I have adobe flash 10.2 installed on my computer via internet explorer, can I install flash plugin through firefox browser

I installed the firefox browser, but it will not display farmville. Do I need to install the flash plugin in the browser firefox or internet explore. I have already adobe flash player installed through Web browser to explore.

There are 2 versions of Flash:

  • the ActiveX for IE version only (see: [ActiveX])
  • the version of the plugin for Firefox and other browsers, except IE

You need to update/install both if you use IE and any other browser. See the instructions below.

  1. To update or install the Flash plugin for the latest version.

    • Download and SAVE to your desktop, so you can find the Setup program later
    • If you do not have the current version, click on the "Player Download Center" link on the 'download and information' or 'Download manual installers' below
    • Once the download is complete, exit Firefox
    • Click on the installer, you just download and install
      • Windows 7 and Vista: will need to right click on the installer and choose 'run as administrator '.
    • Launch Firefox and recheck your version or up to the download link below to test the installation
    • Download and information: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
      • Use Firefox to go to the site above to update the Firefox plugin (will also install the plugin for most other browsers, except IE)
      • Use IE to go to the site above to update the ActiveX to IE
    • Download manual installers.

If the above has solved the problem, please go back to this answer and click on the button 'Resolved' next to this response. Thank you.
