Firefox And The New Flash Update...
So, a couple of days ago, I downloaded the new Flash update from Adobe. As soon as I re-booted, every Flash-based application on the intertubes went kablooey. YouTube stopped working properly, Think Progress' embedded video, and Google Video stopped working properly, everything. It would load, but, only play about two seconds worth of video, with no audio, and then stop. So, I spent today uninstalling all of my media apps, uninstalling Firefox and Flash, and reloading everything. Things are still a little weird, but, (after hours of deduction, and reloading this blog, and re-running the Olbermann piece) it seems that as long as I don't open Bloomberg.com, and don't open my own blog first in a group of tabs in Firefox, Flash works just fine. We'll see how long it lasts.
It's very annoying having to reopen sites in the Evil Blue E browser just to view a video. I have nothing odd running on my machine, no weird apps, everything was running perfectly until the Flash update. Hopefully, the good folks at Mozilla are aware of the issue, working on this.
Is anyone else having similar problems?
