Flash and other stuff not working with firefox anymore, please help?

(1/1)

superboyac:
I recently tried messing around with some security applications, and now I've realized that flash doesn't work in my firefox browser (2.0) and also the DC forum looks all messed up.  I don't know what to do, I uninstalled the applications that I was trying out, but it didn't help.  Here are the programs I tried out the last couple of days:
--Outpost Firewall
--Spy Sweeper

I don't know what I did, but I uninstalled both of them.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks! The screenshot shows what is happening.

As far as the forum showing up like that,that is strange,try clearing your browser cache.

When it comes to flash you'll might have to uninstall then install again,and the regular uninstall doesn't always
do the job try these.

Run firefox -profilemanager and make a new profile. May be blocking lists are 10 miles long, dont know those programs but just in case. Transfer bookmarks.html from old profile, dont delete it. Same problem with IE?

superboyac:
tinyvillager, ah!  I didn't see your post when I checked back on this thread, it might have saved me some time.

dk70, I did what you said and it worked, thank you!  I also learned about two useful plugins I didn't know about, FEBE and CLEO.  THanks again, I'll try tinyvillager's solution first next time, I think it might have actually done the trick.
