I'm using Firefox 29 in Windows 7 on a 64 bit platform. The Flash plugin keeps crashing, or at least giving me a crash message, constantly. I can see versions 11.9.900.170, 12.0.0.77 and 13.0.0.214, the current version. I uninstalled flash and none showed up, then reinstalled the latest version and now I see all three again. If I disable any one of the three, Flash doesn't work at all. This seems strange; shouldn't only the latest version be showing up? Even when Firefox says it's crashed, I can sometimes still get Flash to play.

Where do you see these different versions?

Checking the Plugins in FireFox 30 (32-Bit) (Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit):

That explains it: you have some old entries in the 32-bit folder.
Try uninstalling all using http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
If that folder is empty after that, reinstall from
otherwise delete everything before reinstalling.

I do not understand why I was running the Uninstaller multiple times, other than it keeps searching and deleting some of the files in different areas. I ran it 3 times where I saw no more changes, then deleted all 4 folder locations. Install appears to have worked alright, except upon checking - no text or graphic in the Yellow Box:
Update: Same blank, Yellow Box problem, but I noticed when I Reload the page (FireFox 30), the "Check Now" text in the orange button is grayed and non-functional. Not until I hold the Shift button on my keyboard and click Reload will the 'Check Now' button function again.

I see exactly the same on all browsers. I think the yellow box is only for error messages.

Hmmm. I thought there would be an 'ok' verification message in there. Maybe not. It looks like something should be there - being that big Yellow Box is showing.
Thanks. All is OK with Flash 14... and FireFox 30 so far - but I have not open 20+ Tabs yet.
