Download Adobe Flash Player for Yandex Browser. Adobe Flash Player is outdated or not working - how to update, remove and install the latest version of the free flash player plugin. Installing Flash Player on Yandex browser
Hello, friends! If you watched movies through the Yandex browser without any problems, played online games, viewed GIFs, and now none of this works, then let’s figure out what the reason is.
All media content of the site is reproduced on the page thanks to the plugin Flash Player. In all web browsers that are based on Chromium, and the Yandex browser is one of them, this plugin is built in by default and runs automatically on open sites. But it happens that instead of the Player, the site displays just a white or gray background, and you can’t watch the movie.
Or in the window itself a puzzle is shown, and under it the inscription “Plugin Adobe Flash Player is disabled."
This could happen due to incorrect browser settings by the user himself, as a result of a virus picked up on the computer, or due to software failures. Therefore, in this article, let's look at how to get Flash Player to work again on websites and enable it in the Yandex browser.
How to launch Flash Player directly on the site
If you don't have White background in the playback window and there is an inscription in it that the plugin is disabled, then you can enable it right there on the website. Click on the puzzle right click mouse and select from context menu"Run this module" option. After this, the game or movie should start playing.
If this item is inactive, as shown in the screenshot below, or the window is empty, then most likely the Adobe Flash Player plugin is simply disabled. Let's move on to the second point.
How to enable the Flash Player plugin in the Yandex browser
If you are unable to get Flash Player to work, then you need to make sure that it is not disabled in the browser itself. To do this, open the “Plugins” page in the Yandex browser - paste into the address bar: browser://plugins and press “Enter”.
After this, all connected plugins will be displayed in a list. Find Adobe Flash Player there. If you see an “Enable” button under the name, it means this plugin is disabled. Click on this button to enable Flash Player.
The enabled plugin should not be a muted color, but a rich color, and there should be a “Disable” button underneath it, as shown in the screenshot below.
After you enable Adobe Flash Player, you will again be able to watch movies, animations, and more on the Internet.
If the Flash Player plugin is enabled in the browser itself, but the content of Internet pages is still not displayed and you need to launch it manually, then you may have an outdated version of Adobe Flash Player installed, and because of this the browser is blocking its operation.
Default, Adobe program Flash Player installed on your computer is updated automatically as soon as a new update appears on the official Adobe website. But for various reasons, the settings may be changed, and automatic update can't do it. In this case, you can do it yourself. You can read the detailed article by following the link.
It may also happen that the Adobe Flash Player program was accidentally removed from your computer by you or by a virus. This problem can be solved quite simply. Go to the official Adobe website: https://get.adobe.com/ru/flashplayer/otherversions/. By clicking on the link, you will be taken to the Flash Player download page.
Then select the installed operating system Windows system 7, 10 or another available from the list, and indicate for which browser you need to download Flash Player. Uncheck "Additional offers" and click the "Download" button.
Run the downloaded file and wait for Flash Player to install.
I think you managed to enable Flash Player in the Yandex browser, and now you can watch your favorite movies online or play online games without any problems.
For normal operation video, audio and some game elements in the browser require the installation of a flash player. Moreover, each browser requires specific version. But which player should be installed in the Yandex browser?
Flash technology began its development on the Internet with the development of Adobe - Adobe Flash Player. Subsequently, the plugin of the same name was built into any browser using the store or full installation to the computer you are using. Using such a player makes it easier to play videos on popular resources, so in its absence, some parts built on Flash technology may not start.
Many browsers use this particular player, and Yandex was no exception - until recently, the technology was built directly into the browser and was constantly supported by it. Nevertheless, this plugin can be confidently called the first and only player based on flash technology.
Part two. What is now built into the Yandex browser and why?
Starting in 2016, Yandex stopped making mandatory embedding Adobe plugin Flash Player in the browsers it produces. This decision was made as a result of the development of technology - more and more companies are refusing to use the technology of the same name, content is beginning to be presented on the basis of other, no less successful forms - HTML5 and WEBGl.
On a note! In addition, the developer of Adobe Flash Player announced that the product will be completely discontinued by 2020. This means that by the named period of time the technology will be replaced by other developments.
But it is worth saying that this moment cooperation has not yet been terminated, and if necessary, Yandex browser users can install the plugin they need there. And how to do this - read below.
Part three. Do you still need a player? It can be installed
Important! If you have an old version of the Yandex browser installed on your computer, then you do not need to install a flash player - you just need to use it regularly.
But if it is not there, then there are two ways:
- install via browser settings;
- visit the official website and download the player from there.
Option one is to configure the browser the way you need it
To do this you will need:
Yes, when you request Adobe Flash Player, the store will advise you to go to the official development website and provide a link to it, but will offer slightly stripped-down versions of the plugin from other developers, designed for viewing only videos. Here is their list:
- YouTube™ Flash-HTML5;
- Flash Player for YouTube™;
- YouTube™ All Flash® Player;
- YouTube™ use Flash Player.
