Can You Download Adobe Flash Player For Android Phone
Catarina Marsalis
Although I got a brand new up-to-date LG phone with the Adobe Flash Player already installed and updated , whenever I go to a web page that requires an updated version of Adobe Flash Player it sends me to a link and when I click on it it tells me that my device does not support Adobe but then I go to look at my Adobe Flash Player in my apps it's updated and running properly
There is absolutely no alternative I'm afraid, if the web site is designed to use Flash Player. In this case it's the web site that's old fashioned, as it won't work on anyone's phone, and it won't work on a lot of computers. I'd advise you to find a different site, or complain to the site maker.
Flash for Android is discontinued. Pretty amazing you got an ancient version in a new phone at all - it was cancelled over 6 years ago. Don't expect to be able to use modern Flash content anyway, and Flash Player itself is going to be removed from even Mac and Windows within 2 years, according to Adobe. Seek alternative sites without Flash.
Wow,that tells me how truly braindead and out of date I am in these things. Is there a free version of an app or product you could recommend that compares to flash player? I'm using it in a broadcast situation and the web site suggested flah player but obviously that's not going to work. Anything you can think of in comparison, if you would be so kind as to give me a much needed shove out if the stone age here!
I advised all my application users to use Puffin since 3 years now as I have no time and budget to reprogram zillion lines of code to the ugly javascript (damn I hate this language;)) and no one complained about it.
While Flash Player hasn't been supported on mobile devices for over 4 years, saying "it won't work on a lot of computers" is rather misleading as it continues to be supported on desktop systems, and will continue to be supported until its EOL at the end of 2020.
I've not heard of wide-spread corporations disabling Flash by default. However, browser vendors have disabled it by default, forcing user's to enable it, usually on a per-site basis (e.g. Edge). We publish tech notes on how to enable Flash on the various browsers. These are linked to at Flash Player Help
There are millions of Flash installs daily. Google and Microsoft have been embedding Flash in Chrome and IE/Edge, respectively, for years. I suspect the Flash forums would be a lot busier than they are if it didn't "work on most computers"
If you're experiencing issues on a particular site and/or platform, we'd be glad to look into it. Just start a new discussion topic, providing os, browser, flash version, direct link to content, and a description of the issue.
Update: Firefox for Android now includes supports for Flash content. You'll need the Adobe Flash plugin, which is no longer available in the app market, but you can still download it directly from Adobe. For details, see How do I watch Flash videos with Firefox for Android?
Hi mbrubeck - I know that HTML5 is supposed to be the way forward, but I'd like to echo brysil's thoughts. Android is becoming hugely popular and there's many web sites that will still use flash for their content for the next few years. Most of the sites I visit, for my job and for pleasure, use flash. Though the browser that comes with android already supports flash, I'd REALLY like to use Firefox as the snyc is great and it would make life so much easier. If you guys would pursue getting a flash plug-in, I think Firefox would soon become THE browser for Android.
Awe man, I was so excited when I discovered my favorite desktop browser was available for Android. My first thought was replacing Dolphin HD which I love but it is a bit slow. But with no Flash then it is almost no use for me. I guess I will stick with Dolphin as my default and the stock browser (both of which support flash on my EVO) for its quickness until Firefox gets a Flash plugin ready.
I just wanted to also show support for a future Flash support. I really like the Firefox mobile browser, but am unable to use it as my primary because of this limitation. Thanks for the answer, and I look forward to its support.
Very disappointing, I was set to make Firefox my default browser until I discovered that it does not support flash. I guess I will have to go back to Dolphin which does support it. You need to fix this quickly as there are still too many sites using Flash. Support for Flash was one of the reasons I did not opt for an iPhone and chose Android instead when I left Windows Mobile.
very very disappointing.... I think no one will use it if it does not support flash. Mozilla firefox is a very popular browser in PC but it is quite embarrassing the Android version lacks the Flash Supprt. Uninstalling it now.
I really don't mind not having flash on my mobile phone. I mean what's so bad about having to play videos in the youtube app. And then who needs flash games when we have the whole android market. As controlling as apple and wp7 are, they had a good reason for keeping flash off of their phones. It just makes everything laggy, and who wants those flash ads anyway?
very disappointing mozilla! I really love using firefox on my pc and mac and was excited to use it on my htc evo. i honestly might go back to using my native browser because it has flash capabilities. hello, how do you expect me to piss off all my buddies using iphones if I can't bring up a flash website? ;-)
What good is a browser without Flash these days. Just about everything has Flash content. Why even bother releasing stripped down more limited browser that's substandard to the included Browser app? I think someone jumped the gun a bit on this one.
Very, very disappointing. I have been anticipating the release of FF for Android on my Milestone for months and months and months. FINALLY Motorola releases Android 2.2 with Flash support, and Mozilla drops the ball on having Flash in the Android version of FF.
That's too bad. I was starting to think you guys were back in the game. You know, since there are so many other browsers that we can use that DO work with Flash. It was running so fast too! I guess I'll be heading back to Miren now. Or Dolphin. Or maybe the stock browser....
Oh yes, and I forgot to mention that it should be made clear to Android users not to download this if the Flash is not available. I downloaded it, and then removed it. I am sure that us Android users want to limit the amount of downloading and removal procedures on our phones, as it may mess up the registry. Thanks!
No, it won't mess up the registry, because there isn't one. Android is based on Linux, not Windows, so apps are self-contained. When you uninstall one, it's gone, save for any resources stored on the SD card.
Anyway, Opera Mobile also supports Flash, and the default behavior is click-to-load, so it sort of has a built-in ad blocker, too. I prefer its interface and user experience to Dolphin's, which feels kind of clunky to me.
It is now 7 Jan 2012 and STILL flash does not work on Firefox in Android!!!! Using Opera a lot now and going to check out DolphinFirfox has gone steeply downhill recently in other areas too - Bye Firefox.
A year ago it was Firefox 4 and they were 'working'on a flash solution. It is now Firefox 11 or so, a year later and still no Flash.I understand that there are security concerns with Flash but other browsers seem to cope so why not Firefox. If there are indeed security problems, then is not a company as big as Adobe not busy fixing them?17 Feb 2012
It looks like you're using an ad blocker, so you'll have to wait 15 more sec.

As we all know that Adobe Flash Player is one of the most widely used tools for delivering audio and videos. But unfortunately, Adobe Flash Player can't support iOS devices. Although more and more sites using other ways to play videos instead of Adobe Flash Player, there are still some websites, games, and web apps still using Flash. In that case, what things we can do to play flash on iPhone? Or is there any flash player for iPhone we can try?
