Installing flash 11 player for IE makes videos no longer play on firefox

The latest version of flash doesn't play videos on Firefox. So, I uninstalled flash and installed an older version. This solved my problem. However, when I instal the latest version of flash on IE, videos stop playing again.

I tried all sort of things like disabling different extension/plugin etc.

I think that if I could download an older version of flash both in Firefox and IE it will solve my problem. But I am not sure how to download an older flash for IE.

btw, right now I have the latest version of flash and this version never works for me. The videos don't play.

Did you try to disable protected mode in the Flash plugin?

See "How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?"

The problem got solved by itself for some reason. I am not sure what happened. Thanks for your reply. I will be sure to try it out if the problem occurs again.
