I have Windows 7 64 bit but any browser attempt to install appears to be 32 bit. I noticed this when attempting to look into an Adobe Flash Player problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

Firefox for Windows is a 32 bit application and thus requires 32 bit versions of plugins as well.
So you need to install the 32 bit Flash version if that version hasn't been installed automatically already.

You can check the version of the current Flash player here:

Thanks very much. I switched to Foxfire and Adobe Flash Player works fine with it. It did not with IE 11.

My problem is solved.
