First of all, please excuse me for my English.
A few hours ago, I booted up my pc and Windows asked me to update flash player version.
After that, flash player stopped working on Firefox.
I downloaded standalone uninstaller for 64 bits, then installed Flash 11.1.102.55 for IE and Flash 11.1.102.55 for Firefox.
Everything went ok in IE (both 32 bits and 64 bits), but Firefox still not working.
Flash was working with no problems in Firefox before updating.
Please help me with this problem.
Thak you
Juan Manuel
My problem with this version of flash player is in Firefox. Whenever I click on the volume control (slider bar) on the site that I am viewing a video, a pop-up appears from Adobe Flash Player Settings. The message says that a website wants permssion to store information on my computer but it doesn't say what the information is. Then it says that it is currently using 12 KB of storage space and it is requesting 2 MB. Then it wants me to click on "Allow" or "Deny". I've been clicking on Deny and the pop-up disappears. However, everytime I click on the volume control slider bar the pop-up appears again.
Prior to upgrading to this version last Friday, November 11, 2011, I didn't have these annoying pop-ups and I was running fine since September 16, 2011 when I got this new computer.
I "solved" this problem by:
1) Download and run 64 Bit Flash player uninstaller (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash _player_64bit.exe)
2) Download and Install Flash Player 11.0.1.152 (Non-IE) 64-bit from FileHippo (http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox_64/10746/)
3) Download and Install Flash Player 11.0.1.152 (IE) 64-bit from FileHippo (http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_ie_64/10747/)
I think step 3 could be ignored and install 11.1.102.55 instead (only for IE)
After that Flash Player works on Firefox 8 but it isn't updated version, so security issues still there.
I also tried install from inside Firefox and always failed. Only manual installation works. So I downloaded installer from FileHippo.
I can't find Flash Player 10 installer for download, but i'm sure it wont work. Firefox will disable the Flash plugin because it is an old version.
Again, please excuse me for my English.
Use the 11.1.102.55 installers from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550
It is not an installer related issue.
It's a versioning problem. Firefox doesn't recognize the Flash Player version and disables Flash Plugin.
So installing a not blacklisted version of Flash Player (11.0.1.152) solves the issue.
But it is only a temporary workaround. Firefox will blacklist that version too beacuse of the known security issues.

I have used the 64-bit uninstaller, I have used both IE and Non-IE installers, 64-bit and 32-bit.
It works on IE, but not Firefox, I didn't install Flash Player in a different way from the previous versions
On 64-bit systems you only run the 64-bit installer, which will install both 64-bit and 32-bit components. I don't know what will happen if you run both installers.
I don't understand what you wrote earlier about Firefox "blacklisting"; FP 11.1.102.55 works fine on my Firefox 8.0.

Sorry, that comment was made by Rekondo.
Can you check http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ what it says about your Flash Player (Shockwave Flash) version?
P.S. I just updated Firefox to 8.0.1 and Flash Player still works correctly.
Because Firefox uses a blacklist for outdated plugins.
Now I REALLY solved this problem by doing a manual update of blocklist.xml
1) Open Firefox
2) Go to: Tools - Error Console
3) Copy/Paste this in Console Text Box:
Components.classes['@mozilla.org/extensions/blocklist;1'].getService(Components.interfaces.nsITimerCallback).notify(null);
4) When you click "Evaluate" button seems like nothing happens, but %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<ProfileName>\blocklist.xml file was updated. You can check this in File Explorer.
5) Install latest Flash Player (non-IE) 64 bits from Adobe website (FF is 32 bit browser, but if your OS is 64 bits, you have to download 64 bits plugin)
6) Check flash version on http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
7) Done! Flash Player updated to last version and running on FF8.
Now I'm running 11.1.102.55 with no problems ![]()
May be when Kierenblade and me updated Flash plugin, blocklist.xml was outdated.
I am running Firefox 8.0
It says that Firefox is up to date.
I downloaded the Non-IE 64-bit Flash Player and I get this:
(doesn't look like I can post pictures, and I can't upload them to a site because it needs FLASH PLAYER!)
Once again, I have installed the latest version the same way I installed all previous versions

I also tried this, still not working, Flash Player doesn't seem to install into Firefox. It doesn't show up in my addons list:
(doesn't look like I can post pictures, and I can't upload them to a site because it needs FLASH PLAYER!)
I just don't understand why it works on IE, but not Firefox, and yes, I did use the Non-IE installer to install it on Firefox and the IE installer for IE, both 64-bit

Have you checked the link I already posted???
2) Download and Install Flash Player 11.0.1.152 (Non-IE) 64-bit from FileHippo (http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox_64/10746/)
Here is the link for previous version of Flash Player.
If you feel more comfortable downloading directly from Adobe, please see this FAQ:
Where do I find previous versions of Flash Player?

I am a little bit confused by the contents in your syswow64 install folder; you are on a 64-bit system, and you have been running the 64-bit installer?

Sorry, I just relized that I gave the system32 one, not the syswow64.
At the moment I'm on my laptop (32-bit), I will see if I can find the folder on my desktop when I get home.
Thanks for your help!

It is sometimes a little bit confusing... On 64-bit systems
One thing to try... I am currently using Waterfox 8.0.1, which is the 64-bit version of Firefox 8.0.1 - can you give this a try too? http://waterfoxproj.sourceforge.net/

Aha! This is why the 64-bit Waterfox works, but 32-bit Firefox is not: NPSWF32.dll is missing.
Try re-running the 64-bit installer, and everything should be fine, even with Firefox.

WooHoo! It works!!
Just btw, the version previous from the latest one, doesn't work. Turns out that this "
2) Download and Install Flash Player 11.0.1.152 (Non-IE) 64-bit from FileHippo (http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox_64/10746/)"
is the version that doesn't work.
Thank you so much ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ! Appreciate it A LOT!!
I'm trying to determine if my issue is related to this thread. Audio players on pages like this will not play in firefox 8.0.1 on my wiindows 7 64 bit machine. I have uninstalled and installed adobe flash several times and cannot get these files to play. They play fine on every other browser including firefox 8.0.1 running on windows xp 32 bit.
I've seen and read several comments similar to yours on this thread. I haven't
exactly had the problem they described (like yours, "Not Working"). My problem
is when I adjust the volume of a video, a pop-up appears with a web-site asking
to store something on my hard drive and it wants more space, typically 12 kb and
it's only getting 2 kb.
