How do I get Firefox to use the flash that comes with windows 8?
I can't get firefox to recognize the embed flash for windows 8. Is there a way to do this now will a future version of firefox have this ability if it is currently lacking. Basic I see that there is flash on my laptop and I.E. uses it.

I don't believe that is possible, as the version of Flash embeded in IE is an ActiveX version, you still have to install Flash for other browsers from Adobe.com
Like Tyler said, there are separate versions of Flash for Internet Explorer (Flash ActiveX) and for other browsers (Flash plugin). Firefox can't use the ActiveX version so you need to install it manually. This article should help with that:
Thank you..........Do you know why there are 2 flash plugins open in task manger when streaming videos?
hello glune, this is expected behaviour since adobe has introduced a sandboxed mode for its flash plugin in firefox. for more information, see http://blogs.adobe.com/asset/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-f....
