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!
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.
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.

This occurs in both Arlo and Arlo Pro cameras. While live viewing, an Adobe Flash Player settings box is in every camera when opening for viewing. Inside the box it says "Local storage, Allow Arlo.Netgear.com to store information on your computer". At bottom inside box it has Allow or Deny which you cannot check either. How is this fixed? This only occurs when viewing on our Apple Air laptop, NOT on any other computer, phones or pads.
It's a popup box in the middle of the screen. At the top it says "Adobe Flash Player Settings. Below it says "Local Storage Allow auto.netgear.com to store informaiton on your computer. at the bottom there are two "buttons" Allow and Deny. When you click on Allow, nothing happens.
I get the same thing using Edge and/or IE11 on windows 10 creators update at home. And on windows 7 computers at work running IE11. About a week or two ago, last time I tried the live feeds on my computer, live feeds worked fine in both browsers on both computers. Now I get the pop-up in the middle of the live feed asking to allow or deny flash local storage. You cannot click on either button and the pop-up never goes away.
I tried everything I can think of to fix it. Since it's happening to me on 2 different computers with 2 different operating system and others, even on apple operating systems, are having the same issue, then it seems unlikely to be a computer settings related issue.
Everything I read on this issue ponts to a coding error on the netgear page. Streaming video works for me on both computers for everything EXCEPT the arlo live feed streams. As mentoned above, worked fine a few weeks ago, no changes to either system, now has issues. Live feeds do work fine when viewing thru the app.
Edit: If your not comfortable with changing the flash setting to always allow, you can also leave the setting to ask permission, but then click on the "Local Storage Settings by Site" button > add > type in: arlo.netgear.com > add > set it's setting to Allow. Now flash will still ask permission for any site except arlo.netgear.com.
I'm a desktop engineer, I do this stuff all day long.............. I'm positive it can be changed in control panel. Here is a screen shot from my win7 computer, win10 computer is the same. Notice control panel in the background and the Flash Player (32 bit) applet.
And while yes technically flash is a browser plugin, it still has a control panel applet that you can use to configure it. I suppose it possible a fresh install of win10 may not have this applet, not sure, I upgraded to win10 from win8.1, but every computer I checked so far has the flash applet.
As I mentioned, it's possible that win10 fresh install doesn't have the control panel applet, in which case install Firefox, then install flash for it. I believe that will get you the applet in control panel.
And trust me, I've worked with computers way before DOS. Not sure why the screen shot didn't show, I saw other posts like that, maybe the site is having issues with photos today. Either way I DO HAVEa Flash Player (32 bit) control panel applet on windows7 and on windows 10. I just changed the setting and live feeds are working fine now.
And while the control panel doesn't technically house applications, many applications DO have a control panel applet. Flash does, at least for me. A control panel applet is different from an actual application. They usually allow to to configure OS level or application settings. Many apps have control panel applets.
Yours has a yellow triangle too. Site must be having issues. My win10 and win7 both look the same, with the control panel Flash Player(32 bit) applet. When I get home I'll try and post another screen shot. If you don't have it, see my previous post about installing firefox, then flash for firefox, and see if that bgets you the applet. Or when I get some time I'll search and see if there is a command line or script way to chnage the flash storage settings. Might even be a regsitry key/value.
