For some reason I'm finding that Flash Player is not working on Firefox (Meaning that on Chrome and IE it works) Flash Player 16.0 is listed in my plugins, and it's set to always activate yet for some reason it's not activating? Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling Flash several times to no success =/ Any help is appreciated! Thanks

If you trust the website, you can allow Flashplayer to run by clicking on the "Activate Flashplayer" message. If there is no visible area to activate Flashplayer content in the page, look for the plugin icon in the address bar, then click it and, in the message panel that opens, choose "Allow Now".

IE Tab 4.0.20130422 ({77b819fa-95ad-4f2c-ac7c-486b356188a9}) IE Tab 2 (FF 3.6+) 5.12.12.1 ({1BC9BA34-1EED-42ca-A505-6D2F1A935BBB})

Are these the same program? Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.

Any pages that're using flash simply don't appear, or appear with a black screen, thus not allowing the "activate flash message". And, there is no plugin icon on flash web pages =/
