Trouble running Adobe Flash Player

I am using Win. 7, 64 bit. with Firefox. I have the latest Flash Player. The problem is that if I run a video, it runs a few seconds and stops. If I move the mouse it runs for a few seconds again. If I click on the task bar the video runs OK. Previously it worked fine. Would installing and then uninstalling Flash Player Pro. be the problem? Help Please. Dick A

To review, I am running Win. 7, 64 bit, Firefox 25,Thunderbird 24, and Flash Player 11.9. When I click on a link in Thunderbird to go to a video on youtube, the video freezes. If I left click the mouse on the video it will sometimes run for a few seconds before freezing again. If I click on a clear spon on the task bar, I can get the video to run properly. If I go directly to youtube via Firefox and locate the same video, it works properly. It worked fine a few weeks ago.
I also have IE loaded on the same computer. It works fine. I have reinstalled Thunderbird and I have reinstalled Flash Player.
Still looking for suggestions.

Why am I having trouble running Adobe Flash Player 11 on my 2011 Macbook Air? I've downloaded and installed it repeatedly; yet when I try to open certain images online or play certain Youtube segments, I get the message, "You must have Adobe Flash 11..."

Why am I having trouble running Adobe Flash Player 11 on my 2011 Macbook Air?

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
1. If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
2. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
3. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
4. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
5. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
6. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
7. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

Cannot run adobe flash player on windows 8.1 pro with IE 11

this is very frustrating and I have research multiple Q&A on this forum with no resolution.
When I try to run adobe flash player I get the error:
Either Flash Player is disabled or ActiveX Filter is ON.
Please follow trouble shooting steps to play Flash content.
I have gone through the steps to attempt to resolve this as indicated on the adobe site and it is not resolved
Enable Flash Player
Disable ActiveX Filtering
Update Internet Explorer to get latest version of Flash Player
I have removed and re-added IE 11.
I have been trying to research this for days and have hit a dead end.
Any recommendations?

@paula1228,
I'm sorry you're encountering issues with Flash Player on Windows 8.1 with Internet Explorer 11. There is a new Flash Player update available today. The new update should be available from the link at the bottom of the Flash Player Issues | Windows 8 page. You can also run Windows Update from the Control Panel to obtain the latest update (KB2974008). If the latest update doesn't display, install all available updates and then check for updates again.
@NerdyWasabi,
Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x. Users cannot install Flash Player for Internet Explorer on their own. They must install the Internet Explorer Update for Flash Player to update Flash Player on Windows 8.x

You'll continue to have trouble, because...
There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store.
These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro?

Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5?

Thanks for your help here is what I did so far!
I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it, I've tried restarting my browser, then my MacBook Pro without any success!
When I click on the Apple in the upper left hand corner and open System Preferences I can see Adobe Flash Player on the bottom under the Other section.
If I open Adobe up and check the version it tells me that I have the most recent version!
I even uninstalled Adobe and installed the newest Beta version, but Adobe is still not working! If I check for the latest version it tells me that I do have the latest beta version, but it still doesn't work!
If the person who made the video used any other video player it works!
Their player, plays the video without a problem!

Am still having trouble downloading Adobe Flash Player.

Count your blessings. You're better off without it.
If you insist upon having Flash Player, there is one and only one URL from which to download it:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
You must also enable plug-ins in Safari. Make your Safari Preferences look like this:
FYI this is the legitimate Flash Player installer:
This one is bogus:

Unless you're using an older (PPC) Mac with OS 10.5 or older, those instructions should work.

Having trouble installing Adobe Flash player 17.0.0.134 on Mac OS 10.10.1. Currently have 16.0.0305 flash player installed

Having trouble installing Adobe Flash player 17.0.0.134 on Mac OS 10.10.1. Currently have 16.0.0305 flash player installed. I've tried quitting Safari. Have not uninstalled currently Adobe as yet. How to fix?

Sorry, when I try to install Flash Player 17.0.0.134, it will begin initialing, then stop saying "Installation Failed" and to press "Finish". It then directs me to troubleshooting. I made sure I quit Safari as per their instructions, but have not gone as far as "uninstalling" my current Flash Player 16.0.0.305, because it looks like I will screw something up in the process.
Hope that information helps.

Problems installing or running Adobe Flash Player for safari

problems installing or running Adobe® Flash® Player for safari when trying to install Adobe Flash Player.pkg it asks to quit Dash Board client then brings up Exclamation mark up and quits install ??????

Adobe Flash is pretty much a 32-bit application. You may be able to fix the problem by going into your Applications folder, and right-clicking on Safari. There is a check box that will allow you to run Safari in 32-bit mode. Try that and see if Flash works in Safari.
I have retired my iMac, and have an HP now, but a friend helped me with the same problem when I upgraded to Snow Leopard. My PC seems to have just one 64-bit browser, that being Internet Explorer. I am using IE9 Beta in 64-bit, and the Beta for Flash "Square" in 64-bit seems to work fine. See link below:

Trouble installing Adobe Flash Player plug in 10.3.183.7

On several sites I have been alerted that I need to install the Adobe Flash Player plugin 10.3.183.7 in order to seeing everything correctly. When I select the install button, I get the message that it could not be installed and that I had to install it manually. Selecting any choices within the dropdown gets no response. And, interestingly, I already have Adobe Flash Player 11.0.1.152 (the latest one) installed on my computer. How do I install this plug in?

There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
1.Download the Flash Plugin version 10.3.183.10 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, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).
