can't play videos anymore even though i have adobe flash worked before better than chrome or explorer
hi
I love firefox esp videos. Much better than internet explorer and chrome. Very stable, smooth. Was playing fine then crashed. I thought it could be a few programs i uninstalled like shockwave which was playing hell with my computer. I uninstalled and reinstalled mozilla firefox and adobe flash player but still couldn't play videos in you tube, or revolution golf, etc. I took a screenshot but i don't see an attachment here to send it you. It says i need to update adobe flash player, or the adobe flash player is required for video playbacks, which i already did several times but it still doesn't show up in my firefox plugins. Please advise.

Did you download the Flash installer via this page?
Do you see the Flash plugin in its installation folder?
You should find the Flash plugin file (NPSWF32_11_X_XXX_XXX.dll) in this folder after you have run the Flash installer:
- 32 bit Windows: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
- 64 bit Windows: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\

Hi, Have you tried turning off hardware acceleration in the flash player settings, or updating the graphics driver?
You can't attach a screenshot to the first post that starts a thread, but you can do that in subsequent replies.
Your system details list doesn't show that the Shockwave Flash plugin is installed and enabled.
Do you see the Flash plugin in Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins?
IE uses the ActiveX version of the Flash player and Google Chrome comes with its won Flash plugin.
Make sure to install the Flash plugin for Firefox.
Latest Flash player versions here:
You can verify on the Adobe Flash Players Test Page that the Flash plugin is working and which version you have.
thanks
i can't turn off hardware accelerator. It doesn't recognize me even though i've einstalled, uninstalled and reinstalled flash playrer several times and it is now in my add remove programs. . I get the error message: "Sorry, Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled. Please go to step 2 "
I can play videos in internet explorer and chrome but they are not the same quality as firefox is why i've used firefox exclusively esp for videos as i play a lot of them. Why suddenly they've stopped playing in firefox is the question. The answer (i assume) lies in why firefox is not recognizing adobe flash player 11 or shockwave even though they're both in my computer. And i don't know how to update my graphics driver
