#Flash not working on chrome or firefox update
You won’t be able to access the content of many sites that uses flash player hence it is important to fix this error and enable adobe flash player. Most of the video streaming and image gallery sites still use flash to display content to the users and it acts as a back end for online gaming sites.Ĭurrently, many users are reporting flash player keeps crashing and sometimes flash player stops working on Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. You need to allow in order to run flash on that site.Īdobe Flash Player is a third-party chrome plugin to handle high-end web apps, widely used by many sites. Chrome usually asks for users permission to enable flash player in case site needs it, a grey color box with title ‘ Click to Enable Adobe Flash Player‘ appears. For now, I’ll work with this fix.Adobe Flash Player is used to run high-end web apps while surfing sites on chrome. So if you have this issue you can either disable TLS 1.2 like I did, or move to the Fast ring, update and then move back to the slow ring. This is apparently fixed for those on the Fast ring or build 15025 or later.
I’m currently running the Slow ring Insider level and am on build 14986.
#Flash not working on chrome or firefox windows 10
It looks like this issue appeared and is fixed in later Windows 10 builds. Making the change in the IE settings also resolved the issue in Edge as well. Close IE and reopen it and you can now get to Google, Youtube etc. Scroll right down to the bottom and you will see the check box for Use TLS 1.2 enabled as you can see below Open IE – then go to the Internet Options menu and then select the Advanced tab. How can I disable TLS 1.2 in Internet Explorer?
Furthermore it looks that if I disable TLS 1.2 within IE that I can “fix” the problem. It seems that a recent update (December 2016) to my Windows 10 installation has caused it to fail. I had of course already scanned my computer for virus and malware with nothing found, so I knew that was not the culprit. Tonight though I thought I’d dig into it some more and find out what was going on. So for the moment, I let it be as I had other work that needed to be done. I found that using Firefox and Chrome, with Google and Youtube and everything worked fine. The error I got is when trying to access either site, is shown below – totally unhelpful.Īt the time I first saw it, I found that I could access other sites, so it was not a computer issue. It was not only Google that didn’t work, but also Youtube failed to load. I normally use Internet Explorer and Edge for browsing, but also have Chrome and Firefox installed as well. At some point in the last few months, my search engine of choice, Google, stopped working on my laptop.
