Why I have to install different adobe flash player

use two browsers, one Maxthon Browser, the other firefox. The Maxthon is used to viewing domestic webs, the latter foreign webs. I intsalled an adobe flash player. When I use Maxthon, it works well. but then I turn to Firefox, I just cannot open the flash on my jersey web, saying unavailable. Someone told me that I have to install another adobe flash player for Firefox. I did as told. and finally it works. but why I have to install different players for different browsers, how can I use just one that works both for Maxthon and Firefox or other browsers.

I'd never heard of Maxthon before, but after reviewing their site it looks like it's based on Internet Explorer.  If that's the case, IE uses ActiveX technology, while all other browsers are plug-in based.  Flash Player has two versions, one for IE (ActiveX) and another for all other browsers (Firefox, Opera, Chrome, etc.)

  • Because I have to install the Adobe Flash Player Active X or Normal?

    Hello All, Fisrs, forgive my  English because I am Spanish.
    I can think of something funny to me. I have installed the Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X and I have Explorer 8 ( 32 bits ) , Windows Vista home Premium and every day asking me to install the Flash Player.
    Happens if install the same to Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.5, in the same version yo have.
    I see that every day, if I look at the progras I have istalled , see this Adobe Flas Player ( active X or normal ) with a blanc icon, not the typical figure of the program.
    Not to do so the program gets installed forever. When yo reinstall it and the icon's own sotware.
    I really apreciate it that I help them see than hapening and how I can solve. Thank you very match.
    Grettings.
    Imma

    Hello and thank you
    I am attaching a photo of what I have in the Flash folder you indicate, as a photo:
    If it not attached the link see large:http://imageshack.us/f/840/sinflashejecutat.jpg/
    And then run the Flash every day . Which I can only do so by accessing or a websit that you ask me, give OK when it asks me to activate the Active X and contiunue the process because if not, would have to install it each time since the Adobe web site.
    You run the Flash Player 10 Active X , this would be the Flash folder you see in the picture below:

  • Installing the adobe flash player

    I have not installed the adobe flash player because it says I might have to disable my virus safety net during the download process.  I do not want to put my computer at risk for a virus at any time.  How can I access the flash player without having to disable my virus safety net?

    Depending what antivirus software you use, you may not need to do that.  Some very aggressive AV may prevent Flash Player from being installed; most however do not.
    Tell us more about your OS and AV, and someone will tell you what to do.

  • Why am I having trouble running Adobe Flash Player 11 on my 2011 Macbook Air? I've downloaded and installed it repeatedly; yet when I try to open certain images online or play certain Youtube segments, I get the message, "You must have Adobe Flash 11..."

    Why am I having trouble running Adobe Flash Player 11 on my 2011 Macbook Air? I've downloaded and installed it repeatedly; yet when I try to open certain images online or play certain Youtube segments, I get the message, "You must have Adobe Flash 11..."  My computer tells me it is installed and running.

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
    1. If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    2. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    3. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    4. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    5. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    6. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    7. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

    When you install an application, you have to type your user password, which is different than your Apple ID password. You set your user password when you got your computer.

  • Even when i have updated version of adobe flash player, some sites do not play video

    Hi,
    Even when i have updated version of adobe flash player and active x from adobe.com, some sites do not play the video. A request box, install the plug in comes. When i click it, it again tries to install the same version of adobe, which i have already downloaded. it is only for some sites.
    May be it is because, it is site problem? How to overcome it

    ActiveX is part of the Windows operating system. Plus the ActiveX version of Adobe Flash is for Internet Explorer. Other browsers need their own version of Flash' Firefox needs the Plugin version of Flash.
    If you go to the Adobe website to download Flash while using Firefox, Adobe will provide the correct version of Flash automatically. Just make sure you de-select any other programs that Adobe may want to stick you with before you actually download Flash. Then close Firefox and run the Adobe Flash installer.

    I have a problem with adobe flash player.
    It is install but not running

    Try a fresh install of Flash after completely uninstalling it using the application Adobe Flash Player Install Manager, in the Utilities folder. Then re-download and install from ww.adobe.com
    If you are still having problems you could try installing Google Chrome as it has its own version of Flash built-in and doesn't require the separate installation of Flash.

  • What does Apple have that compares to Adobe flash player ?

    What does Apple have that compares to Adobe Flash Player, I keep getting Blocked plugged message and it tells me to download Adobe Flash Player and when I do nothing happens.  Also when I purchased my iMac it came with Leopard osx system, last year I installed the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 system and since then cannot read CD's or DVD's from PC or my husbands new iMac with Mountain Lion system.

    There is no equivalent to Adobe's Flash Player. You either have it installed or not. For the reasons outlined below, Apple no longer sell Macs with Flash Player pre-installed, you have to obtain it from Adobe.
    Flash - Apple's official position:
    http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/
    Flash v. HTML5
    http://www.streaminglearningcenter.com/articles/flash-player-cpu-hog-or-hot-tama le-it-depends-.html
    Apple may have more reasons behind not installing Flash by default other than the stated reason of ensuring that users always have the most up-to-date version. Having Flash installed can cut battery runtime considerably—as much as 33 percent in our testing. With a handful of websites loaded in Safari, Flash-based ads kept the CPU running far more than seemed necessary, and the best time I recorded with Flash installed was just 4 hours. After deleting Flash, however, the MacBook Air ran for 6:02—with the exact same set of websites reloaded in Safari, and with static ads replacing the CPU-sucking Flash versions.

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
