I've just seen this on the BBC website. It is only relevant if you use Flash 11.3 (11.2 and earlier are OK) and you also use Vista or Windows 7.

 

Adobe has as yet been unable to fix a problem which has left many Firefox users unable to watch Flash video online.

An update to the software - which is used by sites like YouTube - has been causing the Firefox browser to crash.

The problem was said to be affecting users of the browser on Windows Vista and Windows 7.

In a statement, Mozilla said: "Adobe and Mozilla are working closely to diagnose and address these issues."

It added: "In the meantime, Firefox users experiencing problems viewing videos in Flash Player should try the workarounds listed in this help article."

Among the suggested solutions is downgrading Adobe's software.

The update was initially released on 8 June.

No other browsers or operating systems are believed to have been affected by the problem.

Yes, easily done.

 

And Firefox has just released another update from version 12 to 13.0.1. It's quite  a change as when you open a new tab, instead of getting a blank page you now get a screen with snapshots of the sites you visit most, and clicking on a snapshot takes you straight to that site.
