Adobe website check page asking for missing plugin after installing into Windows 7. I have used Adobe uninstallers and repeated the whole process several times. Firefox has not accepted/taken the plugin at all. Only help appears for older Adobe Flash.

No. That is not the current version. I clicked on your link and it tells me it is not the current version. Should I be installing the version you mention?

ALSO - I noticed when I installed again (after uninstalling with Adobe uninstaller) that the Adobe installation page for it's latest version I mentioned in my original question finished to "Done". In the background another window was opened for Firefox plugin installation - it is hanging during the plugin installation and does not complete. I tested this again - there appears to be a problem with FIREFOX processing the latest plugin.

Should I be using the older plugin that you link to?

Many thanks for helping.

This is what I am installing: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=ISMRZ without the McAfee.

For whatever reason that download didn't direct to the latest :/ Here is another one, go ahead and give it a shot. http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe

Thanks - tried your link. Went to YouTube to test - still looking for latest plugin which I've done numerous times now. Everything was great until I upgraded Firefox.

This is frustrating. In the meantime I'll have to use another browser to do what I need to do. Still hoping for a resolution to this.

I've been trying to find a solution to the same problem for several hours now. I restarted my computer this morning, as it was running a bit slugglish. The restart seemed to initiate both a Firefox update and a Flash update to the latest versions. I've uninstalled Flash several times with the Flash uninstaller. I've even down-graded to 10.3. Same result. Firefox simply isn't recognizing the install. Whether it's 10.3 or the latest 11.4, it doesn't exist in the Add-ons manager. I've installed the latest real Player as well, in case it had something to do with the issue. No apparent connection.

Any ideas?
