shockwave flash plugin works only on youtube, and no other site on firefox web browser

firefox the latest version web browser says that the shockwave flash Plugin I have needs update, but I have shockwave flash version11 on the latest version of firefox on a very update ubuntu11.10 OS32Bit. Flashworks well with YOUtube but fails on other sites like crictime.com or Krazy community.com for watching online streaming videos. this problem started after the last update to shockwave installer.Can We please have a fresh and better update that works with all the sites ??? Please and Thank you..

It is ubuntu11.10 , 32 Bit, on gnome Classic (no effect)I am using, and the flash player that came with it. I do not know if the flash player is 32 Bit or 64Bit.

Shockwave don't own flash anymore, it's owned by Adobe.

Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'

Thanks

Sorry!! I may not be knowing how to get the information you wanted. I apologize for my ignorance.

Warm Regards.

Actionparsnip is a genious and knows what he is doing, after the operation advised, I just had to remove the flash plugin10 and reinstall it through Ubuntu software center and Vrooooooom! It works again. Thank you friends for the quick solution. So I presume that flash installer that came as an update was the culprit? Whatever it was, everything works now and Life is good again. No more miserable.Thank you friends forSOLVING THE PROBLEM
