Flash version 11 does not seem to work with FF 7. My earlier version of Flash Player was crashig so I installed the latest version and now FF doesn't recognize it at all. I'd rahter not have to use IE, but now am doing so for NPR & Pandora!
I have Flash version 11.0.1.152 installed and it works with IE, but FF tells me The Player requires version 8 or higher of the Adobe Flash Player.
Please obtain a free upgrade to the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player.

There are two different versions of Flash, the ActiveX version for IE and the Plugin version used by most other browsers.
1.Download the Flash Plugin version 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.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
- 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).
