Support URL: adobe flashplayer not working with firefox Firefox Support Forum Mozilla Support recommends installing the 32 bit version of Adobe Flash Player, but I have been unable to do that with your process. The version they mentioned is: 11x32_mssa_aih
The link you reference is from 7 years ago when we used to offer separate 32- and 64-bit installer. Now we only have a single installer that supports both 32- and 64-bit systems. Using Firefox, go to to download the latest version of the installer (note this page contains optional third party software offerings).
Firefox's Web Console lists numerous errors (at least one for each image) referring to the site's Content Security Policy (CSP). Since the requests are made through Flash, I'm not sure how to diagnose that further, but one workaround would be to temporarily set Firefox to ignore the site's CSP. This reduces your protection against alien scripts possibly being run by the site, so it's a good idea to turn it back on again when you are no longer experiencing this problem.
Yeah, in general, the browser will mediate our network requests. If the browser doesn't like it, we're not getting the content back. In general, we suppress error messages in the release target of Flash Player. The ActionScript Debugger variant of Flash Player may provide runtime errors with more detail about the failing requests, but I agree that your diagnosis is in the right neighborhood.
Today I was able view the slideshow in Flickr running on FireFox. Thankfully, I no longer need to use the temporary solution provided at: Why will Adobe Flash Player not work on my win7x64 PC for my Firefox 53.0 (32-bit) browser? Firefo...
I am being asked by a supplier of an online technical test to install a 32 bit version of adobe flash player because the 64 bit version I have currently installed will not work. My environment is Windows 7 Home Premium, IE10. I have visited the Adobe download site, but that merely points me to 64 bit versions.
The online assessment will not work. I suspect it relies on flash to run it. After I log in I proceed through a couple of screens which talk about the assessment. The screen supplies 2 buttons, 1 to start a practice session, another to do the actual assessment. I click the practice button whereupon a small popup window appears with a "please wait" message. This is quickly replaced by an errorpage.aspx which reports an error code. Following a link to an explanation of the error code it tells me this:
"This message is displayed when the connection to the assessment system cannot be established. A firewall or security software may be blocking the test from downloading or one of your browser software components is not up-to-date.
In order to overcome this problem, please ensure your version of Java and Adobe Flash Player is up-to-date. You can download the latest version for free using the below links:
Java: www.java.com/getjava/
Flash: "
In addition to this a link is displayed which helpfully attempts to verify environment setting. It opens another page which lists some current computer settings. Those checked as correct are given a green tick, those in error are given a red cross. Operating system and browser type are OK with green ticks, Flash plugin version and windows media player are marked with red crosses with links next to both to show how to fix them. The flash link takes me to another screen which displays this message:
I decided to try another laptop whereupon it all worked without problem. The other one is also windows 7/ie 10. I have no where they are different so dont know why one works and not the other. The assessment is done so i will not pursue this any longer.

I recently upgraded to ff beta and upgraded my adobe flash player and can no longer view flash in browser. Have tried every combination of installing/uninstalling. Everything is running on 64 bit - most up-to-date downloads. What am I missing?
If you do not see, in Add-ons > Plugins > "Shockwave Flash (version)" in Firefox, then you do not have the 32-bit Plugin version of Flash installed for Firefox. If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
So I installed and ran the 32-bit version of flash and still I get a blank. I have tried disabling graphics acceleration (which I've read may help). Shockwave flash v. 11.2.202.235 is enabled in my plugins. I have no interest in using IE so I'd like to get ff to work in ff. Any other ideas?
Last week I installed the FF update and a few days later, the new Flash update. I immediately started having audio 'stuttering' problems when listening to an audio feed, (Minimized in a separate window or not), and simultaneously scrolling on another web page or even just moving the cursor around. (Remember Max Headroom? That's what everything sounded like.)
With the cfg file edit suggested elsewhere (turn off flash protected mode), starting FF in safe mode (Help>restart with add-ons disabled) takes care of most of my problems, but this can't be permanent fix.
