A little earlier, I wrote about the problem with Adobe Flash Player in Mozilla Browser. At the moment, we can probably say that the problem is solved.

As a result of the tests, I came to the conclusion that it was precisely the video that was to blame for the poor performance of the video. Adobe Flash player. Not Youtube, which, by the way, apparently, partially or completely, abandoned Flash and switched to HTML5 since January of this year, not a browser Mozilla Firefox, namely Adobe Flash Player. Of course, the curvature of programmers from Adobe is surprising, but what can you do.

The solution to problems with video playback is as follows: by enumeration, we select the appropriate version of Adobe Flash Player. Versions, there is no need to talk about it, you need to take it from the official Adobe website, otherwise you can get the situation.

In my case, Adobe Flash Player 10.3, dated April 2013, worked. This is such nonsense: in order for embedded videos to work properly on sites, I had to roll back the Flash Player version from 17 to 10.

The issue was resolved by sorting through flash versions. I put the 16th - the glitches remained. I put the 15th, 11th - there were still glitches. And that's how I got to the 10th version, with which everything works fine.

The only "BUT". We all know that older versions of Flash Player are full of vulnerabilities and therefore it is up to you whether or not to work with older versions. Just in case, read the right way.

Well, if you decide to do this, then after installing the old version of Flash Player, be prepared for the fact that when you enter any site that requires Flash, there will be such an inscription:

Updating Flash Player will most likely cause it to become inoperable again, so there is only one way out: to allow and remember Flash Player for each specific site. Allowed, he will not remind himself next time.


You can allow and remember by clicking on the red icon (on the screen in a green circle)

So far, doing without Adobe Flash Player is difficult. For example, without it, it is impossible to watch videos on most sites. The same can be said about many browser games. If you are using Mozilla browser Firefox, then remember that there is no flash player in it, unlike . How to turn it on?

In fact, there is no add-on in the form of Adobe Flash Player for Mozilla. The plug-in of the specified player is embedded in the browser when you are from the official site. Therefore, in fact, the only thing you need to do is download the flash player to your computer and install it.

But what if it is already installed, but the browser still does not want to play videos? Perhaps the plugin crashed - this happens. Do not worry. In this case, I recommend that you simply restart your browser - in 99% of cases this helps.

In some cases, the plugin may be disabled, you need to enable it yourself. To do this, you need to do the following:

Find the menu and select "Tools" - "Add-ons" in it.

  • A page will open in front of you where you can download add-ons to give your browser new functionality, for example.


  • Now we are not interested in this. Select the "Plugins" tab. Find Shockwave Flash and enable it if it is disabled (choose "Always enable").


  • Just in case, restart your browser. Check the functionality of the plugin, it should work.
