Flash Player Firefox (latest both)

Aug 3, 2012 12:11 PM

Tags: #flash #firefox #player #11 #32_bit

I am trying to install the latest flash player 11 on the latest firefox.  get.adobe.com/flashplayer takes me to the download page for the add-on or plug-in (whatever firefox brands it as) but when the installation is complete Internet Explorer comes up with the "success" page showing flash animation.  If I copy this address and paste it into Firefox I don't see any Flash animation.  Furthermore I cannot watch YouTube videos or any other videos in Firefox (maybe Vimeo?)

 

What can I do to remedy this situation?

    hmm, that seems to work for SOME Flash Player content but I still can't watch YouTube videos because it says "an error has occured please try again later" in the middle of the video screen.  Should I uninstall and reinstall Firefox?

    I've got a temporary fix which I found doing a websearch on the topic of Firefox not loading YouTube.  I ended up downgrading Flash Player from 11.3 to 10.3 and that seems to work.  I think the culprit might be because I have Real Player installed on my machine and the suggestion was to uninstall it or disable the Recorded/Downloader from Firefox, the latter of which I did to no effect.  I will not be able to uninstall Real Player because I depend on it for my audio library, or at least a part of my audio library.
