Try checking your plugins. If any of them aren't up to date, update them. Then see what happens.

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extension) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.

Check and make sure Shockwave for Director is listed in your plugins page. If it is, go uninstall and reinstall it.

Do not confuse Shockwave for Director and Shockwave Flash.

Both are different programs (plugins), so there is most likely no need to look at Shockwave for Director.

Does Flash work properly on the Abode welcome (test) page?
