I took the plunge and downloaded Flash 9 (134MB = 24hrs on my dialup, there is resume support). Following the links provided above for the uninstaller and the archived Flash versions, and following the instructions to the letter, Flash 9 brings back multi image upload capability. In Firefox 3 anyway. And I won't be upgrading to flash 10 anytime soon, or 11. :)

This is what I did in case it helps anyone. I downloaded the uninstaller and after closing EVERY unnecessary program I ran it, uninstall successful. Then I rebooted the system, because I was told to. With all unnecessary programs closed I then downloaded version 9 of Flash from the link above and as it was downloading shut down EVERYTHING but the download. The download is a zip file containing a number of folders containing all releases of version 9 so I opened the latest one, folder 9r151. I installed this one, flashplayer9r151_win.exe (there are two other win....exe files in this folder - and other files). And it works, so far.

The flash uploader was wonderful and I am disappointed with that lack of functionality.

I look forward to the fix.

Is it a problem of flashplayer 10 (btw also tried 9 somehow, and still nothing happened) or is it a firefox related problem.

I'm also really sad, because I need to upload more photos..

Looking forward to know what happens! Thanks!

It's too big. Is anyone else on dialup. :)

Will V8 work just as well?

Anyone know? Anyone done it?

I do remember upgrading flash so that is probably it. thesacredpath provide a link for uninstalling flash 10 but I haven't been able to find anything on reinstalling flash 9, or even if it will work. Or is there another thread I've missed?

Upgrades are not always bad. Just don't be the first to do it.
thesacredpath has a link to go back.

With wp.com, we don't get a choice about the upcoming change.

Does anyone know what the upcoming upgrade for wp.com will do with the Flash uploader? will it still remain available?

I've never once gotten the flash uploader to work, and this probably means that WP.com, Photobucket, and Flickr will stop drinking the Adobe kool-aid and use a simple browser uploader as the default again instead of making me click through extra pages just to do what I used to be able to do before.

It's unlikely there will be a direct solution - we're probably going to have to remove the Flash uploader and replace it with something else. In the meantime your options are to use the browser uploader, or downgrade to Flash 9.
