Flash won't work in steam anymore

I've asked this a few places and haven't gotten much help yet.

My flash no longer works in the steam store/browser I don't know how to fix it or how I broke it. Images don't load on the store page and I can't view any videos anymore. I've reinstalled flash (all browser versions offered on the site) and it works fine outside of steam. If I pull up the adobe page inside a steam browser it says:"Note: Adobe Flash Player is already installed, but disabled. Click here for more information."

That link seems to be for enabling in a chrome browswer and the instructions don't work inside the steam browser. If I follow the instructions in a chrome browser it's already enabled.

Running Windows 7
 
I have read that for steam, you need the Firefox version of Flash. Since I run Firefox anyway, I can't confirm if that is the case or not.

If you still are having issue, go to Control Panel, Flash player. Tell us what those settings are like.
 
I've literally installed all of the 3 versions offered. Flash player settings manager says I have 23.0.0.207 for all 3, axtive X NPAPI Plug-in and PPAPI Plug-in. Is there something in steam maybe?

Could this site help me at all?

I really don't know it's super frustrating since it was all of the sudden.

[e] The plot thickens. If I use the steam browser by forcing it open while I'm inside a game, the steam store works just fine. So the steam browser flash is fine, it's JUST the steam client store page that's broken.

[e2] Freaking finally fixed it:

Just had to delete web browser cache, no idea why that was it, but everything works now yay!
