Why does Adobe Flash Player 11.9 keep installing over and over on Windows Internet Explorer?

I am having a problem with Adobe Flash Player 11.9. When I visit a site that uses Adobe Flash Player (i.e. NBC News.com) the system keeps asking me to install Adobe Flash Player 11.9. However, Adobe Flash Player 11.9 is ALREADY installed on my system and is working fine. Each time I try to re-install Adobe Flash Player, it doesn't do anything except go through the installation process. Tell me how to stop the notifications.

You've probably got cached files that keep sending outdated info to pages you visit.
Download this file: Deep Clean.zip
Close IE. Check your task manager to be sure the iexplore.exe process is terminated.
Unzip the file.
Double click the deepclean_set.bat file.
A command prompt window will open and your Disk Cleanup settings manager will open too.
Check EVERY box in the list and click OK.
Then double click the deepclean_run.bat file.
Again, a comman prompt window will open, and your Disk Cleanup will run, clearing many more files than the standard cleanup does. It WILL take a while to cleanup.
When it finishes, you can delete the deepclean_set.bat file as you won't need it again, but keep the deepclean_run.bat as it can be used to "deep clean" your disk whenever you need it. Save it in your documents folder.
Afterward, open IE again and go back to NBC. You shouldn't see any prompt to upgrade anymore.

Why does Adobe Flash Player block me from using Firefox?

Every time I try to use Firefox, Adobe Flash Player blocks me from doing so.
I get continual messages that keep reappearing: """""""Adobe Flash Player 11.5 r502 has stopped working.
A problem occurred to make the program stop working correctly. Windows has closed... etc. """""""
This message just keeps re-appearing, and I can't do anything else by close out of it........
and then switch to another browser. I CAN'T USE FIREFOX.
I went in and downloaded the new version, just to make sure it wasn't being blocked by an old version,
but that didn't matter at all. It still blocks me out.
HELP!!!!!!! How do I stop this?

I'm sorry you're going through this. I suspect you're running into a conflict with our Protected Mode which was introduced in Flash Player 11.4. Please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue. If it does, please re-enable it and give our latest Flash Player 11.6 beta a shot. You can download it here:

Why does Adobe Flash player crash so much?

This is not the first version of FireFox that Adobe Flash player crashes on. It happens 2, sometimes 3 times a day, my browser locks up for 45 seconds or so then I see the "Adobe Flash Player has crashed" yet again.
I've read the forums, tried suggestions but it continues to crash.
I want to keep using Firefox, but I'll have to switch to chrome and just use firefox for the better firebug.
I'm sure this is adobes issue and not firefox, but there's not much I can do.

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

Why does adobe flash player want to download on every website I try to go to?

After signingin to my website, and trying to go to another thru a visual tag, I get a message from adobe to doenload the flash player. Isn't once enough?? Can't the programmers send a tag to see if it has already downloaded the flash player??
I'm just an old fart, but they should get their heads out of the sand and put a tag into the add on tag to see if the flash player has already been downloaded. If so, continue with the site downlosd.
This crap just makes it harder to access websites.

That would be 11.
There are Windows 8 troubleshooting tips here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.h tml
But the problem is more likely IE11 itself. Aside from Vista, it's just about the worst garbage Microsoft has unleashed on the computing public, ever. They intentionally altered the "User-Agent Strings", which websites use to identify the browser and provide the proper content for it. Some sites ID it as a Gecko browser (Firefox), while others ID it as a Webkit browser (Opera or Safari). Problem is... when the site ID's it as either of those, the browser specific content supplied REQUIRES the correct browser engine... which IE doesn't have and never will. So, it then becomes an "unrecognized browser". The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon. In fact, since they though this was a great idea, I seriously doubt they'll change it at all.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using a different browser. Trouble with that is... it's seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
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.

Why does the Flash player update push me to install McAfee Security Scan Plus?

When Flash asks me if I want to update, it takes me to an Adobe page to update it, but there is a checkbox already checked to install McAfee Security Scan Plus. I already have an anti-virus program installed. Why does the flash update page assume that I want to install this software?

Generally this occurs because there's a third-party plug-in that affects how the JavaScript on the page got executed. Ghostery, AdBlock Pro and NoScript are common candidates.
Under normal operating conditions, you should see an opt-out dialog like the one below. While cost-recovery measure are a reality for a product that is tremendously expensive to develop and distribute free of charge, the intent is absolutely to allow you to opt out.
If you want to avoid the download and installation experience for Flash altogether, switch to a browser that includes Flash Player as a built-in component, like Google Chrome or Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher.

Why will adobe flash player not work on my mac?

Hi, I just got my mac back from the apple store and sadly I lost all my data so its a 'new mac' and i had to set it up from scratch etc.
I am unable to watch videos on youtube and other sites that need Java or Adobe flash player EVEN THOUGH I have downloaded and uninstalled several times and each time it doesnt work. Ive checked in safari prefferences that 'enable java-script' and 'enable plug-ins' is on but it still will not work!
Ive been on system prefferences and checked the java and adobe application prefferences to see if i can add the websites oor something but it will not work.
my mac is deffinetly up to date to the latest version, i have checked several times and i have made sure that it is the correct adobe flash player most recently updated etc, but it will still not work! ive been researching for a couple of days now and cant find anything that works.
Someone Please Help!!!!!
This is a screen shot of what is happening with the adobe flash player:
'clicking on manage website settings'

I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

"If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
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, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

I can't play my games on Facebook.Adobe Flash player plugin Crashed keeps coming up.I have updated adobe,did not help.

I cant play my games (FarmVille FrontierVille) On Facebook,Adobe Flash player plugin crashed keeps coming up.I have updated to the newest file.No good.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://Facebook.com

I am having this same problem. Before the updates, the Adobe Flash player NEVER crashed in Firefox (it did in Google Chrome all the time) and now it's crashing in all my favorite games....Farmville, Frontierville, Yoville, and Treasure Isle. It doesn't seem to be effecting the less-detailed Zynga games, such as Mafia Wars or Vampire Wars; and I can go into more detailed games that aren't Zynga and they seem to work fine too. I am not 100% sure what exactly the problem is, or who is causing it because I had a Firefox update, and then an Adobe update to the 10.1 beta. So I'm not sure if it's one or the other, or both of them put together.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled the flash player so many times my mind is numb, and even tried to find the one I had prior to this new 10.1 and nothing has worked. I even did what that link Chris posted to do, and I thought it had worked at first...I actually got to go into my Farmville and Treasure Isle for a little bit, then it turned around and crashed again.
This is literally driving me crazy trying to figure it all out.....and it upsets me that everything was fine one day, then after some updates, everything is messed up. And it's just my luck that it effected some of the games I like to play the most.
