I had no problem accessing my Comcast webmail account until today. I have no problem accessing my Comcast home page but when I click on email, it just keeps "connecting" no matter how long I wait. No error message.

Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.

  • Shockwave Flash 15.0 r0
  • Shockwave Flash 11.4 r402

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 older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.
