Flash Player is one of the main components of any browser, without which it becomes difficult to browse the content of Internet pages: video takes a long time to load, pictures are not displayed, and online games simply freeze. What to do if Flash Player does not work correctly or does not start at all?
Let's consider possible options for solving software problems in the three most popular browsers.
Doesn't work in Opera browser
In most cases, the problem with Flash Player in Opera occurs after updating the browser. In this case, the main problem lies not only in the freezing of a video or image, but also of entire pages. In order to properly configure the operation of the "flash player", you need to do a number of the following:
1. Restarting the plugin. To do this, enter the following combination opera: plugins into the Opera address bar. Further on the left side we see several tabs "All", "Enabled", "Disabled". Click on "All". We will see a list of included plugins. Next to Flash Player, click the "Disable" button, and then back "Enable" and restart the browser.
2. Updating the plugin.

3. In the filter field, enter the following combination dom.ipc.plugins.enabled. The value "true" will appear here. Double click on it. The value will change to the name "false".
4. Restart your browser.
5. If the problem persists, you need to check if there are any earlier versions of Flash Player on your computer. If so, they must be removed and the PC rebooted.
Incorrect work in the Google Chrome browser
Often, the incorrect operation of Flash Player is explained by the presence of a previously installed version of the software, which conflict with each other. In order to fix this problem, enter chrome: // plugins / into the address bar of Google Chrome.
Here we will see Adobe Flash Player (2 files) and version name. If there are two files, then disable the earlier version.
Restart your browser. If the problem persists, we repeat the same action, only disable the new Flash Player and enable the old one. In this case, do not forget to restart the program.
Watching videos on the Internet is almost the most demanded function of the Internet. Watching films, videos, clips of your favorite artists with all this we come across on the Internet every day.
