Using FF 3.6 and Windows Vista. Downloaded latest version of Adobe Flashplayer 10.1. Websites show a grey empty box, no content. When right clicking the Flashplayer menu pops up, proving it is a swf flashfile. Adobe Flashplayer not shown in Plugin menu, only Shockwave flashplayer.

You can try to disable Out-Of-Process-Plugins: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins

You can also try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

Many thanks. Disabling the hardware accelerator or out-of-process plug-ins was not the issue. But the article on out-of-process plug-ins mentioned firewall blocking issues, which upon investigation appeared to be the issue. Problem solved.
