I have been unable to use Flash Player in Firefox on KitKat. I have to use Dolphin.

Did you select auto play or tap to play in the plugin settings? If one doesn't work, give the other a try. The setting is a bit fickle.
Also, did you just place the APK in the folder? Have you tried simply installing the official flasplayer apk as an actual app?
(though I've swapped to Dolphin, the last few recent Firefox updates have made it painfully slow.)

I did, of course, install the APK. It would have been pointless not to. I did not tweak the plugin settings though. Websites I visit do not recognize that Flash is installed and will not even offer the Flash content. The problem with Dolphin is that many websites do not render correctly. Oracle support, for example does not render or work right with Dolphin. Neither do other elaborate support sites such as the HP server support system. That means that I must keep FF on hand for those.

1) Please make sure that Dolphin Jetpack is enabled in the Settings.
2) Download and install <a>this Flash Player(http://goo.gl/VMivpL) on the right top on this link(http://dolphin.com/lab/en). If you have installed the other Flash Player before, please uninstall it first.
3) Make sure that the flash setting in Dolphin Browser (Click Menu > Settings > Web Content > Flash Player) is on. Follow steps mentioned above and find out whether it works. I get it from their website.

Ok so here is flash 11 which works with hulu by tricking it that the flash player is a desktop version. This mod is 100% the work of Vgeezy from thrive forums. i am just reposting it here.
Instructions:
1) Download the apk
2) Uninstall flash on the transformer
3) Install apk
4) Set user agent in browser to desktop (open browser-setting-advanced-user agent string- desktop)
5) Go to www.hulu.com and enjoy!
If these instructions dont work try this: (Credit Cowballz69)
1) Set flash to always on on the browser
2) Disable pictures to make sure you boot original flash in market (browser-settings-advanced-uncheck display pictures)
3) Play any flash video with original flash app
4) Uninstall flash from market
5) Install modded flash.apk
6) play any hulu video now
If your flash settings are set to on demand u must scroll down and click the green arrow on the right next to "share this video" to enable the flash. otherwise u can keep flash on always on in settings. (i hate flash ads so i keep on on-demand)
For a frame rate boost u can go to browser-settings-advanced-and uncheck load images (thanks cowballz69)
also if u want an easier ui to access vids some ppl prefer http://www.hulu.com/widget/player but i think that is better suited for smaller phone screen
if u are having problems and it doesn't work make sure you have the new 10.3 installed from market, install the modded apk over top of that then uninstall Flash again and then install the modded apk. (Thanks MonsterAndroid)
No luck here. Maybe I'm doin it wrong.

What is the error it gives u? Does it say platform not supported? or it needs higher version of flash?
works perfect. However please add this to instructions *must switch flash from on demand to always on

Ok will add tidbit about ondemand and pictures off as options. But u can still use with ondemand there is a little arrow next to share this video that allows u to turn on flash for those that hate to keep it always on to avoid pesky flash ads.
Does not work for me. Says hulu is not supported on my platform. Do i need root? I just tried installling on top of 10.3,it says not installed. Then i uninstalled 10.3 and used file manager to pull up the downloaded file and installed it. No luck.

try uninstalling the modded version again. reinstall the market version. then uninstall market version and try installing the modded version. Let me know if that works.
Make sure you hit all the x's on the tabs to close out of the browser ... you cant just hit the back button to exit, that will just put it in the background processes ... remember that. Once you come back in it should work.

I did this about 5 different times with no luck. One time my TF froze and i had to hard reboot. Then i decided to switch flash to ondemand, it had been on always previously. Dont ask why i did it, I just had a haunch. Anyways, it works now. I am not sure if it finally took or if changing the option made it work, but it works now. Thx.

Not sure why its working for some and not for others. Maybe for those who are having problems post what software build version u are using. I am on the 0423 build so maybe people who are on old firmware are having problems.
If u post as much specific detail about what the problem is and how ur device is set up maybe we can figure out a solution.
i'm on 8.2.3.9-20110423
I had flash 10.2 installed. put flash 10.3_hulu into a folder on my transformer.
uninstalled flash 10.2, then used Ghost Commander to locate the 10.3 & install it.
tried the stock browser, with the user agent set to Desktop... didnt work.
tried Dolphin HD with user agent set to desktop... didnt work.
rebooted. tried both again. didnt work.
uninstalled 10.3_hulu. rebooted. installed 10.3 (marketplace version). then uninstalled it. then re-stalled the hacked version. rebooted. tried both stock & dolphin. nothing. changed dolphin's plug-in settings from "always on" to "on demand." still nothing.
got angry. cursed out friends on xboxlive because I can. made angry post on xda forum. relived the horror all over again by typing this post
just tried installed the hacked one over the standard one. still doesnt work. uninstalled then installed hacked on again. still nothing.
Only way I was able to get it to work was by setting plug in to On Demand.
Got it to work on mine. Downloaded the .apk file and ran it from file manager. Failed to install first time. Uninstalled the stock version then reran the modded one. Installation completed then. Had to drop the show resolution down to 480. 720 was a bit to choppy. Biggest problem right now, is that the Hulu screen wasn't intended for a touchscreen interface.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
got it to work on mine but its laggy when its running on full screen.
Mine wasn't working with the apk from the older post...I kept getting the "unsupported on your platform" message right when I got into Hulu.com.
When I loaded this apk and followed the steps...I got all the way to choosing and watching a vid before I got that message....
but still no joy.
Hi, Just got my TF and attempted to install flash player. However, i get a message saying it cannot be installed because of my country (Trinidad and Tobago).
Flash capability was an important feature for me, so I would like to know what can I do to overcome this problem...short of moving to another country.
You could search for flash player apk and you should be able to get it that way.
edit: I've uploaded Flash 10.1 here, the latest version is 10.3.
http://www.mediafire.com/?tmggbys8czlq5mc
Okay, sorry but I'm new to android...first day actually. I understand the concept of this. The file is the android package file for flash player. If I DL it to my TF, how do I install/setup on the device?
And also...do you recommend searching for 10.3 apk, because an initial google search gave a few results for 10.3, or should i stick with 10.1 that you posted. Thanks.
just go to where you stored it with the file manager app included and open it. Also 10.3 is better.
Okay, thanks for the quick solutions. Off to try.
One thing you will need to do before you can just install it is to go to settings>applications then put a check mark in the 'unknown sources' box. You probably wont be able to install that file unless you do. Then use the inbuilt file manager to install the apk file as seshmaru said above.
And Flash 10.3 is here:

