I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. I recently upgraded to Firefox v24, and now Adobe Flash files won't play (screen/window is just blank - no error message). I first realized it when trying to play a Flash file on YouTube. I have the latest version of Adobe Flash (11.8.800.168) installed. I reinstalled Adobe Flash, and after the install, the little graphic that usually appears, never did; the little screen just remained blank. I went back to Firefox v23, and now the Flash files on YouTube play fine.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox 24 in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Add-On "YouTube Center" v1.34.0 was the culprit. Once disabled, Adobe Flash files played once again. Thanks for you help!

Flash not working, even in Safe Mode. Seems to be since recent upgrade to v24. Cleared cache, uninstalled/reinstalled, even tried earlier versions of FF (22 & 23) and Flash.

What did this update do???

One more key thing... Flash works fine in IE 10 and Chrome 13 on same Win 7 Ult computer. I don't see "Adobe Flash" or the like in the plug-ins area, even after repeated installs.
