Try to download the flash manually[not redirected by firefox page ] from the authentic website Get Adobe .Then run your firefox again. Also Checks that the setting does allow pop-up blocker. Check also Viper settings that it allows pop ups. Sometimes malware comes instead of flash s/w.

On the Adobe page, in the middle is usually some bonus software you can include in the download. Try unchecking that to see whether it helps.

Or get it from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html as nothing will be included.
