Whenever I try to use a web site that needs Adobe Flash Player, Firefox asks me to download it. When I download it and try again, it still asks me to download. When I access the same web site using Safari, I have no problem. This is true for many web sites - whichever ones require Adobe Flash Player.

Carole, You do not seem to have Adobe Flash (aka Shockwave Flash) installed. If you did you would see it listed under your plugins. Follow the instructions in the article below to install Flash in Firefox.

See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+the+Flash+plugin

After the installation, check your version here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ or here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/

Current version is: 10.1.53.64
