ADOBE FLASH - update error.

I am running Win7Pro, Firefox 38.0.5 and Adobe Flash 18 NPAPI.

Firefox will not run content Adobe Flash. Please tell us how to fix. I tried to update adobe several times without success.

In case the problem is that the plugin is not activated, you can check the addons page? Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

In the left column, click on Plugins. Search for 'Shockwave Flash' down on a gray background and if you find it, change the 'never activate' to 'ask to activate '.

(With this setting, when you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.) If you do not need Flash to run on the site, ignore the notification ;)

If Shockwave Flash is not listed on the page Add - ons:

Verify the physical presence of the Plugin DLL

On Windows 7 64 bit, it's here:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

and the file would be named NPSWF32_18_0_0_160.dll (unless there is a newer version with something different instead of 160).

If the file is there... and coming out and starting Firefox save do not discover it...

One of the possible reasons for a plugin not installed on the addons page are if Firefox has been set NOT to scan the registry for plugins. Another is that the settings of Firefox, plugin data storage file is corrupt. Here are the steps to check these possibilities:

Confirm that Firefox scans the registry for plugins

Firefox detects the plugin Flash to a registry entry. Some users have scanning disabled for some reason any. Here's how check and fix this:

(1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

(2) in the filter box, type or paste the scan and make a pause so that the list is filtered

(3) If plugin.scan.plid.all is not set to its default value true, double-click it to activate it by default.

If you have changed this setting, close and restart Firefox to start another analysis.

If you see the Add-ons, Plugins section page again, you will find 'Shockwave Flash' it?

If Firefox is set to scan, but still do not find the Flash and the list on the page Add - ons...

Remove the registry file for the plugin for Firefox

Sometimes the pluginreg.dat file is damaged. You can remove it and Firefox plugins re-scan.

Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • Menu help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste Subject: support in the address bar and press enter

In the first table of the page, click on the "view file" button to launch a new window of Windows Explorer showing your settings files.

Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • File menu > exit

Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename pluginreg.dat to something like pluginreg.old

Launch Firefox back up again. (If you want to restore your previous session non-private use history > restore previous Session.)

When you return to the page modules, 'Shockwave Flash' is finally here?
