Flash Player installs fine, but does not work in firefox

Adobe flash player doesn't seem to work on my firefox. I try to watch anything that uses the flash and he suggests that install it. I have re-installed flash and shockwave flash as well as firefox about 5 times now. nothing works. It seems to work on Google chrome, but I want to continue to use firefox.

Searching the Internet has failed me, and I can't find all the topics with solutions.

I hope someone here can help or at least point me in the right direction.

I had the same problem you had for a long time until I found this forum Vincent. Little by little, I've collected some clues and I hope not too late to share my research with you. Heres how I fixed thanks to Carl E. Myers, who gave me the answers to identify the problem.

The way in which I discovered that the problem is when I saw the control/flashplayer Panel noted Carl E, the Flash ActiveX and plugin are not installed as 32 bits in which I will explain later. From what you post, it's very likely your problem as well.

so here's how to solve this problem:

http://www.Adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

1. on this page, you will see

Download Windows Flash Player (for IE) 11.2 ActiveX control content debugger (EXE, 3.93 MB)

Download and installation

2. the same page, you will see

Download the Windows Flash Player 11.2 Plugin (for Netscape compatible browsers) content debugger

That should do it. Why?

Flash from Adobe installed as a 64-bit installation!

Your computer is a 64-bit, like mine, so that's why ie and firefox are not picking up our installation of Adobe Flash, because Adobe Flash automatically installs on windows system you are running. It's a big problem we users of 64-bit because some applications are NOT 64 bit but more so compatible (if necessary). For example, Mozilla Waterfox is a 64-bit application that is built to our windows and you would see that the flash would work without problem because flash has been installed as a 64-bit. In addition, IE64bit, another proof that should be able to achieve as well, but not to be confused with IE as it is a 32-bit application.

Plugins and activex controls you have installed are manual installation 32 bit and that you now understand why it will now work for firefox, ie and other browsers 32 bits that needed it. Apples to apples now.

PS even if which should fix, I highly recommend using Waterfox instead of Firefox because it is surprisingly fast and way better live for your windows.
