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

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

The solution to problems with video playback is as follows: using a brute force method, select the appropriate version of Adobe Flash Player. Versions, there is no need to talk about this, you need to take them 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 on websites to work properly, I had to roll back the version of Flash Player from 17 to 10.

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

The only "BUT". We all know that older versions of Flash Player have vulnerabilities and therefore, it is up to you to decide whether to work with older versions or not. Just in case, read how to do it correctly.

Well, if you decide to do this, then after installing the old version of Flash Player, be prepared for the fact that when you go to any site that requires Flash, you will see the following message:

Updating Flash Player will most likely lead to its inoperability again, so there is only one way out: to allow and remember the operation of Flash Player for each specific site. Allowed, it will not remind you of itself next time.

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

Flash player is a fairly important element of any browser, since it is it that ensures the basic functionality of many elements regarding music, animation and video.

But do not forget that any flash player in the browser sometimes requires updating its structure, so it is important to know how to do this. Today we will touch on a fairly high-quality and widespread browser, which is known as Mozilla.

Update flash mozile

Yes, it has some peculiarities in its structural program and has some inconvenient tools, but this should not cause you any suspicion or inconvenience, since the browser has no restrictions in terms of updating and further use of the most important element for stable performance. Therefore, you can prepare your attention as further instructions on how to update the flash player in the Mozilla browser will be discussed.

What is this technology

Before you think about this plugin, it’s worth understanding why it’s all being done. Despite the fact that browsers are constantly updated, they still retain as their basis the familiar technology for creating and supporting websites, which is the flash player. Even the controversial Mozilla uses this technology, despite all its attempts to point out completely new technologies.

Without this plugin, for example, you will not be able to play videos or listen to music, animated banners and other animations simply will not work, and some sites will not launch at all.

Therefore, regarding the issue of updating the program, you need to be as serious as possible and understand the nuances.

Update instructions

In fact, such technology has reached the level that it can itself be updated in automatic mode and do not require any action from the user to achieve the task. But if this does not happen, then you should follow a number of the following steps to help avoid this unpleasant situation:

Now you know exactly how to behave when updating such an important element and how to avoid mistakes during installation. Remember our recommendations and you will never again encounter problems that slightly spoil the overall experience of using software products.

For now, it’s difficult to do without Adobe Flash Player. For example, without it it is impossible to watch videos on most sites. The same can be said about many browser games. If you use Mozilla browser Firefox, then remember that it does not have a flash player, unlike . How to enable it?

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

What should you do if it is already installed, but the browser still does not want to play videos? The plugin may have crashed - it happens. Do not worry. In this case, I recommend that you simply restart the 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”.

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

• We are not interested in this now. Select the "Plugins" tab. Find Shockwave Flash and enable it if it is disabled (select Always Enable).

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