Does firefox work with windows ten?
|
Arlene
Hi list: Arlene here! I have a sighted friend who’s determined to make fire fox work with her win ten computer. She will not listen to me when I tell her it does not work. This is spasifically for Canadians to try this site with win ten and firefox. And watches the young nd the restless, she gets a message stating that adobe flash player has crashed. Does anyone know if fire fox is compatible with windows ten? thanks.

Firstly, Firefox is actively being developed for Windows so I'm not sure why anyone would think it doesn't work with Windows 10. I run it myself and it's as stable here as it was on Windows xp. The issue seems to involve Adobe Flash specifically, so it's a little more complicated than just asking if Firefox works. I personally don't have Flash and don't have any intention of installing it. I have seen it crash in many places for many years, and there have always been problems between Flash and Firefox as far back as the XP days. So Firefox may work fine, and Adobe Flash may work perfectly for some websites, but I'm not sure what to suggest if your friend is hell bent on using Firefox for this particular site. I can tell you that it probably has very little to do with Firefox, and may not even be related to Windows 10. Sometimes, we just have to conclude that certain sites and browsers don't get along. Google Chrome is pretty awesome if the friend doesn't like IE. Simon On 2017-02-20 21:56, Arlene wrote:

it'd be nice if they had an html5 interface. then we wouldn't have to be worrying about flash and it's overwheling meed to crash, etc.

Flash crashes a lot on firefox but firefox, google and others are actively discouraging insecure flash though I still have it on systems because it is still used.

Most sites like youtube use html5 now which is the new standard and which firefox supports. On 21/02/2017 7:23 p.m., Simon Jaeger wrote:

Most sites will work with it, from time to time firefox and chrome won't work with a site that doesn't support it but most sites do. If a site doesn't work you need to ask its admins to support other brousers than ie and edge and things. It may take a while but eventually stuff that didn't will support most things.

Firefox - v 51 - works fine here on my windows 10 64 bit machine, along with chrome, IE11 and opera, since I use different browsers for different activities.
And, for example, on youTube, flash works fine in firefox, but, on that site, it firstly told me to update to a newer version of flash player, and, then went back to that site, it firstly did crash flash player, and, then when restarted firefox, it told me that content is unavailable unless you're located in Canada.
In other words, don't think problem is with firefox, but, with that site, or something.
Stay well

I've never had any issues with it. Flash player is a whole other story though. That very much depends on which version of the flash player is on it. I've noticed recently that on any machine, any attempt to update flash player fails and the adobe site then asks you to download a flash player removal tool before you try to install again. I've not tried this in 10, but really 10 is only a souped up windows 8 in any case.

Which version ogf firefox though? I have to say I have not had a lot of luck with the 64 bit versions of firefox on anything much, but the old 32 bit one seems fine to me. Brian bglists@...

it depends on firefox version. officially firefox supports windows ten since its 40 version. you can use firefox 40 and newer version with windows ten. i agree with shaun. try to replace html5 with flash and avoide using flash because its security problems.

Of course it's compatible with Windows 10.
There is a problem with Flash crashinggg when using
Firefox. I don't know much about it but others can probably propose
solutions. Or your friend can look up the problem by doing a Google
search. She shouldn't download anything from sites that offer to correct
problems but she will find discussions on reputable sites such as Bleeping
Computer in the results.
As for why one specific site doesn't work, I don't
know.

I doubt it's most sites. Many major sites use
HTML 5 but a lot of sites still use only Flash.
Anyone who cares about audio listening is cutting
off their nose to spite their face by not having Flash available. If you
don't want to have the risk of being exposed to malicious Flash in advertising,
tell Flash not to run or tell it to ask before running. Increasingly, this
isn't necessarty because browsers are increasingly not running Flash content
such as advertising unless the user takes an action to have it run. Of
course, you need to be using a recent version of the browser. Internet
Explorer, which is becoming increasingly archaic, doesn't have this
feature.
I'm not saying that audio or audio/video material
can't have malicious content but if you use reputable sites, it is
unlikely. Flash advertising has a higher chance of being malicious and it
slows down loading of pages and may cause crashes. If your browser doesn't
automatically stop it from running, you may want to change the setting in the
plugin. For those who use Ad Blockers or script blockers, you are blocking
Flash advertising in general except on white listed sites.

for security reasons and avoide system infected by malicious flash content,type about:config in addresss press enter twice. in the search box peist plugin.state.flash press enter on it. delete its number which is 2 by default. type 1 instead of 2 and press enter to work. because 2 means its activate by default. but when you change it in to 1, it asks from users whether open flash content or not. when its not loaded automaticly, it helps you to increase your security very much. hope that helps and God bless you!

It's a firefox setting. it has nothing to do
with Windows. therefore, it will work in all versions of Windows you can
run Firefox on. But as has been said, these settings are available in the
add ons dialog when working with the Flash plugin. the method being
discussed is just another way of changing the settings.
