Question

Firefox 10.0.2 does not detect Flash Player Plugin 64-bit 11.1.102.62

OS: Windows 7 x64 SP1

Browser: Firefox 10.0.2

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Player. I even completely uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.

No matter what I do, Firefox will not detect Flash at all, even though it is installed. If I go to a site that requires Flash, it gives me the errors saying that I need to install Flash. If I try to install Flash automatically with Firefox's plugin finder, it always fails and directs me to Adobe's Flash page. If I do the manual install, it installs, but still won't work with Firefox.

Google Chrome detects and works perfectly with Flash Player 11.

The last version of Flash that worked with Firefox was 10.3.

Please help.

Thank you.

I finally found out. I was being directed to download the wrong version of Flash Player.

After I downloaded and installed this version, it started working.

Be certain to uninstall the other version first.

Just to be sure, can you install this version of the installer?

Flash Player for other browsers

In addition, sometimes Firefox issues can be resolved by creating a new Firefox profile.  Please give this a try too.
