Mozilla blocking flash and shockwave players

• Flash and Shockwave Players problem?

  Had installed Flash and Shockwave without incident. All of a sudden, I started to see messages indicating that I need to be or to view a particular site. Checked "all programs" and any site on the list. However, programs appear in Control Panel under files to remove. Page from Adobe where you can check if a program is installed shows two installed programs. Restalling attempts appear successful, but still programs do not display in "All programs" and still receive messages that the programs must be installed. In Control Panel I see Adobe Flash Player11 Pliug in Adobe Flash Player 12 Active X and Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0. Not a powerful computer user. What Miss me? Using Windows 7, IE 11.

  Flash Player is a "plug-in", NOT a soft, so you will NEVER find it in the folder program files or in the start menu.  The two physical files in C/Windows/System32/C:\windows\system32\macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/C:\windows\system32\macromed/Flash.

  But...

  IE11 is a 'rolling Train wreck. " Combined with 8.1 it is, without a doubt, the worst bunch of garbage to EVER come out of Redmond, WA. Even with WIndows 7, it's a mess, but not ALL THE TIME as it is with 8 or 8.1

  MS has deliberately changed the "User-Agent strings" to make it almost IMPOSSIBLE for pages and sites ID it. (See: Screwed of IE11 up channels User-Agent)

  The pages may not recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication they have any plan to address it quickly.

  Recommendation from Microsoft is to use compatibility view for the relevant pages and "pretend" you are using a different browser. Problem with that is it has been a success limited at best, and you will need to activate individually for EACH page that has problems.

  I'm not big on "pretend" so I recommend you to use another browser.

  Firefox (from Mozilla)

  Opera (from opera)

  Safari (from Apple)

  Chrome (from Google)

  NO one who will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player plug-in (for all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't have same because it has its own plugin Flash Player built in.

  Thanks in advance.

  Mozilla has no soft-blocked all versions of Flash Player since October 21 as you can see at https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/

  https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
  Flash Player 19.0.0.245 (Mac and Win)
  Flash Player 18.0.0.261 ESR (Mac and Win)
  Flash Player 11.2.202.548 (Linux)

  The above versions is always the current since Nov. 10.

• updates to Flash and shockwave

  Both versions of adobe on my old computer products have not been updated for 1 year or more. Flash update would install not, must I install every update in the order since ver 10.3.183.7 and worm 11.5.9.620?  Thank you.

  Hi benniebitme,

  No, you should not install each update since version 10.3.183.7. You can directly install the last version 11.5 of: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer

  In case you encounter installation problems, you can follow the steps in th mentioned in the following KB doc: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html

• Yahoo said firefox blocks flash

  I X10.7.3 of the OS and the latest Flash, but he says always firefox blocks flash when I'm in my yahoo email. How should I do?

  Here is what happened: last week, Adobe updated the way they report the Flash version (no Firefox version but the Flash version) as part of a Flash update. It seems that Yahoo Mail didn't update their code to properly control and so it seems (for them) that Flash does not work (they can see that you have installed but does not have the code to check version).

  As you probably figured out, you're not actually blocked Flash and this must be affixed to the side of Yahoo.

• Given that you have blocked Adobe Flash and I uninstalled as suggested by many commentators, what are my options to see the content I want to see?

  Yet once, now that Adobe's Flash problems are everywhere the news what are my options to display the content on the sites that were previously used by Adobe Flash? I uninstalled Adobe Flash, but need an alternative. Thank you!!!

  Mozilla had 'soft-blocked' version 18.0.0.203 and earlier, which still allowed you will activate Flash on websites of that trust.

  If you are not accustomed to using the "Request to activate" feature with any of your plugins, here's what to expect:

  When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

  If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click on the Lego-like icon in the address bar to allow Flash.

  But some pages use Flash only for tracking or play ads, so if you do not see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification. It will just sit there in case you later want.

  Until this ordeal of previously unknown security flaws shakes, you might want to try this and see how it fits. To set the Flash "Ask to activate", after you have reinstalled it, open the page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Search 'Shockwave Flash' and always change 'enable' to 'ask to activate '.

• How to stop Firefox blocking Flash once and for all?

  I have the latest version of Adobe Flash and Firefox insists on constantly to block it.
  I tried the thermostat settings in advance however that they do not make the choice to stop it completely.

  I don't want to switch browsers, but the East is frustrating.
  Thank you for all the solutions.

  Adobe has released an update today to solve critical problems, he admitted were in the 18.0.0.203 version. You can get 18.0.0.209 on this page:

• What Flash player and Shockwave plugin different?

