Your Flash player installation is too old to run flash videos in Firefox 4.0.x

Update via http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Also, remove the "My Web Search" plugin you have installed. This is adware and trawls the web searching for ads to feed you whenever you go online.

Disable it by clicking the Firefox button, go to Add-ons then Plugins. Click the Disable button, then go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall it.

Your Adobe Reader may also need updating. Please visit the Plugins Check page and update where necessary.
