Updated Firefox updated to its latest version 12.0. Now my plugin Adobe Flash freezes and blocks all websites when it is turned on even if it's the latest version.

Today updated Firefox updated to its latest version 12.0. Immediately after the update, I couldn't load most of the sites. The web browser would just freeze. I have determined that the culprit is the Adobe Flash Plugin, however; even with the latest version of the plugin, I always have problems. Any suggestions?

If anyone else has this problem I found a few options that may help you.

I solved my problem by loading Waterfox, which is the 64-bit version of Firefox. I use a Windows 64-bit operating system, so this solution worked perfectly. If you want to download it, it can be downloaded here: http://waterfoxproject.org/

It has also been suggested that I try to create a new Firefox profile. Since Waterfox works for me, I have not tried yet; However, I was told that it allows to solve several mysterious questions of Firefox with Flash. The directions for this can be found here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

I hope everyone can solve their problems of Flash Player and I recommend using the Adobe Forums as well. People there are very helpful.

Good luck!

  • 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 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:

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

    No one can promise that this kind of block will never happen. If that happens, if you are not accustomed to using the "Request to activate" feature a plugin, 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. You can trust the site for the time being or permanently.

    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.

  • Plugin Adobe Flash keeps crashing, and or refreshing it or Firefox solves the problem.

    I tried to update Adobe Flash and reload also Firefox but nothing has solved the problem.

    You have already disabled the functionality of the protected mode? This feature has the security benefits, but it seems to have serious compatibility problems on some systems. There is a hidden parameter to disable; I suggest to try it for a day to see if that helps you:

    (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste the flash and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (C) double-click the preference dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable - protected mode to change its value from false to true.

    It cannot take effect until all the Flash was discharged for a few minutes, or you close Firefox.

    One of your crash signatures (_SEH_prolog4) reminded me of a thread where a user was very persistent problems with Flash on YouTube if Webroot and LastPass were both installed. It seems that you run Norton, so that the thread is probably not directly relevant.

    Would you consider trying the "Extended Support Release" of Flash version instead of the version 18? Adobe is now updated with security patches, but some recently added features Flash would be absent.

    If you want to try this, you will need to use Adobe uninstaller to remove the current version (link in: Flash Plugin - keep up-to-date and solve problems) and then get version 13.0.0.309 from this page (scroll down about 2/3 of the way):

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

  • Firefox for Android, Adobe Flash Player and Samsung KNOX of conflict.

    Hello.
    I have a Galaxy Note 3. If I go on youtube.com in Firefox, play a video, click on full screen, Firefox will crash and a notification will come with description and title 'prevention information' "a request was forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system... ». This notification is generated by 'Knox Notification Manager', an application that comes pre-installed.

    I know that this problem is probably not exactly lack of Firefox and some other browsers are capable of managing the exact situation even without any problem. You can solve this problem, or is there a configuration I can do to fix this?

    My system info:
    Device: Samsung Galaxy notes 3 (T-Mobile)
    OS: 4.3 Android
    Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.115.81
    Firefox for Android version 26.0.1

    Hi feer56,
    Thank you for your response.

    It is interesting that there is no entry about: page of the accident and it's even more bizarre because I can't recreate the situation more crashing! I made some changes in the settings, maybe it somehow have it fixed...

    Anyway, sorry for that.
    PS: I tried to delete this question, but apparently it's not possible.

  • Re Photo Books - brilliant items 12 and meets all my needs except photo books. I have to buy the full version of Lightroom 5 to use the Photo Book facilities?

    About photo books. Hi I have an old version of Photoshop 6 and 12 elements. Elements of 12 is used pretty much all my editing needs. It has a Photo book, but the model is not brilliant for example that it is clumsy, add captions. I've been watching 5 Lightroom that seems easy to book Photo, but I have to buy the full program of the room light 5 to use? If so, what is the cost?

    If you've ever bought any version of Lightroom, then it would cost you $ 149 to buy Adobe's Lightroom. You may be able to get cheaper elsewhere.

    And it seems of course exaggerated to get Lightroom just for the book module, but if this is really what you want, Blurb (and probably other publishers of books) offer free software to take pictures and turn them into photo albums.

  • I just updated my first at 2015.3. Now, it will not open one of my projects. It is said that they must be converted to the new version and then it does nothing passed. I need help.

    I just updated my Adobe Premiere 2015.3. He says now that all my projects were made in an earlier version. When I hit ok to update to convert to the new version. I have hot ok. Then just a project convert box and not going anywhere after that. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is the cause.

    I'm on a Mac 10.9.5.

    Any help would be received with gratitude that I am now on the ground at the judgment and may not work.

    CC 2015.3 is not an update until 2015 for CC (as it seems). It's actually a separate installation. So you can have it installed next to the CC 2014 and 2015 CC versions of Premiere Pro, if you wish.

    Default cloud creative app to remove older versions when you install new ones as shown here. (Which is a really stupid idea, in my opinion, but nobody asked me).

    If nothing else, you can reinstall any old version that you like. Your subscription to the CC includes all versions of Premiere Pro including CS6, CC, CC 2014, 2015 CC and CC 2015.3. Details to install older versions are here.
