Temporarily disable flash player in web browsers



It can be useful for web developers to temporarily disable flash to test how a page will look if a viewer has chosen to disable this type of content.

Also, as many websites insist on prompting the user to install flash to view their content it is sometimes preferable to simply disable (rather than uninstall) flash if it is not required.

In Internet Explorer 7 and above:

Run Internet Explorer
Go to Tools » Manage Add-ons
Select the Flash add-on (Shockwave Flash Object) and click Disable
Note: If Flash is not available from the list, first select All add-ons from the show dropdown menu.
Close the dialog box
Hit F5 (refresh)
Note: IE may require a restart.
In Internet Explorer 6:

Run Internet Explorer
Go to Tools » Manage Add-ons...
Select the Flash add-on (Shockwave Flash Object) and click Disable
Note: If Flash is not available from the list, first select Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer from the show dropdown menu.
Close the dialog box
Hit F5 (refresh)
Note: IE may require a restart.
In Firefox:

Firefox does not seem to have a simple method of disabling flash content without the use of extensions (third-party software):

Adblock Plus is a useful plug-in for blocking ads and banners and is good way to block unwanted content in Firefox.
Flashblock is a plug-in that is more appropriate to blocking flash content and when installed will replace it with a button that can be clicked to view the content.
Unfortunately, both of these solutions block the entire content from the page rather than just disabling the .swf file and allowing any additional html content contained within the object (which is what a viewer would be able to see if flash was not installed).

In Opera:

Run Opera
Press F12
Uncheck Enable plug-ins
Close the dialog box
Hit F5 (refresh)
Note: As well as disabling all flash content, this will also disable any other third-party software that is being used on the page.
In Safari:

Run Safari
Go to Preferences » Security
Uncheck Enable plug-ins
Close the dialog box
Hit F5 (refresh)
Note: As well as disabling all flash content, this will also disable any other third-party software that is being used on the page.

Queries inside you before start anything - Ask about it

Whenever we start to test the application include your question to overcome many issues. These are the question are rolled out inside my mind....

What is my domain?
Which domain u r going to work?
What is the limits and credits?
Is there anything available already?
In which language my app is going to run?
What are the advantages & disadvantages of language?
What is the requirement of app?
How my app got designed?
What is the customers need?
What to test?
Why to test?
How to Test?
When to start test?
When to finish test?
Which place to test?
What is the major functionality to test?
What's your methodology?
What’s the server name?

Is this true? Do you  really think it is true?
Is this something good about that "third" person?
Is this something that is useful in someway to me?
What if that person about whom we are talking is present right here and listening to you - will you still talk the same way?
