Flash wasn't installed. I tested it in safe-mode, when 33.02 was the latest as this is an old problem, & also tested with the latest release version 34.0.5.
This screenshot shows what i see on the Adobe Flash test page - just this dark red color fill, no animation: http://oi61.tinypic.com/2r5ten6.jpg
(Same exact image/animation with Flash 16.0.0.235)
on Chrome/Safari i see this in an animation: http://oi62.tinypic.com/2qdsm13.jpg
i tried uninstalling Flash using these instructions, rebooted, reinstalled, and no change:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html

yup, you're right. i just installed Firefox for the first time on an old laptop and the test animation plays fine. I did test it in safe mode though, which disables add-ons and the problem still happened, so it must be a lower level issue. this is probably causing other problems with Flash for me all over the web. i'll try the uninstall/reinstall first when i have a chance. hopefully that works. if not, then i guess i'll have to create a new profile.
thanks

Adobe flash player does not work on Firefox, but does on Wind Exp

I have reinstalled Adobe Flash Player many times and also reinstalled Firefox, but flash player does not work. Every tim I try to play something it tells me to install the latest version of flash player. Flash player works fine on on Windows Explorer

IE uses a different version of Flash (ActiveX) than other browsers use, you need to install the Plugin version of Flash.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

Flash Player Check Not Working In Firefox?

Hello,
As of today, checking my Flash Player version on the Flash Player Help page gives me this: http://i.imgur.com/fTRMR4l.png, when it would usually tell me if my version was up to date, and what version I have.
The Shockwave Help page works just fine, and the Flash Player Help page works fine in Chrome.
I have tried resetting Firefox, updating Firefox, and using Firefox in Safe Mode, with no fix. So what's going on?

@Gnospen
Took a look at my about:addons page to see if it was set on "Ask to Activate", and it wasn't set to that. It was set on "Always Activate", as you can see here: http://i.imgur.com/tAmvj36.png
Am I looking on the correct page, or is there another page I should be looking at?

Flash Player is NOT working in Firefox

I have installed Flash Player recently on Windows 7. It is working properly i.e. playing vidoes on IE & Chrome but not in Firefox. I have updated both Flash Player & Firefox but it is still not playing any videos. Please solve this for me.

Probably not adobe related. I've posted another question as I think the issue is just with one particular web site.
I've refreshed, uninstalled/reinstalled firefox and plugins twice.

Flash player 10 Not working with firefox Please Help

I have posted here before and for some reason flash player is still not working. I haven't been able to get on any of my fb games because of this. When I go to
play any games it loads the pic then it fades to a white screen, when Ieft click on the mouse it shows a grey box that states Movie not loaded or Adobe flash player 10.
Here is some of the files from my Macromedia
FlashInstall
flashplayer.xpt
FlashUtil10l_Plugin
NPSWF32.dll
FlashUtil10k_ActiveX.dll
If you have any suggestion please help it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if you will receive this, Tonyae, but my ability to reply in
that thread appears to have been disabled. It says below that I can reply
to this email and you will get it so hopefully that's true.
I don't know how or why, but things are working again for me. I uninstalled
/ reinstalled Firefox and Flash countless times. I disabled Java, which
someone had suggested in another thread. Nothing was working. I had
restarted Firefox after every installation, but all of my attempts were
futile. Finally, I restarted my laptop and it worked - I can finally watch
videos on my computer again. (I know I should have tried that much earlier
in the process.) Very relieving to say the least. I'm sorry you're still
having trouble because I know how frustrating it was.
If you receive this, I know I haven't offered much but I would highly
recommend restarting your computer after every change you make. Keep
plugging away and one of them will hopefully work. Good luck!

Flash player does not work with Ie or Firefox with win 8.1?

Flash player does not work with Ie or Firefox with win 8.1 64, If i try and play a video I get the message to install Flashplayer.
If I try and install it it says it is already installed. Your onsite installer says it is not applicable to my machine.
I have followed all the normal steps re enabling addons and active filters etc.
all to no avail Pc is Dell 6 months old, Flashplayer has never worked on this machine. Last MS update mid Dec 2014.
Version of flashplayer is 15....03.......

