firefox and flash - Macromedia Flash Player

[bob friendly]

I saw a few posts in this forum related to this, but the threads were so old I
thought I'd post a new topic in hopes that it helps similarly disaffected
people like myself.

About a year ago, my firefox browser only displayed white boxes for flash
content. Uninstall, reinstall, reinstall, uninstall, upgrade, etc. etc.Nothing
helped. IE worked fine with flash.

Tonight I finally realized that the fix is to disable Adblock (the firefox
extension). I promptly ditched adblock and installed its new replacement,
"Adblock plus." Flash works great now.

I downloaded and installed Adobe FlashPlayer recently from Internet Explorer
(IE), when I attempting to review an ecard at the Blue Mountain website. This
operation worked and I was subsequently able to view the cards. Today, I was
using Firefox, as my browser, and when I attempted to view an ecard at Blue
Mountain, I, once again was directed to download Adboe FlashPlayer. I repeated
the process I performed with IE, but, unfortunately, I still can not view the
cards while using Firefox. Any suggestions? Thanks.

IE uses the Flash Player ActiveX control (and is the only browser to do so).

Firefox, and all other browsers, use the Flash Player plugin. Which is why
you had to do a separate install.

When you use FireFox to view the Flash Player test page, what do you see?

Hi. I've had this problem with flash programs for a long time.

I believe my firefox only has 5.0 installed, and each time I try to install
9.0, It only installs into the Opera directory so the Firefox doesn't update.
Is there some way I can fix this easily?
