Youtube videos do not play in Firefox. I have this error: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video," even after I have followed the link.

This error message appears when trying to view Youtube videos: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video," even though I have already installed the suggested piece of software.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.youtube.com

You have 2 versions of "Shockwave Flash" (Adobe Flash Player) installed; one very old version (7.0 r19) and the current version (10.0 r45). You can see both "Shockwave Flash" plugins by going to Tools > Add-ons > Plugins. You can disable the old version 7 there.
<u>'''To disable the old version'''</u>:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+plugins+with+Firefox#Managing_plugins
<u>'''Remove the old plugin'''</u>
1. If the old version 7 is showing as "Adobe Flash Player 7 Plugin" in your Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, you can remove it from there; click on it, click Remove. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Uninstall-or-change-a-program
2. If the old version 7 is not shown in Add or Remove programs, see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins#Manually_uninstalling_a_plugin . Some of the old plugins are in the Plugins folder of your programs Firefox install folder and can be renamed or removed from there manually.

    PLease help
    Shane

    I have the exact same problem and I am going in circles trying to install and use Flash Player. But nothing seems to work. Now I cannot watch ANY videos on Youtube, I cannot use Google Maps (Street View), Pandora Radio is kaput, and so.
    I used to get the same notice: 
    You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. 
    But now I don't even get that. Just a black box and nothing else. This is ridiculous.

    I have upgraded Flash to 10. and rebooted uninstalled fox, reinstalled and still get the same old thing. getting a little upset
    ''[Personal information removed by moderator. Please read [[Forum and chat rules and guidelines]], thanks.]''

    This is an old thread, if you have a problem start your own thread and include as much info as possible. If you are still there ccsebball you certainly will have needed to up update FlashPlayer again. Including email addreses is not wise, the support forum tries to answer questions within the forum, and posting email addresses is only likely to attract spam.
    What version of Flash Player is installed now ? <br/>check out this webpage it will test flashplayer for you:

  • Can't Play Video "need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player"

    Ever since upgrading to FF 26 I can't play video on YouTube or many other sites.
    It says "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.
    Download it from Adobe."
    So I click on the link which takes me to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, do the install which goes without trouble.
    But afterwards I get the same message when I try to play videos.
    Running Windows 7 on a Desktop PC. Having NO problems playing videos in IE or Chrome. FF used to be great but it's becoming more trouble than it's worth.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    You can try uninstalling it completely via the control panel and then installing it back on to the computer. You can also do a plugin check if you'd like.
    Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
    Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
    If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
    To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

    You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard, but don't need to go past 10.6.8 to run the current version of Flash.

  • How to Improve Adobe Flash Player to watch this video

    When I wanted to watch Man City vs Chelsea live stream via http://footballity.blogspot.com/2013/08/man-city-live-stream-free.html , there is a message "You need to improve your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video" so anybody can help me..

    Well going by your standards then the blackberry playbook is just as useless since there is no native contacts app or email app.  If you want that you will also have to have a blackberry phone that is capable of tethering using the blackberry bridge app (if allowed by AT&amp;T and Verizon since that would be another fee technically you might be charged for since you will be tethering your phone to you tablet).
    Funny how I and many others are able to get by using the iPad and we don't have flash.  The majority of people if the want to view flash will try Skyfire, iSwifter, Cloudbrowse, or will look to see if there is an app already dedicated to that thing you want to watch, like ABC Player or CNN.
    Hey if doesn't work for you then it doesn't work for you.  I am not trying to come off as an Apple fanboy, just trying to make sure you are informed about your product and what options are out there. 
    Would it be nice if flash was allowed native......sure.  But it isn't so you can either get rid of the product, get an app that supports it (we are talking about spending $2 - $4) or go buy something else and hope your happy with it as well.  You can't please everyone.  Apple has chosen their stance and as you can see by sales numbers they aren't hurting.  Infact i just read about a week or so ago on Gizmodo.com that alot of the other tablet making companies are cutting back on the number of units they will be making due to low sales or projected low sales (you can thank the iPad sales for that).  Your one purchase isn't going to impact them that much.  Instead, someone else will be standing in line behind you ready and happy to get their apple product.

  • Why do I have to download Adobe Flash Player to watch certain videos?

