I had this problem last year and I was able to fix it by copying the contents of the system32/macromedia/flash folder over to the firefox/plugins folder. This solution isn't working this time. It seems to have resulted from installing the latest player.

I have tried absolutely every suggestion made for every similar inquiry posted. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both Flash and Firefox so many times I've lost count. The same is true for resetting Firefox. Firefox simply will not recognize the plugin. I have, of course, checked the Firefox utilities for identifying installed plugins.

I desperately need a fresh solution. Anybody else have this problem?

I'm finding it very confusing that for some reason I have all sorts of backup files for firefox backed up on my USB pen & desktop.

I have no idea if I need to keep all of them, or just one of them, as backup.

Which of the below do i need to keep, and which delete? Thanks.

bookmarks.html (on my USB pen)
bookmarks-2012-01-29.json (on my USB pen)
FILE FOLDER ENTITLED 00jhkBLAHBLAH.default (on my USB pen)
FILE FOLDER ENTITLED: Old Firefox Data (put onto my Desktop via Firefox Reset)

The Issue.... Coupons.com plugin disapeared after upgrading FF to v21 (from FF Help Menu>About) I then was prompted to install the plugin when i went to print a coupon from coupons.com... the installation shows it succeeds with no issues, however the plugin is still not showing in the plugin list, and of course coupons don't print (You are prompted by coupons.com to download the plugin...over and over again)

How it happened..... I almost never reboot the PC. Before today everything was working fine. I didn't reboot PC, but decided to upgrade FF to latest version (previous was 20.something)... because i was getting a really long (and context insensitive menu when right clicking anything).

The upgrade appeared to run flawlessly, but then the issue with coupons.com became apparent, and upon a quick look in about:plugins, i noticed the coupon.com (coupon printer) plugin is no longer there....

I closed all browsers, uninstalled the Coupons.com plugin (from Add/Remove programs), and verified that Internet Explorer can't print coupons anymore from coupons.com. Then i reinstalled the plugin (from coupons.com) and Internet Explorer was once again able to print coupons. This means the plugin is being installed on the PC, and while Internet Explorer works, Firefox doesn't (since this version 21)

jscher2000, it was my fault for the disappearance of Private Browsing. In changing the Privacy settings I inadvertantly checked the box that takes Private Browsing away. All is good now except the Copy/Paste issue.
