• Firefox 34,05 incorrectly identifies obsolete plugins

  From midnight 12/12/14, Firefox started blocking plugins (in this case, Adobe Flash and Java Deployment Toolkit, possibly others that I have just been to websites that use those), saying that they are obsolete. When I click 'Update Now', the page state of the Plugin tells me that all my plugins are up to date. (I'm running Flash 15.0.0.239 and Java Deployment Toolkit 10.71.2.14, for the record.)

  I got the point of this feature and I really want to turn permanently on "always allow", but having to click the two guests 'allow' whenever I load a Web site that has Flash is quickly making intolerable web browsing. I'm about to switch to Google Chrome on it.

  The 15.0.0.239 was not the last Flash 15 version as15.0.0.242 and older are blocked and vulnerable. The 15.0.0.246 was not affected even if according to Adobe.

  The plugin check page must be manually updated version which is said is current can't be said for Flash. Check the version of Flash to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

  For Firefox on Windows, the latest version of Flash player is 16.0.0.235 and the version of support extended 13.0.0.259 to https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

• Firefox ESR 10.0.12 disables the flash plugin - updates to the latest version do not work?

  Suddenly - without the measures taken by me - FF ESR 10.0.12 refuses to accept Adobe Flash? (System Win 7 Ultimate 64)
  It started with a very boring bar, which cost me 2 hours to turn it off, which told me to update a plugin from Adobe Reader very old and unused. Then, he insisted, that the Foxit PDF reader plugin is not updated. Because I do not use it, I disabled too. Since I rarely use Flash, I just found out today, that youtube does more - FF insists, that my flash plugin is too old and there it turned off.
  It has cost me hours so far and this is _exactly_ the reason why I use the channel of the ESR.
  What I did:
  Have completely uninstalled Adobe Flash (using Windows). Used the normal Firefox update, which he would recommend (your flash drive has been disabled, please install...). Without success, it simply goes in a loop, always telling me that my flash player is too old.
  I also installed directly from Adobe (version Firefox!), in all cases, it reports version 11.5.502.104. The latest version of Adobe-, but it seems to be too old?

  I'm spitting angry now - this kind of disorder is the reason that I only use Mozilla's ESR versions. I don't want your troop of chaos to play with the installation of _my_. But obviously, you have found ways to do it.

  If this is not resolved (and no, I do _not_ reinstall Firefox, I'm not going to delete my profile) in a few days, Firefox is dead to me. I'm already with Chrome and Opera. Many friends have these browsers - I am a bit conservative and I want as my stable browser and look a feeling must also be stable. I do _not_ want a new version every two weeks, which costs each time that my effort and time to configure it as I want.

  The question is: How did you disable the latest version of Flash and why? Why do I now register here and investing valuable time to get my browser to work again? If I had done something, install or remove something, okay. But I did not. (And Yes, so far I have day Flash and other plugins, when I was invited to do)

  Clearly _your_ management works the _not_: if I use solutions which FF itself recommends, it sends me into an infinite loop: install newer Flash, sorry, Flash is obsolete, install latest Flash...

  Is this the new "security"? Bah. If you have done for the 'normal' user (which you obviously don't respect any more), you have not. And you have not completely for me: If software insists on doing things 'automatically', it should make them less reliable, it should ask _or_. But work in the shadows, change things, reports nothing and then failing is exactly the reason why I disable things to "automatic" and want to be _asked_ before some silly piece of c... deconfigures himself - and stops working...

  The following troubleshooting tips:
  At this time, Flash player is installed, presents in the list of systems as "Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin" software, Version 11.5.502.146. The others are my normal plugins. Several changes to about: config were made by me in order to do usable FF again, without harassing the bars 'info '...

  Found: in some sort plugin.scan.plid.all entry disappeared from my setup under "subject: config'." It simply no longer existed.

  After much research and cursing I found and reinstated, with the Boolean value 'true '. Now Flash Player is once again, and it seems to work. The horse is gone. Also, I was able to uninstall the old plugin Adobe Reader and FoxIt Reader plugin, which I haven't used for a long time (format PDF download always locally). It helped, because the annoying nag window went away, and I could reactivate other options that I had to disable, to get rid of a bar/window indicating the information known about a plugin that was disabled and not used anyway. (It started with 10.0.12 update, I think)

  Comment: It's unnecessary _completely_ for me (plugin was the last version of anyway, because he has a service life of update and updates without FF). It took me 2-3 hours of precious time.

