Troubleshooting Flash on Firefox

{mosimage}"I was having trouble with internet explorer so I started using mozilla firefox. It seems good except that it won't allow adobe flash player to load. I am unable to view anything that requires this plugin. If I revert to internet explorer on the same computer flash player works ok. Do you have any explanation?"

{mosimage}Firefox is an excellent browser, but like any software, things do occasionally go askew.  The problem may be recitifed by simply downloading the latest version of Flash player and installing it.

If that doesn't work, there is a good article on using and troubleshooting Flash with Firefox in the Firefox support knowledgebase.

This details what to do if Flash is misbehaving.
