Adobe website says Firefox is installed. Works under Internet Explorer. But Firefox Options Plugins does not show either Flash or Shock. Trying an install bombs out with an error that it can't find entry point in a Windows system file. How do I get Firefox to see that Flash is already in Windows 8?

Adobe has different installers for IE and Firefox, because IE takes an ActiveX control and Firefox takes a plugin. You might need the second installer if you have never run it before.

Visit using Firefox and make sure to uncheck any unwanted extras.

After the installer downloads, you will need to run it. If that's where the problem is, you can try the "offline" installer that doesn't need to connect back to Adobe for more files and see whether that works better:

Choose one of the downloads for "Plugin-based browsers".

Any luck?
