Flash Player broken in Firefox 3 on Mac OS X

When I installed version 10 of the Flash Player on my macbook pro everything seemed to work ok.  I use WordPress and at the time v10 of flash broke the multi-upload feature.  Because of this I decided to back off to v9.  All seemed well except that I noticed that some flash based sites didn’t view at all.  I assumed that it was because they were published for flash 10.  Later on I gave in and installed the v10 player again.  I noticed that some sites still didn’t work.  I knew the problem wasn’t the plugin itself because everything worked fine in Safari.  Finally I trashed Firefox and reinstalled it.  This didn’t seem to help.  I figured there were probably some config files left behind so I trashed it again after enabling AppTrap.  This allowed me to trash all config and support files for Firefox at the same time that I trashed the application itself.  I then reinstalled and everything has been working every since then. I hope you find this post helpful if you run into the same problem.
