Flash Player 11.3.300.262 works only with Firefox. I think I found the problem.

* Flash Player 11.3.300.262 does not work with Firefox. I think I found the problem.*

Millions of people got off work & turned on there computers recently to discover that Firefox isn't playing videos or flash content. Like me, millions of people are randomly searching the Internet in an attempt futile and frustrating response. Unfortunately, many of these people will simply stop using firefox & consider a browser glitch, unreliable.

This happened to me a few days ago. I started my computer and got a pop-up from Adobe saying that I need to update my flash 11.3.300.262 drive. I always thought that Adobe as being a reliable software company, so I clicked on it with confidence that things will take care even more fluid. To my horror, I have relalized that just after the update, my main browser, firefox has been destroyed. Then I went on the frustrating process of uninstalling, reinstalling, running virus scan, search the Internet like a lost child. I thought, "this is why I hate the update of things, because the updates always seem to change things you don't want to change, and there always seems to be a problem with updates." I generally update software month after release, because microsoft & all other software vendors always seem to not test it stuff properly before releasing. We must look a glitchy computer until the next update fixes it. Well, that is my rant. Now, let me discuss the problem I found.

Problem:

What I did, go to my menu firefox extensions, I disabled the 11.3.300.262 & I have reactivated the previous flash player. After that, everything worked perfectly again. Then one today (a week later), I turned on my computer and my firefox wasn't playing videos or flash content again. I went into my menu parts of firefox again, and I discovered that my old flash drive has been removed & this 11.3.300.262 new glitch had been activated. Why adobe feel the need of in my computer & automatically delete and update my flash drive. Now, it does not work. It IS REALLY FRUSTRATING!

The question that I discovered:

"RealPlayer" is the most popular video show & it's installed on millions of computers. For some strange reason Firefox doesn't want its users to use Real Player. Specifically the RealPlayer Record Plugin 15.0.2. I also discovered that my Plugin 15.0.2 Record of the browser has been disabled automatically when the Adobe 11.3.300.262 is automatically updated too.

-Maybe this could be because of some conspiracy of copyright law to stop people from downloading videos from the web.

-Maybe firefox wants people to use it download add-on instead of RealPlayer downloader.

I don't know what ther reason. But what I know is no one will remove it RealPlayer to computer there is just to use FireFox. We can just use Chrome or Internet explorer. I took advice of people with disabilities the Extention of RealPlayer, FireFox and Adobe. I also went in my RealPlayer preferences options, but there is no option to disable the download of FireFox for registration. BECAUSE I have ALREADY DISABLED THE add-on menu FireFoxes.

Solution:

Step 1: Adobe needs to update all computers with the previous flash player. In this way we can choose to activate the previous flash player in our FireFox. or wait for a new update fixes the problem with firefox.

Step 2: Adobe & FireFox need to get together and go back to the drawing board. They need create an update that actually works on computers with of Real Player installed on them. I don't like that the company made the update. All I care about is if it works. Thank you.

Oh yes, Im market FireFox 13.0.1, Windows 7, computer HP, Real Player is up-to-date.

Mozilla is a not-for-profit organization, and Adobe will not loose anything if you switch to chrome or IE.

  • Flash Player 11.3.300.262 is not working properly

    Operating system: Win7 64 bit

    Browser: Mozilla Firefox 13.0.1

    Flash Player: 1.3.300.262

    So, I updated the version of Flash Player days ago and immediately noticed a few problems. I have re-installed many times now some problems have disappeared, but there is still one. During the game the Sims 3 it crashes often say that the Flash drive is missing, even though I just installed (again). I have no problems more use it with Mozilla Firefox, it's the only one left.

    Some older games REQUIRE the flash file to be precisely named "flash.ocx" - which is what has been used many years ago.   Today, Flash uses a name more long, based on the version of the file.

    For your windows 7, 64-bit system, I think that the file desired flash needs to be located in the

    C:\WINDOWS\systemWoW64\Macromed\Flash

    subdirectory... see if you can find a file named it (something like) Flash32_11_3_300_257.ocx.

    If so, right-click on the file, select COPY.   Move your cursor to any empty space on your desktop, right click and select PASTE.   Right-click on the desktop file that you just created and simply rename "flash.ocx" [CONFIRM the file - rename, if requested].  Finally, 'drag' the file renamed from your desktop, in the folder mentioned above Flash [CONFIRM file-movement of the file in read-only, if requested].

    Point out you will now have two .ocx files related to Flash in this subdirectory - one with the original name (long), and the copy that you created with the shorter name.   If all goes well, who's going to make the case and allow your game to work.

    Note: If this solve your SIMS problem, you need to repeat the process every time that you run the uninstall program Flash, upgrade to a newer version.

  • Once I downloaded the new version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262, I can not play games with my friends on Yahoo Messenger.

    It could be a coincidence, but when I upgraded to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262 I can not play games with my friends on Yahoo Messenger. I know that when I've updated for a reason that I had to try 3 times before it took. It shows that it is updated. I wonder if I have to uninstall and reinstall. Also, I never use Internet Explorer 8 but when I went there to check I found a plug check link there and it showed over there that Adobe Flash Player necessary update but it was an older version and not a Foxfire had updated me too. Now I'm really confused if it causes a problem. I've never had to control Internet Explorer for plug-ins before. Have always just updated to Foxfire since that's what I use. Adobe Flash Player seems to play videos OK not really sure if this is the issue or not. My Java plug-ins have been very well and have been updated some time there, so I know it's not that. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Hey again,
    After hours of reading and checking to make sure I had good things enabled, I did, I gave up and uninstalled the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, they gave me and re-installed and later I had my friend get on Messenger and we tried games and it worked this time.
    For some strange reason when I updated it took me 3 tries before it took. So even if he told me that it has been installed, apparently it wasn't really. Just goes to show you that you can not trust what you see.
    What has really scratching my head was I went to Internet Explorer 8, which I never use more and discovered you can now get Mozilla plug in slip out there and when I did showed that same Adobe Flash Player is outdated but it was to a different version. Not knowing if it would help, I installed a new too and he said it was his understanding that it does not. So I guess you can have 1 version installed on the computer 1 despite 2 browsers different different versions. It becomes too complicated for me. Laughing out loud!
    I work with computers all the time at work but not the technical stuff. If it's something simple, I can guess through it to help someone but it's my first personal computer for me and is a former first, so I got experience using different types. We use the desk at work as well. Personally, I like computers laptops for various reasons. And the mention of people many browsers go way over my head.
    Please answer this question though and you answer back.

