Why is the Adobe Flash Player not working in Yandex. Browser?

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

Why do you need Adobe Flash Player components

By announcing the imminent abandonment of Flash Player-based software technologies, Adobe has greatly excited the developers of browser plug-ins with this news. The Adobe Flash Player software is built into the Chromium engine, in particular, into Yandex. Browser, and without it, browser plug-ins cannot work.

The disadvantage of Flash Player lies in the security vulnerabilities of both sites and the user's browser.

Why is the Flash Player not working in Yandex Browser?

Adobe Flash Player can suddenly refuse for various reasons - from incorrect settings of the plug-in itself and the browser 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 deleted, for example, due to security breaches in the browser / site, browser slowness, insufficient PC / tablet performance, sites overloaded with Flash banners, etc.

Checking Adobe Flash functionality in Yandex. Browser

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

1. Open the browser itself.

   

   For further Flash Player settings, Yandex Browser must be running

2. In the line for entering web addresses, enter the command "browser: // plugins" and press Enter.

   

   Enter the internal web address of Yandex Browser plugins

3. The list of plugins should indicate the version of Flash Player - this indicates the presence of a plugin. If there is one, leave this page.

   

   Yandex. Browser must clearly indicate the current version of Adobe Flash

4. If the Adobe Flash Player plugin is not listed, install it.

   

   No information about the current version of Flash Player

The Adobe Flash Player plug-in is included with each version of Yandex Browser. It is better to reinstall the plug-in at the same time as reinstalling the browser itself according to one of the instructions below.

Adobe Flash Player is not active

Accidental shutdown of the Flash Player plugin is most often the user's fault. To check the status of Adobe Flash, do the following:

1. Go to the already familiar address "browser: // plugins".

2. Make sure the Adobe Flash Player plugin is enabled. If not, click the Enable link.

   

   Enable plugin if it has been deactivated

3. Restart Yandex Browser. Dynamic content will now display correctly.

Incorrect installation of the Flash Player plugin

By itself, the Flash Player plug-in cannot install incorrectly, just as the same application cannot be installed twice for any of the operating systems.

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

Conflict between different versions of the Adobe Flash plugin

A conflict between different versions (dual installation) of Adobe Flash may occur for 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 with its more modern continuation PPAPI (Pepper Plugin API), promoted by Google in cooperation with Adobe. Accordingly, the latest versions of the Flash Player plug-in can be installed "alongside" the older ones.

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

1. Return to the same tab for managing Yandex Browser plugins.

2. If there are two different versions of the plugin, leave the newer enabled and disable the old one by clicking the "Disable" button.

   

   Disable one of the versions and refresh the page with the problematic Flash graphics

3. Restart Yandex Browser and reload the tab with the site that has a problem with displaying Flash content.
4. If another Adobe Flash plugin is to blame, enable the old one and disable the other. Reload the site page. Switching between different versions of a Flash Player plugin often helps.

Removing and reinstalling Adobe Flash using Windows

To eliminate the consequences of errors that occurred immediately during the operation of Adobe Flash or after a while, 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;
• intermittent playback, slowdown of videos and animations on sites;
• displaying a simplified text version of the site (purely on HTML layout, without design, but with ordinary pictures).

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

1. Click "Start", from the Windows main menu, select "Control Panel", then go to "Programs and Features".

   

   Select a software tool to add or remove programs and OS components

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

   

   Select the component to be removed and click the remove button

3. Confirm the request to uninstall Adobe Flash (if any) and wait for the uninstall procedure. Restart Windows.

4. Go to adobe.com and get the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player installer.

   

   Choose the version of the Adobe Flash plugin that suits you best

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

   

   Click on the Adobe website to start installing Flash Player

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

   

   Adobe Flash must not only download but also install

7. Restart Windows again and refresh the problem page in Yandex. Browser.

Yandex Browser version is not up to date

Checking for Yandex Browser updates makes sense when:

• The browser itself has not been updated for a long time - a year or more, and auto-checking of its new versions was initially (after installation) turned off by you;
• a number of plugins refused, in particular, Adobe Flash began to give permanent errors on any sites using dynamic graphics;
• a gap has formed in the protection line of Yandex Browser (accounts in social networks and online versions of messengers are hacked; it is impossible to send / receive money in any of the payment systems and in any bank through your personal account, which is what the data sites warn about organizations);
• sites do not open or work poorly (lack of necessary functions and menus).

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

Updating Yandex. Browser (without reinstalling)

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

1. Go to the "Menu - Advanced" command.

   

   Go to the additional submenu to get to the Yandex Browser update

2. Select "About Browser".

   

   Go to the info panel about the version of Yandex Browser and its update

3. The browser will request information about updates from the browser.yandex.ru website. If the update has been released, the Update button will appear. Click it.

   

   Click the update start button in Yandex Browser

4. The browser will report a successful update.

   

   Return to sites where dynamic graphics were showing incorrectly after the browser reports a successful update

Now go to the site where the problem with displaying Flash content persisted.

Complete reinstallation of Yandex Browser

Removing the old and installing the updated version of Yandex. Browser includes:

• closing Yandex. Browser processes in Windows Task Manager;
• removing the current version of the browser in Windows;
• downloading and reinstalling the new Yandex Browser.

