• Firefox 34.0.5 said plugin Adobe Flash is blocked, but the audit reports to update my plugin Flash (version 16.0.0.235) is underway. How to fix?

  About 1 month ago I have updated Flash and Firefox to newer versions. Firefox 34.0.5, running on Windows XP, SP3, displays Adobe Flash plugin in version 16.0.0.235, but it is now blocked again. No other versions of Flash are obvious. When I choose the screen Flash option to check the plugins are updated, Firefox reports the Flash plugin is up to date.
  This program's behavior is wrong and needs to be fixed. Review at Adobe, current Flash is 16.0.0.305.
  Who or what is broken here? Is Firefox broken and not properly related this newest version of the Flash plugin is available?
  I do not seem to previous versions of Flash installed on the system. This combo of the software was working properly for a while and then become broken, without path appropriate to allow users to resolve the issue. If Firefox is set to 'Block' a plugin, then it * MUST * be configured to easily and * CORRECTLY * allow this plugin to update. Using the latest software, my clicking on the function of "Check for updates" is reporting that Adobe Flash is the most recent version. Arrrrgh!
  I am now back to the "diagnose and repair broken Flash + Firefox" exercise that I just went thru.
  Best solution here would be to allow the user to easily override the mechanism of 'blocking' This could help users who use only access Flash video on trusted sites.
  If there is an obvious solution to this 'blocking' current Flash goofery, please inform. Otherwise, when I solve this problem, I'll post an answer to my own question here, stating what I did to solve this problem, because it seems to have an impact on other users Firefox + Flash, without a clear solution being posted.

  OK, fixed. You must manually update for Adobe Flash 16.0.0.305. Do this downloaded by the installation program Adobe Flash, for WIndows with plugin browsers. Closing Firefox, run the Adobe Flash Installer and restart Firefox, you should see the plugin Flash is now 16.0.0.305. I use Windows XP - SP3, on an old HP box. Seems to work ok now (video sites course streams without incurring of autoblocking). Inspection of network traffic shows smoother bandwidth also.

  Steps to follow:

  (1) download the latest version of the Flash plugin installed, for Windows with plugins, if you are using XP - SP3. Try to get the full 18 meg installer of Flash player.
  I followed a number of different links and eventually got to a page
  who has several options for different operating systems and versions
  the browser used. I chose Flash for Windows Setup with
  browsers that use plugins (as opposed to Windows IE/ActiveX).
  I can't find the exact URL that has the 16.0.0.305 plugin. I'll post
  the URL as a post follow-up, once I found where Adobe has it.

  The file you want is:
  'install_flash_player_16_plugin.exe '.

  Note, date 11 February 2015, the version I downloaded
  called 'install_flash_player_16_plugin.exe' is 18,129,584 bytes.

  I ran "md5sum" on it, and got:
  

  "1bca2e01063de6925c01b21abf9654d8" as the value of control.

  (2) Download this prgm (install_Flash_player_16_plugin.exe), and
  put it anywhere where you put the .exe files downloaded.

  (3) exit Firefox.

  (4) or use the "Run" box, or click a "cmd" to shell
  for a prompt C:\. Find the Setup program, and then run it. Should be
  update the contents of the directory:
  "C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash".

  (5) you can confirm that the content of this directory is updated.
  Check the content of the file "mms.cfg. It has two lines and controls
  If Flash updates will be automatically, or in the background.
  (I'm paranoid, and disable the auto update... Any program of automatic update
  is a perfect vector for insertion of viruses. Use this approach to your own
  risk.)

  (6) restart Firefox and confirm the Flash plugin is now worm 16.0.0.305.

  This should fix the autoblocking of Flash for the 16.0.0.235 plugin.

• How to follow the direction of Adobe 'Flash uninstall"to check the Firefox browser for the 'status' of Adobe Flash? --

  I downloaded Adobe uninstall (for Mac, OS x 10.4ff) and he ran to get rid of old shards of Adobe Flash, be very careful to follow the Adobe provided through their Web site. The last thing they ask you to do is to "Check that the uninstall is complete", by restarting your computer and then open your browser and check the status of the Flash Player. BUT it seems not to be a way to check the State of Adobe Flash Player on current versions of browsers Mozilla product.
  How can I check that the old version of 'Flash Player' is really gone?

• How to fix the incompatibility of Adobe Flash with Firefox 13.0?

  Since 06/10/12, Adobe flash 11.3 wouldn't work in Firefox 13. On any web site. I had no problem with IE. I run Vista, last updated.

  None of the answers on this site solved my own problems.

  Here's how I successfully addressed the issue:

  (1) I removed all the caches of Adobe Flash as shown in http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_6__Remove_Flash_Player_cache .

  (2) I uninstalled all instances of Adobe Flash through programs and features in Control Panel.

  (3) I rebooted my computer and Firefox.

  (4) I open YouTube in Firefox. He led me (automatically) to install Adobe Flash 11.2.202.235. If I was aware of this version prior to version current (11.3) version, I have been unable to locate it by download on the Adobe site.

  Flash then reworked in Firefox 13.0.

  My initial dose unfortunately only lasted about an hour.

  What I thought would be my last blow, I have disabled protected Adobe Flash - mode http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#4468493 .

  Who did the trick. Flash now works in all websites. Google Earth also works.

