• 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')

• Shockwave Flash from Adobe 10.2.152.32 only plays in a 'user account '.

  Shockwave Flash from Adobe 10.2.152.32 will not play anything embedded using * my * user account in WinXP SP3 (e.g.: items on HuffPost/no Hulu/no streaming radio station broadcasts listen functions, for example, 'radioplayer' and ' mediaplayer "in these windows addies/ sites not Vimeo (e.g.: someone streaming views of a backyard bird nest).") YouTube is not a problem at all.
  Firefox 3.6.14. 32-bit operating system
  Flash stopped working on my 'user account' XP when I put to day Flash 8 March 2011 two days ago AND then update to IE 8 (6) (that we do not use) and also of SP3 for Windows XP (SP2)(not Pro). All Microsoft update takes about an hour, maybe longer.
  Disabling hardware acceleration had no effect.

  Uninstalled and reinstalled the software Adobe Flash Player from the Adobe site.
  Adobe plays everything on the user account of the DH, but nothing plays on my 'side '.
  I have Administrator status and all that.
  Check many FFsettings allowing pop up windows, average internet zone security, javascript, etc.
  NoScript to allow everything or just the strictly necessary, to try to diagnose this prob, when on a Web page.
  Shockwave Flash in modules is "activated" spout that I noticed yesterday that it was somehow invalid.
  Stop down and restarted three times while he allow sufficient time to do as well.

  MS Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin 1.0.0.8 in my Add-ons, also.
  "HTML5 Extension for Windows Media Player plugin 1.0 ' in my modules.
  AVG Antivirus Free Edition 2011.
  With the help of Sandboxie. However, I use Firefox without the sandbox and do reboots (and I do attention save when closing sandbox stuff, etc.) when adding.
  Disabled Windows Firewall at a point just trying to get/streaming video to play after all my update has led to this problem.
  Curious to know why the plugin says "Shockwave Flash 10.2.152.32 with this little 10.2r152 under" but the version # I installed refers to * Flash Player * shock... blah, blah 10.2.152.32 when I got it - is this just quirks of terminology or different things?
  Thank you for your time; I read a lot of posts to see to it there in as my prob, could not find a.

  Hi, if you have XP/SP3 and using IE8 and FF. I would not be updated for FF 3.6.15 yet since this can complicated additional questions.

  However, the upgrade from IE6 to IE8 and install SP3 are the two major updates. One of those who could have caused the glitch in Flash Player, because it works in browsers. So it makes sense that you should have to install FP even in IE8.

  Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Open Flash and after return the files listed here. NPSWF files must be opened with a right-click, and then click Properties to get the version numbers.

  Using IE, go to tools, manage Addons and under "Show"(very light text) is Shockwave Flash Object installed, active and this is the version 10.2.152.32? "»

  FF, navigate to the plugins and is the active Shockwave Flash plugin?

  The Shockwave Flash object and the Shockwave Flash plugin are the controls for Flash Player.

  Let us make sure that we have Flash Player and the required browser addons installed correctly before addressing other issues.

  Thank you

  Hi Annie,.

  Try the following.

  First of all, download and run the uninstall program of Shockwave on the link below.

  After this has completed, restart the laptop.

  When windows has completely recharged, download and install the latest version of Shockwave on the following link.

• After the upgrade to Firefox 6.0.2 first flash content was not displayed, but now the plugin does not load. Firefox plugin check says Flash is obsolete, but I just downloaded it from the Web site.

  The current versions of Firefox are 64-bit on OS X, if you need a 64-bit version of Flash with Firefox 6.0.x or you must start Firefox as a 32-bit application to be able to use a 32-bit version of a plugin.

  2. Launch the Finder and open the Applications folder
  3. Make a right click or Ctrl-click the icon of Firefox.app

• Shockwave Flash says Firefox is vulnerable and requires the update when it has been updated.

  After opening a page, Firefox gave a warning that "Shockwave Flash is vulnerable and needs to be updated". I went to get.adobe.com and updated to 17.0.0.169, but the warning was repeated and the blocked content. I checked youtube, which would play music and videos tutorial DIY of two tests without any problem, but still repeat the warning of block. I checked the Addons Manager, who said that he had to update Flash, but when I checked adobe it said I had the latest update. Manager of Addons for Flash, "always enable" under dimmed, the option 'request to activate' selected but grayed out when I clicked on the menu drop-down button, and the option "never activate" standard black text.

