If you have reached this page, then most likely you have seen a similar error. Today in this small instruction we will eliminate the error " Could not load plugin"In the browser quickly and easily.

First, friends, let's see what a plugin is in the browser. A plugin is in other words an add-on that extends the capabilities of an Internet browser. There are a lot of plug-ins today, and they are all in different directions. In any browser, the basic plug-ins are installed in order to properly display web resources. If a message appears in the browser stating that the plug-in could not be loaded, then the problem is most likely in Flash Player. Below we will look at several ways through which you can correct this error.

1st method. We update the Internet browser

This method is the simplest, and helps in most cases. I will show all the manipulations on the example of the popular browser Google Chrome. If you use another browser, do not worry, all actions are similar. So, in order to upgrade your browser, go to the menu - Help - About the browser.

On the page "About the program" we find and click on the "Update" button.

After the update, check if the error “Failed to load the plugin” appears again. If these actions did not help solve the problem, go on to the next method.

2nd way. We clean history in the browser

This method will help in the case when such an error appears only on some resources. It's pretty simple - you need to clear the cache and cookies in the browser.

Cache - browser temporary files that store all the web components of the browsed resources (images, pages, video files, design, etc.). Thanks to cache, the browser quickly loads the pages of previously visited sites, since the resource components are not loaded via the Internet, but from the local computer disk.

Cookies are also temporary files that store user personal data (logins, passwords, site settings, etc.). When you go to any page, all this data is sent by the browser to the server, and therefore we can access any resource without having to re-enter the login and password for authorization.

So, let's clear Cache and Cookie in your browser in order to try to fix the error. Go to the menu, select "History".

After clicking on the button "Clear History" and carefully look at the checkboxes to be marked, as shown below in the screenshot.

After that, it remains only to restart the browser.

3rd way. Disable extra plugins

If the first two methods did not help, then proceed to disable the extra plugin. First of all, open the page with installed plugins. For each browser the address is different:

If you use Chrome, then type in the address bar chrome: // plugins
If you use Yandex, then enter in the address bar browser: // plugins
If you use Opera, then enter in the address bar opera: // plugins
If you use Firefox, then type in in the address bar about: plugins

When the page with plugins opens, look carefully at whether there is an extra Flash Player plugin. If there is one, I recommend turning it off (usually it is of type PPAPI).

After shutdown, restart the browser and check again.

4th way. Reinstall Adobe Flash Player

If not one of the above methods did not help, I advise you then reinstall Adobe Flash Player. To do this, first remove the old version of the flash player in the Control Panel - Programs and Features. After that, download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player from the official site.
