Btw, i experienced that too, on and off... even on the previous version... 2.0

 

So i just switched to another browser like IE or others, rather then restarting my system n closing all my other files..

This is a problem between adobe flash 9 and firefox.

 

Downgrade your flash 9 to flash 8 and the problem will be solved. No need to downgrade to firefox 2 as the problem will still be there.

 

To properly remove flash nine you need to download an utility from adobe to uninstall flash 9. Last few days I have not been able to load the page at adobe website to download the flash 8.

 

But I manage to find the software from some other websites.

I upload the version that I just tried, Flash 9r47. I have included the uninstaller.

 

Run the Uninstaller first, then install the version included.

 

There are a few installation files in the zip file, choose the one for your platform to install.

No prob, I am not sure if this solution will work after a few hundred flash loads. So you got to monitor the situation.

 

If there is a website that requires the latest flash version this solution might cause a little hassle.

 

If anyone have other solutions pls share. :cheer:

Guys, before switching browsers, have you tried to clear the Internet Cache on IE and Firefox to see whether the problem goes away?

This is a problem between adobe flash 9 and firefox.

 

Apparently, this also happened to IE on one of my computers, as I've observed as well. Youtube kept on saying I don't have Adobe Flash installed.

 

I went over to the Adobe website to download the Flash uninstaller, ran the uninstaller, restarted my computer, and installed Flash 9. Worked fine after that.

 

P.S.: I did all of these with my anti-spyware and firewall switched off for a moment.

Nope the clearing of cache did not work.

 

I did a search on the net and found that this is a well known problem. Many users are experiencing this problem. And most of them solve the problem when they did a version downgrade.

 

There are many release of flash 9, I have problems with release 48, release 47 is working fine though.
