Latest version of Flash and Firefox not getting along

[fustercluck]

Installed an Adobe flash update yesterday, and it's not working in firefox (13.0.1). Anyone else having this issue? Can I roll back to the previous version of flash? Thanks.

I hate it when updating screws thing up :X I do like to keep flash/java up to date though for security reasons. Usually I don't update things unless I have to.

Hrm thanks, I dunno if there's a solution in there, though.

Everything Adobe just sucks and always has.

Flash 11.3.300.262 and Firefox 13.0.1 work fine together for me, but all I've ever turned Flash on for is some YouTube videos so far (ones that don't switch to HTML5 automatically)...

the latest flash update works fine on my XP laptop but it severely fuct things up on my Vista desktop for both Opera and Firefox. Some Youtube & other web videos would have no sound. Google Play (music) didn't work either. Reverting to the previous version did wonders for me. I'm keeping it for as long as possible.

I think it's just a problem with Win7 64 bit and firefox....and flash of course. They are all culprits.

Been opening chrome when I need flash to work for something.

Has anyone been able to roll back? Is adobe aware of the issue?

Well shucks I missed that. Many thanks! Though I may just use Chrome until another version of flash comes out that is compatible.

it's strange, but it seems to be working ok for me but the weird thing is that it automatically updated for Firefox but not the IE version!

I uninstalled 11.3 and went to 10.3 but still no worky. Doesn't seem like they're too worried about getting another patch out anytime soon. Stuck with broken flash for a while now :<

About had it with Flash. Their support is basically "not our issue, sorry" every time they put out a new release that breaks something. They just blame Firefox.

Yeah I've always hated everything Adobe. I guess photoshop is the only thing they do that is generally liked.
