Technology can drive you NUTS. OK, primal scream finished.

One morning you wake up and everything that was working perfectly the night before is suddenly not.

What gives?

Chances are there was an update. And we all know that updates often cause other programs to malfunction. In this case Adobe Flash Player disappeared and needed a “fix” after Firefox upgraded to version 13.0.1. Flash player is needed for music players to work. My main blog page players became white boxes. In the meantime, you sit there baffled.

This is what happened to me:

When Firefox updated to version 13.0.1 and Adobe Flash player disappeared, I read the article…from Computer World and PC World: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9228374/Adobe_fixes_Flash_Player_for_Firefox_to_stop_crashes

I followed all the directions and links, nothing worked, not updating players, no “fixes,” no emptying of the Firefox cache.

Finally I found a simple solution on the FF help site:
