Videos won't play in Firefox?

I updated my Adobe Flash Player yesterday and now I can't get videos to play on Firefox. I've tried videos on YouTube and NFL.com and neither of them work.

The videos work fine in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox.

Please help!!! I hate IE! LOL

Update:

Yep.

Update 2:

@turbow, yeah, Silverlight is enabled.

Update 3:

When I got to YouTube I get a message saying "You need to update your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video" - even after I redownloaded the updated flash player...

Update 4:

Thanks for the edit. I'm on Window 7. I even tried completely uninstalling Firefox and redownloading it and it still didn't work.

    Did you download it with firefox?

    Edit: You aren't by chance using Vista? If so, adobe flash has no intention of fixing any problems for Vista. I had to download the uninstaller for Flash from the Adobe website and download the previous version of flash on a Vista machine I have.
