You have 2 versions of "Shockwave Flash" (Adobe Flash Player) installed; one very old version (7.0 r19) and the current version (10.0 r45). You can see both "Shockwave Flash" plugins by going to Tools > Add-ons > Plugins. You can disable the old version 7 there. To disable the old version: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+plugins+with+Firefox#Managing_plugins
Remove the old plugin 1. If the old version 7 is showing as "Adobe Flash Player 7 Plugin" in your Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, you can remove it from there; click on it, click Remove. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Uninstall-or-change-a-program
2. If the old version 7 is not shown in Add or Remove programs, see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins#Manually_uninstalling_a_plugin . Some of the old plugins are in the Plugins folder of your programs Firefox install folder and can be renamed or removed from there manually.
i have windows xp and i'm having the same problem. i've tried to uninstall all the flash players/plugins and to reinstall them but nothing help to solve this problem so far. i'm exhausted and i really like firefox browser so plz help me with it.
thanks, orel
Since the automatic update for the Adobe Flash plugin no flash will work with Firefox. I used the Adobe uninstaller and re installed their download but though it works fine with Opera Firefox doesn't even show shockwave in the list of add ons. Is there a way to force its recognition?
