Hi jeremb99935809,As of Windows 8, Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer (and Edge in Win10) and all updates are distributed by Microsoft via Windows Update. Due to this the uninstaller does not remove the embedded version of Flash Player. To manage Flash Player in Manage Add-ons, select to show 'Run without Permissions' items and scroll to the bottom until you see Shockwave Flash Object.To install Flash Player for Firefox, launch Firefox and navigate to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer. Download the installer. Close the browser, locate the downloaded executable installer file, double-click it to launch the installer, and follow on-screen prompts to install.--Maria
