I successfully install Flash. It works with the Internet Explorer. Firefox does not seem to know it has been installed. I installed it multiple times and still get a message from Firefox to install Flash.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I started firefox in safe mode and then brought up cnn.com and tried to look at a video. I got the same message asking me to install Flash. How do I determine what is causing this?
