If you’re having trouble with Firefox and Flash after a recent update, you may have the same problem I had. If you’re using Adblock, a popular Firefox extension, the Macromedia home page might look like this:

The solution that worked for me was to change the Adblock settings. Here’s how:

In Firefox, in the Tools menu, select Adblock and then Preferences (or Ctrl+Shift+P).

Click on the Adblock Options button at the top of the dialog. The drop down should look similar to this:

Note that the Obj-Tabs option is currently checked. Click that option to deactivate the Obj-Tabs feature.

Click the Done button, and click Refresh on the browser.

The small Obj-Tabs are gone, but Flash content has returned! Activating this option does make it more challenging to block Flash content on web pages. As it is right now though, with them enabled, all Flash content is being disabled.
