Bug Description

this morning I saw a upgrade of FF , now installed FF56.
But after upgrade, the flash player stopped working.
I have restarted FF
I have restarted the computer
I have reinstalled the flashplayer.

<> nothing helps flashplayer is not working
this is on my old coputer 32 bit

on my notebook 64 bit it looks like the flashplayer is still working

how can I get the flashplayer working again?? I do need it.
else I have to start looking to other browser with working flash.

Hi ALL

my problem is over. The Flash player started working. Most likely as this morning I saw an upgrade for FF browser being downloaded and installed. After that my game with flash was working proper again.

thanks for the attention and assistance given.
