Hi,

We have an iMac (OS 10.4.11) which has happily been running Firefox with Adobe flashplayer plug-in since new.
Unfortunately, my wife decided to "tidy up" and now Firefox doesn't have the flash plug-in.

I've tried re-installing Flash Player (10.2), which gives no errors, but Firefox still won't open .swf files or open flash-based video streams (e.g. BBC iPlayer).

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks -- MegaMogs

I'd remove and reinstall Firefox and then re-install the Flash Player for it.

I'd remove and reinstall the wife. :Lips-Are-Sealed:

Just reinstalling the Flash Player is not going to help. You also must reinstall the FF plugin that utilizes the Flash Player. Without the plugin, it won't work.
