Try this page to test you version Flash (I don't think you have it installed), and the page will provide you with a link to install the latest version. 

 Adobe - Flash Player
 http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

I don't think that page will try to install additional software that you did not ask for (crapware), but read carefully anything that you checkmark (on or off) and that you agree to. Adobe in notorious for installing additional crapware.

During the installation you may be asked to close Firefox (Alt+F > Exit) verify in the Windows Task Manager that Firefox is actually closed.
