had this working on 4.1.1 fine. updated to 4.1.2 and now after countless combos of firefox and flash player versions, playing flash crashes the firefox browser. AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH! can anyone help??
Did you try AOSP browser? I am using CM 10 4.1.2 rom and latest flash is working flawlessly on both Firefox and AOSP browser.
Which Firefox and Adobe version are you using?

works fine with marathon browser, but i use ff
You can try to sideload older version of flash and see if you face same issue.
And are you using Firefox Beta or just Firefox? Firefox beta seems to work better on android.
But my recommendation would be to use AOSP Browser, its the best browser for android imo better than firefox.

ya... ive tried about 5 earlier versions..all fail. can you go to youtube.com and play videos with firefox??
Yes I use Youtube app though its very good. If I try playing any video on youtube in firefox beta it opens it in the youtube app itself.

right!! but if in firefox if you request a "desktop version of site" then try to play the video in the browser....it crashes. can you try a test of doing that way for me ?? thanks
I tried using the desktop site the full screen worked fine. Only thing I noticed is the buttons like play, resume, full screen appeared blurred , not good. But full screen played fine, no crashes.
I have played videos on other web sites and they also play fine on full screen.
Why you are not using youtube app for watching videos?

not "fullscreen" in firefox in the options you check "request desktop site" after you load www.youtube.com, then try to play a video
I understood what you said before and I did check request desktop site too works fine for me.

Thanks!! I gave up..... flashed CM10 Kang 4.1.2................ now everything works fine!
Just as a question, did you use firefox beta or the normal firefox? On 4.1.1 I had to use firefox beta to make flash work fine, but on 4.1.2 firefox beta flash did only work in NOT Fullscreen mode and trying to use fullscreen made flash crash. Funny thing is, on 4.1.1 the same happened to the normal Firefox. But now on 4.1.2 I use the normal Firefox browser (nfot the beta) and the latest flash version from the archives and it works very goood, also in fullscreen mode no crashes. Hope I could help some people looking into this topic.

Hi everybody,
Has anyone try to view flash video on the streak; has anyone issues with it and how did you resolve this? I am on a site which is broadcasting flash videos; my streak is charging them but nothing happens, any ideas? How can I resolve it? Do I have to download something? (I am running the official dell froyo update)
Thanks for answering
It SHOULD play the vids. I've tried iplayer on Wifi and it worked really well indeed (I'm using Steve's custom 2.2 build 1.4.1)
....thinks....ooh yeah - have you downloaded the flash 10.1 player from the market?

good one
Adobe flash player
Yes I did but on some sites it's charging without playing...
hmm. any sites in particular? I'll try them on mine and see what happens (assuming they're respectable of course... )
Its a belgian news site : "rtl info.be"; the video's are charging but not playing.
well I've had a quick look and it's certainly downloading the vids BUT at work I just don't have a fast enough connection - a couple of bars of Edge is the best I get.
I'll try again at home, on Wifi. They seem to be quite big files.....
Ah just noticed - they're mp4 not flash! Hth?

The browser?
Yeah, the browser works fine here. Even with the HD streams. Every once in a while I find a vid where Youtube blocks "mobile" devices... I just open those up in Firefox Beta with a "Desktop Firefox" UserAgent (you have to install the addon "phony").

Hello everyone. I am having an issue with my Nexus 7 using Google Chrome Browser where it will not stream most online video from a lot of websites. If I go to the verge, or Engadget and try to stream there video reviews I get either an error or the video just freezes. I tried switching user agents to iPad, desktop, etc and still no luck.
When I use my iPad 2 to play the video on those websites it loads up and plays with no issues. I am also having this issue ona lot of other websites I come across.
Is this am android limitation or am I just missing a plug in or something.
Flash isn't supported on Chrome. You need to install latest flash apk and use either AOSP Browser ( you need to sideload this, serach the fourms you will get how to do that) or Firefox Beta , both these browser support flash videos. I have had smooth experience with AOSP browser so would recommend that. If you cant find it let me know.
The iPad doesn't support flash either and plays the videos with no issues. So I don't think flash is the issue. The videos are not flash but I'm not sure what format they are.
Did you try any other browser like Firefox or AOSP Browser whether you are facing same issue?
can you post the website? maybe we can try the site n see if its your device, or something we can help with.
Unless the site supports HTML 5 video you will need to use a different browser and install flash.

I tried it with the stock browser and it does not work with it either (fyi im using cm10.. here are the links)

Its the videos that are embedded with the page.
I looked at those and also found the videos did not play. This is strange because I can stream flas from other sites (flash apk in Maxthon browser).
The videos played fine for me ( it takes a half a minute before it starts playing ) on both AOSP browser and Firefox beta.
I am using Team EOS nightly 37 + franco kernel r25.
Hi all
I recently got hands on an S4.
It bugs me that it cannot run flash (properly)
I've installed Flash and a Flash player like SWF player.
When I launch a game it starts for some frames and then crashes/freezes. Some games work, but the most dont.
I can run them with browsers like firefox and UC browser (or whatever its called)
But the performance isnt smooth like using the SWF player.
Also looked up on other stuff like the stock launcher or dolphin (with flash support)
Its the same there, it starts some frames and then crashes
So is there any new/better way to start flash?

Tried it - its really unstable and slow
Might not be able to get it to work the way you want (I only use it with browsers/on web which obviously works fine once you install it manually) given Adobe stopped supporting Flash on Android a while back.

Yeah, so far UC browser is the fastest one handling the flashes (but not crispy enough) but not all flashes are working.
Gotta wait then. Maybe someone mods/creates something new
I haven't found an apk for flash that works yet. Has anyone else or for dolphin version 8.x or higher or the AOSP browser?
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
There are all versions for 4.0 at that link, I don't use AOSP or dolphin on my Note 3 but .81 the newest works fine with Firefox on mine

Nope. With the latest flash version (11.1.115.81), in desktop mode, the stock browser doesn't play videos at all for me either. In mobile browser mode, youtube videos will play, but not directly in the browser. An external player takes over ( with no option to choose).
Same scenario, but with Dolphin Mini, videos play directly in the browser each time.
Using Hulu, the stock browser and Dolphin Mini both play video clips within the browser window while in mobile mode. It seems to be a made for mobile browsing kind of video player. As soon as switch to desktop mode, both fail to play any videos. The stock browser complains that Adobe flash player isn't installed, while Dolphin Mini receives a system not supported message.
As far as flash content goes (games, ads, banners, etc), the stock browser isn't having any of it (mobile or desktop). It just won't display it.
Dolphin Mini handles banners and advertisements pretty well in both modes. I was also able to get this game to load beyond the play button screen quite a few times, but it crashed right after tapping start on every attempt.
I don't really know what the best methods are to test flash, but from what I'm seeing, we may be SOL for the time being.
Have you guys checked out the latest version of Maxthon browser?
I HATED this browser when i tried it years ago, but they totally re-wrote it and its pretty amazing!
plays flash beautifully as well,
