UpDated Flash Player last week doesn't work previous ver worked fine

I updated last week when it prompted me to, now websites that i used to use will not work. it just gives me a blank area where the flash animation should be. I have figured out that it has something to do with my firewall. When i disable the firewall flash works with it running it doesn't. I have tested this with http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ . I don't understand why this ver is causing my firewall to block it. I have all the permission i need and the install was run as admin. I have tried reinstalls and using C/Windows/System32/Macromedia/Flash. I think i just need to change a setting on my firewall but i can't find where the addon is since i'm using firefox, i wish i never updated
setup: Vista Bus, Firefox, CA firewall, Flash Ver 10.0.22.87

I have the same problem...I downloaded around noon today and have been trying to figure out all day what is going on.  You're situation sounds identical to mine.  I was going to play a game that I play regularly and I got in just fine this morning and then at noon it told me to download an updated version of Flash Player I did and it still doesn't work.  I really hope someone can answer the question.

  • Updating flash player and still doesn't work.

    Recently, my games on Facebook and Youtube stopped working and prompted me to upgrade my flash player.
    It included the link to Adobe, as do all the sites that require it.
    So, I did. It says install successful, but it doesn't work.   When I check to see if any version is installed, I see the red x.  Please help.
    I'm using Windows XP  Version 2002 Service Pack 3
    I.E. 8  32 bit.
    P.S.  I can use Firefox and Chrome, but I don't like the quality of how Flash Player runs on them.

    Hi, I see from the other thread you commented on that the Kill-bit was your problem. Glad that worked for you:-)

  • Why doesn't Firefox auto-update Flash Player like Chrome does?

    For security reasons and less hassle, I like Chrome auto-updates Flash Player. Why doesn't Firefox do this?

    Google Chrome has it's own version of the Flash plugin that is apart of the Google Chrome installation files.<br />
    So Google needs to do a full update with every Flash release.
    Firefox uses the Flash plugin as installed in your Linux distribution,<br />
    If your Ubuntu Linux distribution doesn't have an automatic update for Flash then you need to do that manually.

  • After a mac update; flash player asked to be installed.  Install successful but application will not work.

    Hello,
    After a Mac update, flash player (along with silverlight) asked to be installed when I tried to watch video content or play games.  I installed flash player and it reports being successful and appears in my applications.  However, I cannot watch videos or play games, every time I am asked to install flash player again and again and again.  I suspect this has something to do with plugins but I am not sure.  I have un-installed the program and reinstalled but it still will not work.  I check my security settings and it does allow plugins.  I erased my temporary internet files.  I don't know what else to do.  Any help would be appreciated!  This is incredibly frustrating.  Thank you

    Thank you for responding!  I am using a macbook pro 2011, 2.2ghz, intel
    core i7, 16gb - version 10.9.5.   I have not intentionally installed any ad
    blocking software; intact I am inundated with it most times.  My online
    school work required that I disable pop up blockers and all was well until
    an update a few weeks ago for both security and operating system.  To the
    best of my knowledge I am allowing pop ups and plugins but this may be
    where the trouble is.  I am unsure, honestly of what security is running
    besides what I find in the system preference/security tab.  Thank you again
    for responding and any help is most appreciated.

  • Hulu not working on mac OS 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.8 after updating Flash Player to version 11.7.700.169.  YOu tube works fine. Any ideas?

    I recently updated Flash PLayer to version 11.7.700.169 on my imac OSX 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.8 browser and no longer get hulu to work. Scrren is black but audio is playing. You Tube continues to work fine.
    Any ideas?

    JavaScript and Cookies are enabled.  my cookies list shows at least 3 associated with hulu.  Funny thing is, if I grab the up/down control bar on right side of screen with my mouse, then hulu plays in a somewhat chopped frame by frame. As soon as I let go, the frame freezes yet audio portion continues.
    I don't know what a munged Hulu cookie is, however.

  • Why the hell ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10.2 DOESN'T WORK on Firefox 4???

    Adobe Flash Player 10.2 doesn't work on firefox 4. I downloaded 10 times, I installed and again, "Please install ADOBE FLASH PLAYER"

    You appear to have it installed twice. Your system specs show you have both Shockwave Flash 9.0 r28 and Shockwave Flash 10.2 r159 installed.
    What I suggest you do here is to uninstall Flash using Adobe's uninstaller which you can download from here: [http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe uninstall_flash_player.exe]
    Close Firefox before you run the uninstaller, then reboot.
    Then manually install Flash using this file: [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe install_flash_player.exe] Close Firefox again before you run it.

  • . I've  updated my flash player.  That doesn't seem to fix it.

  • Update Flash Player  Preferences

    My favorite webpage is requiring me to update Flash Player more and more often.
    Every time I update, I am forced to select an Update Preference.
    It would be useful if the selection choice from the previous installation were saved so that I wouldn't have to change it every time.

