Firefox Not recognising the latest version of Abode Flash Player

This is a fix to a common problem.

Do you have Firefox V3 installed? Is Wetpaint not recognising that the latest Versions of Abode Flash are installed (V9 or V10)? As a result are you having problems uploading photos from your PC to Wetpaint?

If so then there are several known fixes including:

1. Uninstalling then Re-installing Abode Flash
2. Ensure the Abode Flash is for Firefox and not IE. There are different types.
3. Ensure you have no Flash blocking programmes as add-ons or Extensions within Firefox (Go to 'Tools' then 'Add-ons' then either 'Plugins' or 'Extensions' or both. If you find one just delete it or Disable it. If you are unsure if it is a flash blocking programme you could try disabling it as a trial.

This may work but none worked for me, in the end I solved the problem by trial and error, my solution was as follows.

I did go into Tools then Add-ons and finally extensions as mentioned above but there was one programme that I thought might make a difference...'Media Wrap' a tool designed to help with things like Flash, not make it difficult. But it was the only programme that had anything to do with media..including Flash. Once disabled I was able to upload photos.... 8  out of 9 found this valuable. Do you?

......from my PC to Wetpaint. Why this was happening I do not know as it was working before, I believe it is an error with the Latest version of Firefox and Abode together, and perhaps the issue is only with Wetpaint. But the problem clearly was Mediawrap.

If you dont have Mediawrap and have tried the other fixes try this style of trial and error. Do you have any other plugins or extensions that are anything to do with Media? Try disabling it. If that does not fix it you can always enable it again. 4  out of 4 found this valuable. Do you?
