Flash Player not working - Vivaldi browser

[Guest]

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.

How To Install Adobe Flash For Vivaldi Browser

[Guest]

I wrote in the question that i already did it

[Neylandboy]

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

[Guest]

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

[Robert Mc Dowell]

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

[Guest]

Did it too I'll try to reinstall Windows and I'll report the results, because idk what else to do. Thanks for help

[Robert Mc Dowell]

did you report your issue at vivaldi support?

[Neylandboy · Accepted solution]

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.

[Robert Mc Dowell]

you can also put the entire website on the whitelist once

Vivaldi is based on Chromium, and Google made this change (disable Flash by default) some time ago.  Sounds like Vivaldi is now catching up to the same behaviour.

[Neylandboy]

No, this is still not the problem. You can enable "Allow Flash" globally in the settings, but you STILL have to enable it on every website you wish it to play on.

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.

Maria, what this means is when trying to install the latest version (and several previous versions) it will not go past 90% and it just frreezes there. I tried a number of other browsers including Chrome and Firefox and the same happened. There are a lot of others having the same problem? do you know when this will be fixed? Windows 7 latest version.

[johnh99689167]

robert, this does not work either. Please see my response to Maria. thank you for the quick reply and if you figure it out please let me know. by the way have you ever just tried downloading and installing the latest version of adobe flash player? as mentioned to maria this freezes at 90% install. I've tried defeating my firewall , malware protection, etc. and it still happens. thank you

I've seen less than an handful of reports on the forums, and they involve different types of installers, so the issues wouldn't be related.

Download failures happen for various reasons, without installation log files I couldn't tell you why. 

In order to troubleshoot the installation failure, I'll need to review the installation log files.  Please provide the following files:

• 32-bit OS: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\FlashInstall32.log
• 64-bit OS: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\FlashInstall64.log AND C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashInstall32.log
• Adobe_ADM.log AND Adobe_GDE.log saved at C:\Users\<YourUserID>\AppData\Local\Temp\Adobe_ADMLogs

Upload all files to cloud.acrobat.com/send using the instructions at How to share a file using Adobe Document Cloud and post the link to the uploaded files in your reply.

Are you using anti-virus software?  If so, which one (including version)?

Thank you.

I never had any problem to install flash 30.x.x on Linux, Windows, Mac OS 32 and 64bits on all browsers

Maria will certainly find the right way to solve your problem
