If your choice is number 1 which to let Chrome use its component update to update flash in the browser, we’ll go through below the registry you need to verify.

Under the storage tab, click ‘delete all’ (local storage settings). This can be done through Tools -> Addons -> Plugins -> Enable Shockwave Flash.Īnother suggestion for Chrome users is to go to the Flash Player Settings in the Control Panel. Some are reporting in the thread that enabling Adobe Flash Player in Firefox resolves their issues. It also seems to be concluded that the issue is only affecting Windows Chrome users. Others are saying the problem also affects Firefox but I’m unable to reproduce it there. We’ll keep this thread updated as we know more. It’s possible that Yahoo Mail may not be detecting the Flash type/version used in Chrome and Firefox correctly.

We’re aware that most of you have enabled Flash Player versions that are higher than 9.0. As confirmed by many of you, this is not a Chrome-specific problem as this also happens on Firefox. We’ve contacted Yahoo Mail about this issue, and waiting to hear back. A Googler by the name of Toni confirmed the problem yesterday and updated the status to inform folks that they have reached out to Yahoo Mail on the issue. An issue has been created for Chromium on Google Code and a thread is available on the Google Chrome forum. Many other users have chimed in to confirm the problem (with various levels of details).
