Why doesn't Adobe Flash Player 11 work with Firefox 7

Firefox 7.0.1 does not recognize that Adobe Flash 11 is installed. it works with Safari, not Firefox

Matt,
You have to run Firefox in 32-bit mode in order for it to run Adobe Flash Player 11 on Firefox 7.0.1 on Snow Leopard.
Mac: Get Info (Command+I) on Firefox icon and click box run in 32-bit mode. I think its shoddy Mozzilla support and really lame that they didn't post this.

  • WHY is it that you cannot fix (completely so you never have to come back to it again) how adobe flash player works with windows 8.1?

    Hi,
    I would like to start a discussion on how one of the "leading" software companies in the WORLD cannot provide a better way for their software (which I assume they want everyone to use) to be used in conjunction with windows 8.1.   ADOBE no longer provides support for those who don't pay to be here, they don't have a reasonably intelligent way to fix problems for non computer minded people, they want you to go through and change this setting or that (ya, I've seen the page and done the crap they tell you to do to fix the flash player so it works and... it works... for a little while then you wind up with a fkn green screen after another day or two... this is complete BS you shouldn't have to unfk things so they work every few days... you shouldn't have to deal with crap like this... I AM GOING TO USE VLC PLAYER OR SOMETHING ELSE TO TAKE CARE OF MY VIDEO PLAYER NEEDS IN MY DIFFERENT BROWSERS FROM NOW ON... YOU GUYS SUCK, YOU HAVE NO SUCH THING AS SUPPORT ANYMORE AND YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY MOVING BACK INSTEAD OF FORWARD IN THE INNOVATION DEPARTMENT!!!!)
    1.  this should be simple, install the software, install an update if the software is installed and up to date it should work... don't make me fiddle with all the extra bs, your the software developer why cant' you do that????
    2.  you tried to make it easier by making it so flash player is imbedded in my browser, congratulations you made it screwed up... think of it this way, now I have to get rid of your software to have something malleable I can deal with... your software doesn't work half the time, i'm sick and tired of dealing with it... i'm not going to deal with it anymore, I have changed the settings as directed on your help page and it worked.... for a freakin DAY, then I get green screens when I try to use it the very next day... so... I undo the changes I made the previous day... and redo the changes AGAIN and it works AGAIN.... FOR A FKN DAY!!!  WTFO!!!! this is complete and total bs, your idea to make things simpler made things more complicated, more labor intensive, and more of a pain in the azz for the rest of the world... SO I am going to find a way to not have to deal with ADOBE anymore!!! screw you adobe, screw your software, screw your lack of support.  you have nothing to offer me that I cannot get elsewhere with less drama, I hope your business crashes like your software... have a nice day!

    One of my programs needed Flash Player and downloaded it for me!  So, Problem solved.  Thanks to all who are reading this.  I would delete it if I could. 

  • Why doesn't Adobe Flash Player show videos in one profile, but works kay in another?

    Have two users in Windows Vista SP2 - one is set as administrator one as just a user. When logged in as Administrator- PW protected (or-if I open FF 9 to run as administrator ) [Flash Player 11.1.102.55 installed ] videos work fine. When logged in as Standard Uuser, videos do not play.
    2 sites in particular are:
    http://animal.discovery.com/videos/puppy-bowl-viii-highlights/
    http://online.wsj.com/home-page
    However, sites such as YouTube eg. and http://www.cbs.com/shows/the_young_and_the_restless/video/$?play=true&pid=PWVXLODc2ZkjG56Q4UQX5yvBZ4VcDz7x
    work fine in both situations.
    Is this a site problem, setup problem, or user profie difference problem?

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Why doesn't my flash player work?

    I installed the Flash Player from Adobe, the message said it was successful. When it went to the Adobe page, it went black. I checked the control panel and it showed it as installed. When I tried it on Jib Jab, I could not see the video. It works on Google Chrome but not on Internet Explorer. I upgraded to IE 10 and that did not help either. I checked Norton and shut off the Antivirus, then did the Adobe debugging, and tried several times. Nothing seems to work. It seems like it installs but does not initiate.

    Did you copy and paste that from your response in '08? Or maybe it was '07?
    I wonder if I could apply this to other technologies...
    Radio after tv invention:
    The drop in Radio only programs, and increase in TV shows in such a short period of time has been staggering. As other programs move on without Radio, since it's signal band is no longer being updated, it will become something akin to the telegraph...if it hasn't already.
    Boats after car invention:
    The drop in Boat only shipping, and increase in shipping methods that are vehicle friendly in such a short period of time has been staggering. As other companies move on without boats, since they are no longer building new channels, it will become something akin to the horse and buggy...if it hasn't already.
    etc etc...
    See you in 6 more years.

  • I've had a problem installing Adobe Flash Player; also with Firefox. Tried to download a new FF; it goes crazy! keeps repeating an opening page! Now I don't have FF installed, or Flashplayer, and I think these problems are connected. Help!

    Mac OSX 10.5.8 system. Problems have been ongoing with the Firefox I had installed a while ago: would open browser in Safari, and FF would take over; keep asking me to personalize my browser program. In truth, Firefox was kind of "taking over", and I wasn't happy with it. Usually open the internet in Safari.
    Present problems started with trying to download, install and open a few new games. Kept telling me I needed to install Adobe Flashplayer. I could download it, but it wouldn't install. Downloaded both the Flashplayer installer AND the Flashplayer uninstaller a number of times. Today, I decided to get rid of the Firefox on my hard drive and download a newer version - then try again to download Flashplayer and install. The new FF download just kept opening a new browser page.

    What is your current Flash Player version: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html ?

  • Why doesn't the virtual keyboard work with firefox on my dell venue 8 pro windows 8.1 tablet?

    When I try to enter text in any text-entry box, i.e, in the url , search, or on a website, the virtual keyboard doesn't activate. I have to manually activate and deactivate it. It works for Google Chrome, but sadly not for firefox, my preferred browser. The tablet is up-to-date with the latest drivers and updates.

    Thanks for the reply. No, it's the virtual keyboard that is integrated into window 8.1. I haven't installed any 3rd party keyboards

  • I download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works

    i download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works. i haven"t tried much, but only because i have no idea what to do.

    After you've installed Flash Player (you have to mount the disk image by double-clicking and the double-click the insatller package) restart your browser and go to youTube, for example, -> http://www.youtube.com/ - and see if the videos play.

  • Why does not Adobe flash player for iPad ,This is a very big problem

    Why does not Adobe flash player for iPad ,This is a very big problem ,I do not know why Apple is so Popular

    but Adobe is, in fact, continuing to update Flash for Android.
    Only essential bug and security fixes. No new feature updates have been released for 2 years.
    Of course we have those who wish fervently that the lack of Flash supprt will damage Apple severely and obsess about it all the time.
    I thought they'd realised it was a lost cause ages ago... they mostly seem to have disappeared from this forum, at least...

    Why doesn't my iWeb page work with google chrome?

    Bonjour
    Don't test your website with Google Chrome if you publish it into a local  folder.
    Publish to a server. You need an URL with http:// and ( not file://) to view an iWeb site in Chrome.
    You can also
    activate the web sharing on your computer (Preferences system > Sharing > Check web sharing)
    publish to Sites folder (MacIntosh HD > Users > Home folder >Sites)
    and use the URL (with http) given by the web sharing tab in preferences system http://computer_name.home/~user_name/site_name/
