Shockwave flash

Hello!
I have a problem where the SWF files them won't open in firefox, IE works fine, but not for firefox for some reason which I cannot explain in detail, but I will try with a few photos as aid.

https://ImageShack.com/i/exOUUG2vp (Fig 1)

If you look at this photo (photo 1) you see two lines for SWF applications
n ° 1. It's 'SWF-fil(application/x-shockw)' and
n ° 2. It's "SWF-fil(application/x-shockwave-flash).
as I see it the first looks as if it was bad somehow (not sure though). and if I try to open a local SWF file with firefox it just ask me if I want to "open file" or "save file" when the parameters is as the first photo.

https://ImageShack.com/i/expW5N8np (Photo 2)

In this image (photo 2), I made a change the parameters of how to treat the "SWF-fil(application/x-shockw)' by saying 'Use Internet Explorer' which then works as it works in Internet Explorer first. but it won't work in firefox always (of course because it does not open in firefox with this setting).

https://ImageShack.com/i/idPtfJhNp (Photo 3)

What I think is that it must use the one that is highlighted on this photo (photo 3), which is the second "SWF-fil(application/x-shockwave-flash)", since that's the make use of the flash plugin, which, in my view, is the first condition in the list during the second and thus cancel the opening of local SWF files in firefox , I don't know if this may be something else causing this problem.

I hope this information is useful to solve the problem. I don't need an answer unless it's something I can do myself as something reset or similar.

I have not tried in safe mode, but I don't think it will be a different result. All I ask is that someone more closely and see what can go wrong and see if they can fix it since I really haaaaate use IE for some reason any, no matter how small or large, the reason.

I'm not the kind to respond quickly if I get an answer, if I reply to everyone, so don't expect won't not me to be necessary to answer your questions if you have one, but I think with my information and images included in my explanation, I'll try to come back here and the eye/response however...

I hope that this can be corrected because I love firefox as my default browser.

Thank you!

  • When Shockwave Flash is activated it causes flash videos trolling

    I just got a new laptop (Acer) with Windows 10. In Firefox 42.0, all youtube videos play fine (because of HTML5, I guess), but the Flash videos trolling. I put Shockwave Flash plugin list for 'Never activate' that corrects the laggards. But now some videos on other sites are not at all because they need Shockwave Flash (they also staggered forward, for your information).

    What do you think is the problem? Of course I want to have it turned on all the time, but without any delay.

    I found the problem. It was crappy Acer CPU. During playback of Youtube videos that Firefox took the CPU to 95% most of the time and with the Flash it was even worse because of Firefox and Flash player running at the same time.

    So my problem must be fixed by buying a cell phone better. That's what I get for assume that all laptop these days can run Youtube videos.

    Thanks for the help, and I hope what I found helps other people also have this problem.

I found an other add-on called "Video without Flash", he told me to remove 'shockwave Flash' I did it, now I can't any video on the site of greeting card.

    Impossible to always select "activate" on the Shockwave Flash plugin since the upgrade to Firefox 39 today.

    After opening a page, Firefox gave a warning that "Shockwave Flash is vulnerable and needs to be updated". I went to get.adobe.com and updated to 17.0.0.169, but the warning was repeated and the blocked content.

  • Why have I not two versions of Shockwave flash?

    In the Add-ons Manager, I have two Shockwave Flash plugins, one is the latest version and the other is an outdated version.

    Your system details list shows several Flash plugins.

    1. Shockwave Flash 11.8 r800
    2. Shockwave Flash 18.0 r0

    You can find the installation path of the plugins on the topic: plugins page.

    You can view the installation folder of Flash player for multiple Flash player plugins and delete older versions of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re) install the latest Flash Player.

    • (32-bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
    • (Windows 64 bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\

    If there isn't that one Flash version presents then try to delete the pluginreg.dat file in the Firefox profile folder and perhaps as well to reset addons.sqlite the plugin registry data bases.

  • Try to update Shockwave Flash; It downloads, but when I click on install; the connection fails? WHY not the connection?

    Update of Adobe Reader, Shockwave Flash and Java used to be so easy... until a year ago. Now, I hate when I run the Plugin Firefox check, only to see the UPDATE. I seem to be able to download ("initialization") the app, but when I go to INSTALL (I hope I have the right words), it indicates that the CONNECTION FAILED. Try again. THE CONNECTION HAS FAILED. CLICK FINISH TO RESTART THE INSTALLATION PROCESS. It became a cycle without end I contacted my internet provider (and going through their process of reboot) I'm connected to the Internet. I disabled my anti-virus prgm and my firewall; nothing seems to help. Last time I could actually INSTALL one of the programs/applications above, I did it with the help of ' solving problems when you use Firefox "... and who let me download,... but I can't find a selection like this now... it's why I write for Firefox/Mozilla.
    I have been using Firefox for about 5-6 years now, and I love it! Except for these issues. I'm not a dummie, but not a geek either... I just need help.

    You have a version 17 for what is very recent and are perhaps the most recent and up to date. The latest version is currently 17.0 v. 0.188

    There may be some small problem with the auditor to update Firefox rather than with your updates.

  • Shockwave Flash 17 and 16

    When I put Shockwave Flash 17 'ask to activate', automatically, it does the same thing for Shockwave Flash 16. When I put 16 to "never", it changes from 17 to 'never' too. I don't see a way to remove Shockwave Flash 16. I use this on Firefox 37.0.1 on Windows XP. On another computer with Windows 8, same version of Firefox, only Shockwave Flash 17 shows in my plug-ins, probably 16A disappeared when I upgraded to 17.

    Sometimes Adobe updater is not able to remove the old version during the installation of a new. Although the cleaner approach is to remove all THE Flash system using uninstaller from Adobe because it also cleans the errant registry entries, you could remove the old plugin manually as a quick fix file if you wish.

  • Why should I firefox SHOCKWAVE FLASH plugin?

    I think it may cause apple to break spinning ball. Can I remove it and avoid spinning ball? If so, how?

    Flash player is a software developed by Adobe , who use many video websites, games, and other items. Flash player can cause slowness, causing many accidents and often has security problems, but use enough sites that its not really possible to avoid it. YouTube, for example, went to a new technology to play videos which is no need of flash player, but facebook always uses the flash drive for many features. So, Yes, we should probably keep it.

    If you wish, you can choose which websites to allow a flash drive work on a per-site basis. Come on in "subject: addons" in the address bar, click on the 'plugins' tab and look for what is called "shockwave flash" or similar. In the drop-down next to this menu, you can choose "ask to activate. In this way, firefox will ask you before you run flash on websites, so you can use flash when you want.

  • Projection Shockwave Flash as v16.0.0.287's plugin check but he updated the current 16.0.0.305 and restart Firefox (v36.0) do not change the situation.

    Shows a check as v16.0.0.287 Shockwave Flash plugin, but it updated the current 16.0.0.305 and restart Firefox (v36.0) do not change the version number or status when rechecking the plugins. Control of Adobe and the Flash Control Panel website confirms 16.0.0.305 is installed. All the solutions to this?

    I noticed in the information in the topic: plugins page under Shockwave Flash, path: line was showing.

    < path: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_16_0_0_287.dll,C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_16_0_0_305.dll >

    For outdated version 287 .dll file was still there and listed before the current version of 305. I deleted the 287 .dll version and restart Firefox and check the plug-ins again the problem seems to have been resolved.
