Why doesn't the Adobe Flash Player plugin show in Firefox's "Plugins" window under Mavericks 10.9.3?

My specs are:
Mavericks 10.9.4
Firefox 30.0
Flash Player Plugin 14.0.0.125
The plugin is visually verified to be properly installed in the "Internet Plug-Ins" folder in the main library, and not the user library.

Hello all,
My doubt was correct. It was all due to the blank device list. After lot of struggle I found this solution worked for me:
1. As soon as the plug-in tries to access webcam, it will show you "Adobe Flash Player Settings" box
2. Click Deny then Close to close it
3. Now press tab key on keyboard. It will highlight (in yellow) and show list of devices in video device dropdown control (This could be little bit tricky and you need to put little bit more efforts to see the list). You can now select your webcam as device here.
4. Press Tab key again to go audio dropdown and select audio device.
5. Then right click and bring up "Adobe Flash Player Settings" again.
6. Under Microphone and Camera tabs, make sure we select same devices we selected in 3 & 4 above
7. Come back to privacy tab and this time chose "Allow" and then close "Adobe Flash Player Settings" box
8. You should now see the camera images in the plug-in
Conclusion: This is a workaround worked for me. Plug-in is quite unstable and there is definitely something here Adobe Flash Player plug-in developers need to do about.
Hope this workaround helps many other users.
Thanks,
Struggler

    After downloading, you need to run the installer.
    Could you please visit this site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If Flash Player is installed in your machine, it will give you the version number.

  • Why doesn't the new flash player I downloaded work? Tried it several times. Firefox 6.0.2.

    Every time I've tried to watch a youtube video in the past week it asks me to update my adobe flash player. I've tried at least 5 times over the course of several days and now I'm convinced that it isn't me. Apparently, you can't get tech support from adobe without spending money and if you ask me that sounds like a scam.
    Every time I download it I've followed the instructions perfectly. I'm using Firefox 6.0.2. After downloading it and closing my browser like it asks, I click "retry" then "finish" and it opens up a new firefox window that says I'm running the new adobe flash player. I'll try to watch a video and it doesn't work. It seems like a frivolous thing to spend this much time fixing but I want to watch the OU/FSU game online next week and I'm afraid this issue won't be sorted out in time

    I was having the same issue with installing Flash player 10.3.183.10 in both Firefox 6.0.2 and Explorer 9 -- the Task Manager would show the installer running as a process, but it would never actually install anything. It would just sit there until I killed it or rebooted.
    It seems that there are multiple versions of the separate installers needed. The installer that worked for me in Firefox was
    install_flash_player_10.exe -- a 3,017KB file
    and for Explorer, it was:
    install_flash_player_10_active_x.exe -- a 3,054KB file.
    Neither of those files was sent by the main updater page, nor did that page offer the 239KB uninstall_flash_player.exe, which is needed to uninstall the previous Flash version before one can even begin to try to update it. I had to pound through the messages in the forums to find links to those "full" installers.
    It is working now in both browsers, but jeepers creepers, it shouldn't take all day to find the installers for something that gets updated as often as Flash does.

  • Why doesn't the new flash player work ? im with internet explorer

    im with internet explorer and i have downloaded the new installation of the flash player, i try to watch video's on youtube, game's, and other things.
    it just tells me to get the new flash player, i dont know why this is, can you please help me out ?

    Which version of Windows have you got? XP, Vista or 7? And is it 32-bit or 64-bit?
    If you have either Vista or 7, are you using IE9, or IE8? If it's IE9, please see this doc: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448

  • Why does the Adobe Flash Player pop up keep on appearing when using the browser. It never used to before the upgrade to the latest version.

    Since updating to the latest version of Firefox the Adobe Flash player pop up continually pops up whether the page needs flash player or not. It even shows for a text page.
    It is very annoying

    You can set the default in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" and change that for the Shockwave Flash plugin to "Always Activate".
    You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
    *Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
    *Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
    *Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab

  • Problem with the adobe flash player, its falling down, what to do?

    Its always falling down almost immediately when i hear music. I have tried to update Adobe Flash player and so on. But it still not working, its strange but i have been thinking if Mozilla doesn't ''allow'' the adobe flash player. Do I need maybe change Firefox to something else??

    Is it only the sound or do you have other problems with Flash as well?
    See [[No sound in Firefox]] and [[Video or audio does not play]]
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.
    You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.
    You can also try to uninstall and reinstall Flash.

  • How do I get the Adobe Flash Player 10 to Work (Windows XP SP3)?

    I am a Premiere Elements user who occasionally exports the Timeline to Adobe Flash Video (.flv). And, occasionally I convert the .flv export to .swf with a free .flv to .swf converter. An installed Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 successfully plays back the .swf, and an installed Adobe Media Player 1.7 successfully plays back the .flv.
    Right or wrong I got the idea that the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 was really a very old version of what is now the Adobe Flash Player. So, I decided it was time to update the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 to Adobe Flash Player 10. At this point, I have the following installed on my Windows XP SP3 computer via Adobe downloads:
    Adobe Flash player 10 Active X
    Adobe Flash player 10
    Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5
    The Adobe web site verification tells me that as well as the computer Control Panel Add/Remove program list.
    But, no matter what I do, .flv insists on opening only with the Adobe Media Player 1.7 and the .swf only with the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0.
    I have tried
    a. browsing to another Open With choice
    b. changing file association in folder options as well as a few uninstalls/reinstalls and have been unsuccessful in these attempts. At one point I thought that maybe uninstalling the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 would be an approach, but I cannot find it to uninstall it. I have looked in Program Files, Documents and Settings/Application Data, Local Drive/Windows/System32, tried the computer Search...all with no luck. My browsers are Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 2.0.0.20. The default browser is Firefox and all the appropriate "allows" are in place.
    If anyone could point out the errors of my ways, I would appreciate it.
    ATR

    I have resolved the issues presented without having to find and uninstall the Macromedia Flash Player 8.0 in order to get "Adobe Flash Player 10" playback of .swf files on my computer. When I begin this task, I expected to download an "Adobe Flash Player 10" as a player program download instead of the Internet Explorer and Firefox plugin that it appears to be.
    This is what I did and what I believe I have:
    1. I setup Internet Explorer 6 as my default browser and then used the following site to download Adobe Flash Player 10
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
    2. As I had done before (and also suggested in another thread here), I went to Tools/Manage Add Ons and found Shockwave Flash Object, highlighted it, and clicked on Update Active X. Next, what I did not do before, I restarted the computer immediately after that.
    3. Next, I set Mozilla Firefox as my default browser and then used the above site to download Adobe Flash Player 10 again.
    4. With Firefox, the critical step included Firefox Tools/Options/Content with File Types (Configure how Firefox handles certain types of files) and the Manage Tab there. SWF Shockware Flash Object/Change Action/and dotting "use this plugin" - Shockwave Flash, followed by a computer restart got the job done.
    Now, if I want playback of a .swf file, I can
    a. Open With Internet Explorer (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
    b. Open With Mozilla Firefox (assumed with the Adobe Flash 10 "plugin")
    c. Open With Macromedia Flash Player 8.0
    I am satisfied with those results for my use. Any additional comments on the player vs plugin aspect of the matter would be interesting and helpful.

    After clicking Safari prompt box to "Download Flash..." , I'm linked to the Adobe Flash Player Download page. I click the "Download Now". The page advance to next page in the download process but then immediately goes black and nothing happens. System preferences firewall is off and apps are allowed from anywhere and in Safari other plug ins are allowed and cookies are not blocked and pop up windows are not blocked. Why won't Flash Player download?

    Don't DL Flash from web sites. If you have Adobe Flash installed it should be in System Preferences and you can find the latest version and download from there.
    If you are installing for the first time,this is where to DL it.

  • Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash

    hi all and adobe forum team
    im download felx bulder 3 and make a new flex project ....
    its ok
    but when i want to run my project i take empty page with the
    error code " Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This
    content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash "
    that error mean i havent flash player on my pc
    but i have because it will installed by default with adobe
    flex builder, and flash cs3 on my pc, and im installed it from
    adobe web site, and im installed it from cd
    but without any result, i have same the error when i want to
    run my flext project
    i take "Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This
    content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash "
    plz help me why
    note: im using windows vista ulimate

    I had the same problem.
    After I've installed new flash player version 9.0.60.120.
    I've got the same error.
    I'm using Korean windows. Maybe that's the problem. I don't
    know yet.
    I will test on English machine tomorrow.
    Anyway,
    Problem is caused by version detaction javascript.
    In AC_OETags.js file, there is ControlVersion() function.
    Inside of that function,
    axo = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.7");
    this line throw error with catching but do nothing.
    So, overall javascript recognize flash player as version 2.0
    and something.
    I testd this on firefox 2.0.0.4 and IE 7.0.5730.11.
    There are all Korean version and failed.
    But Safri beta version for Window works fine.
    This does not have any Korean version yet. That's why I
    assume maybe
    that's causing the problem.
    So, I guess Adobe people will do something for this, but if
    you want to
    run it right now without this error message.
    Easiest way is just turn off that Flash player version
    detection in
    project properties > Flex Complier > HTML wrapper.
    Uncheck Require Flash player version.
    Or edit your Javascript by yourself in
    html-template>AC_OETags.js.
    like below;
    axo = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash");
    I hope this will be solved quickly.
    Dongwook, Kwon.

  • Please fix the adobe flash player intergrity check error as soon as possible..

    Earlier I did not have this problem but now when I download the adobe flash player , the adobe download manager says at 100% that the flash player did not pass the intergrity check. I tryed every possible solution but nothing is working , it seems there is something wrong with the web page that offers the flash player download.
    this is how it happens
    adobe DLM starts downloading the flash player
    stucks at 2.2%
    reconnects & starts downloading
    stucks at 4.7%
    reconnects & starts downloading
    then at 100% an message appears saying that the flash player did not pass the intergrity check..
    if I resume the download process it goes on & repeats the same thing
    or if I stop the download process then it stops but the flash player completion movie appears saying that I have install flash player version 8 ! ( pretty weird )
    I hope adobe will take immediate action for this.
    Thank you.

    Thanks it worked ! , but I need to know why I cant download it using adobe DLM as usual ?  because this wasn't a problem earlier about 3 weeks ago
    this happened after re-installing the operative system ( but I have installed the flash player using DLM many times after re-installing the OS , therefore this was not a problem )
    my OS is windows XP service pack 2
    web browser - internet explorer 6
    additional information -
    I installed the flash player using DLM for mozila firefox in the normal way & it worked perfectly , no errors at all.  it seems this problem arises only for internet explorer. I even tryed the installation after upgrading IE 6 to IE 8 , but the problem is still there
    anyway thank you very much for the alternative download link.

  • In Firefox, I can NEVER do the Adobe Flash Player 11 Update

    Question
    In Firefox, every time the Adobe Flash Player Update box shows up, I click on it, it scrolls right as it downloads, then I am asked to read the license, which take me to a page of a thousand license agreements. I choose the Flash Player 11 license, it opens in Arabic, and even if I was able to read the license agreement there is NOWHERE on the read license agreement page to then start the update. How can I possibly achieve the update when Adobe does not follow standard practices and make it as easy as all other companies. Is the update just a scam to get me to pay Adobe the $29 to $39 fee so that they can tell me how to do the update that they on purpose made it impossible to do without paying them a fee to tell me how? I have not been able to do the update for over 3 years since I bought my new Apple iMac. Do I really need the update? Obviously I have done without it for 3 years!

    Note that FlashPlayer works with both Internet Explorer and other browsers such as Firefox, the plugins required though are different. If you use '''I'''nternet '''E'''xplorer and Firefox you have to install both types of plugin, you possibly have so far only installed the type used by IE.
    * see [[how do I install the flash plugin?]]
    You should be using Firefox 7.0.1, Firefox 6 is no longer supported or secure.
