    Hello guys,.

    kindly need help from you guys that I don't know what to do to solve this problem. I tried to uninstall/install flash player and update my firefox, but the error persists.

    Thank you.

    Protected mode Flash Player on Firefox 32 bit is an important defense against malware.  You greatly increase your risk of infection by disabling.

    You'd be much, much better of is either Firefox 64-bit for Windows, which includes a native NPAPI plugin sandbox (we use the Firefox sandbox instead of the one that we had to renovate Firefox 32 bit), or another browser.

  • Firefox does not add the Silverlight or Flash plugins installed

    Since Firefox updated to 17.0.1, the plugins flash and silverlight has simply disappeared.
    I tried to clean install of the flash player, it didn't work. I tried to install clean an earlier version of flash player, what does not work. The plugin Manager is less useless as it says that the plugin has been installed successfully, but I can't use Netflix or any flash video. I did everything above once more with all the plugins and addons disabled, and still nothing happens.

    It gets really frustrating and indeed I plan to switch to chrome after the chain crap, forced updates, mozilla pushed down my throat... Help, please!

    -All right, follow these steps in the following order (even if you already have one of these steps, just try again):

    1. Use http://ninite.com/firefox-flash-silverlight/ninite.exe to make sure Firefox, Flash and Silverlight are perfectly up-to-date. Make sure that Firefox is completely closed before running this program. (It might be useful to download this, restart your computer, then run it)
    2. After installation, restart your PC again.
    3. Open Firefox, type about: addons in your address bar, press ENTER. Go to plugins. Flash or Silverlight appear here? You may need to enable them.
    4. If not, reset Firefox. Refresh Firefox – reset the parameters and modules

  • Why plugins installed without my consent? And why is it so hard to remove completely? Example: Ubisofts Uplay plugin

    Recently, I noticed I have a few plugins installed in my Firefox I didn't even know I had. I remember accepting MS Silverlight and Adobe Flash, but I do not always say Yes at the update of Google and the two versions plugins Ubisofts Uplay. One that I now have disableled and made me write this complaint. I guess that these got plugins installed in Firefox when I installed the related programs. But I never warned that this situation occurs. I didn't even know I had the first plugin installed Uplay who had a big security hole. Who is now disabled by defalt on your side. I have something better to do that in order to check what plugins are installed as if by magic on Firefox.

    My question is why some plugins installed without Firefox notifies the user that it has been changed? In my opinion a browser should not make changes without notification to the end-user, and Firefox should not trust that other programs to do this.

    A small related question is why there is no good way to remove a plugin it completely from firefox? Why is there no button I can click that it clears as if it were on addons. I don't want to risk plugins activate again when updates to firefox, or I have reinstall. When your support suggestion will have to manually change the registry then it is clearly not good enough.

    Firefox does not offer an easy way to uninstall plugins because they are not part of Firefox, but there are other applications installed. Firefox uses only the plugins it detects are installed on your computer, which may include plugins like Silverlight or Adobe Flash that you consent to install as well as other browser plugins that are included with other software, such as QuickTime (included with QuickTime Player) plugin or the plugin Google Update (included with various Google applications). You can visit the Plugin Check page at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ to see what plugins are installed on your computer that are detected by Firefox. This page should include links to the plugin provider. In turn, do a Google search will find more information, such as http://www.ghacks.net/2012/07/17/current-version-of-the-google-update-plugin-how-to-remove/

  • Missing Flash plugin download manual flash

    Windows 8.1, Firefox 34.0, Flash 16.0.0.235

    The problem:

    After the installation process (no error), the plugin will not be downloaded. Firefox search an addon with a suffix of file ".jar" or "xpi" for the manual plugin installation. The download directory is NOT contain a file with a suffix / type of file. The facility reports no errors.

  • Flash player vs flash Plugin

    I'm being diligent to keep all my Adobe products to date.  Flash is expected online but I do not understand what the flash player is against the plugin.  I have several computers that have both installed and want to make sure that everything is on the current version.  So my questions are:

    #1. What is the difference between the player and the plugin?

    #2. When I go on the site of Adobe and flash update it only updates the flash player, not the plugin.  Where is the update the plugin to make it current?

    #3. Is the plugin required even if the flash player is installed?

    Thanks for the input in advance.

    BD

    Hi BD, The Flash Player term applies to all supported browsers. If you see the Flash Player ActiveX in your add/remove or programs and features, this indicates that you have installed in Internet Explorer. If you see Flash Player plugin listed there, it indicates that you have installed in Firefox, Chrome or any other browser supported.

    IE Add ons, there is also the Shockwave Flash Object ActiveX control that works with the Flash files for IE that have been installed and it must be enabled.

    In the FF or other browsers, one would find the SWF vs 10.0.45.2 (latest version) listed and it must be enabled. This is the plug-in, and yes it is necessary.

    When install Flash Player, you need to use IE and install for that browser. Then, if you would like Flash Player installed for Firefox or another browser, then use this browser and install Flash Player for all non - IE browsers.

    The link for non - IE browsers is here that you download to your desktop:

    http://fpdownload.Macromedia.com/Get/flashplayer/Current/install_flash_player.exe

    Hope this helps to explain.

    Thank you

  • Why do I have multiple Versions of Adobe Flash Plugins in FireFox

    Hello

    I used 2 versions of plugins Adobe Flash installed in Firefox at the same time: the most recent version and the previous version that remains behind after an update. I usually disable the old version but sometimes that also affect the updated version, leaving me without capacity Flash in FireFox.

