Problems of updating Flash from Adobe

I constantly get popups saying "firefox has prevented the obsolete plugin adobe flash of opening", but I can't seem to update the plugin.

I tried to go through firefox for the website https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ , but all I get is a spinning wheel. I tried to clear my cookies and refreshing firefox to fix it, but I always get the spinning wheel so I can't update my plugins via the Web site of firefox.

Then, I went and downloaded the update directly from Adobe, but when I try to install I get an error message saying "your internet browser microsoft explore includes the latest version of adobe flash player" and it won't let me complete the installation. I checked that firefox is my default browser, but I still get the error message.

I looked through many discussions on this help site, and nobody seems to have these two problems. They can update via the Mozilla Web site after updating to Firefox, or they have the fixed problem when updating through Adobe.

I'm in Windows 8. Thank you

Looks like you were trying to install the ActiveX version that is only for IE and not the version of database plugin for browsers like Firefox/SeaMonkey.

Plugins like Flash, Java, Shockwave etc are installed on the system and not in Firefox and Firefox makes use of these Plugins.

    Hi, if you have XP/SP3 and using IE8 and FF. I would not be updated for FF 3.6.15 yet since this can complicated additional questions.

    However, the upgrade from IE6 to IE8 and install SP3 are the two major updates. One of those who could have caused the glitch in Flash Player, because it works in browsers. So it makes sense that you should have to install FP even in IE8.

    Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Open Flash and after return the files listed here. NPSWF files must be opened with a right-click, and then click Properties to get the version numbers.

    Using IE, go to tools, manage Addons and under "Show"(very light text) is Shockwave Flash Object installed, active and this is the version 10.2.152.32? "»

    FF, navigate to the plugins and is the active Shockwave Flash plugin?

    The Shockwave Flash object and the Shockwave Flash plugin are the controls for Flash Player.

    Let us make sure that we have Flash Player and the required browser addons installed correctly before addressing other issues.

    Thank you

  • Download Flash from Adobe site is watered?

    For some reason, my Flash update checker does not always reliable or within a reasonable time, so I regularly check new versions of Flash by going to control panel > Flash Player > advanced > check now.  He said that 10.3.183.10 is available.  I had 10.3.183.7.

    OK, so I go to control panel and uninstall the Active X and plug in and go to www.adobe.com, scroll to 'Download' and click 'Adobe Flash', just as I've done dozens of times before, to get the new version.

    However, this time he tells me that the 11.0.1.52 version is available, and I get a 404 'not found' error when trying to download.

    The same thing happens when I try to get the plug-in for Firefox in Firefox.

    Now, I have no flash on this computer.  I have XP SP3.

    What is going on?

    Thank you.

    I can't you what is happening. My guess is that it is a small problem of coordination due to the fact that Flash Player 11 is about to be released.

    As for now, I have correctly download Flash Player 11.0.1.152 from the standard download page.  I have not tried to install it again; I'm waiting for all the sites of official download (Adobe.com) to show the 11.0.1.152 version.

    For now, I suggest that you download the 10.3.183.10 from the links in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580

    I keep an eye on the situation and publish updated information as soon as it is available.  I will try also to attract the attention of some of the Adobe Flash Player team.

  • Why Firefox telling me to update Flash Player, Adobe Reader and Firefox, when I have the updates on my laptop?

    I use windows 8.1. I have the latest version of Fiirefox, Reader and Flash, but Firefox repeat myself that I have to upgrade to the latest version. Why?

    I wouldn't worry Adobe Reader. If the help > check updates inside your said XI player you are current, as far as I'm concerned, that's fine. Plugin Checker shoot always allows you to get the latest version, but Adobe still provides security for Reader 11 updates, and since the radically different interface of the CD player, certainly, won't that everyone's favorite, I think that will continue for some time.

  • Why can't play more than 90% of video clips (YouTube, etc) that people send me, though even I have the last reader flash from adobe etc.

    Usually what happens is I click the link, and generally the vid will begin charging. Sometimes it will even start to play. But then it stops and nothing more. I was getting messages that I needed a new edition of Adobe Flash Player, but which is not the case since I've upgraded to the latest version of Firefox (27?). This happens not only with video links that send others. I often look at stuff myself; and more often than otherwise will not play video. I tried to uninstall and reinstall (not Adobe) different flashplayers, but nothing helped.

    If you use extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) which can block content (e.g., Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that these extensions are not blocking content.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • YouTube problem after updating flash - once again?

    People,

    I have 27.0 FF and have simply been "stung" with this new FLASH extension.

    I can't read the youtube movies.

    I tried "TRUSTED" sites, but it was to get the work of the FOX TAB.
    I do youtube...?

    I tried 'Application policy' as a 'anti-suivi' but it caused more trouble than I liked, so I disabled it.
    But at that time, I've updated the FLASH player. Ridicule me.

    So I'm stuck with how to operate youtube?

    I tried to download Real Player, but it isn't a PLAYER in firefox - I can solve.

    All the other posts on this topic are from last year, so as much as they are "valid", I don't see how they apply to the PRESENT case.

    Thanks in advance.

    UPDATE:

    Don't know what happened, but now that everything works.

    Go figure.

    Sorry people, I cannot give you all the details, because I don't know what happened to make it work.

    Updated to Snow Leopard from Leopard on Mac Pro with 4 HD and 12 GB of RAM.

    Follow the instructions in the Web site for the upgrade to the new driver from HP.  When I click on the HP utility now I get the error message:
