I'm having problems with my daughter's laptop (Dell Inspiron)and the Adobe flash player. She is running firefox. (I am too on our home computer, and have no problems with Adobe, only on her laptop) Whenever she plays games, the flash window is too small, and she cannot enlarge it to do all the actions needed in the games. (I've downloaded the latest version). In some games, right-clicking allows me to expand the window, but as soon as she clicks something on the game and it goes to another part of it, the window returns to the smaller view. And some games right clicking just gives me the settings and about options. I've tried changing the resoloution on her computer, although I knew this probably wouldn't help, and it did not affect the player at all. Any help is appreciated.
I have a similar problem that wasn't solved by the previous solutions. On certain sites, like mlb.com, the flash player is used to look at scores, videos, etc.. but when I use Ctrl++ to increase the screen size the areas that use FP remain the same size - thus creating a gap because everything around the FP window grows but it does not. How can I increase the size of the FP window as well? thanks!
I am having the same problem. It happens when I'm streaming flash videos. The flash video is too small for the frame or not centered correctly. Changing the zoom of the webpage does not fix the issue. I've tried reinstalling flash but that doesn't seem to fix the problem.
I don't know if this is exactly the same problem, but my cafe world game window refuses to show the whole game. The controls on the left side and bottom are covered by advertisements, no matter what resolution I use. Ctrl+ and Ctrl- do nothing useful, full screen vs. reduced doesn't effect this. Ctrl O merely sent me to another entirely different page on the web. I enclose a piccy of my problem, and would love it if someone could come with a solution. Thanks for any help provided.
Thank you for the Ctrl ++ and Ctrl -- It finally worked. For anyone who is still having trouble: It would not work when I had the cursor clicked on the Farmville window, I had to go outside the window and click on the white surrounding area, then hit Ctrl+ three times before my window was large enough to see the gift box and all the other perimeter items that were off the edge before. I don't know how it got so small to start with, it wasn't always that way, but for the last 3 months I haven't been able to use my desktop (the one with the problem) - could only use the laptop. I tried this on the laptop and it works there too! Thanks again! You made my day!
Analyzer works in conjunction with flash player and unfortunately, there is no possible way out here. We have analyzer similar reporting and managing tool called GMS which also uses flash till version GMS 9.2 and this is fixed from version 9.3. With analyzer the latest version is 8.5 and it doesn't work without flash.
The replacement for Analyzer is Analytics 2.5 on prem with Syslog, soon to be updated to 3.1 I believe, not sure why SonicWall have not told you this, N.B. afaik this is only for Virtual appliances ( Hyperv & ESXi ) not Windows.
I know there is the manager in the Utilities folder, and you can uninstall it with that. But this does not look scriptable to me. And I need a deployable method as there are about 300 Macs with it on.
Has anyone tested this yet? Here are some questions I have about this:
Does this block flash content from running in browsers? If not, how would I go about doing that?
Does this script need to be run on a continual basis? It seems like its based on the logged in user so it should run continually whenever a new user/different user is logged in? Maybe have it set to run "Once per user"?
Anyone have anything to report about their experiences with this?
@sanbornc
With no Flash player installed, Apps like Safari will not run any Flash content. However Google Chrome has an inbuilt extension for running flash content, for us this is not turned on by default so Chrome will ask each time to run the extension. If you are running Google admin to manage your google accounts, you can use that to stop the extension from in there.
I've created a smart computer group to show how many Macs have Flash installed, luckily for us we have just moved to Jamf so all our Macs have pretty much been Erased therefore we only have a small number of Macs with Flash installed (Mainly my test Macs). For my settings on the Flash smart group i've used Application Title is Adobe Flash Player Install Manager.app and this has pulled back all Macs with Flash installed.
does anyone know if the rtroutron adobe flash player uninstall script is 100% silent? should the adobe flash player popup appear if a user is logged in at the time the script runs? logged in on another test laptop to see if this popup happens again .
@tcandela It was 100% silent for me. The check portion at the bottom is probably what you're seeing when the install manager is running. I used an extension attribute to determine if it was installed and created my smart group based on that data.

One of the issue that I have which I didn't find any answer is Adobe flash player, I excluded the site from decryption but still after downloading the flash player exe upadte file I get "connection error" from the installation.
And what are you doing with other clients that installed on end points and tries to communicate outside the ssl decryption is breaking the connection because the client doesn't like the interfere or timeouts.
I make an exception for *.adobe.com because of this issue; but you could create a "log-all" URL-Filtering profile and attach that to a test machine and a test policy and see what URLs are actively being hit when you attempt this communication if you want to not utilize a wildcard.
Personally, I think that if was gone in the previous version (1909) because I had removed it then (more than a year ago) , 20H2 should have left it that way, instead of putting it back on and sending me updates to remove it.
even with revised or updated 20H2 ESD/ISO install media image files (like with build 19042.631 or higher), the KB4577586 update for 20H2 is still needed to remove the embedded activex edition of adobe flash (KB4577586 will NOT remove the NPAPI and PPAPI versions of flash as those versions should be removed separately thru flash uninstallers from adobe)
HI Experts.
As it seems that we are still going to use ISE 2.2 for a while now. And the plan for an upgrade will take some time in future. But the browsers are not waiting for us and have already dropped the support for Adobe flash player.
In such a scenario, there are some functions of the ISE GUI that are really needed are not available (TCP dump and Back/restore).
Or CLI commands to give me an idea that I can still do away with the GUI for these two functions.
Is there any workaround for these?
-Not that I am aware of. I believe your only option is upgrade to ISE 2.4 or later since that is when flash dependencies for ISE were removed. Your other option is to stay where you are at, but without certain functions. Id strongly suggest upgrading ISE as 2.2 end of support is June 8th 2022. See the following for more details:
- As stated by others , going to a supported ISE version is strongly recommended , sometimes people spin-up an old Windows7 on a VM for instance with an old firefox version as an in between (transitional) solution.

I just upgraded to Firefox 45.0.1 and I installed Flash Player 21 apparently successfully according to the loader. But when I go to Acorn TC and load on of the shows I follow, Acorn's website reports that I need to load the most recent version of Flash Player.
21 is the most recent version of flash player for Windows 7 64 bit and I have installed it and uninstalled it several times with Firefox and all other software that uses flash player closed. I have even tried this in Firefox safe mode - all to no avail.
When I change that to "Always Activate", Shockwave Flash works fine, so I guess that somehow, during the installation of Adobe Flash Player 21 that setting was switched from "On" to "Off" and I failed to realize that Shockwave Flash and Adobe Flash are one and the same.
