Adobe Flash Not Playing

[Robert Cole]

Adobe Flash player loads without error, but won't play animations or youtube videos ever since flash update. Shows blank black square. Read on google about the same issues. Most individuals resorting to undoing update. Apparently flash is still working in Chrome since the update but not Firefox.