    This week I updated Adobe Flash plugin for FireFox for 12.0.0.43 but was surprised to find out that the 2 versions of Flash also remained. Now, Firefox has 3 versions of plugins Adobe Flash. I discovered the Adobe Flash uninstall program and uninstalled all the Flash of my computer. Surprised when I reinstalled Flash player in FireFox, once again 2 versions have been installed: 12 and 11. I tried to use the uninstaller on FireFox only, but it does not recognize the older Flash, only the version 12 update plugin.

    The recent update of Adobe Flash, version 12, is an update of the "criticism of security." Therefore, I have a little wait to solve this problem. I hope you can help me with this problem.

    Thank you.

  • Why I can't javascript and flash to work in firefox 36.0.4?

    When I tried to log in to Adobe.com , I got an error saying that javascript must be enabled. The help topic, my javascript is activated. When I tried to listen to the new npr, he complained that I need the latest version of flash. I installed and it still does not work. Why can't just open firefox and make it work, as it does in Chrome? I do not have time or expertise necessary to reprogram firefox or my computer, could keep you it simple?

  • Firefox ESR 10.0.12 disables the flash plugin - updates to the latest version do not work?

    Suddenly - without the measures taken by me - FF ESR 10.0.12 refuses to accept Adobe Flash? (System Win 7 Ultimate 64)
    It started with a very boring bar, which cost me 2 hours to turn it off, which told me to update a plugin from Adobe Reader very old and unused. Then, he insisted, that the Foxit PDF reader plugin is not updated. Because I do not use it, I disabled too. Since I rarely use Flash, I just found out today, that youtube does more - FF insists, that my flash plugin is too old and there it turned off.
    It has cost me hours so far and this is _exactly_ the reason why I use the channel of the ESR.
    What I did:
    Have completely uninstalled Adobe Flash (using Windows). Used the normal Firefox update, which he would recommend (your flash drive has been disabled, please install...). Without success, it simply goes in a loop, always telling me that my flash player is too old.
    I also installed directly from Adobe (version Firefox!), in all cases, it reports version 11.5.502.104. The latest version of Adobe-, but it seems to be too old?

    I'm spitting angry now - this kind of disorder is the reason that I only use Mozilla's ESR versions. I don't want your troop of chaos to play with the installation of _my_. But obviously, you have found ways to do it.

    If this is not resolved (and no, I do _not_ reinstall Firefox, I'm not going to delete my profile) in a few days, Firefox is dead to me. I'm already with Chrome and Opera. Many friends have these browsers - I am a bit conservative and I want as my stable browser and look a feeling must also be stable. I do _not_ want a new version every two weeks, which costs each time that my effort and time to configure it as I want.

    The question is: How did you disable the latest version of Flash and why? Why do I now register here and investing valuable time to get my browser to work again? If I had done something, install or remove something, okay. But I did not. (And Yes, so far I have day Flash and other plugins, when I was invited to do)

    Clearly _your_ management works the _not_: if I use solutions which FF itself recommends, it sends me into an infinite loop: install newer Flash, sorry, Flash is obsolete, install latest Flash...

    Is this the new "security"? Bah. If you have done for the 'normal' user (which you obviously don't respect any more), you have not. And you have not completely for me: If software insists on doing things 'automatically', it should make them less reliable, it should ask _or_. But work in the shadows, change things, reports nothing and then failing is exactly the reason why I disable things to "automatic" and want to be _asked_ before some silly piece of c... deconfigures himself - and stops working...

    The following troubleshooting tips:
    At this time, Flash player is installed, presents in the list of systems as "Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin" software, Version 11.5.502.146. The others are my normal plugins. Several changes to about: config were made by me in order to do usable FF again, without harassing the bars 'info '...

    Found: in some sort plugin.scan.plid.all entry disappeared from my setup under "subject: config'." It simply no longer existed.

    After much research and cursing I found and reinstated, with the Boolean value 'true '. Now Flash Player is once again, and it seems to work. The horse is gone. Also, I was able to uninstall the old plugin Adobe Reader and FoxIt Reader plugin, which I haven't used for a long time (format PDF download always locally). It helped, because the annoying nag window went away, and I could reactivate other options that I had to disable, to get rid of a bar/window indicating the information known about a plugin that was disabled and not used anyway. (It started with 10.0.12 update, I think)

    Comment: It's unnecessary _completely_ for me (plugin was the last version of anyway, because he has a service life of update and updates without FF). It took me 2-3 hours of precious time.

    Could you please consider:
    (1) INFORM the user about the problems and not more stupid click me once windows with standard chat text. Even Microsoft, not known for their openness and user information, was able to inform me of updates of _what_ _avant_ I install them and _why_ I should install them.
    2) more information in the windows plugin/extension, so there is no chance of finding problems.
    (3) STOP the condescension and mothering the user, at least as an option, so we can choose it. Because if someday leave FF forever, it will be the main reason. I REFUSE to install automatically. I am _responsible_ to my computer. If someone or something moves for example illegal data on it, I can't use the excuse that this was done 'automatically '. I want to know how, when and WHY an update or something is installed. So please stop this patronizing.

  • Manager tab Firefox Add0ns is incorrectly identify my version of Flash Player installed.

    Firefox calls being installed and up-to-date Flash Player 16.0.0.235. Windows 7 calls the ongoing installation of Flash Player 16.0.0.305.

    You seem to have two different Plugins Flash installed for Firefox.

    Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0
    Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0
    

    Also, don't forget that [ActiveX], Firefox IE Chrome [pepper] and [Plugin] use separate versions of Flash. We need to look the version listed in the "Installed programs" to correct for the web browser you use.

    Take the uninstall program Adobe from here:

    Then download the versions of Flash you need for Firefox and IE here:
