Persistent problems with Flash. Works for IE but not for FF. I have uninstalled and re-installed Flash as directed (twice). FRUSTRATED!!!
I have carefully followed all the instructions provided on the FF and ADOBE sites. Can't keep searching in FF and then switching to IE to play Youtube videos or other FLash content.

hallo david, could you specify what exactly isn't working regarding to flashor describing the issue in more detail. at the moment flash doesn't appear in your list of enabled plugins - please make sure that you've allowed flash to run in the addons manager > plugins section if you want to view flash-contents...
Delete the pluginreg.dat file in the profile profile, see the link below.
Are you aware that a different version of Flash is needed for Firefox?
IE uses the ActiveX version of Flash, while Firefox would use the Plugin version - if it was installed.
I don't see a Flash Plugin in your More System Details.
Maybe doing the reset of the plugins file - pluginreg.dat - file will help.
If not, check the control panel for the Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin version of Flash.
I have reinstalled both the Active X and plugin versions of Adobe Flash 11 and reset the pluginreg.dat file with no success. However when checking the plugins tab in my Add-ons Manager I noticed that my "Shockwave Flash" plugin was marked "Never Activate". Activating that seems to have fixed the problem. Is Shockwave Flash the plugin version of Adobe Flash 11??? If so it would help for Mozilla and Adobe documentation to say so. I have not seen anything from Mozilla/Adobe/Support Forum that referred to "Shockwave Flash"
