i've tried to install the flash player plugin over firefox 15, but it is impossible. It doesn't matter if I make a manual installation or directly click on aditional plugins. when I reboot firefox, I keep receiving the message that i need to install flash player I've also tried several things, such as reboot firefox without complements, check the NPSWF32_11.dll in Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash or editing the mms.cfg. installing and uninstalling flash player. worst thing of all is that flash is working fine in IE8 and chrome

HI,

i tried several times to install / uninstall the flash player (version 10 & 11)

By the way, I realized that i was not using the "administrator" account (just one with administrator privileges, so, a combination of uninstalling while in safe mode, login with admin account, re-initialize the plugin database, reinstallation, and installing in safe mode, did the work

thank you very much for your help

Hi ideato,

I did what you said (including a reboot in XP safe mode for deleting the file), but when i restarted again (in normal mode this time), everything was like it was (asking always to install the flash player plugin, even after installing and get a "correct installation" from adobe)

thx for your help
