Ran into the problem again.  Removing the registry entries with Revo seems to have solved it.

Hi,

 

I seem to keep losing Adobe Flash Player extension in Firefox or it gets corrupted.  What happens is I'll go to Pandora.com or YouTube and the page hangs and locks up Firefox.  Uninstalling and reinstalling fixes it for a while but then it will stop in a few days. 

 

Have tried the uninstaller from Adobe and it does not solve the issue.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the replies.  I downloaded Revo uninstaller and did the uninstall that way.  It found registry entries but I missed how to remove those.  I had it remove all the folders for Flash.  Hopefully that will do it.
