Grim Squeaker Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 A little while ago Firefox told me an update for Macromedia Flash was available so I installed it. However, since then any flash objects in browsers haven't been displaying i.e. I'm just getting a big white box. I've tried uninstalling flash (including using the uninstall exes off of the flash website). However, when I try and download the install program and run it, the install just stops. It asks me to choose language, then unpacks some files, then the window closes and nothing further happens. Any suggestions? Edit: Apparently it is still installed on IE despite my attempts to uninstall and start again... Edit #2: Damnit, now I have audio but still no image. Just a white musical box... Link to comment
CamDawg Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 To be honest, you're probably experiencing a far better web experience without it. On the actual help side of the equation, do you have any extensions (Adblock, Flashblock, Noscript, etc.) that might be interfering with it? And what version of FF are you on? Link to comment
Rastor Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I have never been able to get Firefox's extension manager to work properly. The Flash install program will install it to both IE and Firefox, though. Honestly, if it works fine in IE then just use that browser to view flash sites. Link to comment

And I'm on 1.5 of FF. Link to comment
