I have done this 4 times this morning to no avail. I had already read all 3 help links that were suggested to me by another firefox user. I used the link posted and it told me I needed to go to Adobe site and find newer version. I downloaded that one also but it still comes up each time I try to log onto a pogo game using Flash that it is not installed and need to do it again. Yes I have 5 hairs left. Thank you so much from trying to help me it means alot.

Try to run the Flash installer as Administrator via the right-click context menu (Run as..) if it isn't working.
