Sounds like a bigger prob for you... - friedchikkin

1. That hasn't happened to me and 2. Your problem seems to extend to all your extensions, not just NoFlash.

This sounds like your profile file(s) might be corrupt.

You didn't even try anything, did you? - xjja

All you have to do is wait a couple of days and the developer will update it. Or try an alternative like FlashBlock or one of several others. There's this undertone i'm picking up on of being a victim of the evil Mozilla in your post. Eliminating the highly likely scenario that it's something to do with your Firefox profile, it is most likely either a bug in Firefox (did you log it as a bug with Mozilla's publicly accessible bug tracker, because they can't fix things they don't know about?), or a bug or some dodginess that is in the extension itself, eg: they're hooking into something they shouldn't be. That is, NoFlash is incompatible with 3.5.3, not "3.5.3 disables NoFlash", which, as I said, has a different, more sinister meaning behind it.

Before you jump to the whining, how about starting off with some logic. Instead of just going "oh, it says it'll update it, then it doesn't, I give up, damn Firefox", why not try disabling other extensions in case there is a conflict, or create a new, fresh, clean profile (Mozilla themselves recommend this, so you obviously didn't even try their support resources) and see if the problem persists. This isn't rocket science. It's simple logic, which is not even technology-specific:

"Doctor, it hurts when I do *this*"
"Then stop doing it."

A + B = C. So what happens if you change A or B? That's, like, from second grade or something.

Srsly.

Oh, and.... - xjja

The bit I loved? "Why are plugins no longer supported?"

You don't think Mozilla would say something if they decided to drop support for plugins (extensions, actually)? One of their biggest selling points for their browser, and they'd remove the ability to install extensions within an x.x.1 update, and do so without telling anyone?

Yep, that makes sense.

Won't you break a leg when you dismount from that ten-foot horse you're riding?

Oh, puhlease.

What's so high-horse about telling someone to actually do something about a problem they're having? To stop pretending to be a victim and blaming someone else without even knowing what the hell they're talking about? And just coming here to whine about it as if there was some shady, sinister plot going on, having clearly not done anything useful - not even anything Mozilla recommends for every single issue.

The crux of it is as I said: DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

I'm sitting comfortably, thank you very much, and will continue to do so in the future. However, I imagine there's a foot-long appendage attached to whatever you're sitting on, that you might want to extricate some day.

Ta....
