I'm tired with blocking of Flash Player whenever there is a new version of Firefox

• HO to prevent blocking of Flash player firefox

  Dear all,

  I can't get Firefox to use Adobe Flash Player 5.0. When I run http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ I still see the message "for your security, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please install the latest version. "The thing is, I have the latest version of the Flash (10.3.181.34) plugin installed. I tried to uninstall the Flash plug-in (including using uninstaller form Adobe's Web site) and install it again (there is no error reported during installation) without effect.

  Here is some more information in case it is necessary:
  + Installed Firefox 5.0 after a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. The computer is on a Windows domain.
  + I copied some files manually (bookmarks, etc.) in the newly created profile
  + I did it when you are prompted to install Flash player. The facility had no effect that Firefox guard asks me to install the plugin.
  + Other plugins work well (I have a limited set of standard plugins).
  + I tried reinstalling Firefox (still an old version 3.6.18) and the problem persists.
  + I manually added the entry "dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll" in about: config, no effect
  + There is no mention of Flash in everything: plugins

  I've exhausted the solutions I've seen suggested in various places on the web. I would be very happy if someone could help me with this problem - I love Firefox, but it is impossible to switch to another browser whenever I need to display Flash content.

  Best,
  S.

  I had what I believe to be the same problem, but with Windows XP. I always seem to have problems with Flash, but has actually been able to solve this one, so I created an account just to pass along what I've done.

  It's pretty simple in the end. I copied NPSWF32. DLL (which was in C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash) in C:\program files\mozilla plugins.

  Restarted Firefox and there he was, even that was updated in the plugincheck.

  I think that there is a problem with Firefox 5.0.1 and the Adobe installer from the Adobe installer seems to reference the Plugin registry key in HKLM\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\extensions (and, in addition, HKLM\Software\Mozilla\Mozilla extensions). Since Firefox 5.0.1 creates a new location, HKLM\Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox 5.0.1 Setup Adobe never puts the DLL file in the right place, because it does not find the key to the plugin to tell him where to put the DLL file.

  You can see this in the Flashinstall.log in the windows system folder. Here was mine:

  0001 [W] 00001037 SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/FlashPlayer/ 2
  0002 [W] 00001036 Software\Mozilla\Firefox\extensions/Plugins 2
  0003 [W] 00001036 Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\extensions/Plugins 2
  0008 [I] 00000014 C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll
  0009 [I] 00000015 C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil10u_Plugin.exe
  0010 [I] 00000017 C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
  0011 [I] 00000019 C:\WINDOWS\system32\FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl
  0012 [I] 00000020 C:\WINDOWS\system32\FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl
  0013 [W] 00001024 C:\WINDOWS\system32\FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl 183
  0014 [W] 00001035 SOFTWARE\MozillaPlugins\@adobe.com/FlashPlayer/Path 2

  Note the references to the extensions/Plugins 2. Those are the registry keys saying the installer where to put the DLL. Adobe should add a 'Firefox Software\Mozilla\Mozilla 5.0.1\extensions/Plugins 2' line to their installation script, or Mozilla must go back to the old registry key.

• My computer/browser blocks Adobe Flash player

  Yahoo Mail has said that my browser blocks Flash Player.  You Tube will also not play videos.  I can co to change this?

  Hi JudyVanlandingham,

  ·         What web browser do you use?

  ·         You receive an error message or error code?

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  If you use Internet Explorer, then follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: I suggest to optimize Internet Explorer (IE) and check to see if that fixes the problem.

   

  Internet Explorer is slow? 5 things to try

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/help/Internet-Explorer/slow-five-tips-to-boost-performance

  Warning: Please note that the reset Internet Explorer (IE) resets all of the settings defined by the user, including those established by the installed extensions, toolbars and other add-ons for IE by default. This includes all the security, privacy and settings area. Also this will erase browsing history, delete all temporary Internet, cookies, form data files and especially all the passwords.

   

  Method 2: I recommend to uninstall Adobe Flash Player, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player and see if that fixes the problem.

• 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.

• Flash Player installs fine, but does not work in firefox

  Adobe flash player doesn't seem to work on my firefox. I try to watch anything that uses the flash and he suggests that install it. I have re-installed flash and shockwave flash as well as firefox about 5 times now. nothing works. It seems to work on Google chrome, but I want to continue to use firefox.

  Searching the Internet has failed me, and I can't find all the topics with solutions.

  I hope someone here can help or at least point me in the right direction.

  I had the same problem you had for a long time until I found this forum Vincent. Little by little, I've collected some clues and I hope not too late to share my research with you. Heres how I fixed thanks to Carl E. Myers, who gave me the answers to identify the problem.

