Adobe Flash Player works fine on Internet Explorer. Must I change my browser to IE?

What glitch?

Are you aware that there are two versions of Flash?
One for IE (ActiveX) and another for most other browers (Plugin version).

1.Download the Flash setup file from here:
Adobe Flash - Plugin version.
Save it to your Desktop.

2. Close Firefox using File > Exit
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure firefox.exe is closed,
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}

3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

The URL/link in your reply does not work. 404 error, not found. Mozilla seems to have disabled ALL types of flash players. I cant find a single one that is allowed. Ive tried for 2 days now to find one that mozilla will allow.
