Flash player 11.8 successfully installed but is listed as disabled in the add-ons with no option to enable
I cannot get flash player to work on my firefox browser. I installed the latest version of flash player on my mac several times, and it says it is installed successfully. If I look on my add-ons from the "Tools" menu, it says that Flashplayer is disabled, but with no button or option that I can see to enable it. If I try to watch a video on youtube, it says that flash is blocked for my protection. Flash is working fine on Safari and Chrome. Do you have any advice as to what I can do to get flash working on this browser? Thank you!

delete the pluginreg.dat file in your profile folder.
To do this:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Info > Open In Finder
- When Finder shows close firefox.
- After firefox is closed, delete pluginreg.dat
- Open Firefox again.

I closed firefox and deleted pluginreg.dat, and then I opened firefox again and a new pluginreg.dat file appeared. The flash player still appears to be disabled when I look at my plugins though and if I go to a website that requires flash it still doesn't work.
Any reinstall of flash attempted?
