My firefox installation behaves strange on some adobe flash widgets. I will try to explain the strange behaviour:

on www.odpod.se there is a widget that plays a podcast. If i move the mouse over the play symbol, it flashes as if I moved the mouse in and out of the symbols focus, but the mouse is actually over the symbol all the time. If i press the left mouse button, nothing happens unless I click 20-30 times fast, then it might start to play.

If I open the same webpage in iExplorer, it works fine. I have tried uninstalling the flash plug in several times to no avail. I have had this problem for more then 6 months, and I have always updated to the latest version. I now have version 11,5,502,110

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:

  • disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
  • disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
  • downgrade the Flash player to version 10.3

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

You can try to reset Firefox.

If you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some of your data (bookmarks, passwords, cookies, form data) is automatically imported and your current profile will be moved to the desktop (Old Firefox Data).

You can recover more data from the old profile (be cautious with doing that).
