Any more suggestions for spotty Flash in Firefox?
Have tried all the combinations, but there are some videos that are black screen and will not load, while others are fine. It is frustrating, to say the least. Is there anything new on the front besides updating or downgrading the various programs, such as Flash and RealPlayer? Using Firefox 16.02 and Windows 7, 64 bit.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Did you already tries these as a test?
- disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
Tried all this, and a lot more, The only way it works is to uninstall flash completely, but then some sites ask if I want to install the plugin. Strange!
