    See the "quick fixes" at the bottom.
    Maybe uninstall Flash and then reinstall

    Make sure you have the non-IE version of flash.

    Midknyte--I have always assumed that if I accessed Adobe using Firefox, I would get the Firefox version.
    Just the other day I was using Firefox and was told I needed Flash. I knew I had the latest version when I had downloaded it from IE. But I humored FF and installed Flash from the site FF offered. End of messages and the site worked fine in FF.
