• Firefox keeps exposing a nag on outdated Flash plugin bar

  Recently, Firefox keeps displaying a yellow bar horse informing me that my Flash plugin is obsolete and should be updated.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.

  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!

• Linux, Firefox 21.0 and the last flash for LINUX (11.2). I can't view youtube videos because firefox has disabled the plugin. Help!

  An hour ago, I watched with happiness of the videos from youtube on Linux using Firefox 20.0 and 11.2 flash. I've just updated firefox and it of now my blocking flash and invites me to update. The problem is I can't update because 11.2 is the LATEST version of the flash for firefox plugin, there is no other version.

  Is there a way to prevent the deactivation of my firefox plugin?

  The directory structure, at least for linux, seems to have changed for version 21. I have my distribution of firefox / opt/firefox /, and so far I keep the plugin flash in/opt/firefox/plugins /. Verse 21, the plugin directory should be/opt/firefox/browser/plugins/EC directory does not exist by default. You can create or mv just the old directory of plugin to the new location

  $ cd/opt/firefox / #(ou partout où votre firefox est installé)
  $ mv plugins / browser /.

  Icons / directory has also been moved to that subdirectory, that's why my office firefox button was not correctly displayed after the update.

  -The main thing that firefox really should do is to archive the previous version of firefox, whenever there is an update. It is ridiculous to have to deal with this kind of issue immediately after an update when you have important work to do on time! To do a simple option to temporarily return to the previous version of firefox. It would be trivial to implement and could be used when a new release breaks something.

     • Once the download is complete, exit Firefox
     • Click on the installer, you just download and install

• 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 the latest version of firefox insists not flash player is outdated and blocks read, but this is the last update

  Hello, adobe has released a critical fix for a vulnerability in its version of the flash plugin, which is apparently already exploited in the wild. That's why firefox will block the precarious versions which run by default on Web sites for your protection. https://helpx.Adobe.com/security/products/Flash-Player/apsb14-27.html https://addons.Mozilla.org/Firefox/blocked/p794

  Please update Adobe Flash Player version 16.0.0.235 as soon as possible, that you can download from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (use the windows exe for plugin-based browsers).

• If I have the Flash Plugin on my computer, Firefox pages constantly lock

  If I have the Flash plugin on my pages of computer lock and I have to close it using cont/alt/delete. When I delete Flash plugin stops problems. BUT then I get a popup saying: I need the Flash plugin and the window is still in the way of typing a web address. He is a recent problem. I tried to remove Firefox and download again, but nothing helped.
  I tried clicking on install on the window, but then my pages lock constantly. It seems to be an incompatibility with Flash and Firefox.

  You can check for problems with the current versions of the plugin Shockwave Flash and try this:

  • Disable protected mode in the plugin Flash (Flash 11.3 + on Windows Vista and later versions)
  • turn off hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

• Why do I have multiple Versions of Adobe Flash Plugins in FireFox

  Hello

  I used 2 versions of plugins Adobe Flash installed in Firefox at the same time: the most recent version and the previous version that remains behind after an update. I usually disable the old version but sometimes that also affect the updated version, leaving me without capacity Flash in FireFox.

  This week I updated Adobe Flash plugin for FireFox for 12.0.0.43 but was surprised to find out that the 2 versions of Flash also remained. Now, Firefox has 3 versions of plugins Adobe Flash. I discovered the Adobe Flash uninstall program and uninstalled all the Flash of my computer. Surprised when I reinstalled Flash player in FireFox, once again 2 versions have been installed: 12 and 11. I tried to use the uninstaller on FireFox only, but it does not recognize the older Flash, only the version 12 update plugin.

  The recent update of Adobe Flash, version 12, is an update of the "criticism of security." Therefore, I have a little wait to solve this problem. I hope you can help me with this problem.

  Thank you.

• 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 off telling me to upgrade to the new version of the flash plugin. I can't upgrade to the latest Adobe flash player 11, because it does not support Windows Vista 64-bit. So now what am I supposed to do?

  I have Windows Vista 64-bit. I can not play online games on Pogo. I have already contacted Pogo & they have update me of flash player. Firefox disabled by the Flash plugin. I can't update Adobe flash player because it does not support 64-bit.
