Firefox 33.0 Continuously downloading flashplayer and installing it. After install, it says install was finished, then takes me to a page "here are more products you might enjoy" within firefox that never loads. When I got to youtube or pages that use flash, they ask me to install flashplayer (youtube still runs, but other pages videos do not) http://screencast.com/t/sK6gEfT50JN It tells me plugin not available.

My firefox plugins do not display Adobe Flash after installing it.

I am on windows 7 and have run out of ideas aside from reinstalling firefox which I'm hoping I can avoid. Flash player works on google chrome.

This will get you the current Flash player plugin on Windows for browsers like Firefox and without anything bundled with it. http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe

Make sure Firefox is completely exited first before installing Flash.

Then you can check at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Google Chrome comes with a Pepper Flash plugin and uses that version by default.

Make sure that you install the 32 bit Flash player for Firefox.

You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page:
