    Firefox and flash do not play well. They have a long history of troubled installs. When ever I have to fix this issue, I backup the extensions and etc. with Febe, clean install of firefox and then flash, then restore using febe. This usually works. Also, make sure you aren't blocking flash/certain scripts.

    No troubles at all here. Although I do run the NoScript and FlashBlock add-ons, so I need to first allow the site in NoScript, then allow the flash in FlashBlock.

    Why would you want to unilaterally allow flash to run anyway?

    Things like this are why I use both FireFox and IE.