Flash Player is a built-in component of Internet Explorer. There's nothing separate to download or install.
Firefox requires a different version of Flash Player (the NPAPI plug-in), which will be served to you if you go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using Firefox; however, there are some unique stability issues related to Firefox on Win8.1, and you're probably better off using Google Chrome if you want a more optimal experience with Flash Player.
For problems where IE isn't being detected by sites that require Flash:
First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

Flash player is not working whenever I switch to airport connection

The flash player is not working in both Safari and firefox, when I switch the internet connection to the airport (WiFi), but the Ethernet connection is working fine with flash player.
reinstall of Mac os x 10.6 --> not working
repair disk and permission from DVD ---> not working
I have now. First I ran repair permissions with Disk utility, got some promising repair stuff like

user is 501.
Any further ideas? Or tips on how I could try debugging this? Console gives me squat.

Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Youtube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]
On Windows Vista and above, you can disable Flash protected mode by following the instructions on these pages:

Flash player stop to work with Firefox

Ok it’s just killing me!! Flash player stop to work
with Firefox
All my web site users including me have this problem and I
guess all the millions of mozilla users
When you press play it’s not working or it’s no
sound
What solve the problem is to download oldest Flash-Player
Please fix it as fast as you can.
Thanks.

Thanks for the assistance Chris. I tried the 11.7 option without success. I downloaded the 11.7 file, I closed all browsers, used the flashplayer uninstaller, restarted the CPU, installed the 11.7 (with auto updates disabled). Restarted Firefox, tested a Flickr video, same "no-play" results.
However, after doing the same thing and downloading the Archive version http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.75_archive.z ip I was able to play the Flickr videos! WooHoo.
I completed the update process to the latest version, and now the videos play properly with the latest version!
Not sure what the bad actor was, the 11.7 version did not fix it, but the older 10.3 version did!
Thanks to all for the assistance with this pain in the arse issue.

Flash Player does not work with Standard User, but will work when browser is "Run as Administrator"

I don't understand why this is happening, but Flash Player will not work when a Standard User is using the browser. It will only work when the browser is run as an administrator. Any way to fix this? I've tried to uninstall, and reinstall the player, and it still wouldn't work.
The user is on Windows 7, 64-bit. Using IE 10.
Flash not working for Standard User - YouTube

Any update to provide at all here guys? Again, in my situation, it's very much rights-related as a standard user doesn't even report that the flash player exists when testing it on the Adobe Flash Version Detection website (despite it showing up in Control Panel and under Add/Remove Programs). I've already tried giving the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed and files/subfolders appropriate permissions for the standard user and still nothing. If I either give the user in question full local admin rights or logon as the domain admin, then the Adobe Flash Version Detection website says Flash is installed and Flash works fine.
Thoughts???

Flash Player does not work after steps to resolution

I am using Windows 8.1 and flash player will not work. I have "enabled" and removed Active X control as per instructions but it still does not work.

8.1 means Ie11... and that means...
"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Flash player does not work with new ICS Android 4.0.4 OS. Has this problem been addressed?

Flash player does not work with new ICS Android 4.0.4 OS. Has this problem been addressed? I am using Firefox Beta for android and I also tried just Firefox.

Please check the Play Store app for any Flash updates and install them if present.

Flash player does not work under one user account.

Flash player does not work under one of my user accounts.
My system: I work with a mac mini with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
What I have done:
I installed the flash player maybe one year ago under my "first" user account. At that time this user account had had administrator authorization. In the meantime I had to change this "first" user account in an account without administrator authorization and created an administrator user with which I installed different programms. Lately, the message came up that it would be necessary to update the flash player. I did it; under the "first" user account, but of course with the administrator's password for installing. The installation had been "successful" - so I was told. But it did not run. I tried it again and again. Each time with "deinstallation" first. No way; it did not work.
After asking Adobe for the reason of the problem, they suggested to install the programm directly under the administrator user. I did that (of course after deinstalling under the "first" user account) with the result, that flash player runs under my administrator and my "second" user account, but not under the first user account. There I am always told to update my flash player.
With this result, I talked to Adobe. So they told me to contact the producer of the operating software, since this would be a mistake of the operating software.
And here I am - full of hope to get help from you.
Thanks for reading. And thanks in advance for helping me.

