Hello

Suddenly, for some reason my Firefox won't be able to detect the Flash players anymore.

Yesterday all worked just fine, but today they won't work:

I can't watch trailers in IMDB, watch videos/streams in Twitch TV nor play games in Armor Games.

The flash player just doesn't want to load.

In Armor Games and Twitch TV the flash player is just loading endlessly and the mouse pointer is blinking rapidly.

Because of this I can't stream videos in Twitch TV either.

I have tried to:

Uninstall firefox

Uninstall adobe (few times done that)

In Internet Explorer everything works as they should, but in Firefox...nope.

Hello

Here is some more information:

  • Your operating system & version

Windows 7, 64bit

Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8320 Eight-Core Processor , 3.50GHz

Memory 8Gb

  • Your web browser(s) & version

Firefox (40.0.3)

  • Your Flash Player version

Adobe Flash Player 18 NPAPI

Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1

  • Explain your problem in step-by-step detail if possible

I wont be able to watch videos/streams from Twitch.tv, trailers from IMDB nor to play mini games in Armor Games.

When I open Twitch.tv or IMDB trailer, the flash player starts to load the video screen, but it won't start. Video will just load endlessly.

In Armor Games, the screen where game should load, wont start at all. The screen area is just blank.

If I move my mouse cursor to the video/screen area, the cursor will start to blink rapidly and Firefox slows down a lot.

  • If you get error messages, please quote them exactly, or provide a screenshot:

I have the same problem here:

OS: Windows 10 Pro

Browser: Firefox 40.0.3

Flash Player Version: Shockwave Flash: 18.0 r0

Problem: When loading a video on certain video website the Flash video window is blank. When I move my mouse over the video or away from the video my cursor icon shows the loading circle and briefly flickers.

Link example: https://screen.yahoo.com/popular/tribute-light-behind-scenes-231411218.html

Error Message: None.

Any help would be much appreciated!
