Flash player 11.9.900.170 for portable browsers (32 and 64 bits)

Flash 11 is outdated, you should rather get Flash 12 there (well, except for Linux where the latest version is 11.2.x and still maintained at the moment)

Since it seems version 11.9.900.170 is still somehow in high demand, I just added a new mirror here.

An important warning to Tor (would-be) users: if you choose to add the Flash plugin to TorBrowser (or whatever browser you use with Tor), this will most likely BREAK the anonymity. Flash tends to connect using any connection it can get, so it’s able to leak your IP to any site that really wants to get it.

Adobe just released a new version of their Flash Player: version 11 final aka 11.0.1.152 (now updated to 11.9.900.170). The main new feature is that it finally has a 64 bits version! There’s also Stage 3D, which allows 3D GPU rendering, finally graphic intensive Flash games will be fast ^^. I’m not sure of what was subsequently added in versions 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3. I suppose versions 11.3.300.262 and .265 fix the chaos introduced in 11.3.300.257 with all the crashes in plugin-based browsers (at least, with Opera and Fx). This paragraph is now quite oudated… can’t wait for version 12 so that I can finally start a brand new Flash post from scratch…

To use that Flash portable, unpack it into the plugin folder for your browser, that is (paths are relative paths, relative to the portable browser’s root directory):

  • Firefox Portable: Data/plugins + set plugins.load_appdir_plugins to true in about:config
  • Opera USB: program/plugins
  • Iron or Chrome Portable: Iron/plugins

Note that Flashplayer.xpt is useless, it’s only included because it’s tiny and some people do look for it.

Here is the zip containing NPSWF32.dll (actually now named NPSWF32_11.9.900.170.dll) and flashplayer.xpt, and NPSWF64_11.9.900.170.dll, and also the new FlashPlayerPlugin_11.9.900.170.exe executable, which as far as I understood is related to Flash getting executed within a sandbox now (for some reason this executable is only provided with the 32 bits version though). You can choose your preferred download host between Megaupload and Filesonic, however note that the files hosted on FileSonic vanish after 30 days without a download, so usually only the latest versions (latest stable + latest preview if newer than stable) remain online there. Megaupload on the other hand should have all history of my uploads. It’s now on MediaFire and Uploaded.to, which I believe don’t delete old files (at least MediaFire doesn’t), so apart from the oldest versions lost in the Megaupload takedown, the more recent ones should be all there.

For developers, here is also the debug version 11.7.700.202.

Older versions

If you’re interested in even older versions, here are (NB: due to Megaupload’s closure, almost all of them are offline now :():

Bonus: megaupload and filesonic directories MediaFire directory with all my Flash Portable uploads (since the day MU was shutdown and I lost most of my previous versions…). Note that the MegaUpload one also contains a few other portable things, while the FileSonic one is regularly purged of files not downloaded within the last 30 days (so usually it contains only a few most recent versions):
(NB: those are here just for historical purpose, MU was taken down by the FBI and FS purges the files so often that the folder is empty…)

NB: in Windows 7, after installation, Flash can be found in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed for the 32 bits version and C:\Windows\System32\Macromed for the 64 bits version.

    I think its just the new sandbox update. So flash versions up to 11.2 will still work on portable versions.

    The newest version Flash 11.4.402.278.
    is running under my Firefox Portable Nightly [18.0a1 (2012-09-25)]

    Thank you, Admin.
    But aren’t there Versions for 32- and 64bit?

  5. patheticcockroach says

    I put them both in the same archive for the sake of simplicity. I haven’t found the sandbox executable wrapper (or whatever this thing is) for the 64 bits version yet; looks like there is none, although that difference between the 32 and 64 bits version seems a bit puzzling to me…

    Hi all,
    Looks like this time I’m ahead of the usual whistle blowers 😉 I’m aware version 11.5.502.149 got released some hours ago and will upload it “soon” (at worst in less than 24h, more probably within 6)

    Thank you so much, this helped out a lot!
    I in first place didn’t copy the .exe to the plugin folder, because I tend to be overcautious. Since it didn’t work, I threw caution over board and… it works as it should.

    Thank you so much! Adobe hid the files in the original locations which people take them from, and left a flash.ocx and flash util file instead of these DLLs. How did you rip them? That way we can all stay up to date instead of bugging you for the latest! Thanks again!

    Hi, (using Win7) , b4 FF 21, been enjoying your ‘releases’, all working, and installed in C:\Users\student\AppData\Local\Mozilla Firefox\plugins (the only folder FF could install). But since FF21, which was updated and intalled there also. Whatever files I put on that plugins folder, no flash works(youtube etc). In C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, there are some old(2010), dll, ocx, and exe, but cannot be deleted due to user rights etc, any help would be greatly appreciated !

    2013-06-19, 12:39 Reply
  34. bilko says

    standard FF21 installed, not portable version. Wow, thanks, just the trick in “about:config” , worked.
    There is some new problem now however, that msg on youtube(for example): “an error has occurred please try again later” , but I think it has to do with new flash version not compatible with FF yet, or something. I tried clearing cache etc, disabling
    Adblocks etc, nothing worked. Anyway thanks.

    Hi David! Thank you very much again.

    Portable browser installations seem to be a bit peculiar. Some need the flashplayerplugin.exe, some don’t – as reported by users. My portable SeaMonkey from PortableApps.com definitely depends on the .exe file. And this one cannot be found elsewere, but here.

      Anyway, glad you found the place. Bookmark it for next update 😉

        Wow. They took the time to filter just a sub-domain of mines? Some IT moron must have some time to waste… Also the site must look weird to you, without the pictures… 🙁

        I don’t know why ovh.net is not filtered and patheticcockroach is filtered. My hypotesis is that firewall has a dictionary of suspected words: pathetic-cock-roach … probably one of this words triggers something in the firewall.

        I mean, I’m surprised this very site (notepad.patheticcockroach.com) is not blocked while img.patheticcockroach.com is: it seems to be subdomain-specific.

        You’re right. But this happens also with many (not all) other sites. The domain is not filtered but, when I try to download from a sub-domain, it filters.
