Details

build: 2002020406 win32 (0.9.8)

When I go to a site that has a flash animation (such as included URL), the
animation does not appear, and the status bar shows
"Starting Plugin for type application/x-shockwave-flash".

about:plugins shows that the Flash plugin is installed

File name: C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\plugins\NPSWF32.dll
Shockwave Flash 5.0 r41

I had an earlier 0.9.8 test installer build installed in this directory, then
uninstalled it and installed 0.9.8 release build in the same directory.
bug 116562 ? reporter, can u pls change ur disk cache setting?  
FWIW: The Java plugin (installed in the same way) works fine.
Disk cache field was empty.  Setting to 16384 and restarting makes the animation
appear.

Marking dup of bug 116562.
