Adobe Flash Player 10.3.183.5

Thanks. Then I'd say the jury's still out on that one.

 

Have any problems installing this version in FF5?

 

2 versions installed..

i download it from -http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/


but now i got 2 adobe flash player installation file
Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin v 10.3.181.34
and
Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX v 10.3.183.5

what's wrong?

thanks

 

Re: 2 versions installed..

You downloaded and installed the version for Firefox, Opera etc. which is the plugin version. You still have the old Internet explorer/ActiveX version installed

 

Re: 2 versions installed..

Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX v 10.3.183.5 is the old version ? should i uninstall it?

thanks

 

Re: 2 versions installed..

10.3.183.5 is the current version, 10.3.181.34 is the older.

Re: 2 versions installed..

Whoops sorry, I mixed them up. Perhaps it's best to download the uninstaller to remove everything and then download the latest for the browser you are using.

Okay, I found the reason why some people want to trash him. It's in the second paragraph here -http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Expert-says-Adobe-omits-mention-of-400-Flash-Player-flaws-1321881.html-.

Pity.

 

Ah yes I remember that, didn't think it was the same guy. Irresponsible thing to do. This 2nd paragraph says it all.

Anyway I'm not doubting his skills (I'm still thankful flash has less exploits now than it did last week), he just appears to have a bit of a big mouth.

 

Things are cleared up, Travis Ormandy and Google did massive fuzz testing with 20TB of Flash files and 2000 CPU cores for a period of 3 weeks, in total they found 400 unique crashes, which were 106 unique vulnerabilities, Adobe has confirmed this.

Guys, anybody else here who has problems installing the latest Flash Player ? On several computers, when I launch the installation process running as admin, it initiates all right, but then hangs and stops while deleting the Flash Player exec I previously downloaded from Adobe...

When I download again and relaunch install, it says that two instances of installation cannot run at the same time, but it never completes. Previous versions installed seamlessly, dunno why it now is such a messy operation.

Any clue?

Thanks

 

Have you tried downloading and running the flash uninstaller first?

 

Also look in your System AppData Temp Folder when they disappear they end up there then you can run the files from that location!

HTH,

Seems like the installer tries to do an online install, any way to do it offline, like previous versions? Where to dwnld offline Flash Player installer?

Thanks

 

ActiveX version(IE)

Plugin version(Firefox, Opera etc)
https://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe

 

Very nice! Thanks a lot.

 

No problem btw these links are really handy, they keep working when new version are released.

 

Just curious-- how did you get your hands on these direct ftp links?

 

Hi,

While I'm not BoerenkoolMetWorst (hey BoerenkoolMetWorst, I hope you don't mind ), those links were already posted in this same thread by The Seeker in reply # 6, and by roddy32 in the Update Alerts Forum:
https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=305138

And more general info was posted by Ron (and siljaline) in:
https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=305137

The links have been posted in the Update Alerts Forum for quite some time.
(The Update Alerts Forum threads are not open for discussion, so it is good to have threads like this in case more discussion is needed for whatever reason).

The only difference is that BoerenkoolMetWorst gave the https links while the others gave the http links.

 

And if you can't remember those links, there's always http://flashtester.org, a site I myself forgot the name of recently until someone reminded me.

 

I always use the uninstaller first and so far have not had any problems installing new versions of Flash.
