Firefox is disabling all plugins (including flash) by default and will not let me enable them
I am using Firefox 23 (updated) and the latest flash plugin from Adobe's website. I am trying to access any pages with flash on them, and it says the flash plugin is disabled. When I pull up the plugins page, it says all of my plugins are disabled. If I click on them, I do not get a "Enable" button. I only have a "Remove" button. If I click on "More" and select "Always Activate" at the bottom and then restart the browser, the plugins are still disabled.
I deleted my addons.sqlite & pluginreg.dat as well (per another suggestion on the forum) and restarted -- there is no change.
I am so frustrated. I have used firefox for years, and I have never had the problems I have had with plugins and flash before this year. I am on the verge of going full-time to Chrome (which is NOT having these problems.). Please help me!

hello jesabele, if you have a "remove" button next to plugins something fundamentally is wrong (since plugins cannot be removed in firefox, because they are installed on a system level). please try to reset firefox and see if this can address the issue...
delete pluginreg.dat to refresh the list of plugins.
