if shockwave flash listed & shown as active in firefox > addons > plugins?

Ensure that windows 7 is totally updated (including Service Pack 1), and if that does not help, try disabling Flash protected mode. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0

Shockwave Flash is "Enabled". Adding a mms.cfg file with ProtectedMode = 0 did not fix the problem either.

protectedmode=0 solves frozen when you update the latest firefox and flasg player not the showing video.

All of my plugins are also up-to-date. Using Firefox plugin checker.

Try to uninstall and reinstall Flash

I had tried that previously and went through the steps again, but still not working. Use Chrome maybe? LOL

With Chrome everything works....stream online, youtube and watching videos online....

Guess I have no choice but to use Chrome or IE. There was an update to Adobe available this morning when I started my pc. Applied it without thinking to much about it (no coffee yet) and it all went to Hades in a hand basket after that. Thanks everyone and I will keep my eye on my e-mail for a resolution.

editing the cfg file to protected mode=0 did not help me.

Starting FF in safe mode (Help>Restart with add-ons disabled) seemed to solve, but this can't be permanent fix...also running flash with protected mode off (cfg file edit as indicated elaswhere)

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

• Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
• Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Try to disable hardware acceleration.

• Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

Tried both of these and investigated the graphics driver issue and trouble shooting. Flash still does not work. I will try uninstalling Firefox and re-installing and see if that does the trick.

rsbcooks2, I hope it works, although it didn't for me.

Did not fix mine either. Well Chrome is a pretty good browser. Just takes getting used to after using Firefox for a LONG time.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

• https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

See:

• http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

In your Tools > Add-ons (or Firefox > Add-ons) do you have RealPlayer Browser Record or do you use any other similar tools that download videos from the web?

If so, can you disable them and restart Firefox to see if that helps. If not, try disabling Protected Mode in Flash with the following steps: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071?tstart=0

We are working with Adobe right now to find out what exactly is happening.

I have Real Player Download and I disabled it, restarted Firefox. No difference. I have already tried the disable ProtectedMode earlier as well.

p.s. I am certainly glad to see I'm not the only user suffering from this problem. LOL

Hi guys - for me this helped. Close Firefox - open Internet Explorer - got to the Adobe Flash Player Site:

http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/

In IE you can see there is the 64-bit version - (in Firefox there was just the 32-bit version) - got to: (others)

http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/otherversions/

choose your system and version download it via internet explorer and install the adobe flash player restart firefox and it should work. helped me after wasting one day of my life to find a solution, alle sites work just fine now. hope this helps.
