Flash Switcher - Sephiroth

Flash Switcher extension for Firefox

Preview of Flash Switchersephiroth did Flash Switcher extension for Mozilla firefox. It can be useful for Flash developer who want to easily test their pages with different flash player versions.
The extension hasn't been approved yet by the Mozilla developer extension team so sephiroth decided to test it.

This extension comes with all the currently published flash player plugins (from the version 2 to the most recent 9,0,16) and allows you to easily switch from one plugin to another, or also to remove the currently installed plugin (maybe for testing the express install).

Once installed you will find the "flash switcher" icon in the Firefox statusbar at right. Click on it and a list of available options will appear.

Can I add more flashplayer versions?
Yes, even if you should do it manually.
The extensionn folder can be found here:

C:\{userAppData}\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\{userProfile}\extensions\{2b5cfade-d133-429c-aea5-865911de4e1d}
Into the "chrome\plugins" folder you will see different folder (such as 9.0 r16, 8.0 r24 etc) with a file NPSWF32.dll within.

To install a new plugin just create a new folder with the name of the player version and copy into it the NPSWF32.dll file which comes with every flash player installer.
You can find all the old flash Player Versions here

Install flash_switcher.xpi here (currently Windows only)
