Gonna keep this short and sweet cos its covered elsewhere but was a pain for me so gonna blog it!

Task: Upgrade Flash Player from 9,0,45 to 9,0,47 in FireFox

Problem: When it comes to running a project from Flex Builder 2 an error message pops up stating:

*C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\NPSWF32.dll
