Adobe Flash Player widely used for creating banners, animations, videos, as well as playing full-fledged videos or music on websites, etc. Sooner or later, problems arise in its operation. The user's task is to return dynamic content to the browser.

Why do you need Adobe Flash Player components?

Having announced the imminent refusal software technologies based on Flash Player, Adobe has made browser plugin developers very excited about this news. Software tool Adobe Flash Player is built into the Chromium engine, in particular into Yandex.Browser, and without it browser plugins cannot work.

Modern CMS engines for websites work on a Flash basis. Examples of this are WordPress, Joomla, IPB, SMF scripts and dozens of others like them. The original engines of social networks Odnoklassniki, Mail.Ru, VKontakte and others are not without Flash technologies. They also operate the resources of Yandex, Rambler and dozens of other portals, as well as thousands of popular publications. Without the Flash Player plugin, at best, text versions of the above projects would be displayed, with almost no interactivity.

The disadvantage of Flash Player is the security vulnerability of both sites and the user's browser.

Why doesn't Flash Player work in Yandex Browser?

Adobe Flash Player may suddenly fail for various reasons - from incorrect settings of the plugin and browser itself to actions on the part of other programs that directly or indirectly affect their joint work.

There is no Adobe Flash plugin in the browser

Although the Adobe Flash Player plug-in is integrated into Yandex.Browser, it can be accidentally removed, for example, due to security holes in the browser/site, browser slowness, insufficient PC/tablet performance, sites overloaded with Flash banners, etc.

Checking the functionality of Adobe Flash in Yandex Browser

To make sure Flash Player is installed and working, do the following:

The Adobe Flash Player plugin is included with each version of Yandex.Browser. It is better to reinstall the plugin simultaneously with reinstalling the browser itself according to one of the instructions below.

Adobe Flash Player is not active

Accidental disabling of the Flash Player plugin most often occurs due to the user's fault. To check the status of Adobe Flash, do the following:

Incorrect installation of the Flash Player plugin

The Flash Player plugin itself cannot be installed incorrectly, just as the same application cannot be installed twice for any operating system.

Such applications do not include those whose different versions are designed to complement each other. For example, the Net.Framework engine for Windows.

Each a new version Adobe Flash Player replaces the old one.

Conflict between different versions of the Adobe Flash plugin

Conflict different versions(dual installation) Adobe Flash may occur due to the following reason. The obsolete NPAPI (Netscape Plugin API) technology for displaying active content, once created for the Netscape Navigator browser, has been replaced in the Adobe Flash Player plug-in with its more modern continuation PPAPI (Pepper Plugin API), promoted by Google together with Adobe. Accordingly, the latest versions of the Flash Player plugin can be installed “next to” older ones.

To disable one version of Adobe Flash Player and enable another, do the following:

Try to use the latest version of Adobe Flash Player that supports both NPAPI/PPAPI technologies. It is more stable. Two or more versions of Flash Player, if forced to switch frequently, can confuse the user and slow down his work.

Uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash using Windows

To eliminate the consequences of errors that occurred immediately when running Adobe Flash or after some time, the engine itself is completely reinstalled in Windows itself. This solves the following problems:

• lack of sound when watching online videos, for example, on YouTube;
• choppy playback, slowdown of videos and animations on websites;
• displaying a simplified, text version of the site (purely in HTML layout, without design, but with ordinary pictures).

Before checking whether the Adobe Flash plugin is active in Yandex Browser, reinstall the Flash Player program itself. To do this, do the following:

1. Click "Start" in Home Windows menu select Control Panel, then go to Programs and Features.

   

   Select a software tool to install and remove programs and OS components

2. To remove Adobe Flash programs (most often there are two of them - the plugin itself with support for NPAPI technology and the engine for active content ActiveX in Internet Explorer) select each of them and click the "Delete" button.

   

   Select the component to remove and click the remove button

3. Confirm the request to remove Adobe Flash (if any) and wait for the removal procedure. Restart Windows.
4. Go to adobe.com and get the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player installer.

   

   Choose the Adobe Flash plugin version that suits you best

5. In the downloads section of get.adobe.com, click the confirmation button to download the Adobe Flash online installer. Stop installing McAfee antivirus.

   

   Click on the Adobe website to start installing Flash Player

6. Wait for the updated one to download and install Adobe programs Flash Player.

   

   Adobe Flash must not only download, but also install

7. Restart Windows again and update the problematic page in Yandex Browser.

The Yandex.Browser version is not relevant

Checking Yandex.Browser updates makes sense when:

• the browser itself has not been updated for a long time - a year or more - and auto-checking for new versions was initially (after installation) turned off by you;
• a number of plugins failed, in particular, Adobe Flash began to produce constant errors on any sites using dynamic graphics;
• a gap has formed in the security line of Yandex.Browser (accounts on social networks and online versions of instant messengers are hacked; in none of payment systems and not in any bank through your “ Personal Area» it is impossible to send/receive money, which is what the websites of these organizations warn about);
• Websites do not open or work poorly (necessary functions and menus are missing).

The penultimate of the reasons listed, by the way, is the most motivating: we are talking about your personal and commercial security on the Internet.

Yandex Browser update (without reinstallation)

Updating the browser through the built-in wizard in the application itself allows you to change the program version to the latest one. To update Yandex.Browser, do the following:

Outdated version of Java component

Not only Adobe Flash is responsible for displaying active graphics on websites. Java scripts are also responsible for interactivity on the Internet (interaction between the Internet server and the user). Unlike the PHP script/script, which is the main handler of user requests on the website and works strictly within the server, they are downloaded to the PC or mobile device user along with the output HTML page. Full version this same page, in addition to pictures and animations, contains auxiliary *.js files that contain additional functions in the form of expanded menus, sidebars, soft buttons, checkboxes and radio buttons, highlighting on mouse over, etc. Without Java, websites would not be what they are today.