• How can I find the version of Adobe Flash Player installed on my Mac

  1. How can I find the version of Adobe Flash Player installed on my Mac?  I'm on OS 10.11.5 and Safari 9.1.1.
  2. How can I determine if I need to update Adobe Flash Player

  There are several different methods to check which version is installed, two of them are:

  Option 1:

  • Go to System Preferences > Flash Player > Updates tab.  There are 2 variants of Flash Player on Mac, NPAPI for Safari and Firefox and PPAPI for opera and Chrome browsers, and both appear in the tab "Updates".
  • If Flash Player is installed the version installed is listed here.  If there is a version that is listed, click the check now button and Flash Player will check for an update.  If an update is available, a notification dialog box appears.
  • If there is not a version listed, Flash Player is not installed.  Click Install now to start the browser to the download page.  Download and install Flash Player.

  Option 2:

  • Launch the browser and go to https://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about.
    • If Flash Player is not installed, a "plugin missing" message appears when the Flash content should display.
      • Click on the "plugin missing" text and a window placard showing Flash Player is required poster.
      • Click more info to be directly to the download page to download and install Flash Player
    • If a previous version of Flash Player is detected and blocked by Safari, click on the "Outdated Flash" text and displays a windows Flash is obsolete screens.  Click on download Flash... button to be redirected to the download page to download and install the latest version.

• Anyone know how to change the password for the installation of Adobe Flash Player?

  Anyone know how to change the password for the installation of Adobe Flash Player? I have tried everything that I usually use and nothing works. My Adobe ID password works perfectly. I can't complete the installation without this, and it doesn't have a 'forgotten password' button to change it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you

  There is no password required for the installation of Flash Player, at least not on the side of the things Adobe.  It's probably the security of your computer, forcing you to you connect allowing the installation to occur.  Only you would know what would be the connection for this information.

• How to upgrade the version of Adobe Flash Player on my new Samsung Smart TV

  How to upgrade the version of Adobe Flash Player on my new Samsung Smart TV?

  I just bought a Samsung Smart TV. When I try to watch ESPN3, I get the message: insufficient Flash drive requirements.

  Click to update provides the following information:

  Adobe Flash Player version 11.2.202.243.

  Your system: 32-bit Linux, Safari.

  NOTE: Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version of target Linux as a supported platform. Adobe will continue to provide backports of security Flash Player for Linux 11.2.

  Select Version to download:

  YUM for Linux (YUM)

  . for other Linux tar.gz

  for other Linux .rpm

  APT for UBUNTU 10.4.

  When I select the first 3 options of Linux, I get the message: IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWNLOAD.  When I select APT, I get the message SERVER NOT FOUND.

  Hello

  As I mentioned earlier in this thread (15,17 and 37 positions), doesn't matter which drive Flash updates for Smart TV, if any, would come from the manufacturer, Adobe and certainly not some random site asking you to fill out a questionnaire before give you a file.  Please contact your support of manufacturer of Smart TVs.

  Please, please, please, do NOT go to some random website that asks you to fill out a questionnaire to get a file.  If you happen to get a file, it will likely contain a virus, malware, etc..  Adobe, or any legitimate manufacture, will display a file on some random site and ask you to complete the questionnaire in order to obtain the file.  It just opens your system to all kinds of bad things.  Please do not.

• Cannot install the update for adobe flash player

  I'm not able to install the update for adobe flash player on my MacBook Pro running Yosemite.  I can access adobe flash player if Opera but not able to access it via Safari.  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much!

  Have you checked to see if it is compatible with or intended for El Capitan Yosemite?

• Strange icon that will not allow the update to Adobe Flash Player 17 for mac

  When I download the most recent Adobe Flash update for mac I have a strange icon.

  

  When I double click to launch the update file, I get an even weirder window full of gibberish.

  If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'm open. I went through each help file I can find for Adobe and nothing has helped so far.

  Hi Threigia,

  Remove the .mdlp of file name, so that it ends just .dmg.

  We are seeing this behavior with users who have installed of MathLab and we look at why this is happening.  FWIW, this happens to other software THAT DMG files as well, not only the installer of Flash Player.  For some reason when users have installed, MathLab when the DMG file is downloaded, it adds the extension .mdlp for her.  When users try to run it, rather than open with DiskImageMounter, which is what OS X uses to open DMG files, it opens using MATLAB and the result is what you posted.  In this case in the future, simply remove ".mdlp" from the file name and DiskImageMounter will open the DMG, instead of Matlab.

• Is there a way to disable Firefox from telling me that Adobe Flash Player is out of date?

  We run a program that does not allow students to update programs or make other changes. The problem is that Firefox thinks that it NEED to update Flash Player whenever there is a new version. It is simply not feasible with as many computers as we support. 99% of the time, the update is not necessary.

  Is there a way to disable Firefox from telling me that Adobe Flash Player is out of date?

  You can disable the blocking of modules in Firefox and remove the file blocklist.xml in the profile folder.

  Disable these prefs.
  Extensions.blocklist.Enabled = change this pref to false
  Extensions.blocklist.URL = delete the url if Firefox can't find the server where this file is sent from

• It is true that Firefox v11 will fully support Adobe Flash and when you go to make a version of Thunderbird mobile.

  I'll buy a HTC Merge soon and I would like to know if Firefox v11 will fully support Adobe Flash and if I decide to use v10 now this method would work https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-mobile-doesn ' t-support-flash? e're = & as = NAQ if I wanted to watch flash videos on lets say on the Vimeo site also there are plans for a version of mobile of Thunderbird? I am an avid user of Thundrbird and would like to have on my Android phone.

  Mobile Firefox should work on this phone given specifications. Although we have not tested specifically on this phone.

  Firefox 11 will support Flash player Android. The Flash Android player is somewhat limited. Although going to the bottom of the Vimeo mobile page and clicking the page view desktop version allows me to play the video on their site. Deleted and panoramic frames is not surprising but I'm testing on a phone with similar specs that you look at HTC G2 (Desire Z).

  The Thunderbird team is a separate group of the mobile Firefox. I don't know what their plans are (if any) for mobile.
