When I try to play a video using Firefox, I get a message that I need to download Flash player. I have Flash player, and it works fine on Google Chrome. How can I set Firefox so that it will play videos?

Flash player works on Google Chrome, but is somehow disabled on Firefox, and I can't figure out how to enable it. Please advise.

IE uses an ActiveX Flash plugin. Google Chrome comes with its own flash plugin (gcswf32.dll) Firefox uses a different NPAPI plugin.

Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.
You need to install Flash for Firefox as well.
