How can I get Firefox 4 to recognize that I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player

Firefox 4 refuses to play video clips. I get a box telling me that I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. I just downloaded 10.3 and is yet to play video clips.

You do not have Flash installed for Firefox. If you did you would see "Shockwave Flash (version number)" under modules > Plugins. You can see the Plugins reported with your question; Click on 'more system info... '. "to the right of your original question.

There are 2 versions of Flash, a single IE (ActiveX version) and for most other browsers like Firefox (plug-in version). You must update each individually.

To install or update Flash:

  1. using Firefox download and save Flash from this link (save to your desktop; easier for you to find): get.adobe.com/flashplayer
  2. When the download is complete, close Firefox (click Firefox > exit OR file > exit, if you use the Menu bar)
  3. Click or double-click the file that you just downloaded
  4. on the left side of the installation window, place a check in the box "I have read and agree."
  5. Click the Install button at the bottom right of the installation window. It comes on after you put the check mark in the previous step
  6. Let the complete installation; It's fast
  7. using Firefox to test your installation of Flash here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
  8. for IE, repeat the process, but use IE to go to the site in step 1.
