– nothing more than an additional module for playing game animation, audio and video created in .swf, .FLV, .F4V, .SWF, etc. formats. When multimedia with such extensions is posted on the Internet, browsers have no way to play them without third-party software, so instead of content we see a gray window asking to install or update the player. Even if it is already available, various errors occur periodically. Let's try to figure out how to avoid this.
Setting up Adobe Flash Player in different browsers.
A very common problem: every time you try to open a video or game, the message “Click here to launch Adobe Flash Player” appears. Whatever web server you use, by default it will not allow the plugin to run without permission from you, which is why Adobe Flash Player does not automatically launch immediately. We will describe below how to make this function available. If Flash Player used to work on its own, and then suddenly stopped starting, the reason is most likely that it’s time to update it or the web browser. If you want to view the content immediately, there is nothing left to do but launch the plugin manually and then go through the settings.
Setting Flash Player to launch automatically for Google Chrome
Before you enable Flash Player in Google Chrome, you need to download the module from the official website, click on it and wait until the installation is completed. Then do this:
- Open Google Chrome, enter “chrome://plugins” (without quotes) in the search bar and press Enter.
- Find Flash Player in the list and click “Enable”, and also agree to the “Always run” suggestion.
Now the plugin will work without your participation as soon as it recognizes Flash content in Google Chrome. Check if everything is functioning correctly. If not, then:
Setting Flash Player to launch automatically for Mozilla Firefox
Now let's figure out how to enable the installed Flash Player in Mozilla. Typically, this browser asks you to download Shockwave Flash. This is almost the same program and even belongs to the same company, but it has a number of advantages (however, for the average user this is hardly noticeable).
- Open your browser and find a button at the top in the corner with three horizontal stripes - “Menu”.
- Now click on “Add-ons” – “Shockwave Flash” – “Always Enable”.
Once you have enabled Flash Player in Mozilla Firefox, be prepared for the fact that after a while it may crash and a message about the collapse of elements will appear - this happens often with this web browser. In this case, you will have to update the plugin. Startup problems also occur when:
- viruses (scan your computer in deep scan mode using an antivirus or a special utility, block all threats, reboot the system);
- cache (in the “Windows” search we look for “%appdata%\Adobe” (without quotes), a folder of the same name will appear, and in it another one labeled “Flash Player” - delete everything that is there; repeat the same thing upon request "%appdata%\Macromedia");
- lost settings (“Control Panel” – “All elements” – “Flash Player” – “Advanced” – “Delete everything”).
- acceleration functions (open a video in the browser and right-click on it, click “Options”, uncheck the “Hardware acceleration” function);
- browser damage (uninstall Mozilla in the standard way, and then open the “C” drive and find the “Program Files” and “ProgramData” folders, and in them “Firefox” and clean them. Carry out the same procedure along the path C / Users / Your name in system/AppData/Local/Firefox and C/Users/Your name in system/AppData/Roaming/Firefox);
- disturbances in the operation of the system (it can either be restored, if you remember when the problems began, or replaced).
Setting Flash Player to launch automatically for Opera
You can enable or disable Flash Player in Opera in the plugins section. To do this, type in the search the already familiar one: “chrome://plugins”.
- Select the one you need, click “Enable”.
- At the top left, click “Menu” – “Settings” – “Sites” – “Plugins” – “Run all content”.
Check if the content is playing. If not, then most likely Opera has turbo mode enabled. It speeds up loading if the connection is slow, but blocks Flash Player. Open the menu and uncheck the box next to it. If there is still no result, the reason may be:
- two installed versions of the plugin that interfere with each other (go to the “Plugins” section - “Show details” - disable NPAPI and leave PPAPI);
- “Hardware acceleration” (it is written above how to disable it);
- accumulated cache (deleted as described in the case of Mozilla).
Configuring automatic launch of Flash Player for Yandex Browser
Flash Player in Yandex Browser is enabled using the same method as in Google Chrome. Make a search query: “chrome://plugins” and you will be taken to a page with a list of plugins. Find the red player icon and click “Enable” and “Always run”.
Check the functionality of the module. The reasons why it may not start are the same as in the above-mentioned browsers and can be eliminated using the same methods.
ADVICE. Adobe Flash Player is quite problematic software - its components are susceptible to viruses and spyware, and there have been cases when attackers gained access to a webcam and personal data through it. Some browsers even temporarily blocked Flash Player, which confused users and created a lot of inconvenience, and Adobe developers had to urgently fix all the problems.
Recently, HTML5 technology has appeared, thanks to which it will be possible to avoid installing additional plugins and make do with standard web server capabilities when launching multimedia content. They promise to introduce the new product everywhere by 2020, and Adobe will close the Flash Player project.
Many browser users often have a problem with playing Flash content, namely, it is impossible to play audio and video in Flash format using the Adobe Flash plugin. This problem often arises, for example, with games on social networks such as Odnoklassniki, or on other sites.
