I think Flash is broken. Videos won't load, etc.? - Squidmaster - 04-08-2014 08:38 PM

I use Firefox, latest version, on a Mac with OS X. It was fine the other day, I shut it down, restarted yesterday and suddenly Flash content wasn't working (at least I assume it's Flash).
Videos won't load (neither Youtube, nor BBC iPlayer), and an experiment to check seems that browser games (Newgrounds, Kongregate, etc) won't load either.
When checking Youtube, the Comments wouldn't load either.
I tried going to the Adobe site to reinstall Flash, but the problem won't let me click the link to download it.

Please help.
Thanks.

Try completely uninstalling Flash then reinstall

I have had the same problem under Windows and this usually fixes it.

In short, almost nothing works. This isn't a Flash issue. If you cannot get the download link to respond, it's nothing about Flash. Obviously one needn't have Flash installed to download the Flash installer. It is a "nothing much works in Firefox" issue.

Have you even CONSIDERED a ten second test with Safari? That will show if the issue is isolated to FF.
