Just upgraded to Firefox 40, it doesn't allow me to view any Flash Shockwave based sites or plugins, anywhere on the net.

I've installed Shockwave player. All other browser work fine.

41 seems to be working fine. 39 works fine as well.

Do not confuse the Shockwave for Director plugin and the Shockwave Flash plugin, both are different plugins.

Your System Details shows no installed player. Flash Player Version 18.0.0.232

Note: Windows users must download the “Internet Explorer” and “Plugin-based browsers” installers.

See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
