Since the last Firefox update Flash player does not work every time I start up the computer...If I uninstall and reinstall Flash it works until I shut down computer. At one stage got a message saying Firefox has blocked Flash Player.

The problem is with Firefox as I do NOT have this problem with Explorer.

Have seen a suggestion previously regarding a temporary solution to install an earlier version of Flash but doen't work for me...

Please help..

Firefox and Explorer use different versions of the flash player. Please explain what you mean about flash being blocked. Any error messages?

See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration

I have just recently updated my graphic drivers (14th June)..

The error message is - "Context3D not available! Possible reasons: wrong wmode or missing device support" As I said above I recently saw a temporary fix but didn't work.

As far as the message re blocking..unable to locate that message again...

What ad blocker were you using? Have you contacted its support?
