Flash player plugin in Firefox is not working

[Robert Nickless]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The Flash player has stopped working with Firefox 3.0. Websites state that flash needs updating but when try I am told that a later version is already installed. I have tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling. I have tried uninstalling and installing the version the websites want. I have tried Firefox 3.5. Nothing makes any difference. My installation is pretty much out of the box with nothing unusual installed.

Ubuntu 8.04

Please trya new profile also please try removing swfdec-mozilla and see if it helps

[Robert Nickless (rnickless)]

Thanks for your advice. I removed swfdec-mozilla. I was unsure exactly where the firefox profile is held so I completely uninstalled and removed everything I could find related to firefox and flash. I then rebooted and reinstalled them. It appears that I did not remove the profile but whatever I did seems to have cured the problem.

Thank you,
Robert Nickless.

Caused by a corrupt profile or an extension. closing due to that reason

More than likely swfdec-mozilla was the cause of your problems but no way of telling at this time.

Do recommend a fix? I'm new to Ubuntu, I'm pretty good diagnosing Windows,
but not that sharp on Ubuntu!
