There are other things that need your attention.

Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.

  1. Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0
  2. Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900

You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page.

You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove all (older) version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and (re)install the latest Flash player.

  • (32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
  • (64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\

i couldn't get it working myself either when trying to reproduce the steps on google drive. maybe also report the issue to google, so that they can have a look into it...

Philipp, do you really think that Google will help in this case? They rather leave it as is. Like to promote their own browser,Chrome.

They win, because I intend to delete Firefox and start to use Chrome instead. Gives me less trouble.
