Ok what was causing it.
It was the 2nd add-on I disabled (First Classic Theme Restorer)
The Cause Firebug Extension.

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and hardware acceleration in Firefox and try this:
- make sure you have the latest Flash version:
http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html - check for updates for your graphics drive drivers
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration - disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Windows Vista and later)
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/adobe-flash-protected-mode-firefox - disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Absolutely none of those worked. I even tried to open a .swf game from my pc in Firefox and it came up blank.
Yes I uninstalled flash using the uninstaller and reloaded it.

Well I Since I have so many add-ons I learned to start disabling the "heavy" add-ons with the most features. Then any add-ons related to issue I am having.
Also Using the Error Console , open that, then clear out of any messages and then try to preform the issue I am having to see if any message pop up on it
I seem to have fixed this problem accidentally, and would like to share. After updating to Flash 21.0.0.226, it was always disabled. I would enable then even refreshing the Add-ons Manager page would show the plug-in as again disabled.
As a test, I archived my current profile and reloaded the default profile, which I keep archived for testing and other emergency purposes. (Firefox then updates the profile pathname in profiles.ini: Path=Profiles/XXXXXXXX.default)
After starting and quitting FF with the default profile, I then went back to my current active profile. I then had to manually update the profile pathname back to my active profile.
For some reason, this fixed the problem.
