Update Firefox then check to see that your plug-ins are up-to-date:

Also test your Flash player on Adobe's website and confirm the version (please check using each browser, if you have, say, IE & Firefox installed)

Check also that your add-ons are up-to-date, from Firefox's menu bar:

     Tools > Add-ons

I found out that during the installation process you have to choose the bullet/option that states something about the add-on (I believe it is the second bullet you can choose) that will install Messenger.
