Hi,

this is really weird but flash movies on most sites (sites such as Ustream) wont play after i updated the flash player. The funny thing is that on youtube play fine. I already tried by disabling the shockwave addon, reinstalling it, etc. but nothing works. This problem is with firefox only because on Chrome and Explorer the flash player works just fine.

Thank you.

Thank you. Actually it was not necessary because i disabled flash protected mode and that did it. However, seems like its not the best option but in the mean tiem i guess i have no choice.

Thank you.

Hi, yes, lots of reports of problems with Flash 11.3 in the past 72 hours. This article addresses some of the common reasons and workarounds: Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox. Any luck?

Hi,

thank you but nothing of that worked. I cant even get to open firefox on safe mode. I opened from RUN by typing firefox.exe -p as the manual says but i dont see the "continue in safe mode" option. I dont have any recorder plugin either so i really dont know whats going on. Please help...

You need to use the -safe-mode switch to open Firefox in Safe mode or hold down the Shift key while starting.
