Rick, Open the Tools menu in Firefox with Alt-T, then move down to Add-ons and press Enter. By default, the Plugins tab panel should be displayed. The trick to using this interface, which is HTML based to some extent, is to turn Browse Mode off. Tab to the list of plugins. I don't think there is a label for the list so you will need to listen for Window-Eyes to announce the name of the first plugin in the list. Once in the list, you should be able to use Up and Down to move through the items. Once you find the plugin of interest (i.e. Shockwave Flash), you should hear its name and version. The current version is 18.0.0.160. You can then Tab to find the More link and controls that can be used to customize the plugins options and behavior. For example, I have Firefox configured to Ask to Activate the Flash plugin. The other options in the combo box are Always activate and Never activate. If you don't want the plugin to run on pages that have Flash, you can set this option to Never ac tivate. Once you make changes, just close the page. I have Flash installed for IE, Firefox and Chrome. I usually don't run more than one browser at a time but in theory it should be possible to have more than one browser open and rendering Flash content. If needed, there is a way to find out what version of Flash is installed in each browser that you use. You can open the specific browser and visit: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. Assuming you don't have Flash disabled, a small Flash object will load on the page and display the version of Flash being used. I hope this helps.

Hi: I am running Firefox latest edition I think. After updating I get the message that The Adobe Flash PlugIn has crashed on most every webpage. I looked up this message and found instructions on trying diferent things to fix it. Most talk about going into the PlugIns MenuItem in Firefox and selecting a panel or tab but I don't see anything where I get a list of my current plugins but what looks like a list of choices I might want to download and install - no adobe flash plugin in the list. How do I navigate to the correct panel or tab or whatever where I can check the current plugins and activate the Adobe Flash PlugIn if it is not active? Also, I read there are 3 versions of flash, one for Firefox, one for Internet Explorer and one for Chrome. I am not sure which version I had installed, I may have clicked update flash from Internet Explorer a few days ago. Can I run both the one for firefox and the Internet Explorer version at the same time? How do I determine which version I have installed. This is why I avoid third party stuff but because of all the crashes with WindowEyes and Internet Explorer I was forced to look at flash. Hope someone has something on this since articles I read don't seem to match up with hwhat I hear trying to setup flash using WindowEyes.
