People having problems with Firefox after installing Flash 8.

you might need to use the uninstaller and go back to 7

what version of flash are those sites in question published to ? I just tried my own site (published as Flash 5) with Firefox using FP8 and it's fine.

Did Macromedia even test it on Firefox before releasing it? :roll:

Flash < *

uninstalled...reinstalled...tried all sites...flash 5, 6, 7, 8...nothing...oh well...so long firefox

^ working absolutely fine for me in FF... What exactly is the problem you're experiencing ?

I tested 2advanced.com and a few of their project sites...

I didnt mind flash till they figured out how to disable the right-click>play options.

Now theres no easy way to disable flashing monkeys with out using flashout.

Hmm, just tried to install Flash v8 on a fresh windows install and nothing in Firefox v1.0.7. Had to find Flash v7 at some Comcast site.

Guess they still haven't fixed this weeks later?

 

[jadinolf]

True.

Installed in Mozilla--no problem.

In case your flash is screwed up, like mine was in FF after upgrading:

Friday night I downloaded the latest version of Flash Player (8) and Shockwave, as prompted to do so by a popup message from Firefox. Since then, flash stopped working completely. Of note, all things flash work in Maxthon and IE.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing flashplayer and shockwave, I deleted cookies and cache multiple times. I was about ready to do a complete reinstall of firefox..which I really did NOT want to do.

I finally found an answer and thought I'd share it to hopefully save some of you time and trouble it took me to figure it out.

Per MozillaPluginDoc: "If you have the Adblock extension installed, you must disable OBJ-TABS, otherwise Flash Player 8.0 will not work.

I clicked onTools/Extensions, then right-clicked on Adblock and opened Options. At the far right corner of the window, there is AdblockOptions. Click on that, then unselect OBJ-TABS.

Now everything is working properly again.

I have the New Flash 8 and I love it. Sooooooo much better to design with
