OS: Windows 7x64
Browser: Vivaldi 1.13.1008.40

Hello. I'm trying to install the latest version of Flash Player (28.0.0.137), the installation goes fine, but after the installation I can't use flash content on websites and on page Flash Player Help I see this message: Sorry, Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled.

Please help to fix it.


I tried to install other versions of Flash Player, offline version and there is no success.

I found the solution. Vivaldi now make you enable EVERY web page that you want flash on, on an individual basis. You need to left click the security marker (padlock on secure sites) and allow the page to use flash, then refresh the page.

I appreciate the help and suggestions but flash will not install. I have been going around and around with Adobe about this but they do not seem to care. I learned from you to go the lock on the address bar and allow but this did not work? Have you had any luck with Adobe or the install of flash player? thank you.

but flash will not install

What, exactly, does this mean?  If there are no errors, then Flash is most likely installed correctly.

Vivaldi isn't an officially supported browser (see Tech specs | Adobe Flash Player for supported browsers), but it should work.


What operating system, including version, is this on?

Please provide a direct link to content that is not working.

I'm having the same problem. No matter what I do I cannot get Vivaldi to recognise the fact that I've installed flash.

Can you please tell me if you will find a solution?

did you try to completely remove vivaldi + preferences + flash player

then install a fresh vivaldi then flash then reboot?

your issue is maybe more vivaldi related than flash

vivaldi use PPAPI version of flash (same as Chrome / Opera)