    I have a new Mac Pro and when I want to watch some videos on YouTube or videos for my online class, I get the "missing plug-in" message and am directed to download Adobe Flash Player. This is frustrating because I DESPISE just about anything Adobe! It's one of the main reasons I switched from PC to a Mac. Do I have to download Adobe Flash Player? Do I have another option? Should I stop whining about it and just do it even though it is a piece of crap?

    Probably.
    I use Chrome for all my YouTube and other flash video related activities, but I am also an avid YouTube troll.

  • Adobe flash player to watch websites videos

    Adobe flash to view videos websites

    There is no compatible flash player or plugin for iOS devices, but there are some 3rd party browsers that provide for this by converting the flash video at their server to be viewed on the iPad. The 3rd party browsers that provide for this have mixed results and reviews. Check the app store.

  • I have vista OS and a game on facebook says need adobe flash player 12.0.02 or later. I have version 15 and it's not bringing it up. What could be wrong?

    I'm trying to play a game on facebook, but when I go to play it, it comes up with a message saying I need to install adobe flash player 12 or later. I installed version 15 but it still keeps getting that message to install version 12 or later. I checked in my control panel under programs installed and it shows that adobe flash player 15 active x listed. So why won't the game see it? Do I need an older version of adobe flash? Maybe version 12, if so where can I find it. I tried to find 12 but every site keeps taking me to 15.
    I have Windows Vista Home Premium OS. I have Firefox version 32.

    Hello,
    You might not have the plugin for Firefox installed. Adobe has two different versions of Flash - one for Internet Explorer and another for Firefox. Internet Explorer uses ActiveX. You can check if Firefox has the plugin by going to:
    * Tools > Add-ons > Plugins, or
    * [Image: New Fx Menu] > Add-ons > Plugins
    In Firefox, go to this link and Adobe should give you right correct installer:
    * https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    If for whatever reason it is not choosing the correct OS for you, you can manually select Windows Vista and "Other Browsers" here:
    * https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

  • Fire fox is not upgrading to Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32 (2.70 MB)

    All the web sites I use want Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32 I downloaded from Adobe and installed it. it did not install in Firefox. I was told to clear cache private data and cookie did it and it still is not installing in Firefox. I have to use IE to visit the sites that upgraded to Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32, '''I don't like IE'''

    Hi oarun,
    Yes.  There are 2 things, maybe 3 you should try.
    Go to Flash download site and DO NOT download 10.2.152.32.  Instead look the site for the hotlink that says "for other browsers" and download it. You should see 10.2.152.33 for Safari and other browsers.  Download this one.  (I don't think you have to uninstall the 10.2.152.32 Flash version but you might have to in case your browser gets confused)
    Now, try your Firefox browser and see if the videos work.
    If the videos work in Firefox, you should be good to go. 
    Remember, IE8 and the Flash Update for Windows is where the problem is at from my perspective.
    My computer runs Win XP Pro Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer 8 (IE8).  I have been running Windows since 1995 with all the updates.  You don't have to be on an Apple Operating System to load the Apple Safari browser.  I personally like Safari much better than IE8 but I am running both IE8 and Safari on my computer as we communicate.
    Let me know if this works for you.  I inserted a screen shot of the Flash download page showing where to download the Flash update for Safari and other browsers but not IE8 below:

    Message was edited by: newsguy64 I forgot to tell you.  If Firefox does not work, then go to Apple's website and download their Safari browser.  I know it works on XP!!!  I wish you success.!
    Message was edited by: newsguy64 Good grief, I goofed.  You are using Chrome, not Firefox.  Regardless, the "other browser Flash download is still the ticket, maybe.
    Message was edited by: newsguy64  OARJUN, I JUST TESTED CHROME AND IT WORKS GREAT WITH THE DOWNLOAD FROM FLASH I SUGGESTED TO YOU ABOVE.

    Hi, glad that worked for you. Also thanks for the explanation as how you came about this. Yes, from my understanding any Install of the CS5, even a trial version Installs the 10.1 (beta/prerelease) versions. It is not clear to me or others why the 10.1 was used in the CS5 instead of the latest version (10.0.45.2). My only guess is that the 10.1 is very close to being released as a shipping version (final release) to the public. The 10.1 had a target date of the first half of 2010. Perhaps that was the reasoning. This is just my opinion:-)
    As I said, many users are having this problem, not just with the CS5, but they Install the 10.1 thinking that will solve whatever problem they may be having with the latest version.
    Your thread is very helpful for other users that may be having the exact problem that you were. For this reason if you marked your thread as answered, they would read it first.
    Thanks,
