Flash Not Working in Firefox?

If you are running Flash v 9.0.115.0 with Firefox 2.0.0.1.2 on Windows XP there is a chance that Flash is not working properly. You will know this because Flash videos (youtube, etc) will play for about two seconds, with no sound, and then just stop. Flash will function normally in Internet Explorer though.
This is a problem with Flash. The word is that it should be updated with the next version.
If you want the full explanation, read this thread. I just did, and I don’t recommend doing so.
If you want the fast and dirty way to fix it, here goes:
2) install flash 9.0.47.0. Here is the page if you want it…
2a) you’ll have to reinstall Flash again for IE (but now that Firefox works properly again, you won’t really need IE will you?)
That’s it. Flash should work, but you will have an old version. When the next version comes out you might want to muster up the courage to upgrade, but bookmark this page just in case.
Ahm, in my case, I do not know what you mean about experiencing errors in firefox..
Still a lot of thanks because it better to have a solution before a problem occur to me..
Thanks alot! It helped. The best solution that’s out there - precise and effective!
Great Mike, glad to see this is helping out. It really got on my nerves for awhile before I decided to fix it.
Now I’m afraid to upgrade though- still running 9.0.47.0. Firefox is going to make the move to 2.0.0.13 next time I restart it…
