Is it correct that "Shockwave" (an Adobe plugin) is necessary for viewing YouTube etc.? If so why can we never find Previous versions for Firefox, when a BIG problem is found, as with new Adobe Flash Player 10.2 FF Plugin??

Flash Video NOT working of Facebook YouTube etc... Adobe Flash Player 10.2 (Latest) is the problem.. installing and uninstalling Doesn't resolve the problem. A Rollback to Earlier Version DOES work...

Adobe Flash player, previously known as Shockwave Flash is required for YouTube videos. You can get earlier versions from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
