UPDATE: I resolved the issue by doing the following.

1. Make sure to install the most updated version of Flash. http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html

2. Delete all references to Flash or Shockwave in Macintosh HD > Library > Internet Plugins > Disabled Plugins


Check to see if the version is older by looking at the Date Created sort field. If they are Flash related and weren't installed today, delete them.

I have a new MacBook Pro and I followed these instructions, downlonading and installing the new Flash plugin. But when I looked in "/Library/Internet Plugins" there was no folder called "Disabled Plugins".


However, I did see two versions of Flash:


_Flash Player.plugin with old date

Flash Player.plugin with todays date


I deleted _Flash Player.plugin and this fixed the problem.

It's not Apple's fault that Adobe's Flash is a security issue.

If a cop stopped and told you that there was a downed power line ahead and the road was blocked, would you blame the cop?

If Safari didn't block insecure plugins, you would have Windoze.


It's entirely Adobe's fault for not removing the old Flash plugin when it installs the new one.

If you haven't updated Flash you should do so.

Adobe will determine the version based on your Mac automatically, if you just visit their site.


Go to Adobe.com instead of some third-party's website and click on "Downloads" near the top center in the navigation bar and then click on the "Get Flash" button.


The current build, as of this post, is: 11.3.300.268


I won't leave a direct link because I think we should get into the habit of always going to the source for ANY stuff we download from the web.


I have been running Mountan Lion for over 4 months, because I have a Developers License. I love it.
