XP, Firefox 5.0, Adobe Flash 23.0.0.207, Facebook. Video will not play. Plugin-container failure maybe? Recently started. Worked.

Windows XP sp2. Firefox 5.0 (last), Adobe Flash Player 23.0.0.207 (later). I completely deleted and reinstalled Firefox and Flash Player since the problem began. I still have the problem.

On Facebook, I am able to play the videos. He was working. I've had this problem before and was able to fix by updating to Flash Player, but that has not worked this time. It seems that this plugin-container is trying to start, but failing. There is no error message.

Can anyone help? Best regards, Fred

Facebook videos can use HTML5 player instead of Flash Player Plugin.

An easy way to see if you can play HTML5 video in Firefox is to go to https://www.youtube.com/html5/ , as should be all blue checkmarks.

Since you have the old EOL WinXP and not Vista or later, you may not be able to play HTML5 without workarounds.

With workaround solutions, you will be able to. http://www.MSFN.org/Board/topic/175591-Enable-MP4-H264-AAC-HTML5-Video-in-Firefox-on-Windows-XP-without-Flash/

  • Once I downloaded the new version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262, I can not play games with my friends on Yahoo Messenger.

    It could be a coincidence, but when I upgraded to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262 I can not play games with my friends on Yahoo Messenger. I know that when I've updated for a reason that I had to try 3 times before it took. It shows that it is updated. I wonder if I have to uninstall and reinstall. Also, I never use Internet Explorer 8 but when I went there to check I found a plug check link there and it showed over there that Adobe Flash Player necessary update but it was an older version and not a Foxfire had updated me too. Now I'm really confused if it causes a problem. I've never had to control Internet Explorer for plug-ins before. Have always just updated to Foxfire since that's what I use. Adobe Flash Player seems to play videos OK not really sure if this is the issue or not. My Java plug-ins have been very well and have been updated some time there, so I know it's not that. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Hey again,
    After hours of reading and checking to make sure I had good things enabled, I did, I gave up and uninstalled the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, they gave me and re-installed and later I had my friend get on Messenger and we tried games and it worked this time.
    For some strange reason when I updated it took me 3 tries before it took. So even if he told me that it has been installed, apparently it wasn't really. Just goes to show you that you can not trust what you see.
    What has really scratching my head was I went to Internet Explorer 8, which I never use more and discovered you can now get Mozilla plug in slip out there and when I did showed that same Adobe Flash Player is outdated but it was to a different version. Not knowing if it would help, I installed a new too and he said it was his understanding that it does not. So I guess you can have 1 version installed on the computer 1 despite 2 browsers different different versions. It becomes too complicated for me. Laughing out loud!
    I work with computers all the time at work but not the technical stuff. If it's something simple, I can guess through it to help someone but it's my first personal computer for me and is a former first, so I got experience using different types. We use the desk at work as well. Personally, I like computers laptops for various reasons. And the mention of people many browsers go way over my head.
    Please answer this question though and you answer back.

  • Video will not play on all Adobe Web sites

    Www.tv.adobe.com and www.adobeforacademics.com videos will not play. I see is "500: internal server error".

    Why is this happening and how can I solve this problem?

    I checked with HER and none of the Adobe sites are blocked and I have the latest Flash installed on the latest version of Chrome.

    Thanks for your help!

    Screen Shot 2015-02-13 at 9.07.17 AM.png

    HTTP 500 is an internal server error.  It seems that our IT people have corrected the problem, as I am no longer see it.

    If the problem persists, it may have something to do with cookies, or a third-party add-on (maybe a blocking ads or plug-in privacy?) which is causing some information on the State of the site to get deleted or corrupted.  You can try to delete your cookies or using the incognito private browsing mode to see if the problem goes away.

  • Videos will not play if Adobe Flash is installed

    I've always used Adobe Flash and never had a problem with it.  When I installed the latest version several months ago, I discovered that videos would not play at all. It's not fair, You Tube either; This is a site I visit. Six months of treaty which was too good, so I uninstalled, went online to look for an alternative and guess what? Playback of videos very well at MOST sites.  Others say that I need to install Flash Player.

    It is confusing, especially since I have no idea why this is happening. At the moment I haven't installed Flash, but I need to solve this problem. Any help would be appreciated regarding ideas, recommendations etc. Thank you.

