Have Win7 Enterprise N, Mirefox 15.0.1 with Flash 10.3 OR latest 11 will NOT Load numerous Flash Pages and embedded Videos. This is FRUSTRATING!STOP THIS!!!!
After auto update of Firefox in Sept, some of the sites with embedded videos (MSN,Yahoo etc) and numerous sites with Flash images will not load. I tried to resolve it by uninstalling the Flash and go back to 10.x with same issue. Then I downgraded FF to 10.3 and that worked. BUT it Forces me to upgrade and Crashes. I have tried all options on the support and on other sites. NONE work. This is absolutely frustrating. If this can't be resolved, I will be forced to go to IE, which I have not been a fan of since 2006.... and prefer not to change. WHO _ WHAT do I need to do to get these sites to display Flash video and images, with my setup: Win 7 Ent, 64 bit, with Firefox Version 15.0.1 and Flash 10.3 and then tried 11. Thanks!

I am running Win 7 Ent, 64 bit with Flash 10.3 and NONE of the MSN/Yahoo and numerous sites with Flahs video and images will load. I have tried ALL the options posted on these sites, none work.
The Finger pointing of FLASH and Mozilla is frustrating and not helping! I have not choice to move to IE, reluctantly, if this issues continues. The only Config that works, is FF 11 and Flash 10.3 BUT FF keeps crashing and forcing me to upgrade. This is unacceptable. Please provide a WORKING solution.

Hi Juurraa,
Sorry you are having problems. Everyone finds this frustrating.
I know you have tried several things but here are some ideas you may wish to consider again, but try them carefully and in this order.
- Use the latest version of Firefox, it is as likely as any other recent version to work with Flash, and will be more likely to be secure.
(fX 15 is about to upgrade to fx 16 anytime now) - sometimes an Adobe uninstaller may be needed (lets ignore that for now)
- try FlashPlayer 11.4 or whatever the latest version
(available from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ )- but if you anticipate problems make sure you use with protected mode disabled
For instructions see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Flash_Player_11.3_Protected_Mode_-_Windows - only use Flash10.3 if you are unable to use Flash 11.4
- if you use Flash 10.3 , do not try to use the Firefox pluginchecker with Flash enabled or it will tell you to update !
( The Flash Updater itself does not seem to have been introduced until Flash 11.2
see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/background-updater-windows.html )
- if you use Flash 10.3 , do not try to use the Firefox pluginchecker with Flash enabled or it will tell you to update !
- but if you anticipate problems make sure you use with protected mode disabled
If you follow the above advice I would hope
- FlashPlayer will work without crashing
- if it does crash then provide CrashIDs (I will explain that if necessary).
- Flash Player will not upgrade itself from Flash 10.3 if that is what you choose
