Flash no longer functions on Firefox for my macs. I re-loaded flash by doing it from Safari. Used Safari to ask this quest since firefox uses flash for tho
I have tried everything. uninstall reinstall. I couldn't test for flash because the function wouldn't work. I uninstalled Firefox twice and uninstalled flash twice. I cleared history, etc. I called my tech support for my multiple listing service, since I can't even log on without flash. He checked everything, and told me he couldn't figure out why it is not working. the plugin for shockwave flash is there. I know flash is on my machine because when I tried to install it after installing it this morning, it said it was already installed with the latest version. Later on I uninstalled and reinstalled twice. Flash works on Safari and Chrome. Only Firefox has this problem. I am very frustrated. I had to use Safari to even use your "ask a question" since Firefox uses flash to ask a question!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!

AFAIK, SUMO doesn't use Flash for anything.
Can I have your troubleshooting information?

Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
- Windows/Mac: Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
- Linux: Run firefox -safe-mode in the Terminal/Konsole
If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.
Make sure Flash is up to date. Adobe released a patch to the latest version of Flash that made Flash crash in older model Macs so be sure to download it below if you haven't:
Try to see if Flash is actually enabled by checking to see if the website below displays your Flash Player version, OS, and browser. If it doesn't it shows a blank box. What do you see?
