Why do Yahoo Flash videos not always run correctly in Chrome and Firefox/Windows 8?

I upgraded early last month to Windows 8 Pro.
Running Yahoo! News and other videos (Yahoo! Screen, etc.; virtually all Yahoo branded products) I get a black screen, no error message on Chrome and Firefox. The videos run correctly on Internet Explorer.
I have not found a way to run these videos at all in Firefox or the 64-bit Waterfox.
In Chrome, I can DISABLE the internal Pepper-based Flash player and the videos will run (but nothing ELSE will: no YouTube, etc.)
I can keep a plug-ins page open in Chrome and repeatedly enable and disable the internal Flash player; I can copy and paste the URL for what I'm watching back into IE...or perhaps some kind and knowing person here will have a better idea. For me, I sense a bug somewhere. BTW...this machine dual-boots Win8 and WIn7. The problem does not exist in Win7. Please don't suggest going back to Win7; that's a VERY mature (translate SLOW and quirky; survived repeated change of motherboard and other major components) install that I'm continually weaning myself away from and rarely boot into it anymore (Win8 boots from SSD and is blazingly fast, Win7 not so much).
I have not found any site other than the ENTIRE Yahoo site that has this problem!

I'm back! Actually, this issue has been happening to me every now & then but I'd just given up on dealing with it. But now I'm motivated again.
I clicked on a video link in Facebook that sent me to NASCAR | Facebook which turns from the https URL to those two words on this site for some odd reason, and it just popped a box telling me saying Flash Player Upgrade Required - Get Flash Player and the video's image never displayed under that and it couldn't be played.
Then once again I went thru all of the steps to insure that both I do actually have Flash Player and that it is Enabled. I do and it is. I also read somewhere to click the gear icon in IE then click Safety > ActiveX Filtering. I do that and I see a checkmark next to ActiveX Filtering. I've tried it both with a checkmark and without one and there's no difference.
I have Windows 8.1 fully updated, IE-11 and Flash Player
I see the swinging tire swing image in #5. Verify if Flash Player is installed at Flash Player Help.

Favicon does not show up on Google chrome and firefox with new muse release. Opera showing favicon ok.

Favicon does not show up on Google chrome and firefox with new muse release when exporting HTML or publishing with FTP. Opera showing favicon ok. Previews Muse release was working fine.
this website was created with one update back BK Foto
this one page was updated with latest updated Muse and after publishing with FTP through Muse favicon does not show up Paslaugų Era | Foto Video Paslaugos

Export your HTML and then Just edit index.html with any text editor look for sentence <link rel="...................................>
Then delete all this sentence and copy this one
<link href="//PATH/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon">
PATH = Where you have your favicon.ico
I usually copy the favicon.ico in the folder images so the sentence will be like this
<link href="//mydomain.com/images/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon">
i hope it helps you
Sorry about my english, my spanish is much better

Flash video not up loading correctly

I created a swf file with an attached skin sitting below the
video. When I upload it through dreamweaver the video shows up and
plays but with just a white space where the skin should be. Is
there anyone who can help me understand what is wrong. The video is
at www.whitepineproductions.ca/MaxBates2.html.
Thanks for any help

Don't know why you're starting multiple threads, but as I
said
elsewhere...
You need to upload the skin file to the same location as the
.html
file.

Why is adobe flash player not supported?

Why is adobe flash player not supported?

Because.
Apple and Adobe could never come up with an OS that liked flash and a version of flash that worked on the OS. So never the twain will meet. and now Adobe is abandoning mobile flash in favor of other things, so it's become a moot point.
With the surge in the number of mobile devices and the fact that a lot of them don't use flash, site creators will need to take mobile devices into account when they create their sites and assess their accessibility.

Flash player not always working

Cron jobs not always run

I have cron jobs which do not always run. Has anyone had this problem. These are simple executables which may run one day, but not the next. Very puzzling.

Here's in detail how/why it works this way
(and so far still the same in 10.4.4 I think):
A simple example:

Why can't Flash Video be as simple as QT?

After weeks of unsuccessfully trying to convert my
QuickTime/Windows Media-based video gallery to a working Flash
gallery, I finally gave up and returned to the
old-school-yet-tried-and-true QT/WMV.
But I'm still curious - QT & WMV are able to use a single
file (.mov or .wmv) while Flash requires the file AND a player
(Somehow my track record of getting the swf to play the flv was
sketchy). One of the perks of Flash, as I understood it, was that
the majority of browsers are able to play Flash movies. But it's
not quite as simple. Being required to upload the swf in order to
play the flv seems to be like imbedding a QT plug-in to play the
.mov. Why can't Flash Video be as simple as simply downloading the
flv just as playing a Quicktime Movie is as simple as downloading
the mov (as long as the user has the correct plug-in)?

HD flash video can't run smoothly

Operating system- Windows Vista 32bits, Intel Core Duo CPU 2.10GHz
Graphic card- ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600
Web browser- IE9
Flash player version - 11.3
Hi there,
Those HD flash videos are just laggy when played, sound and movement don't synchronize as well. Examples are 1080p videos from Adobe HD Gallery or this one http://youtu.be/SHZFsJKlsuA?hd=1 which was mentioned by a staff in previous post saying that this video has full hardware acceleration (stage video) enabled. And these flash used over 50% CPU.. Enable or disable hardware accelation in adobe flash player has no use to me. I know the hardware of my laptop are bit out of date, but these HD flash videos including aforementioned ones ran quite smoothly in my other laptop with similar hardware.
Any solution will be much appreciated,
Edmond

Have you tried running IE9 in the software rendering mode instead of the GPU rendering mode?

Using Chrome beta, fullscreen flash videos not fullscreening Chrome

└─> yinfo google-chrome-beta
Name : google-chrome-beta
Version : 24.0.1312.35-1
Some recent update seems to have done this: http://i.imgur.com/IspAE.png Hitting fullscreen on a flash video will make it fullscreen within Chrome, but Chrome stays windowed, resulting in video cut off at bottom and also, Youtube doesn't auto-720p+ when hitting fullscreen on the video as it's still registering it being in windowed mode I think.
If I hit F11 first, then fullscreen the video, it's fine, but I'd like to have it back to auto-fullscreen. (In my settings>privacy>content settings>fullscreen, I do have youtube.com allowed as an exception). Also I opted out of the HTML5 trial on Youtube, and this affects all flash whether youtube, twitch, etc. Thanks for any help!

Flash Video not appearing in PCs.. help?

Hey all,
I created a simple flash music player to put on a website. It is viewable in Safari, FireFox and Chrome on my Mac. Unfortunately, when I try viewing it in two browsers on a PC (Chrome and FireFox), it doesn't appear at all. The PC computer does have the most updated version of flash as well. Also, when I try to view the html document created from Flash on the PC computer, my flash player does not show up either.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks!

what's your url and does anything need to be done to see the problem?

My Macbook Pro has not been running correctly since "upgrading" to Yosemite

My Macbook Pro has not been running correctly since "upgrading" to Yosemite. It has been sluggish no matter what program I am using, slow to respond to mouse movements, and unable to stream video. Any word on when Apple is going to send out a real upgrade?