  • Adobe Flash Player works only with firefox

    I downloaded the latest adobe flash player plugin, but it does not work with Firefox. It works on Internet Explorer.

    All of these problems come from the fact that Vista and Windows 7 64-bit operating systems. Internet Explorer is also 64-bit but Firefox is unfortunately not 64-bit compatible and cannot use 32-bit plug-ins.

    When upgrading Flash, it will look at your system and select the 64 bit version.  This says it contains a 32 bit version as well, but this does not seem to work on version 11x64_mssa_aih.  It will work fine on all programs except firefox.
To make sure you have a working version on Firefox you will need to search the Flash support site for 11x32_mssa_aih which is the 32 bit upgrade package.
 Until Flash fixes their version 11 package, or Firefox supports 64 bit plug-ins, you will need to run both a 32 bit and a 64 bit Flash player.

  • 11.0.03 software Adobe Reader and Flash Player 11.8.800.94 works only on Windows 8

    On a computer running Windows Enterprise 8, Adobe Reader 11.0.03 and Flash Player 11.8.800.94, I am unable to open a PDF compatible flash.  Reader gives me the error "to view the contents of the Flash technology in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat".  Review Adobe's Flash page shows me that Flash Player works and I can open other files of basic PDF in Reader.  I have another machine with the same configuration, except that it has 11.0.03 instead of Reader Acrobat and the PDF file opens fine on this machine.  Why the drive will not open the PDF compatible Flash?

    The Flash Player ActiveX is integrated to IE10 on Windows 8, but you will need to install the plugin (for other browsers, as well as Adobe Reader) of Michael link.

  • Flash Player (11.4.402.278) works only on Windows 7, 64 bit, IE9.

    I can install and uninstall Flash, but I can't locate or use once on my PC. Help appreciated, thanks.

    Flash Player is a browser add-on, not a standalone player that can open files.

    If you need to read local .swf files, you can download the standalone player (projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

    Note that the download is the player, not an installer.

  • Adobe Flash 11.4.402.265 works only with Firefox Windows 7-64 bit

    I can't watch the video from nfl.com, playing a few Youtube videos, some show just a black screen. When I try right-click and disable hardware exceleration does not appear the box, it says "copy url" etc. Version 11.4.402.265 seems to work fine in IE, but Firefox 14, it did not work. I even tried the beta verision of 15. It still does not.

    What can I do to get this working? I use Firefox all the time for everything and I don't want to spend.

    I am a computer engineer and I've been on the internet for hours trying to fix this problem. Any help? I have attached a

    screenshot of what I installed. Help, please.Adobe_controle panel.JPG

    Sorry for the late reply!  You seem to have all that is necessary to run Flash Player on Firefox.

    I also have trouble understanding why you are facing this problem.  However, I have more than one idea: you can try if the 64-bit version of Firefox, Waterfox, works better?  I've been using Waterfox since it was released, and I have never opened Firefox again since.

    Do you have an error message (page) or simply blank the page?

    You can view the journal du Net and network log in the Web Console (Firefox/tools > Web Developer) to see if the content does not load, or is perhaps blocked (the file size is zero).

    Use Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + Shift + R to reload the page and bypass the cache to generate a new connection.

    You can try the following steps in case of problems with web pages:

    You can reload webpages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    Clear the cache and delete cookies only from Web sites that cause problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Firefox/tools > Options > privacy > "Use the custom settings for history" > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox, Tools/menu key > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Banking SM@RT-Tan works only with firefox; with ok IE; How can I fix it?

    Work with PC XP system; Bank chip-tan with the window code dancing worked perfectly until about 3 weeks; Since then, the code window does not display the bars, or flicker. Similarly, for radio stations streaming no longer works. The two funktions are ok with MS Internet Explorer. Would like to make banking services and streaming as before with standard set firefox browser.

    Please update your Firefox latest version of Firefox 26 and give a try.

    If its does not work, try in safe mode

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Hakalo, here is another suggestion, and it's what I have on my computer. First of all, I went to the download page of Firefox and downloaded Firefox version 3.6.17 on my desk. Then I went into Control Panel (cp) (start, Control Panel, add remove programs) and deleted firefox to my computer [uter. I have then closed cp and went on the desktop and installed 3.6.17 immediately all the problems of ff, I had, went.

    In fact when you download a program my computer put on the desktop because it's where I want it to be, your situation might be different. You can check this in tools, options, general.l;

  • Flash player 11.3.300.262 is using a lot of memory

    Since the update flash a few days ago, that the plugin uses a lot more memory than usual. He uses normally between 150 MB to 200 MB, but now I've seen him use up to 900 MB.

    I noticed that the memory use increases of 5 MB or more, when you browse through a video until I stop the plugin because of the ridiculous amount of memory used.

    Please check if all your plugins are up to date. To do this, go to the Mozilla Plugin Check site.

    Once you are there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
    If you see in the list of plugins that have a yellow button to update or a red button update now , please put to update these immediately.

    To do this, click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps in the installation process.
