Why is Google chrome installated when updating Flash?

I think users can decide for themselves which browser they prefer to use. We do not need Adobe to automatically install Google Chrome when updating Flash. While there is an option to uncheck if you install from the Website, there is no choice when updating.
We don't need this Big Brother, we know best attitude.

I NEVER use the "updater" because I already have all the software I want and need. Use the "offline" FULL installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
NOTHING in those but Flash Player.

Why ship Google Chrome with security updates to Flash Player

I do not want it, I will not install it, it wastes time downloading. Stop sending it to me.

I remember the European Competition authorities made a judgement against Microsoft for only shipping Internet Explorer with Windows. How can you only ship the Chrome option with Adobe updates, why do you not give users the option to download other browsers?

I understand. If you remember in the future, please uncheck the "opt out" checkbox before initiating the installer download. http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-4836417-253139/450-316/11-9-20 126-31-29PM.png

Google Chrome installing without my consent when I update Adobe Flash Player

To whom do I complain about Google Chrome installing without my consent when I updated Adobe Flash Player? I updated to Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X this morning. I saw no indication that Google Chrome was going to install and given that I have used GC in the past and absolutely hated it I would not have completed the Flash update. If there is an opt-out for Chrome when updating Flash it needs to be more obvious.
I was annoyed but simply uninstalled Chrome and thought that would take care of it. Not so fast! Suddenly links in Outlook emails stopped working. All tolled I spent 2 hours figuring out what the problem was, finding the solution and editing the registry to get rid of Chrome. I have moved beyond annoyed to livid. I am self-employed and did not have 2 hours of my week to devote to this.
I will never use Google Chrome. I tried it, didn't like it and I'm now I'm thoroughly done. Is there a way to permanently opt out of getting Google Chrome?
So again, to whom do I complain?

No one--if they gave a **** int he first place their software gurus woulnd't have created a download that essentially hijacks your computer and installs the google toolbar and google chrome--all without asking for consent. Too much of this crap goes on. Look at your task manager--all sorts of updates and crap running behind the scenes (google update runs constantly on my other computer till I deleted the updater.exe)-too much of it from hidden downloads like this site propgates. And to top it off, I can't edit Adopbe .pdf forms on line and save them anymore. So I found this link: http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer where you can fill all those fillable fields in your .pdf doc, and save the damned thing. Works just like Adobe used to when you could fill in fields from forms on-line and save it.

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Hi doctor.saddam,
If your MacBook Pro is shutting down unexpectedly, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem." - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Google Chrome error when screen sharing

A particpant received a Google Chrome error when trying to share his screen. The error said that his AdobeConnect Add In was incompatible with his version of Google Chrome. He followed the instructions that were provided, in an attempt to fix the error, but that didn't work.
Has anyone experienced this and found any ways to fix it successfully?

If it is not working, suggest he use a different browser.

Why does google chrome freeze and crash after installing mavericks?

I use google chrome and after installing mavericks my chrome started moving slower and slower until it eventually froze. The keyboard becomes locked and the mouse is just a pinwheel.

Try reinstalling Chrome.

Why have I lost access to Safari? I also have Google Chrome, but when I choose to use Safari, an error message comes up.

I have both Safari and Google Chrome on my MacBook Air. I have been using both until recently.
When I now click on Safari I get a message that says
404. That’s an error.
The requested URL /ig?hl=en was not found on this server. That’s all we know.
So I resort to Google Chrome. But I'd like to continue to have access to Safari. Is this a bug? Incompatibility all of a sudden? What do I need to do to have Safari functioning again?

This is what I started getting when blue search items also stopped turning violet in Google. I got a message that my browser did not support Google, or that Google did not support my browser. It said I ought to upgrade my browser which I declined to do. I use OS X 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10.
I get it every time I open Safari now.

When updating Flash it updated Firefox erasing my bookmarks, history, etc

My Firefox has been stumbling lately with Flash. I had an older version, not sure which. Pages that would not run in FF would in Chrome. I was cued to update flash. After installing new Flash (from official Adobe website), it closed my current FF browser. When I reopened it, all my bookmarks, history, toollbars were gone. Why did this happen and how do I get them back? Please tell me I can get them back! Thanks.

Flash Player (or the installer) has nothing in it to alter ANY personal settings in Firefox.
The installer places a plug-in in a pair of folders where Firefox is able to locate it (C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash).
That's all. You do need to close the browser before the plug-in can be installed, but that's because the folder can't be modified while it's in use. That doesn't have anything to do with bookmarks, history or toolbars as they're in a separate folder altogether (Users/[user]/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/[8-digit#]default).

Why wont Google Chrome open and says it wont work with this version of mac os 10

I just bought a macbook and when I went to instal Google Chrome it told me it isnt compatable with mac os 10

You should be able to update to OS X 10.6, or, if the Macbook is a late-2006 or newer one, to 10.7
You can still buy 10.6 from the Apple Store - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
OS X 10.7 should be in the Mac App Store and is only available by downloading it from the online Mac App Store, but you will need 10.6 to get the store in the first place (the Mac App Store appeared with iOS 10.6.6).

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.)
