Adobe Flash only works when I run Firefox in Admin Mode

As the title says, I need to run Firefox in admin mode each time for Adobe Flash to work.

When I do not run it in admin mode, and I visit say Youtube, the box where the flash player should appear flickers and just does not load. The HTML5 version eventually loads instead.

When I visit the adobe flash test page it does not work either. Only when I run in admin mode it works fine.

Problem is I do not want to run Firefox in Admin mode for security reasons each time I use the browser. I have tried reinstalling mozilla, disabling all plugins/extensions, reinstalling adobe flash several times.

I DO NOT have this problem when using Google Chrome.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Skanza