Table for comparing the benefits of flash player plugin versions
| Name | Type | Purpose and features |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube™ Flash-HTML5 | Embeddable plugin | For video viewing only. Combines functions official application flush and new technology, gradually displacing it, so that it will allow you to enjoy all the benefits |
| Flash Player for YouTube™ | Embeddable plugin | Only for watching videos on YouTube. Powered by flash technology |
| YouTube™ All Flash® Player | Embeddable plugin | Only for watching videos (YouTube). Powered by a mixture of technologies - Flash and HTML5 |
| YouTube™ use Flash Player | Embeddable plugin | Video only |
As can be seen from the table, the extensions offered in the store are designed mainly to work with a single resource, while the official full-size plugin is a medium for a variety of content.
Option two is to install the full-size version of Adobe Flash Player on your PC
The need for installation is explained by the configuration of the purchased PC - on some of them the plugin is built in automatically and only needs to be updated.
With absence:
Part four. The player is installed, but for some reason it doesn't work. What is the reason?
This problem is not uncommon. The lack of normal operation of the player can be explained by several reasons:
In the first case, to fix the problem, it is enough to allow the page to use the player. This can be done by refreshing the page and confirming the request to connect the player, or by clicking on the puzzle-like icon in the address bar of the browser.
In the second - by deleting old version player and installing a new one by downloading from the official website.
Video - What flash player is needed for Yandex browser
Hello, dear friends! For stable operation animation and video files, the latest (updated) version of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in must be used. Let's figure out how to update the flash player in the Yandex browser.
Why is this necessary?
Many webmasters upload animation fragments to their site to make it easier for visitors to perceive information. Without this plugin, it will be impossible to view the animation.
If the plugin is missing, then instead of the video, a black screen will be displayed in this place. It is also possible that a message will be displayed stating that you must have Adobe Flash Player to view it.
But, fortunately, this plugin is integrated into Yandex Browser initially, so you don’t have to install it. But at the same time it needs to be updated. Otherwise, some animations will not play and the browser itself will constantly remind the user about the release of a new version.
In addition, in new versions something new is often added, bugs are fixed and work is optimized, so it’s worth updating even if the animation works stably.
How to update Flash Player
Developers of each modern browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla, Opera) constantly release updates for them, and Yandex.Browser is no exception. And Flash Player was originally built into Yandex.Browser itself, and therefore, in order to update the plugin, you only need to install new version the web browser itself. Therefore, you can update Adobe Flash Player for Yandex browser absolutely free by updating the browser itself.
To do this, open its settings, then click on the “About” tab Yandex browser" After this, a window will open where you can automatic check for update. If after checking it turns out that a newer version has been released, it will be downloaded and installed immediately.
Not long ago I also wrote an article -. It describes the entire update process in detail.
If you are already using the latest version, then you should try updating the Adobe Flash Player for the Yandex browser separately. To do this, just launch any computer cleaning software (or at least the control panel), and delete the program there. Immediately after this, reboot the computer.
Now all that remains is to go to the official website of the program, then download and install the new version of the plugin from there. All browsers must be closed during installation of the program. After the installation is complete, you need to reboot again.
Everything is ready, now all that remains is to check whether the plugin works in Yandex Browser. This is very easy to do; just open any website that has a video or some kind of animation. Good luck and see you soon!

What is a plugin?
A plugin (module) is a software block that is built into Yandex Browser and expands its capabilities. Unlike add-ons, a plugin usually does not have an interface. Plugins are used to play video and audio in the browser, view PDF documents, improve the performance of web services that organize online collaboration, etc.
Installing the plugin
Typically, the need to install plugins arises when you visit a site that has specific content (for example, videos). To display this content correctly, you need to install one or another plugin.
Yandex.Browser will inform you that you need to install a suitable plugin and prompt you to do so: you will see a notification at the top of the page. You will need to download the latest version of the plugin from the developer's website and install it.
How to disable the plugin?
Disable plugin autorun
By default, in Yandex Browser, Flash videos are launched automatically when the page is opened. In order to economize RAM and strengthen security in the browser, you can prevent automatic launch:
Update outdated plugins
Plugins are not automatically updated and may become outdated. Yandex Browser detects outdated plugins: if the plugin is outdated, you will see a message about this under the address bar:
To install the latest version of the plugin, select Update plugin.
If you want to perform the required action without updating the plugin, click Run just this time. In this case, a message about blocking the plugin will also appear the next time you launch Yandex Browser.
The Flash Player plugin is already built into the Yandex web browser, which means you don’t need to download it separately - you can immediately proceed to setting it up.
- Allow Flash to run on all sites. This item means that all sites that have Flash content will automatically launch this content. Today, web browser developers do not recommend checking this box, as this makes the program vulnerable.
- Find and run only important Flash content. This item is installed by default in Yandex Browser. This means that the web browser itself makes the decision to launch the player and display content on the site. The risk is that the browser may not display the content you want to see.
- Block Flash on all sites. Complete ban on work Flash plugin Player, This step will significantly secure your browser, but you will also have to sacrifice the fact that some audio or video content on the Internet will not be displayed.
For example, for security reasons you want to disable Flash work Player, but, for example, you prefer to listen to music in social network VKontakte, which requires a well-known player to play. In this case, you will need to click on the button "Exception Management".
Today, these are all the options for setting up the Flash Player plugin in the Yandex browser. It is possible that this opportunity will soon disappear, since all the developers of popular web browsers have long been planning to abandon support for this technology in favor of strengthening browser security.