  Do I need to install the plugin for Shockwave? I can play games online and some are asking for Shockwave?

  Flash Player and Shockwave Player are two different entities.  The confusion often starts because the Flash Player plugin is called Shockwave Flash internally.

• a web site that I use every day tells me that I must now download flash and enable the java script, how can I do this?

  I use the American family site every day, and today when I went to play the games that I play every day instead of the game coming to the top, a notice that says I have to install flash and activate java script in order to see these games.

  You do not have the Shockwave Flash 11.0 r1 plugin so Flash should work.
  
  You can test here:

  • http://www.Adobe.com/software/Flash/about/

  That leaves option that you've blocked JavaScript.

  Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

• now that you've blocked flash, why is right for me?

  summer saw questions with videos, a good part of the day. now that you don't want flash, why it would be good for me? Why should I keep Firefox?

  Due to a vulnerability declared in Flash 18.0.0.203, soft-blocked Mozilla version this version of the plugin. Therefore, you need to turn on on trusted sites to use instead of being able to set Firefox to allow all sites use Flash automatically.

  I use the past tense because Adobe has released an update today. You can get the version 18.0.0.209 on this page:

  https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

  In the first table, find the row corresponding to "browser plugin", and you can use either the EXE or the MSI installer.

  Then back to normal, things should be.

• I have firefox I put in player17.0.0 flash and I can't see vidios on utube or play games on facebook or zynga. Why not? What should I do?

  When I was asked to update my flash player, so I did, I was playing farm town 2 on Zynga. When I did, I went to play my game and the image would not return. The site came, but the game would not load completely so that I can play the game. I'm went on You tube to play music videos and the videos would not play. I went to my WWE network to see if I could look at him and I could not watch anything there either. I can not even play my games book face. I loaded and unloaded flashplayer at least a dozen times or more, and I still can't get anywhere. I can also do not charge any old version of flash player. What should I do?

  First of all, unfortunately, pop-up message on the Flash updates while you visit Web sites can often install malware. If you notice any strange behavior then please complete your plan of regular safety with some freedom to scan/cleaning of the tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware.

  Secondly, your "more details of the system" does not show the 'Shockwave Flash' plugin, so it can be disabled. You can check on the page modules, either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Search for "Shockwave Flash", and if you find it, change permission to 'never activate' to 'ask to activate '.

  If the plugin is not there, you can check the following folder to see if you find this file on the system:

  File: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
  File: NPSWF32_17_0_0_188.dll

  I also noticed something odd: you said Windows 7, but your Firefox means Windows XP. Could clear you any parameter of backward compatibility on your shortcut to Firefox. Here's how, either:

  • Right click of your Firefox shortcut on the desktop > properties
  • right click on your icon of Firefox taskbar pinned > Mozilla Firefox right-click > properties

  In this dialog box, open the Compatibility tab and make sure that nothing is settled here, so Firefox can take full advantage of Windows 7.

• Why the hell you block flash?

  For a few days, you have been blocked flash for "security reasons." Can not simply give a freaking message and let that be us? Hell, you really want people to leave your for Google Chrome?

• Flash and Silverlight don't work at all in beta 34.0, when Internet Explorer is working correctly with these; immediately arrived with Update Beta 34.0.

  Hello!

  Immediately after the Update Beta 34.0, Silverlight and Flash, completely stopped working in Firefox. I am running Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 2.

  They work fine in Internet Explorer.

  This happens in any website I want.

  For example, I can go on Youtube and the page will display a black box where the video should be, but there is no control of playback, or any way to activate the video. Clicking in the black box has no effect.

  On the site of game music, Grooveshark, the site does not recognize Flash installed at all. (If you have not installed Flash, this site displays a message each time. Grooveshark correctly recognizes that Flash has been installed by Internet Explorer.)

  I've updated the Flash plugin for the current version, which also has nothing.

  I have not reinstalled Firefox, or do a system restore, still.

  I just bought a new computer I was going to migrate to and withdraw from this computer, so I wasn't going to make heroic efforts to solve this problem. I reported this more on the order of a bug report.

  Thank you.

  Karl

  Karl,

  Do you by chance have Flashblock installed? I had checked before and did turn off but it seems was not enough. Update b 34, 1 break Flashblock who, in turn, breaks Flash and, for me, VLC. I had to disable (in Add-ons) and restart Firefox, and now everything is fine.

  I found this while digging for answers on the Mozilla forums and eventually find http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23 & t = 2881007
