Flash not working in Chrome, Firefox and Waterfox

Yet it will work in IE9 for me on a Windows 7 x64 set of systems.  Why not the others.

I only use IE9 for industry specific websites and Chrome or Firefox for all others, but now have to use IE9 for all content.

Is this a Microsoft-Adobe conspiracy?

Thank you for your suggestions Hitomi, but I have tried all the obvious suggestions (removing and reinstalling Flash from each browser multiple times).

Frankly I don't believe Oswald was the only shooter in the Kennedy Assassination, so I must simple be open to conspiracy theories, but when Adobe Flash suddenly stops working in my 2 favorite browsers all in the same week, yet works swimmingly well in my least favorite browser I suppose I get suspicious.

For now IE9 is back to being my default browser as much as I am disappointed in that fact.  But at least websites utilizing flash technology work in that browser.

I did uninstall Firefox and update Waterfox and reinstalled Adobe Flash.

It appears to be working.

Thank you.  I will now work on Chrome.

Whoops, I was wrong.  It popped up as working in IE9 which I mistook for Firefox.  Still not working in Chrome/Firefox/Waterfox.

Apparently Adobe Flash is no longer compatible with browsers other than Microsoft so if I want to use it I must always use IE9.