If everything works in Firefox Safe Mode, then you have a conflict with an Extension or another plugin. It should be understood without saying, but if you have the NoScript or FlashBlock extension (or a similar extension) installed, you need to take that into consideration. The ActiveX plugin, no longer used by Firefox, has been indicated as a problem with the current version of Flash. and possibly RealPlayer could be interfering with the newest version of Flash. Both Mozilla and Adobe are reportedly looking into the problems with the current Flash version.
@rvanderm . . . . It would probably help if you could tell what extension you disabled. I've tried everything and still getting nowhere.I can see either YouTube or Facebook videos, but not without disabling things for one the Enabling it for the other.
I don't even have Realplayer on my machine anymore! What I finally did was to download a previous version of Flash, (10.3), from the Adobe downloads page. (Sorry I don't have the link, I just Googled "Download an older version of flash")
Adobe says the older player comes with all the up-to-date patches but doesn't have all the features of the newest release. This works fine for me, but I don't really like being stuck with obsolescence. Very frustrating.
I didn't have RealPlayer on my machine to begin with. When I disabled Shockwave 11.3.XX something, I was than told I have an older version of FF. But I don't care, it now works and I don't have to use IE
Well, after I said FF with flash was working again I discovered it was not on some other sites. Then I noticed I was being told that I had a version of FF that was no longer supported and advised to download the most recent version, which I did, and now everything is working again, with shockwave enabled (when it was disabled I was being told on some sites that I did not have flash installed). Anyway, my problem now seems resolved with the most recent versions of FF (12-1.0) and the latest version of flash/shockwave (13.3.300.265) installed. Hope that helps someone else because I sure spent a lot of time on this.
These instructions are NOT applicable to Flash Player included with Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and later or with Google Chrome on all supported operating systems. Please visit the Flash Player Help page for instructions on enabling (or disabling) Flash Player in various browsers.
I believe that is the Microsoft default support for Flash. The uninstaller from Adobe will not be able to do it, but Microsoft will be providing a patch to uninstall native support from Windows. Right now the patch is only available through the Microsoft Update Catalog, and will become available through Windows Update/WSUS in early 2021. Take a look at the article for more detail: -us/help/4577586/update-for-removal-of-adobe-flash-player
Even though I have the latest Adobe Flash player 11.2 for Linux in Firefox - ref: Flash player security doubts - a particular online flash game still requests that I update to the latest flash player.
To install the latest version of flash player search the Dash (in Ubuntu releases before 17.10) or the Show Applications dashboard (in Ubuntu 17.10 or later) for Software & Updates and open the Software & Updates window. Click the Other Software tab in the Software & Updates window, and put a check mark in the checkbox to the left of where it says: Canonical Partners.
Flash plugin for Linux provided by Adobe stopped at version 11.2. For Chrome/Chromium users there is Pepper Flash plugin, but it's not supported by Firefox/Iceweasel/other browsers. In Ubuntu 16.04 and later browser-plugin-freshplayer-pepperflash from the default Ubuntu repositories allows one to use the Pepper Flash plugin from Chrome in Firefox and any other web browser supporting NPAPI plugins. It works better than adobe-flashplugin in Firefox.
The first is to run the Windows version through Wine, a software emulation layer designed to make Windows software work on GNU/Linux and other Unix-like systems. You'll need a Windows web browser (such as the Windows version of Firefox), with the Windows version of Flash Player.
Or, you could install Google Chrome, as it always has a recent version of Flash, even on Ubuntu. If you choose Chrome, you won't need Wine. This may no longer be an option. See update #3.
Update: I now know of a third way to do this: Pipelight! Pipelight was originally a browser plugin meant to use a fork of WINE to run Microsoft Silverlight. However, at some point, the developers decided to add support for Flash as well. See Here for instructions on how to install Pipelight, and enable Flash Player.
