Flash doesn't work after I updated it

I am using Firefox 34.0.5 and updated my flash player but after the update it stopped working. The videos doesn't show up. I tried disabling all add-ons and found out that Shockwave Flash 16.0 is causing the problem. What should I do to make it work again?

I don't know why but some videos work just fine and other videos doesn't show anything even a white or black screen, even though they're from the same site. When a video doesn't show up, the cursor changes from the normal cursor to "working in background" cursor rapidly.

Hey,

Did you try these typical Flash fixes?

(1) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash

(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"

(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues

(2) Disable protected mode (Win Vista & Win 7 & maybe Win 8)

See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": Adobe Forums: https://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround

Hope it helps.

If you have problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions then check this:

  • see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers

https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

I did both of these but it still didn't work. I tried using another browser and found out that the problem only occurs in firefox.
