Why does flash player immediately stop working when i open my browser?

Hello,
I tell you i really hope someone can help me, because im seriously getting fed up. Im running on Windows 8 OS and using an updated version of firefox with flash player version 11.8. Recently i had to replace my harddrive for my laptop and ever since relplaceing and even a little before i have been haveing major problems while playing video in firefox. Upon loading firefox, flash player stops working and immediately gives an error message, slowing the loading process considerably. Furthermore, while watching live video feeds, the video freezes constantly and even knocks me off my internet connection to where i have to run a troubleshooter to get back online. I have tried everything and still cannot fix this issue. Please help me. If you have any idea at all please reply here or you can even contact me by email: [email protected] Im desperate because i use this laptop to watch video of my classes. Thank you.

My WIn7 machine did this all the time on YouTube. I uninstalled BOTH Flash Player and Shockwave. Then I reinstalled Shockwave first, followed by Flash Player. I haven't seen a crash since.

Any suggestions as to why my Flash Player has stopped working?

I have an HP notebook with Windows 7 and I use IE 10 as my browser. I have recently noticed that some types of video won't play so I downloaded the newest Flash Player. I can see the animation on the "Flash Player Help" page but I still cannot see the animations on other sites, e.g. speedtest.net. It says that I need Flash Player to view. I have made sure that ActiveX Filtering is off in Safety and that Shockwave Flash Object is enabled in Add-Ons. I have also set all of my internet options to default and cleared all history, cookies, temporary files, etc. The Flash Player Help page says that I have version 11.8.800.174 beta so I'm wondering if this beta version is having issues? Any help would be appreciated as I am tired of seeing black boxes on websites where videos should be (I do have audio). As a side note when trying to download Flash Player again, thinking maybe there were errors, the progress bar reaches 50% then says to close Explorer. When I close Explorer and hit the retry button it still thinks Explorer is open and refuses to complete download....

I checked the drivers for both the Intel and Radeon cards, I went to task manager and stopped IE, I hit retry on the Flash Player Install. It completed install and said successful but yet I still am unable to view speedtest.net or find Flash Player anywhere on my computer. I am so frustrated. Does anyone have any more ideas?
Edit: I don't know why I didn't try earlier but apparently if I use Chrome as my browser Flash Player works just fine. I just can't use it with IE even though all my internet settings were set back to default. Does anyone know how to make them compatible again?

Why does photoshop cc 2014 stop working when extracting 3D

I recently acquired photoshop cc 2014 and would like to use 3D. When I try to extrude a file, my photoshop stops working. I have an AMD Radeon HD 8400 graphics card.

Hello Mylenium,
Thank you for the reply, how would I go about providing detailed system info? Is there an automated method that displays the necessary information? Also, it might be worth noting that my older version of Photoshop (CC x64bit (NOT 2014)) works completely fine.

Bjørnarj6963233 I would recommend utilizing the steps listed in Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application to reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application. Also which operating system are you using?

Why does Flash install completion close tabs when re-opening Safari?

Here is a link to the last time this was brought to the attention of the Adobe team on 9/11/2014: Safari Browser Tab Cleared After Flash Installation
Is this something that will be fixed soon or does Adobe just not care? It can be very time consuming to track down tabs that were left open for various reasons. Please fix this and have Safari re-open with tabs that were open before a Flash player update.

It's something that we're aware of, but it's not trivial to solve. It's definitely on our radar, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Why does my iRadio Station stop working when I move the slider?

I have chosen to create a station using the station Lindsey Stirling Radio that pops up when you type her name. This station will play if I simpy create it and play it. When i click on the little "i" in the circle at the top of the station I get the page that allows you to "Tune This Station". If I move the slider from "Hits" to "Variety" or "Discovery" the station no longer plays music. The album picture appears as a station but nothing happens when i tap it. Anyone have an idea why this would occur?

When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one. I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows. I don't know anything else.

This means you don't have the latest version installed. Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Why does the plug in stop working sometimes

Why does the plug in stop working sometimes?

Is your pc. laptop, whatever Windows -ana what version, like Windows Vista, or Windows 10.
What bit is it? 32 or 64?
You can get that info by right clicking on "My Computer" Uusually on the desktop) and selecting Properties in the drop down menu.
And what version of Fire Fox are you using?
And which plugin are you using, and is it for Flash Player?
This info will help someone to answer your question.

All of a Sudden, My Flash Player Has Stopped Working

Early Friday afternoon (just yesterday), my Flash Player was working fine. I am using Mozilla's Firefox on a Windows 7 computer (Dell Inspiron 530S). Then, inexplicably, it failed. Several websites reported that something couldn't be displayed because I didn't have Adobe's Flash Player installed. Gotta tell you, I wasn't making any changes to the operating system nor to the browser. In fact, I wasn't changing ANY of my settings on ANY computer. Then Friday evening, Flash Player simply stopped working.
I UN-installed the existing program, re-booted, then RE-installed Flash Player and, again, there is no message saying INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY. Could any of these be a delayed result of the the latest version of Firefox, which was released on 9/30/2011, about a week ago?
Now, I can't even install the Acrobat after uninstalling IT.
Any ideas?
Dan

I found the answer and it's dead easy.
From IE go to the Tools menu and deselect ActiveX Filtering.
That's it!
If this works for you, please spread the word! I spent hours loading older versions of Flash, configuring Pop-Up Blocker, and generally tearing my hair out.
How would that possibly help resolving the o/p's problem with Firefox...?
Also, why did you spend hours when your solution is right here in the FAQ on top of the forum http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968

Flash Player has stopped working...over and over again!

I get this message whenever I try and watch a video, same message for any page that uses flash, same message no matter which browser I'm using. This problem began with version 10, and I was using older versions of Flash Player until the other day when it would no longer work due to security issues--the message was that the older version of flash would no longer work...I needed to update the player. So, I did, and we're back to the same problem of Flash Player has stopped working message popping up over and over again. It doesn't seem to be the browsers since I get the same message in all of them. Possibly it is the hardware acceleration, but the two pathways to disabling hardware acceleration don't work. When I try to see the current version (so I can right click and get to settings), the version won't show. The other strategy, right cliking on the video, also won't work because the video won't show after Flash Player has stopped working. My graphics card is a Radeon x1950, and I'm running 32 bit Vista Home Premium. There is a ton of information on line about dealing with a balky flash player, but nothing that seems to address this problem. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. RAS
PS, sorry, I wasn't paying attention and first posted this in "installing flash player."
One more thing....when I go to Flash Player Find Version page, the video does not show up, nor does the version....two big blank spaces. But Flash Player is installed.

I replied over on your other post.
What browser are you using that is giving you the blank spaces on the versions page?

I get the error "adobe flash player has stopped working...
