Firefox Support Forum

Hi Team,

As a concern,we want to enquire that since our company has its own product which uses Flash technology but its been known now that firefox will not suppport adobe flash player after 2020. So if we save and continue to use an oder version of firefox(with autoupdate off),will it allow to continue usage of Adobe Flash Player after 2020? Please confirm the same or any other workaround so that adobe flash player can be used within firefox after 2020 as well.

Thanks

I am just a home owner and I use the web for answers to how to do things. I often go to You tube for how to do things I am seeking answers to. I do not play games on my computer. I use Facebook and Yahoo. I am using windows 7 pro, 64 bit. service pack 1. I understand adobe will not be supporting flash after 2020. That is fine with me. I am happy to allow html to step in and take its place. I don;t know any reason I have adobe flash, but I have updated it every time my glarys utility, notified me it found an update for it. I would be happy to remove flash from the computer, if doing so, will not disrupt my use of my computer.

SO, why won't flash update and always wants me to get admin. approval? Why does flash not see that I am signed in as admin? Can I uninstall flash from my computer and do with out it, and not run into hiccups?

I don't want to have to activate adobe flash each time I need to use it but cannot find the option to keep it active in the add on's menu. It's very inconvenient that it has been removed. It should be the Users choice if they wish to take the risk. Is there a work around for this other than a different browser please?

I play a game called battle pirates on facebook in the game we can use the arrow keys to help move our ships they not working in the game plus we can chat to other players that quits working after a min into game have to refresh it all the time to get that to work need a fixe please.

I'm running Manjaro linux XFCE 64bit. I have the latest version of Firefox installed from the Manjaro repositories (69.0.3-1). The flashplugin is also installed from the Manjaro repositories and is the latest version (32.0.0.270-1). In my plugin settings, Flash is set to ask to activate, and I've even tried turning off the "Block dangerous and intrusive Flash content" setting. Most websites that need Flash don't recognize that it is installed at all.

When I use Adobe's tools to check if Flash is installed, (https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html) this page doesn't show the ask to activate plugin in the URL bar until after I click on "Check Now" so their tool shows that I do not have Flash installed or enabled. If I click allow Flash on this page and then refresh the page, it seems like Flash gets disabled for that website again, and clicking "Check Now" once again shows that Flash is not installed or enabled.

Another page to check if it is installed is (https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/) which I found from downloading the flash plugin directly from Adobe in a readme.txt file. This page shows the Ask to activate directly on the Flash content, and when I click Allow, it recognizes that I have version 32.0.0.270 installed.

Most websites with Flash content that I want to use just don't show the Ask to activate prompt and show that I need to install Flash with the link to download from Adobe. I've tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling, then rebooting my computer but that didn't help. This seems to be a reoccuring problem for me on linux, not just with Manjaro, but also Ubuntu, and even with other web browsers based on Chromium, like Brave browser. Does anyone know what causes this or how I can get Flash working on some pages?

Last week Adobe Flash stopped actuating/working with Firefox and there is no black box in the address bar or any place else that I see that asks me to activate it. I have it set as Always Activate on the Plug-Ins page but that isn't helping. I checked and have the most recent version. I had to go through several steps to activate it but it does work in Chrome. I run Win 7 and Firefox is my default browser. Please advise how I can get Flash to work again as it is hampering a lot of my activity on the web. Thank you.

The microphone icon never appears at Google Translate for me anymore, doing Google searches it seems like it's a Flash issue but I never get the option to Allow it (and Remember), or change Flash settings by Managing Exceptions...I have the latest versions of both (64-bit) so I'm wondering what's going on and how to fix it...

When I tried to play a game which I've played easily on Internet Explorer and on Chrome, Firefox asks if I want to go to IE or save the file. When I selected save I didn't know where to save it. Also, why is Firefox not just playing this game?

I am into horse racing and use the Daily Racing Form website from which I can watch live streaming races using Adobe Flash Player. They have a feature called Formulator that I am trying to access but Adobe Flash Player won't bring it up. It starts but will not complete. Flash Player works for both in Windows Edge.

I have used Firefox from the very beginning—well, almost. But over the past year or so a lot of things graphics related simply don't work; or took weeks or months to implement, such as applications requiring Adobe Flash. Now, I have reached the point of changing my default browser to Google Chrome. I really don't have much choice since I have cut the cable-cord, and moved into an area where tall trees block DirecTV satellite signals. Are there any plans in the works at Mozilla to rectify the situation? If so, when? If not, that is so sad.

I went to some website that asked me to run Adobe Flash Player and now ever since I did the videos on youtube wont start playing until I click on them to. I want to set them so they start playing on their own again.

I tried turning on autoplay on youtube, but that didn't help. I tried going to the add-ons and changing to Always Activate, but that didn't work. I even tried Never Activate. I then looked at the Adobe Flash Player settings within the Control Panel, but nothing there helped.

I'm now considering uninstalling the program, but I'm confused, is it Adobe Flash Player that I need to uninstall or Adobe Shockwave Player? And, will this make it so videos don't play at all?

It's really irritating that I have to waste ten minutes every time Firefox is updated

When I try to update my Flash Player I get a message that says Firefox does not support my Adobe flash player. It will not tell me what one to try. It just has a whole list of flash player versions that it does not support. I can't play my favorite game Just Words. That's all I ask of my computer right now that I can not do. I try to play it and it crashes almost every time. It freezes up, wipes the game out or whatever so that I can not play it. I have tried to access Internet Explorer thinking it would let me play my game and when I click on it I get the message Can not find Firefox, etc. I am getting so frustrated with Firefox. My sister's husband said it was the best browser to use so I started using it a long time ago. Now I'm beginning to think I should completely uninstall it and use something else. A lot of the time when I'm trying to play my game it slows and stops working completely. Then I get the very hated message pop up that says, A web page is slowing down your browser, what do you want to do, with the choice of Stop it or wait. I have tried clicking both and nothing works. It keeps annoyingly popping back up and I am sick to death of it. What is wrong and what can I do to fix it please???

Running Firefox 64bit version. So far, any Firefox after v63.0.3 won't allow Citi-Bank citi card virtual account numbers to function. Virt. acct #s uses Flash. I have flash enabled, but the virtual account number screen starts to build then just stops with no error message. I can then uninstall the newer version of Firefox and reinstall v63.0.3 and everything works just fine. Have not tried using the 32bit version of Firefox, but am considering switching to see if it works. For safety reasons, I prefer to use virtual (one-time) credit card numbers.

Flash Player 32.0.0.101 Firefox v64 (64-bit) Windows 10

With this configuration Flash content does not work.

On Windows 7 Enterprise, the same version of Flash Player and Firefox

It looks like it is trying to load under Windows 10 but ultimately what is displayed is a blank screen.

Is anyone else running Windows 10 with Firefox and Flash Player and getting it to work. I cannot post the URL because the application is a inhouse application and requires logging in.

In the past, I've been able to use a site that requires Adobe Flash to run but, now it does not load the page information I need.

Now when I select Adobe Flash to run, the page does not get loaded with the information for that site. How can I fix?

I am unable to stream xfinity on Firefox.

I do have the latest version of Flash installed. The icon does come up in the address bar and it asks me whether I want to allow Flash to run. I click on allow and nothing happens.

I can run these streams using all the other popular browsers.