  Could you please consider:
  (1) INFORM the user about the problems and not more stupid click me once windows with standard chat text. Even Microsoft, not known for their openness and user information, was able to inform me of updates of _what_ _avant_ I install them and _why_ I should install them.
  2) more information in the windows plugin/extension, so there is no chance of finding problems.
  (3) STOP the condescension and mothering the user, at least as an option, so we can choose it. Because if someday leave FF forever, it will be the main reason. I REFUSE to install automatically. I am _responsible_ to my computer. If someone or something moves for example illegal data on it, I can't use the excuse that this was done 'automatically '. I want to know how, when and WHY an update or something is installed. So please stop this patronizing.

• Firefox keeps exposing a nag on outdated Flash plugin bar

  Recently, Firefox keeps displaying a yellow bar horse informing me that my Flash plugin is obsolete and should be updated. I can't update my flash because I don't have no administrator rights on this PC (but in return, I am not responsible for any damage caused by respective exploits). However my portable Firefox keeps this nag bar display. Checks for all sorts of updates is disabled in the options, but that doesn't seem to cover this check for plugins update (or at less the flash plugin). What can I do?

  you are welcome - please note that for version 11.3 of flash, you must copy the two .dll file & the FlashPlayerPlugin_11_3_XXX_XXX.exe (which is used for protected mode adobe) in the folder plugin, otherwise Firefox crashes on pages with flash content.

• Firefox does not add the Silverlight or Flash plugins installed

  Since Firefox updated to 17.0.1, the plugins flash and silverlight has simply disappeared.
  I tried to clean install of the flash player, it didn't work. I tried to install clean an earlier version of flash player, what does not work. The plugin Manager is less useless as it says that the plugin has been installed successfully, but I can't use Netflix or any flash video. I did everything above once more with all the plugins and addons disabled, and still nothing happens.

  It gets really frustrating and indeed I plan to switch to chrome after the chain crap, forced updates, mozilla pushed down my throat... Help, please!

  -All right, follow these steps in the following order (even if you already have one of these steps, just try again):

  1. Use http://ninite.com/firefox-flash-silverlight/ninite.exe to make sure Firefox, Flash and Silverlight are perfectly up-to-date. Make sure that Firefox is completely closed before running this program. (It might be useful to download this, restart your computer, then run it)
  2. After installation, restart your PC again.
  3. Open Firefox, type about: addons in your address bar, press ENTER. Go to plugins. Flash or Silverlight appear here? You may need to enable them.
  4. If not, reset Firefox. Refresh Firefox – reset the parameters and modules

• WHT is firefox tries to force me to download flash player

  I go on my site of baseball minor League for the games. I click the button to get a view animated on the real-time action game. Firefox tells me I have to have a flash drive and need to download it. I closed firefox, go to google, go to the same site and click on the same button. I have gert exactly what I want. Google don't ask for any player. What I have is good enough. Why firefox trying to force me to download a flash player, that I obviously didn't need? What I want to keep google towatch my baseball games?

  IE and Google Chrome use their own version of the Flash plugin.
  Google Chrome comes with its own version of the Shockwave Flash plugin inspired by pepper, then Google Chrome must be updated every time Flash is updated.

  Firefox needs a different version of the Flash plugin to be installed separately.
  You can find the latest versions of Flash player for Firefox on this page:

• Firefox has incorrectly disabled to update Flash to be exceeded; wants me to install an older Flash not available.

  Train to start a new PC Windows 7 (64 bit) today. 11 Firefox usually works very well. I used Firefox to install Flash 11.1.102.63, that is what is recommended for my system to adobe.com/software/flash/about.

  YouTube works, but when I load a page with a. SWF file, which appears is 'a plugin is required to view this content. Install the plug-in... "and by clicking it launches the Plugin of Firefox's Search Service. This window helps me to install Flash 11.1.102.62 (note the last digit), which of course is not because Adobe refuses to provide an outdated version.

  Firefox Plugin Check says: "for your security, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please install the latest version. [link to the adobe.com site] "it is a simple matter of Firefox mistakenly thinking this Flash version is obsolete." He's trying to force me to install what he thinks, this is the current version, but this is incorrect and impossible.

  You probably install the x 64 version of Flash, which does not work with Firefox because it is a 32-bit program. Download and install Flash of http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_plugin_32bit.exeand see if it works.

• What is the mozilla firefox update Shockwave Flash plugin AND what is the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

  After update of mozilla firefox and come here to help another user pointed out that I had several Flash plugins below. Before updating, I was updating from mozilla firefox and Adobe. Of course, things were NOT up-to-date. I managed to delete the obsolete Flash and Adobe Flash Player plugins. I just want to know what that "more" updated the plugin and the player are while I know that I have the last and am new. I do the last firefox update now and I use Windows 7. Thank you! You people here are the best!

  Note that your system details list shows several Flash plugins.

     Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0
     Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0
  

  The plugin for Firefox is called Shockwave Flash and the latest version is 17.0.0.188

  When it installs, Flash by default to update automatically, but if you need to manually update, you can use one of these pages:

  • https://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/ (uncheck all the unwanted extras)
  • https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (one for the browsers 'plugin')

• I get a message saying that firefox has prevented the dangerous 'adobe flash' plugin of the race

  Hi Janetc69,

  I had the same problem, after having informed me with a few mags of PC online, I simply uninstalled Adobe flash player in my laptop.
  Since then, I got no problem with playback of videos with firefox browser. What more, it seems to work better than before.
  Anyway most of the browsers are slowly remove Adobe flash player on their systems.
  If this does not work you can always reinstall Adobe, try it.

  Good luck!

• I have firefox I put in player17.0.0 flash and I can't see vidios on utube or play games on facebook or zynga. Why not? What should I do?

  When I was asked to update my flash player, so I did, I was playing farm town 2 on Zynga. When I did, I went to play my game and the image would not return. The site came, but the game would not load completely so that I can play the game. I'm went on You tube to play music videos and the videos would not play. I went to my WWE network to see if I could look at him and I could not watch anything there either. I can not even play my games book face. I loaded and unloaded flashplayer at least a dozen times or more, and I still can't get anywhere. I can also do not charge any old version of flash player. What should I do?

  First of all, unfortunately, pop-up message on the Flash updates while you visit Web sites can often install malware. If you notice any strange behavior then please complete your plan of regular safety with some freedom to scan/cleaning of the tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware.

  Secondly, your "more details of the system" does not show the 'Shockwave Flash' plugin, so it can be disabled. You can check on the page modules, either:

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

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

  If the plugin is not there, you can check the following folder to see if you find this file on the system:

  File: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
  File: NPSWF32_17_0_0_188.dll

  I also noticed something odd: you said Windows 7, but your Firefox means Windows XP. Could clear you any parameter of backward compatibility on your shortcut to Firefox. Here's how, either:

  • Right click of your Firefox shortcut on the desktop > properties
  • right click on your icon of Firefox taskbar pinned > Mozilla Firefox right-click > properties

  In this dialog box, open the Compatibility tab and make sure that nothing is settled here, so Firefox can take full advantage of Windows 7.

• Why should I firefox SHOCKWAVE FLASH plugin?

  I think it may cause apple to break spinning ball. Can I remove it and avoid spinning ball? If so, how?

  Flash player is a software developed by Adobe , who use many video websites, games, and other items. Flash player can cause slowness, causing many accidents and often has security problems, but use enough sites that its not really possible to avoid it. YouTube, for example, went to a new technology to play videos which is no need of flash player, but facebook always uses the flash drive for many features. So, Yes, we should probably keep it.

  If you wish, you can choose which websites to allow a flash drive work on a per-site basis. Come on in "subject: addons" in the address bar, click on the 'plugins' tab and look for what is called "shockwave flash" or similar. In the drop-down next to this menu, you can choose "ask to activate. In this way, firefox will ask you before you run flash on websites, so you can use flash when you want.

• With the latest Firefox, I get errors on Tumblr and Flash blocking drive almost everytime I watch a video on Tumblr.

  This has been driving me crazy for days now. I've updated to the latest version of Firefox, but whenever I go to a Web page on Tumblr, (my dashboard, my personal blog, blog of someone else) I'm bombarded with error messages saying too "recursion." I get usually anywhere from 3 to 5 messages per page. I went back to 34 Firefox and can now access Tumblr very well, but then I am faced with a different problem. When you watch videos or the vines on Tumblr, they can spontaneously trolling, jigging or stop playing. If I try to resume them, then they might start to play but all the sound elements will be cut. This seems to cause some sort of problem with Flash Player, because after what happens on Tumblr, and then it will happen on ANY video game site that I visit. If I try to watch a video on Youtube, the video will be spasm for a few seconds and then go on static and say "an error has occurred, please try again later." I tested it on other video sites like Blip, and they also cause audio and video bugs. Even if I close Firefox and start it again, the problem will not be solved. The only way I found for fixing injuries is manually reinstall Flash Player (which forces me to reset Firefox anyway). This was a great nuisance, as I had to reinstall the Flash Player and reset Firefox about five times every day for the last week or two. This leads me to consider dumping Firefox for Chrome, and I don't want to do that.

  Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - avoid that it happen

  • Update your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL
  • Troubleshoot extensions, themes, and issues of hardware acceleration to resolve common problems of Firefox

  It is also possible to watch videos in the HTML5 video player, if you turn off the Flash.
