Yesterday morning flash was working to play flash games and listen to songs on pandora. After coming home opening any flash game leads to a blank area where the game should load and pandora first would not load music and now says to "Please ensure you are using the latest Flash Player". I have tried updating flash player, then reinstalling flash, then refreshing firefox, and then when none of that worked I completely reinstalled firefox and the problem is still not fixed.