Reinstalling the browser "from scratch" allows you to get rid of the "remains" of the old version, which may interfere with the work of the new one. Do the following:

1. Start Windows Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + alt=" + Del or Ctrl + Esc + Win. Go to the “Processes” tab, right-click on any of the “browser.exe” processes (if there is more than one) and select “End Process Tree”. You can also click on "End Process".

   

   Select the Windows process of interest and terminate it

2. If you didn't have many tabs open, simply close the application from the Task Manager. Go to the Applications tab, select Yandex Browser and click the End task button.

   

   Use the cancel task button as a replacement for the closing button in Yandex. Browser

3. Click "Start", select "Control Panel" from the Windows main menu.

   

   "Control Panel" is opened from the main menu in all OS versions

4. Select the Programs and Features toolbox.

   

   Open this item to remove / replace the programs of interest

8. Yandex Browser will be uninstalled. Restart Windows.

9. Go from any other browser (for example, Microsoft Edge or Mozilla Firefox) to the web site browser.yandex.ru and click the "Yandex Browser" download button on the site.

   

   Click the browser download button

10. Windows will ask you to save the file. Select a folder on any of the drives and click the "Save" button. The current browser will download the file.

    

    Wait until the download of the file "yandex.exe" (or "yandexbrowser.exe")

11. Run the downloaded file "yandex.exe".

    

    Run the file to help install the browser

12. Windows system pre-requests permission to run programs downloaded from the Internet. Click the Run button.

    

    Confirm the launch of the Yandex Browser package by clicking the corresponding button

13. Click on the "Start using" button. Yandex Browser will be installed again.

    

    Click the button to start using Yandex. Browser

14. Launch the newly reinstalled Yandex Browser and check for a working (and updated) version of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in according to the instructions above.

Outdated Java component

Adobe Flash isn't the only one 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 script / script PHP, which is the main handler of user requests on the website and works hard within the server, they are downloaded to the user's PC or mobile device along with the rendered HTML page. The full version of the same page, in addition to pictures and animations, contains auxiliary *.js files that carry additional functions in the form of advanced menus, sidebars, soft buttons, checkboxes and radio buttons, highlighting on mouse over, etc. Without Java sites would not be what they are today.

Checking the activity of Java technology in Yandex Browser

To verify that the Java plugin is currently running, do the following:

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

   

   Go to the general settings of Yandex Browser to test the operation of Java technology

2. Click the Show Advanced Settings button. A complete list of browser settings and capabilities will be displayed below.

   

   Click the button for displaying advanced settings for Yandex Browser

3. In the column "Personal data protection" click the button "Configure content".

   

   Click the button for showing content settings on pages in Yandex. Browser

4. Verify that "Allow JavaScript on all sites" is enabled.

   

   Check that JavaScript is enabled in Yandex Browser

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

Updating Java programs

The best way to update Java is to completely uninstall this engine from your PC and reinstall it. To do this, do the following:

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

   

   Select the desired item in the list of applications

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

   

   Confirm Java Uninstall Request

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

   

   Click the start Java download button

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

   

   Click on the link to download the software file

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

   

   Press the confirm button to proceed with the installation

6. The Java program will be installed. Wait until the Windows Installer Wizard notifies you that the installation was successful.

   

   Click the exit button to exit the installer

7. Restart Windows and start Yandex Browser again. Check if the Adobe Flash Player plugin is working properly.

Hardware incompatibility of the PC with the Adobe Flash version

Failures at the hardware level that caused errors in the operation of the Adobe Flash plug-in indicate an unrecoverable incompatibility of PC and Windows components with already installed applications. Fortunately, you can turn off hardware acceleration to reduce the load on the Flash Player plugin.

1. Go to the site with Flash content, right-click on the problem animation (or banner) and select "Options".

   

   Select Adobe Flash settings for Yandex. Browser

2. Clear the Enable Hardware Acceleration check box in the Adobe Flash Options window.

   

   Hardware acceleration should not be enabled for Flash content

3. Click the Close button and refresh the page with broken content.

Adobe Flash Player will move to a more stable mode of operation.

Errors on site pages

When all of the above troubleshooting measures for Flash Player fail, 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 your tariff or hosting provider.
• the hosting software 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 a lack of income. If you are a site visitor, look for alternative sites for your topic, where problems with Flash content are not observed.

Engine flaws for the site

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

Other problems with Flash Player

In addition to the above problems with Adobe Flash, the following reasons may affect the operation of this plug-in (and its other software components at the Windows level):

• overloading the PC with simultaneously running applications. In this case, the display of active graphics on the open pages of Yandex Browser "slows down" or interrupts, and the browser itself is slowed down. Close all interfering programs using the "Task Manager" and refresh the pages of the currently faulty sites;

• malicious actions aimed, for example, at overloading the performance of a PC or tablet by repeatedly repeating system processes (browser.exe, explorer.exe, svchost.exe, computer chipset driver processes, etc.) by launching them with premeditated destructive or “garbage , unspecified parameters. Use time-tested anti-virus programs, such as Windows Defender, 350 Total Security, Kaspersky Anti-Virus (or Kaspersky Internet Security), Panda, Avast, NOD32, Dr. Web, etc.;

  

  Use proven antivirus software to protect your device from malicious activity that overloads PC performance

• lack of speed of the Internet connection. Videos that do not have time to download at a low speed, for example, 32-64 kbps, will not make themselves known until all the data is loaded by the browser itself.

Adobe Flash Player problems are easily fixed. The main thing is to sort out the errors of the plug-in and of the Yandex Browser itself by the method of exclusion.
