Flash plugin prevents Foxfire or Thunderbird from loading

Feedback and a question. I'd had an issue with Adobe Flash plug-in upgrade last week and had to abort. No problem until yesterday (a Monday), when both Firefox and Thunderbird would simply appear to not startup. Short version is that de/re-install of both, with a registry purge in between, pointed to a missing or defective Adobe Flash plug-in. Flash install was fine ... until this morning; same symptoms. De-installing Flash allowed both to work. Re-installing Flash seemed fine, tho reboot restored the problem. FYI, both Mozilla apps have a startup page that loads Flash.

Q: 11.4 Flash simply doesn't work on my Vista 32-bit PC. Is fine on 64-bit Vista, Win7 and XP. I'd rather go without Flash than mess with this any more. Any suggestions?

Hi turnerth,

Quick answers need quick solutions ? (just joking)

Download and Install Flash 10.3 but first uninstall your current version with adobe uninstaller program .


thank you
