You should by now be using Firefox 11. (You may well have updated since you posted this question).

Possibly you have tried to download and install the FlashPlayer version intended for Internet Explorer, instead of the plugin for Firefox. (See related thread /questions/859758#answer-228076 When trying to update Adobe Flash Player, message says no ActionList found. )


Others may also note there is or was problem with some Flash Upgrades not being detected , but should start a new thread of your own if you have problems. See article Yahoo! and at&t mail say your browser is blocking Flash
