Okay.

Hopefully installing the next flash player update released will fix the problem.

If it doesn't I guess I'll just have to deal with it.

Thanks for the help anyway though.

There are documented problems with later versions of firefox fighting with flash. I found a fix which immediately cured my similar problems.

Go to Windows/sys32/macromedia/flash and modify the mms.cfg file by adding the line "ProtectedMode=0" without quotes

Cheers

    I might have fixed the problem.

    Maybe.

    I was having problems with YouTube videos too with the videos ending early prior to how long the video says it is.

    I read the YouTube help Google thing and found the problem and it said "Enable JavaScript"

    Now... I had JavaScript disabled for a LONG time due to the security issues they've been having.

    I re-enabled my Java FireFox plugin and it seems to have fixed the problem.

    I haven't truly tested it but maybe this has worked.

    If not I guess I wait for another flash update and hope the update fixes the problem.

      It's a FireFox plugin called Java(TM) Platform SE 7 U21 10.21.2.11

        *sighs*

        It's still doing it. So...

        There are documented problems with later versions of firefox fighting with flash. I found a fix which immediately cured my similar problems.

        Go to Windows/sys32/macromedia/flash and modify the mms.cfg file by adding the line "ProtectedMode=0" without quotes

        Is this true? If so... how do I do this?

        If someone could help me out with this, I'd really appreciate it.

        Thanks.
