• I need to know what version of adobe flash player should I use with firefox 38.0.5 and Win XP.

  I just installed graphics card GEFORCE 210 with a new Viewsonic 23 "screen using hdmi. I installed the latest VER of Flash Player (18) and dismissed the installation. Firefox apparently told me he wanted not later than Flash Player 10 or 11. I can not even find the free download for one or the other. Help!

  My advice is to use the Extended Support Release - Flash Player 13.0.0.296 on WinXP - it appears about 3/4 of the way to the bottom of the page that linked philipp. This version receives security updates, but not the new features that are mainly for OS Vista, Win7 and Win8.

• Adobe Flash Player is not installed in Firefox?

  Adobe Flash Player reaches 28% install and says it loses the internet connection. I try again and it immediately gives me the same message and it cancels the connection. There is nothing wrong with my internet connection! Any suggestions?

  After the download is complete and you launch the installer from Adobe, or even the small download fails?

  If the regular installer does not work, try the Installer "complete". It is available on this page:

  https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

  In the first table, find the row corresponding to "browser plugin", and you can use either the EXE or the MSI installer.

  To ensure that the old version is removed, please close the tabs that are using Flash, or quit Firefox, during the update.

• Installed Adobe Flash Player update and now get the security warning message

  On each page on that I click I get the warning following pop box IE. A website wants to open web content outside of protected mode. This program will open outside of protected mode". The Web site, whether is Adobe Flash Player.  I can't get rid of the pop up if I click on allow.  I can click on don't allow not, but for every thing I'm in, I get this pop up warning window.  I do not think that I have to click on "don't show me this message again" that I should?

  I asked this question on the Adobe forum, and while a lot of people have looked at my question, I did not get all the answers.  I also went to support at Microsoft and found this problem.  The only difference is that the problem is for Vista and I have Windows 7.  Otherwise, it's exactly the same thing.  He said to check for a fix.  I clicked the button to fix, but then he said that it was not available.  I don't understand.  First he said it was, but when I clicked it, it said that it was not.  Is it because I have Windows 7 and not Vista?

  As you can probably, I'm not the sharptest knife in the drawer when it comes to computer problems so I could sure use some help.  I also installed all updates latest IE.  That did not help.  I would like just to uninstall Adobe Flash Player but don't have many programs need?  I you could use some help here.  Thank you.

  I tried to follow your steps as carefully as I could.  I'm sorry to report that it did not work.  What I finally had to do was to make a back up and restore.  I backed up before 3 days, which was a bunch of Windows updates.  I probably lost all updates but guess what - the warning box has disappeared.

  Thank you very much for taking the time & than give me such clear instructions, step by step.  The fact that you tried is appreciated by me.

  Flash Player is a built-in component of Chrome.  There is nothing separate to install.

• All my plugins keep crashing after I tried to use them. The two most important, I really want to work are silverlight and adobe flash player, but for some reason, Firefox 9.0.1 crash them. All plugins are updated

  All plugins are updated. This has only started happening recently. Plugins seems to start for a few seconds (not more than 5) and then crash. Chances are that there is more than a problem with Silverlight and Flash, but they are the only two I use really.

  Follow the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:

  • Troubleshoot extensions, themes, and issues of hardware acceleration to resolve common problems of Firefox
  • Solve problems with plugins like Flash or Java to solve the common problems of Firefox
  • Clear the Cache and Cookies

  Check and tell if its working.

  I tried to go to the Adobe site above on my other computer which had Firefox 42.0 and it loaded the video correctly but the discounting to 43.0, the video stopped loading on my other computer as well.

  I tried to solve the problem by doing the following without success:
  1 restarted Firefox
  2. uninstalled and reinstalled Flash
  3 restart Windows
  4. in the list of plugins of Firefox to the subject: addons, I made sure that Shockwave Flash is set to "always enable".
  5 remove the cache of Firefox and restarted Firefox

  I use 10 64-bit Windows

  It seems that the problem was an add-on called 'Focus Regainer'.
  After this, Flash works now.

• I recently installed Adobe Flash Player ActiveX 11 - 11.4.402.265 and when I open my Mozilla Firefox browser I get this message flashing on my screen: '

  I recently installed Adobe Flash Player ActiveX 11 - 11.4.402.265 and when I open my Mozilla Firefox browser I get this message flashing on my screen: "Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working" and then "Windows is checking for a solution"

  It flashes several times then stops usually but not always.

  It happens every time I try to open a new page.

  I solved this problem by uninstalling Adobe Flash Player 11 and install Adobe Flash Player 10.3. However, now my IE browser again wants me to install Adobe Flash Player 11. Although I do not often use my IE browser, I DON'T have to use sometimes. Is there a Firefox 15.0 update to fix this problem?

  First of all, the Flash of the IE is totally different than the flash used in Firefox. You can update one without affecting the other.

  Now, there is a problem right now with Flash 11.3 and 11.4 in Firefox. Downgraded to 10.3 is an acceptable solution for the moment. Adobe publishes the updates (slowly) that solve the problems, but it is not a matter of time before they are all fixed.

  Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - avoid that it happen

  11.3 Flash does not load video in Firefox

• Cannot install Adobe Flash Player on Firefox

  Hello

  I already had the Adobe Flash Player version 11 on my PC. Now, I tried to update the plugin and I tried to install Adobe Flash Player 20 on my PC with Windows XP, SP2, 32-bit version, Firefox and Panda anti-virus. I disabled the antivirus and it still will not be installed.

  Initially, I got the "Connection failed" message when I tried to install downloaded Adobe Flash Player by clicking twice. Now when I go to the Adobe website and download the Flash Player version 20, nothing happens when I double click on the downloaded Adobe Flash Player.

  
  

  How can I get the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed and works on my PC to watch videos or do I have to go back to older versions of Adobe Flash Player?

  
  

  Thank you.

  I have the same problem on one of my machines and similar settings. Maybe it's because we are still in Service Pack 2 for XP. According to this site: Adobe Flash Player | Technical specification understand the system requirements for Windows XP SP3 (see 2nd point to the needs of Windows). However, this page is not dated, nor the version number specified, so I do not know if the requirement of SP3 was just to publish for Flash Player v20, or if it has been the 'official' requirement for a while now. I know that a previous version (19.0.0.226) works on my SP2 system, so you can try and install it (even if she is no longer the safer version). I almost never run flash more, except on a small handful of sites that require it (and which I used for years). I also have my settings flash on "Ask to activate" on the page of Firefox plugins, so I have to enable it explicitly whenever a site wants to run flash. Many sites want to run flash for animation of advertising, so it actually speeds things upwards when I do not allow it to run on those.

  I play with other settings on this computer to see if I can get the v20 installation program to run (if so, I will post it here), but we have just upgraded to SP3 if we want the latest version of flash. I held off upgrading the operating system for a long time on this machine, and I can finish just retire it in any case. For what it's worth, v20 FlashPlayer installed without problems on my Win7 machine.
