[Bug 830173] Re: Shockwave Flash outdated version. Can't update it.

[Gary D]

I reported similar problems on bug report 933509.  There does seem to be
a conflict between the "GNU Gnash free GPL'd SWF player" and the Adobe
Flash player; both seem to want to be the only Flash player on the PC.

I had removed, then reinstalled the Adobe player, and kept getting a
message saying my Flash was out-of-date.  Today, I removed both the
Adobe and the GNU Gnash player, and then just reinstalled the Adobe
Flash player.

Now, Tools > Addons > "Check to see if your plugins are up to date"
reports that my Flash player IS up to date.   I can play Youtube OK.
The videos on http://tv.yahoo.com/primetime/  no longer report that
Flash is not present on the PC, but it plays in erratic 2-5 second
snippets skipping through the various videos available there.  Likewise
on the ABC.com site.

The Adobe flash player installed alone seems to work better than the Gnu
Gnash SWF player installed alone.  Neither works as well as Adobe Flash
on  In****** Ex******  on Wi***** XP, though.