Checking the activity of Java technology in Yandex Browser

To make sure the Java plugin is currently running, do the following:

1. Launch "Yandex.Browser" and execute the command "Menu - Settings".

   

   Go to General settings"Yandex.Browser" to check the operation of Java technology

2. Click the "Show" button additional settings». Full list browser settings and capabilities will be displayed below.

   

   Click the button to display advanced settings of Yandex.Browser

3. In the “Personal Data Protection” column, click the “Content Settings” button.

   

   Click the button to show content settings on pages in Yandex Browser

4. Make sure that "Allow JavaScript on all sites" is enabled.

   

   Check that JavaScript is enabled in Yandex Browser

5. If JavaScript was disabled (or limited to a list of exclusion sites), please enable it. Click the "Finish" button and restart Yandex.Browser.

Updating Java Programs

The best way update Java - completely remove this engine from the PC and reinstall it. To do this, do the following:

1. Open "Programs and Features" through the "Control Panel" and find the "Java X Update X" application (where X is the version number of the software and its patch/update package).

   

   Select the desired item from the application list

2. Click the "Delete" button and confirm the request. The Java program will be removed from the PC. Restart Windows.

   

   Confirm the request to uninstall Java

3. Go (perhaps from a different browser) to java.com and in the software download section, click the "Download Java" button.

   

   Click the start download Java button

4. Select standard (non-interactive) package Java installations. The selected file will be downloaded.

   

5. Run the resulting installer and click Next. By default, the Java program will be installed in the C:\Program Files folder.

   

   To continue installation, click the confirm button

6. The Java program will be installed. Wait for the Windows Installer Wizard to notify you that the installation has completed successfully.

   

   Click the exit button from the installer

7. Restart Windows and launch Yandex Browser again. Check that the Adobe Flash Player plugin is working correctly.

PC hardware incompatibility with Adobe Flash version

Failures at the hardware level, resulting in errors in the operation of the Adobe Flash plugin, indicate an irreparable incompatibility of PC and Windows components with already installed applications. Fortunately, you can turn off hardware acceleration, which is designed to reduce the load on the Flash Player plugin.

Adobe Flash Player will switch to a more stable operating mode.

Errors on site pages

When all of the above measures to eliminate Flash Player failures do not produce results, the reason is obvious - the owner and/or administrator of the site did not take care of the correct display of the dynamic graphics of their resource.

Disadvantages of the hosting used for the site

The disadvantages of hosting can be considered from the point of view of both the owner and the site visitor:

• Some features and functions of the PHP programming language are not included in the basic tariff package for site owners (or the site owner did not pay for these services separately). If you are the owner of the site, change the tariff or hoster.
• software the hoster is not updated - untimely transition to newer versions of PHP and MySQL programs, for example, the hoster is not popular enough, has not fully developed due to the lack of income received. If you are a site visitor, look for alternative sites on your topic where problems with Flash content are not observed.

Problems with the website engine

The developer of the engine (CMS) for websites (for example, WordPress) has not yet taken into account the corrections and updates of Adobe Flash Player and Java Runtime implemented in their next releases. If you are a webmaster (including those working on custom websites), update the engine for the site or use an alternative one (for example, based on Joomla), which completely solves the goals and objectives of the customer and satisfies the needs of his audience.

Other problems with Flash Player

In addition to the problems with Adobe Flash described above, the operation of this plugin (and its other software components at the Windows level) may be affected by the following reasons:

Adobe Flash is a multimedia platform that is used to create multimedia presentations or for web applications. It is also very often used in the development of games, animation, banners, and so on. Adobe Flash Player is a program that allows you to play Flash content (although some third-party programs can also recognize this type of file). Without this player, we simply will not be able to view most modern sites, videos and even some pictures. And since today this technology is developing by leaps and bounds, we will not be able to do without it in any case (and this despite the fact that Flash applications place an unreasonably high load on the central process), so it can always be downloaded from the developer’s official resource. However, in some cases it may not work. Why?

Reasons why the flash player does not work

• Typically, this happens if you need to update the version of your flash player. To do this, you need to go to the official website of the developer and download this utility. You can do this here - http://get.adobe.com/ru/flashplayer/. We repeat, the utility is distributed completely free of charge.

• After it is downloaded to your computer, you need to install it. As a rule, this takes a couple of minutes, after which in some cases the computer may require a reboot.

• If the player was installed crookedly and simply does not want to work on most web resources, then it needs to be removed and reinstalled. However, this cannot be done using the standard control panel, since in this case it will not be completely removed. Must use special utility Uninstall Flash Player, which you can also find on the official website - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html (although you can also use third party program, Uninstall Tool).

• After you successfully remove the player, reinstall it again. If it turns out that the matter is in itself, that is, it latest version it works crookedly, delete it again and install one of the older versions, in which you did not experience problems viewing flash applications.

• It is also worth noting the fact that each browser uses its own player, so if in Google Chrome you do not experience any problems, say, when viewing websites, then, for example, in Opera they may appear. By the way, in Chrome the player is built-in and updates automatically.

By the way, don't forget to clear your browser cache. It is possible that after this your problem will be resolved. Also, sometimes restarting the browser helps - maybe there was just a small glitch. You can also check to see if Flash Player is forcibly disabled in your Internet browser.