  The way in which I discovered that the problem is when I saw the control/flashplayer Panel noted Carl E, the Flash ActiveX and plugin are not installed as 32 bits in which I will explain later. From what you post, it's very likely your problem as well.

  so here's how to solve this problem:

  http://www.Adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

  1. on this page, you will see

  Download Windows Flash Player (for IE) 11.2 ActiveX control content debugger (EXE, 3.93 MB)

  Download and installation

  2. the same page, you will see

  Download the Windows Flash Player 11.2 Plugin (for Netscape compatible browsers) content debugger

  That should do it. Why?

  Flash from Adobe installed as a 64-bit installation!

  Your computer is a 64-bit, like mine, so that's why ie and firefox are not picking up our installation of Adobe Flash, because Adobe Flash automatically installs on windows system you are running. It's a big problem we users of 64-bit because some applications are NOT 64 bit but more so compatible (if necessary). For example, Mozilla Waterfox is a 64-bit application that is built to our windows and you would see that the flash would work without problem because flash has been installed as a 64-bit. In addition, IE64bit, another proof that should be able to achieve as well, but not to be confused with IE as it is a 32-bit application.

  Plugins and activex controls you have installed are manual installation 32 bit and that you now understand why it will now work for firefox, ie and other browsers 32 bits that needed it. Apples to apples now.

  PS even if which should fix, I highly recommend using Waterfox instead of Firefox because it is surprisingly fast and way better live for your windows.

  Sorry, this is a message from the heart function. She undergoes a bug right now. Better to turn it off if you can get immediate relief.

  To turn off the heart rate:
  Talk openly about: config config in a tab, then search for browser.selfsupport.url and double click on it and set it to an empty value.

  You may need to restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.

• The new version of Firefox 20 is compatible with the Norton Toolbar?

  Best is to ask the support of Comcast directly.

  Are you aware that Firefox 21 is scheduled to be released next Tuesday, May 14?
  
  https://wiki.Mozilla.org/RapidRelease/calendar
  
  Comcast & Norton are already over 5 weeks of delay in the release of a compatibility update for Firefox 20.

  Norton being the update compatibility Firefox 20 for their retail security applications in the 2 hours 20 Firefox being out, my guess is that Comcast is a delaying the update for their version of 'brand' of Norton.

  See this response from a Manager Norton at the forum in support of Norton on April 29.

  
  I apologize for not replying sooner. We're sorry for the delay, and we understand how frustrating this situation has become, however Norton & Comcast are working hard to resolve some recent changes for the Comcast Norton Security Suite. We want to reach a commercially viable resolution together in the best way possible, and do that as quickly as we can. I'll update you on any status change or additional information as it becomes available. Thanks for hanging in there with us.

  I read 'commercially viable resolution' , as they are worth some money, and Comcast is dragging their customers dry for almost 6 weeks now.

• I'm curious, why I have not been notified that there is a newer version of the player?

  !

  I have been using Adobe Reader XI (11.0.12) for awhile now, and only by chance did know that there is a newer version of the Adobe Reader software, I see now called Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (2015.008.20082). As a "passionate" for years, I'm so used to be notified, almost too often, by the software that there is a newer version of the software that I use. I found it just strange that this time I was never notified of a newer version (which is more recent than XI, because of course, I have the latest version of XI). Especially being the standard document for PDF files and such a prominent free program, I was just surprised not knowing a new (and I imagine) better version; one that should probably be updated while I'm updating when the sharing/viewing PDF files with others.

  I'll uninstall Adobe Reader XI and try the new Adobe Acrobat Reader DC now... now that I know it exists!

  Hi Dennis.L,

  Maybe the auto updater is disabled on your system.

  However, I am glad that you were able to install the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

• Obsolete blocking message - Flash Player Plugin between 11.0 and 11.7.700.169 (click-to-play) has been blocked for your protection.

  I can't play Flash videos on any Web site using Firefox 35.0.1

  The latest version of Shockwave Flash is 16.0.0.296 from 2015-02-12.

  The deadlock message is obsolete, because it refers to a set of versions of Flash much earlier.
  All versions of Flash has a vulnerability, or are there some that are actually clean (for more than a few seconds)?

  Can someone fix the deadlock message to reflect the real reason for blocking?

  Where can I find a version that is not vulnerable, or is it a utopia?

  Because 16.0.0. 296 is not aware, because it is vulnerable to exploits criticism proved in nature. The 16.0.0 Flash Player. 305 and 13.0.0. 269 ESR are the current versions of Windows/Mac OSX since Feb 4/5.

  More updates Adobe Flash Player are for reasons of security and stability fixes. However before December 9, Mozilla is not added all versions of Flash to the red list since the beginning of 2013. The reason now is because critical exploits that is in older versions (not with corrections) and Adobe tried to fix with five updates for 16.0 Flash itself since 9 dec. Mozilla only adds Extensions and Plugins versions to list when it is security, stability or malware.

  As to why some receive the old Flash 11 blocklisting I can't say.
