Does anyone know what is wrong with flash games?

Whenever I try to load a flash game on any website, it comes up fine. However, when I simply click on a button, it freezes both Firefox and the flash script. I just downloaded FF v3.6.10 and updated Adobe Flash player. It was fine before the 3.6.10 update.

Everything else seems to be fine though...

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

Safe mode did not help. In fact, it made Firefox freeze for longer than in normal mode.. I am also using the default theme..

When I run the Firefox safe mode, it does not come up with the safe mode dialog box like it says in the FAQ.

Edit: Actually, Java was the problem. To fix, go to start> All Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Restore, and pick the date that you installed Java. That might help anyone who has this problem.
