Question

Installing latest Flash Player

Mac OSX 10.11.3  ---System was working fine  until I downloaded latest Adobe Flash Player update.  In attempting to install on my computer the installation stopped at 93% and indicated error.  One of my websites does not function without this update and they advised using a different browser other than Safari.  I downloaded Firefox and used this to access my malfunctioning website without success,  I tried the installation many times with Safari and always the same hang up problem.  I suspect there is an incompatibility of the new Flash update with my Mac OSX El Capitan.  Can anyone advise a solution?

I resolved the problem.  I changed to Firefox as a browser and successfully downloaded the updated flash player.  Staying with Firefox I successfully accessed my faulty website.  It would appear that OSX El Capitan is not compatible with the updated flash player.  Very inconvenient   ---

Hi,


Firefox and Safari both use the same NPAPI plugin. If you're using Firefox on El Capitan, I'm not sure what you mean by 'It would appear that OSX El Capitan is not compatible with the updated flash player'.  Perhaps you're referring to Safari.

If Flash is not displaying in Safari, please check to see that it is enabled in Safari:  See https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-safari.html

Maria:

El Capitan comes with an updated Safari and this combination is not compatible with the updated Flash Player.

Flash Player is not displayed in Safari  extensions ---  in fact the extensions site is empty.  I cannot discover how to manipulate extensions and will have to be content with using Firefox  for the single website that requests it.

Many thanks for your helpful assistance.
