Is NS blocking Flash?

As of yesterday, Flash stopped working in my FF. Flash works fine in IE8.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling using both Revo uninstaller and the Adobe Flash uninstaller multiple times.

And I just tested in FF Safe Mode and Flash works fine there.

I run the FlashBlock add-on and tried testing with that enabled and disabled. Either mode made not difference.

So that seems to leave NS in the hot seat.

I was using this URL to test with:

NoScript can also be configured to block Flash on all sites, i.e. even on whitelisted sites which then makes it behave it similar to FlashBlock.

Flash for IE & FF are separate downloads (installs).
Make sure you have installed both.

What does about:addons | Plugins show?

Here is a picture of what I see on the adobe test page AND evidence that both versions of the Flash plug-in are installed.

I actually have embeddings (including Flash) blocked in the NS options. In actuality, I am not even sure why I still have FlashBlock enabled. Maybe I'll remove it.