No worries, when you try to install an app from the file manager without having it enabled it tells you and asks you if you want it to redirect you to settings to allow it.

Cool. They've thought of everything then.
Success
Tried it and it worked. Got a message saying it was successfully installed.
Or maybe not....there isn't any icon for the flash player app and websites using flash tell me that I need flash player.
After DLing the apk file, i went to the location and opened it. It said installing, than said successfully installed. Any ideas??
Enable the plugin in the browser.

Sorry ....but...how exactly do I do that?
browser settings>advanced>enable plug-ins. Set to either always on, or on demand if you prefer to click and select the things that load.
Ok, got it to work! Nice.
But, can it work in firefox as well? Pages with flash work in the browser, but in my firefox app
I've installed Wanamlite [ROM][CWM][DXLP9 Android 4.0.3] Deodexed Stock on my Samsung Galaxy SII phone.
I also installed Adobe Flash Player 11.1
---
But I can't play (see) any flash content via any browser(Stock's browser, firefox, opera) .
When I start Flash Player Settings Application I get this in Stock browser and firefox (attached screenshots)
Have you tried uninstalling the adobe update to see if flash works then?
you can try to uninstall it and re-download the flash.this may help if without any errors download.

I think stock browser is in mobile view
My stock browser wasnt after installing a different ROM, just try it:
Open Browser, hit Menu - Settings - Mobile view.
Try switching it on, then refresh your page.
If its on, try switching it off, then refresh.
I don't have Mobile view in Settings.

well when you update apps via play store, when you uninstall them you can choose to just remove udpates instead of removing the entire app thus going back a version to see if that's the problem.
Then Im sorry, dont know anything else you can try. Maybe try a different browser..

o , i mean after uninstall it , then back to market install again. cause last time i also got such problem after flashing a custom rom.
I seem to be unable to download files over the internet with my TF300.
I can download OK from Google Play and via torrent clients, but not from download sites (eg DepositFiles, Oron).
When I try to download a file from a website I get a "waiting for data connection" message in the Download Manager window. The download eventually times out.
I have "allow installation of non-Market apps" checked.
I have root but no ROMs.
Build is .30; ICS 4.0.3.
I have tried stock browser, ICS Browser+ and Maxthon.
I have tried clearing cache.
Anyone have a solution please?
Grateful for any advice.

Thanks R3Z4545. Installing Dolphin Mini now allows me to download from Megashare sites (but not others - no idea what makes that site so special).
Does success with Dolphin Mini indicate the issue relates to caching maybe?
I'm also thinking the culprit may be the adfree app I installed after rooting. I might tinker with that and report back after work.
regards
Adfree will prevent downloads from sites that use advertising like adfly.
Hey try downloading "download all files" and adobe reader.....i had that problem and this always helps.

Download all files doesn't seem to work on the websites I need it to. Thanks for the tip though. It will still come in handy.
And it seems Adfree wasn't the culprit after all. Uninstalling it has made no difference.
Apart from doing a factory reset, or making do with Dolphin Mini (which at least allows me to download sometimes), I'm out of ideas.
Thanks all for assist.
hi everyone
i have a samsung galaxy note 10.1 Gt-8010, and i am having trouble installing media flash player on my tablet.
On the samsung apps they suggest something like going to adobe website and download the app, do i need to go through the external SD card and after that to transferet it to my tablet? if some one has a step by step manoeuvre how to do it that will be very appreciated.
thanks

Search google for archived versions of flash player or click link. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html Scroll about half way down the page and look for then click and download the newest flash version for android 4.0 .It will be the top link in that section. Tap taskbar then tap settings then tap security then tap to check the box that will allow "install from unknown sources". When the file is downloaded click on it from the taskbar and allow install. When it is installed click the app from the all apps page and it will ask you what browser to open it in if you have multiple browsers installed. Open it in stock browser. No need to adjust settings just opening it associates it. Your done.
Dolphin browser and chrome browser DO NOT work with flash unless you edit xml prefs so do not use dolphin or chrome. Boat browser and stock browser work with flash natively. Personally I have found that boat works well stock works real well and dolphin browser when you have edited the xml works best of all.

Basically agree with description of where to get Flash Player and how to install. OTOH, having completed the install, Flash worked just fine with Dolphin (and stock browser) without editing anything. I thought Chrome just flat didn't support Flash.

What flash content did you play with dolphin? Because as far as i know it does not support flash without edit. Go to settings and look at flash status. In current dolphin versions flash is disabled and will not turn on. Dolphin plays flash content on mine because I edited it to do so. Chrome does not support add ons on mobile platform.
edditing, how?
So how do You do the edditing.?
