Firefox would not open videos saying plugins were out of date. I have updated them but now no videos play in firefox on CNN's site.

It seems that you have two different Flash plugins. Shockwave Flash 18.0 r0 Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0

First, grab the Adobe uninstaller from here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

Then download the latest Flash Plugin version from here: Select the Windows > Plugin-based browsers - the EXE version. https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

Run the Flash uninstaller program, then reboot your PC. Then install the Plugin version of Flash. So you'll have a clean installation of Flash for Firefox.
