Flash player installs on several occasions without permission

I have several times uninstall the Plugin Adobe Flash Player 12 and ActiveX Adobe Flash Player 12. These two settle on several occasions without permission. In Options > Options > advanced > updates, I have the option "check for updates but let me choose whether to install" checked, and it has been like that for weeks. I work from home and I'm on the net all sources of new aggregation day and without flash I don't get bombarded with ads flash constants and sudden noises, loud. However, these two will settle at least twice a day, forcing me to uninstall them manually every time.

Cannot install plugins in Firefox. Plugins are software, like Firefox itself. They can only be installed by running the Setup program (.exe file).

Flash Player is required to browse some sites, so it is safer to disable rather than uninstall it. To do so,

  1. Press Ctrl + Shift + A to open the Add-ons Manager.
  2. Click on Plugins on the left.
  3. On the right, the Shockwave Flash value "never enable" to turn it off completely. You can also set it to "Ask to activate" to be invited to start when you browse a site that has Flash content.

If you insist to get rid of the Flash Player, there is an uninstall program that you can download to get rid of all installed versions. See the following page.

  • OSX: Flash Player installer appears easily 10 x per day

    Dear Adobe team,

    On my Macbook Pro with OSX 10.11.6 the app to install flash player launches easily 10 times a day, without asking me for it.

    What is happening is that I do my job and at random, get a pop-up saying that Flash player is up-to-date on my system.

    10 times. a. day.

    Unfocuses some app I work too much so I often in bulk text because of its input.

    I don't know what make the top to open it, I have the following programs open all day: Firefox 48.0.1, Apple Mail, Mailplane 3, Slack, Apple Notes.

    I can't spend a day with these applications closed for troubleshooting, it's my work machine.

    Do you have any suggestions what to do? How do I update the Flash Player installer or why is this application even on my system?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Thanks for the info.

    The reason that the pop - up that happens is that the plugin PPAPI (used by Opera and browser based on Chromium, except Chrome) is an older version of Flash Player.  Update checker runs and tries to check for an update, but the check fails because of an error "unable to connect to the server.  Because he cannot connect to the server, it then returns the message you see.  We have not seen the error returned in your log file and need to continue the investigation.

    Use a proxy server?

    Your system has restrictions on what processes can access the internet?

    If you use the PPAPI plugin, launch the Chrome browser that uses it and go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer to download and install the latest version of the PPAPI plugin.

    If you have / use a browser based on Chromium, I recommend you to uninstall.  Unfortunately, the Mac uninstaller program currently does not support remove them that type a (for example, PPAPI only or NPAPI only) Player.  It allows you to uninstall all Flash Player plugins present on the system and you will then need to re - install the NPAPI (used by Firefox) plugin.  To uninstall using the standalone uninstall program or the Adobe Flash Player installed by located in/Applications/Utilities.  After that the player is uninstalled, start Firefox and go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer to download and install the NPAPI plugin.

    My laptop is running Windows 7 and I am trying to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player for Firefox 14.0.0.125. Everything is fine until I get to the Adobe Flash Player installer box, it just looks like a black box empty. I have retried several times now and always empty the box of installation poster. I even waited to see if maybe it was just slow download but I got the install window open for at least an hour now and she is still a Virgin. Is this a problem with my laptop and if if I can help with it or is it a problem with the Adobe website?

    Help! I'm at the end of my mind! Windows 9, 32-bit. I have uninstalled older versions of Flash Player and seem to be downloading, but after waiting several hours, am always on "step 2" download. "" Manager tasks indicates install_flashplayer is a process, but never finished. Have followed the instructions on the Adobe website, security in the Middle, the ActiveX filtering out etc. Any ideas gratefully received.

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking the link next and selecting "save target as."

    Save the file to your download folder or office, where you can find it - DO NOT run again.

    Restart your system - a hard reboot - arrested, waith 30 seconds and then restart.

    Before opening anything else, find the downloaded installer and run.

  • flash player installer

    Long ago, adobe has decided not to distribute flash via the believing, but there a workaround for us who do not want to have a Manager to download a 10 MB file. Normally to get flash I go to using flash and download the version of the plugin, but now I go to the same page and the link is not there. using the manager isn't an option, is there another workaround solution or am I forced to download a virtual computer and and taking the plugin like this.

    It is very annoying and a platform that 97% of all PCs have installed, it simply does not exist.

    Hi ctoon,.

    I found the solution... all I had to do was manually add the ".exe" file name extension, and I was able to run the Setup program. I'm surprised that it worked... I really thought that there was a problem with the file.
