Flash Player installation failure - Please close Safari error

[a-fro]

Firefox has disabled flash player with a "Flash player has been disabled for your safety" message, and the option to update Flash Player. When I try to do that, the process starts by downloading AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_11_aih.dmg. I close all browsers, run the installer, but it always gives me the error message: "Please quit the following programs to continue. Safari", even though I don't use safari and don't have it open. I've tried rebooting, error persists.

Other ways to troubleshoot?

Hello,

Welcome to Adobe Forums.

Just double check for any process of Safari in Activity Monitor.

Thanks

You might also find that you're already using the latest version of Flash Player.  Please visit this page to verify the version you have installed and compare it to our latest release.

Well, Firefox won't let me run flash player. I have 11.1 r102 installed, which firefox tells me is vulnerable.

I also checked activity monitor, and there is nothing there when I filter on the word 'Safari'.

Are you showing "All Processes" in Activity Monitor?  You might want to try manually deleting the files with the word Flash in the name in your /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder then try installing again.

It turned out to be an app I have installed called "Fluid". Closing that app allowed me to update.

For me it turned out to be MenuTab Pro for Facebook. Until I quit that application during installation I got the "Safari" error.
