The Flash Builder debugger failed to connect to the running application - flash-builder

I know this has been posted a few times like here:
Flash player debugger not working
but I have uninstalled flash player and tried to reinstall an older version of flash player 10.1 which I believe worked with my 4.5 version of Flash Builder. But I go to
http://flashplayerversion.com/
and it still says I have mac 12.0.0.44 debugger version installed in Firefox. How can I get the older version of the flash player to install? Is there something I should uninstall to make sure my system installs FP 10.1?

This solved my problem of launching the debug version of firefox:

Datastax DevCenter freezes on startup

Just installed (copied over the app from the downloaded dmg) DevCenter 1.6 on my mac, running macOs Sierra 10.12.6 with jdk 8u152 installed. The application loads a UI (splash screen then a couple of checkboxes in a window for getting started) but the UI is frozen (with the splash screen still there). No response to mouse clicks or keyboard. Also can't click on the app name in the menu bar. The app however is not labeled "Not responding" by activity monitor.
So far I've tried -
Looking at the logs both in the app folder and in ~/.devcenter. Nothing fishy there
Running the app from a different user account - same issue there
Deleting all datastax and devcenter related files (searched by name) on my machine and fresh start - still the same issue
any ideas what I could do here?
I was running DevCenter on a previous mac with the same config / os version but a slightly older JDK, never had issues then.
On OSX, you can specify which version of Java DevCenter uses so that you do not need to downgrade your global Java version.
Right-click on Devcenter.app
Click "show package contents"
Open Contents/info.plist
At the bottom of the file, there's an Eclipse key with lines commented out explaining how to specify the version of Java. Uncomment the line and specify the version of Java that you want DevCenter to use.
Save & Re-launch DevCenter
The updated info.plist file should look something like this:
<key>Eclipse</key>
<array>
<string>-vm</string><string>/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java</string>
</array>
I reached out to someone at Datastax and learnt that complaints have surfaced about this behavior when using DevCenter with jdk 8u152.
For now, I've downgraded to jdk 8u151 and that fixes the issue.
Without downgrade the Java version
Scenario
I couldn't create any connection and press buttons and everything was frozen; Changing the swt plugin in the DevCenter plugin folder worked. This was my configuration:
DevCenter version DevCenter-1.6.0-macosx-x86_64
Mac OSX version 10.14.6
JDK Version jdk1.8.0_231.jdk
Steps to fix it
From here download the version 3.108.0. (This version works for me)
Rename the file downloaded as swt.jar (short name)
[Optionally] create a backup of the current swt plugin jar of the DevCenter
cp DevCenter/DevCenter.app/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_3.103.2.v20150203-1351.jar ~/Desktop
Replace the plugin with the swt.jar downloaded
mv swt.jar DevCenter/DevCenter.app/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_3.103.2.v20150203-1351.jar
Startup DevCenter
Finally it worked

Netbeans 7.1.2 and 6.7.1, SoapUI both stopped working on OS X Mavericks

Installed the OS X Mavericks last night and Netbeans and SoapUI both doesnt work anymore. Has anyone found a solution for this?
Updating Java JRE fixed Netbeans, other products that are still having issues:
1) SoapUI
2) Apache Directory Studio
3) PyCharm
I had the same problem. Try to install the newest Java JRE. It worked for me
Downloading NetBeans 7.4 worked for me
Updating Java JRE and downloading NetBeans 7.4 didn’t work for me.
Installation issue : Neatbean 7.4 was unable to install and previous version (7.2 on my computer) was unable to launch.
When i tried to launch Photoshop 5.1, i had a message saying Java SE 6 was missing. Mavericks asked to download it. After installing automatically, Photoshop and Netbeans install was ok.
Also, you can try this link if you can't download automatically :

Selenium not working in firefox 23.0.1 (Mac and Windows)

I have a client who had a script working and now stopped working. I run it in my computer and it works (i runned it on Linux and Windows). My client runned it on Mac and Windows.
I am new to Selenium, but the part of the code that crashes is where Selenium takes place, it gets the Firefox to open but not load the page. I think it migth be a problem with the webDriver of Selenium that must be updated.
I told him to install pip in his Mac and uninstall Selenium and reinstall it, is this how it is done in OS machines? Is there any issue related to my problem?
Thanks
It would be helpful if you had specify Selenium version and also which browser are you using and it's version too. But the behavior you described seems to be caused by having newer version of browser which the Selenium version you using doesn't support. So upgrading to newest version of Selenium (2.35) will likely make this problem disappear.

Unable to install JDK7u21x64 on Windows 8 x64

I have just upgraded to Windows 8 Pro, mostly because my Windows 7 license has reached maximum activations and I have a free copy of 8, and partially so I can ensure my software is 8-compatible.
I seem to be incapable of installing the JDK. I just downloaded it from the Oracle website (jdk-7u21-windows-x64.exe).
Windows reports itself as: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor.
When I try and run it, either normally or as administrator is shows up with the message:
This app can't run on your PC
To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher
Does anyone have any ideas on this, a quick Google indicates it should just install same as usual.
While 8 still insistently refuses to install the JDK even after re-downloading and checking the hash, the Netbeans + JDK bundle does install which includes the JDK so that solves this issue sufficiently for now.
Update: The 64-bit version now works fine.
Try the x86 version: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html , I don't think there is a proper build for Windows 8 Pro.