    Hi Mr X.
    Not sure what to take away from your reply.
    So, you're saying that the auto update doesn't apply to the latest version.  I'll keep an eye open for that if it's ever offered for the next, latest version.  I've never seen it in action before, and changing the Auto Update option to my desired choice is getting tedious.  (Did I already say that?)
    Having my chosen setting [effectively] reversed every time there's an update is also offensive.  The problem should be rectified.
    > I don't think that your favorite webpage require v11.5, so it should not be a problem for you.
    Sorry, but my favorite "flash audio player" wouldn't open twice in the last one or two weeks, but only gave a message saying that Flash had to be updated first, yadda yadda.  I wouldn't lie about something like that.  The message said explicitly, "Requires updating to v11.5.xxwhatever-beta."  Today, they wanted the 2nd update, and it was no longer whatever-beta.  If I said it was required, I don't know why you would assume I'm probably wrong.
    In both instances, updating brought the flash audio player back to life.  Updating was required, twice, in fairly quick succession.
    Although you also say "it should not be a problem for me, it *was.*  Evidence my undertaking navigating adobe's incredibly awkward, non-standard, uniquely complex, and user-unfriendly website.  It's not something I would do willingly, but ONLY IF adobe was "a problem for me."
    Yes, I would prefer if the URL of the audio stream were made available so I wouldn't have to deal with a user-unfriendly blight like Flash.  But since the URL is not available, Flash *is* being a problem for me.  That's why I'm here.  Is it coalescing?
    Yeh, this whole thing was sufficiently problematic that I felt it should be addressed.  I might go so far as to suggest that if it is a problem for me, then there really is a problem.  I shouldn't have to defend my opinion that a there is a problem when adobe neglects to confirm the usability of their product(s).
    In summary, I agree with you Mr X.  I shouldn't have a problem.  Thanks for your help.

  • I have to reinstall/update Flash player everyday?

    Hi I am a Mac user (MAC OSX 10.6.8) and I use safari as my main browser. (safari version 5.1.5)
    The thing is when I try to watch youtube videos, at least once a day my video just turns black, or it says 'plug-in failure'.
    I found that the solution for this is updating the flash player, but since this happens everyday I am updating flash everyday.
    Everytime I update flash player, the videos work fine.
    Last time I installed Flash player was yesterday, the latest version possible, and yet the problem occurred just now.
    When I install flash player, I do not uninstall previous versions , simply because it worked fine with them.
    Could that be the main problem?
    I'm just getting really sick of updating this everyday, force quitting all my browsers and losing all the tabs I had opened.
    Please help?

    You don't need to uninstall Flash Player before installing a new version. Because you install Flash Player everyday, it won't be an update. You are simply installing the version that's already present in your machine.
    Could you please go to the following page and let us know the Flash Player version displayed there? https://help-internal.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player. html
    Does this issue happen only with specific sites or with all the sites?
    Thanks,

  • Update flash player in domain

    Dear friends,
    how can I release the update flash player on the computers in a network domain without the users are administrators of the machines.
    Thank you.

    That's not much help in my case, because it requires you to have a distribution agreement with Adobe.  I don't want to distribute Flash Player, I just want to install it on the machines I administer.
    I can't even run the new version of the installer successfully, because it attempts to download Flash Player and the machine I'm working on doesn't have a direct internet connection.  Earlier versions allowed you to download the full installer, so you didn't need internet connectivity on the machine you were installing to; why has this been changed?  Where is the full installer?

  • DO NOT UPDATE FLASH PLAYER

    Unless you want a million viruses and crappy programs to install themselves on your computer, don't update your flash player. It told me I needed to update flash player so I could finish what I was doing for work and next thing you know I'm spending an hour trying to uninstall all of the programs that popped up. When I opened my browser the default page had a sketchy "search engine." I restarted my computer and when it started up all these programs started running without me doing anything. Adobe sucks and their flash player is the worst. It almost cost me my computer AND wasted hours of my time when I needed to get work done.

    Hello,
    When I click on the Citrix link you provide, it takes me to this page:
    When I click INSTALL, a new page opens:
    Nothing is downloaded.
    Since you mentioned the Citrix website, we are aware that the Citrix XenDesktop page, Products - XenDesktop - Download Flash Plugin - Citrix, contains the wrong Flash Player shim/stub installer, although, it doesn't download a file that contains malware/etc.  We are attempting to resolve this with Citrix.

  • After updating Flash Player, continue to get message "Flash Player Update Required"

    Even though I have just installed Flash Player 12 and it shows on my list of programs, I continue to get the message "Flash Player Update Required" when I try to view a video or play a Facebook game.  I have rebooted but still doesn't work.

    Issue resolved!  I uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled it from the
    Adobe website.  Then rebooted and that took care of the problem.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Update Flash Player Multiple iMac's

    Hello Everyone,
                            I work in an elementary school in ohio. I have been working with apple remote desktop trying to install adobe flash player in a lab we have.  We use a generic login in our lab and everywhere else so that the little kids do not have to remember a username and password. I am trying to avoid having to update 40 computers at once by hand. I went to the lab and downloaded the update for adobe flash, but before installing i right clicked and did a show package contents. I then went to the resources folder and then contents folder and found the .pkg file in there. I had read on other forums that installing this would suffice to installing the update.  I used apple remote desktop to install the pkg file and forced the computers to restart, after it came back up I logged in  as the generic login and low and behold it still wanted me to update flash player. If anyone has any good advice for my situation I would greatly appreciate it!!!
