I am able to use Adobe Flash Player on Internet Explorer but not on Microsoft Edge and Firefox. When I go to a Song Pop through Facebook where Adobe Flash Player is required I get a message that it is not enabled but when I check it shows that it is enabled. Anyone else having this problem? I would appreciate help with this problem. Thank you.

All of the major browsers block Flash from running automatically at this point, but they all do it a little differently, and you may just have to experiment and find a browser that works.

It's also the case that IE and Edge use a specific variant of Flash Player (ActiveX), Firefox uses another one (NPAPI) and Chrome and Chromium-based browsers like Opera use a third (PPAPI). Each one of those browsers needs to have Flash Player installed and enabled.

On Windows 8 and higher, IE and Edge have Flash Player built in. Chrome (on all operating systems) includes Flash Player as a built-in component too. In those instances, you probably just need to enable it.

For NPAPI browsers like Firefox and PPAPI browsers that aren't Google Chrome (Opera, etc.), you'll need to download and install Flash Player first, then activate it. If you go to our download page with that specific browser, we'll give you the right installer.

Once Flash is installed, you'll then need to go into the browser's preferences and enable it.
