Hmm, doesn't work for me either, and it did before I ran the updates. 
However, default browser still plays flash video.

This seems to work for me, go to 'about:config', search for 'plugin', 
select 'plugin.default_plugin_disabled' and press Enter.  Then, select 
'plugin.disable' and press Enter again.  They should both be bold and false.

I had to restart my browser a few times, but it seems to work.

hth,

Jason.
