Hi,

It could be that the automatic detection downloaded the 64-bit Flash which would work only with 64-bit Firefox. Please try this: In the Adobe Flash Player download page, click Do you have a different operating system or browser? and choose Window 7 (32-bit)*** in the top box and Flash Player 11 for Other Browsers (32-bit) in the bottom box. Download, exit Firefox, install, start Firefox and check.

Good try, but didn't help. I followed and clicked "do you have diff", but there was no change when I clicked either first or second box to which I could make any selections. It just repeated "select an operating system". I wish I could get back to the earlier version of Firefox.
