Please do the following. Download both the Flash uninstaller and installer from these links:

See screenshot for an example of what these files look like.

Next:

  1. Close Firefox and then run the uninstall_flash_player.exe file to remove Flash from your system.

  2. Reboot to remove it from the Windows Registry. This step is important, so don't skip it please.

  3. When the machine boots back to the desktop, run the install_flash_player.exe file, but do not open Firefox.

  4. Providing the installation completes successfully, start Firefox and go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ You should be able to see the Flash animation which confirms it's been installed properly.

If the problem persists, it might be due to malware. To eliminate that as the culprit, please download the free version of Malwarebytes from http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free and run a full system scan.
