I updated my Flash and suddenly streaming videos for most sites stopped working. I tried NFL.com, which worked this morning, but did not work tonight after I updated. How do I get videos to work again?

Hi,

You can try to Clear Now the Cache, and Cookies with Time range to clear set to Everything via Tools (Alt + T) > Clear Recent History.

If you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) installed, you can try deleting all existing instances of Firefox and its related processes/files including plugin-container.exe and FlashPlayerPlugin_11_5_502_110.exe in all the different configuration modules/areas of the security software like process monitoring, sub/spawned process control, virtualization, HIPS etc., in addition to the security software's main configuration panel. Instead create new fully allowed/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes in all the different modules/panels - a genuine/original Firefox installer as well as all the installed EXEs (Application) and DLLs (Application extension) are digitally signed by Mozilla Corporation (right-click > Properties > Digital Signatures). Even otherwise, some security software may also ask again when Firefox and/or its sub processes are started, and you may be able to allow/trust at that time. Please see this.