Flash player will not work on my computer, would love advice

I have windows vista. When I visit a web page that requires flash, it instructs me to download it (even though I'm sure I have it ialready...). I do so, it says it has downloaded successfully but I still cannot view the website. I have uninstalled my current version of flash and reinstalled the latest version numerous times. It even shows up in my list of programs. But each time I visit a site that uses it, it tells me I need flash to view it. Very frustrating. And suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

This was very helpful - thank you. I unchecked "active x filtering" and it seems to be working, under tools in IE. a simple solution, that may have taken me days to figure out myself! Hopefully it continues to work from thiis point forward. Thanks!

Flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits

Hello,
My flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits with Firfox and IE8 (lasts versions).
My Flash player version : 10.0.45.2, but I tried with version 9 too, with same problems.
I have tried to uninstall, reboot, reinstall several times, ... witch did not worked.
In fact, it works correctly on some sites, like youtube, but not on some others like :
http://www.dailymotion.com/ => black screen instead of videos, right click gives flash context menu
http://www.canalplus.fr/ => videos does not load, right click gives flash context menu
http://www.myspace.com/ => no audio player, right click gives flash context menu
some games in http://www.kongregate.com/ => black screen instead of games, right click gives flash context menu
I have no problem with shockwave in http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
No problem too with flash player on http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
But in the Global Privacy Settings panel (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l), I cannot change any settings :
I cannot check boxes,
My changes are not saved.
In most of flash animations, videos, ...,
when I click on parameters, I cannot do anything, even closing.
when I am in full screen mode, the message "press escape to exit...." does not disappear.
Last thing, all those problems was not there when I was on Windows XP, few weeks ago, and appear with my registered Windows 7 premium familly edition, with the same hardware configuration...
Thank you for your help

Hi eidnolb

This is what I have :
Verify user permissions
I have an administrator account.
I tried (uninstall, install and run) with super-administrator account for same results
Install the most current version.
I am running the latest version (10.0.45.2)
Run the Clean Installer to Fix 3rd Party Flash Player Cleaners
I did not "clean" my computer.
Troubleshoot Pop-up blockers
I have no Pop-up or esle blocker software.
Ensure that Internet utilities do not block Flash Player
I tried (uninstall, install and run) without Avast.
I have windows 7 firewall. I do not know where I can allow ActiveX controls and Flash (SWF) content. I do not see anything relative to ActiveX an Flash in allowed program list.
Fix machine crashes when displaying Flash content
I have no freez or crash.
Using IE, Shockwave Flash Object is Enabled and vs 10.0.45.2
Using FF, I have SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and it is Enabled
I really do not understand !!
Thanks,
Ju'

Flash Player is not working on any browser in Windows 8

Flash Player is not Working on internet explorer, or chrome, or firefox...
I have tryed some processes that I have found in this and other forums like not filtering activex, changing internet options, deleting browser data, deleting flash saved data, uninstalling flash, re-installing flash...
uninstalling browsers, reinstalling, uninstalled the antivirus, re-installed it, installed another, disabiling it, nothing works.
When you enter a site using flash, such as youtube, every browser shows the control but not the video, then crashes and shows a message indicatin that flash is not responding, and sometimes saying that a script is not responding either...

Also, I'd appreciate some more detailed information on your system.
Open a command line, and type the following:
dxdiag
Hit enter, and it will launch the DirectX diagnostic tool.
Choose Save All Information and choose a location. Open it with a text editor and just copy the contents to a reply here.
Thanks!