  After seeing a few other similar questions recently, I tried the answer to "Force a Ping of Blocklist"
  https://wiki.Mozilla.org/Blocklisting/testing#Forcing_a_Blocklist_Ping
  .. who is not "defined" in the Console of the browser and had no effect on the issue.

  Hello von_tyrone, the latest version of flash, you need to update because it fixes several vulnerabilities is Flash Player 18.0.0.194. It is available at https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

• Firefox won't open the shockwave flash files because there are 2 types?

  Firefox does not open some swf files when I say that this is the cause. However, http://edmullen.net/test/poopboy.swf works fine.

  I looked in my Options-> Applications menu and found this http://i.imgur.com/kPVOHdE.png

  So it has got 2 different types of SWFs to meet him. I can't tell the top affliate background is the same way.

  I tried to uninstall the plugin. This removed the bottom and meant that the poopboy.swf I also linked didn't work in the same way, however, put it back, I was just back to the drawing board.

  I want to add that these particular .swf files that I'm running worked yesterday so file corruption is not the problem, especially since I went and all the redownloaded.

  These two SWF entries are on different MIME types that first one appears to be damaged or at least unusual. and probably the second (application/x-shockwave-flash) should be there.

  You can rename (or delete) the file mimeTypes.rdf in the profile folder of Firefox to reset all the actions file.

• My Shockwave Flash for Firefox (and IE) plugin causes computer/browser crash & restart, but only for the worms. 10.2 +. 10.1 & below, no problem. Any difficulty?

  I had this persistent problem of Shockwave Flash crash my system and causing an automatic my PC restart, as soon as I try to play flash videos (any browser, in fact). However, as long as I keep my flash to version 10.1 and not update it, it works fine. The problem is how long can I keep it like that until some future tweak of the same general Web site if flash sites that prevent work?

  I want to know if there is a fix so that I can install future versions of the Shockwave Flash plugin and actually make it work so I don't have to use such an archaic version of the Flash more (gag, even if I say this, I again Flash, it's so awkward in any version, I wish websites would turn to some other standard videos already).

  If anyone has an answer, please let me know. (My computer works on Windows XP with Firefox 12, either said by the way. Oh and I would love it if there was a way to get Firefox to work on the iPad, Safari is such a crude, childish browser, it has almost no Add-ons useful or features custom at all.)

  I just noticed that, in the subject line of your message, you specify the ActiveX of Flash for IE version causes the same problem. I wonder if there could be a problem with your graphics card driver software. Have you checked the firmware updates?

• Plugin Checker Firefox reads Adobe Flash Player obsolete, even if the latest version (19.0.0.207) is installed.

  I recently installed Adobe Flash Player version 19.0.0.207 to replace the previous version (19.0.0.185). However, when I ran the plugin checker, he says that Flash is outdated, still saying version 19.0.0.185. Then, I went into the menu Add on, you click on the plugins tab, scrolled down to Shockwave Flash and you click on more. He showed two files .dll, NPSWF32_19_0_0_185.dll and NPSWF32_19_0_0_207.dll.
  Since the auditor think again that the 19.0.0.185 version is still installed, the plugin check tool reads the outdated Flash Player. There, someone can help me with this situation?

  Good news! I closed the browser for a few minutes. Then, I ran again the update checker. This time, he read Flash as up-to-date. The old file, NPSWF32_19_0_0_185.dll, was removed from the list of plugin.

• Why Firefox always turns off "activate" on the plugin Shockwave Flash in Firefox 39

  Impossible to always select "activate" on the Shockwave Flash plugin since the upgrade to Firefox 39 today. I refuse to use this browser if I have to type "Allow and Remember" on every page that contains the flash code. He does not remember preferences, period. Have already rebooted my system, reinstalled Firefox flash and reinstalled twice. I tried uninstalling 39 and install automatically with a 37 talon but he upgraded me at 39

  Flash has been blocked yesterday had to break and actively exploited security vulnerabilities. Please update flash today to be able to use it again.

• 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.