    YouTube is almost finished with the move to HTML5 (MP4). The reason thay did it must be accessible to viewers to phone and a tablet that cannot use Flash. JavaScript in their pages determines whether a browser has Flash Player, and if it isn't, the page will display the video in HTML5. That's why you see what you're doing here. NOT all websites have done however. Yahoo working on it, just like Hulu, Dailymotion and others. NetFlix is spent reading, which causes its own problems, if you have not INSTALLED SilverLight.

    Add to this mix, Microsoft has published (without any "real world" test) IE 11 almost two months (October 18) and it has been a nightmare to say the least. Pages/Sites do not recognize because they threw a code in it, and... If a page or site may not recognize the browser, he certainly does not plug-ins that it uses. No problem for the HTML5 video that does not require the player, but Facebook Pogo games and many other Flash sites require a browser and plug-in that the code acknowledges.

    Is your browser accidentally IE11?

  • Why the videos will not play in Firefox?

    Videos on the YouTube sites and new will not play. Everything worked last night. This afternoon no videos don't play. I tried the update of Real Player plug-ins, re - install Real Player, install QuickTime, QuickTime plug-ins verification, etc. Nothing works.

    I have uninstall Realplayer and it works now. RealPlayer has been blocklisted by Flash.

  • Since firefox has blocked Adobe flash player how can I veiw videos online?

    My computer and the operating system are archaic - xp - and a very old computer, but flash player ran in the past. Firefox blocks any attempt to update adobe flash player citing vulnerability. And yet, they don't give NO option to watch videos on your tube or any other site. What can I do? I click on the box always allow, but Flash Player is still blocked.

    On Windows XP, you can consider using the Extended Support Release - Flash Player 13.0.0.305. New versions of Flash offer features that Windows XP cannot use - features only available in Vista and more recent operating system of Windows.

    Scroll down about 3/4 of the way to the bottom of this page.
    https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

    Enter the windows > browsers Plugin-> EXE installer version.

    But before you install it, you must first run the uninstall program Adobe Flash to get a clean install of Flash.

  • Adobe Flash Player Version 16.0.0.305 will not install on Firefox 36?

    I have updated to Firefox 36 and watched a YouTube video using flash player. The video stopped so I reloaded the page and it stopped again, an alert pops up saying that the I needed to update the flash player. I knew that I had already updated to Version 16.0.0.305 But it said I have version 11. I tried to update to Version 16.0.0.305, but when installed it installs only Version 16.0.0.257 The Adobe site presents the latest issue of the download version, but it's not which is reflected in the list of the Add-ons Manager in Firefox. I'm trying to understand if it is a problem of Firefox or Adobe Flash. Thanks if you have information or present the same problem.

    Ah, that explains it!  Please perform a new installation as described in https://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315

    All plug-ins are up-to-date and current, have disabled and checked for problem of plug-ins with no result. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, Java, Adobe Flash Player, Real Player, several times with no results. Also uninstalled my software antivirus temporarily without any result.

  • Adobe Flash Player Installer gets stuck "downloading" and will not move forward

    I'm on Mac OSX 10.10.1, using as Safari and Chrome browsers. I've recently upgraded to Yosemite since then, received error messages that I don't have Flash installed. When I download the installer, it gets stuck and will not exceed 30% of "" downloaded. I left for hours, and it's still at 30 when I get back. Is there a permissions issue that I could play with to allow him to continue the installation? Suggestions for what to try to get this installed?

    I was able to download the installation program itself, but the problem is after I double-click on "Install Adobe Flash Player." See screenshot below.

    Hey, if you don't mind, after return the version number of Kaspersky. Most of the users that I dealt with who had KIS, other than the URL Advisor had no problem with that. The fact that you do not have Add ons/plugins/extenstions of KIS makes it more confusing.

    Now one of the AV and I think it's Norton, change the security settings for the Internet Zone. Go to tools, Internet Options and on the Security tab, make sure that it is set to medium.  Then try the video with KIS OFF. Then turn on KIS, try the video and then check your configuration to see if it has been amended.

    Send me the version of KIS.

    Also before you installed KIS, what anti-virus program you have and have you used a program to uninstall to uninstall completely?

    Thank you

    The videos are often in formats other than just that Flash Player provides. The majority of Firefox users use FlashPlayer. There are still a lot of content that need unfortunately, so it depends on what you're trying to watch.

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
    • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you.
