^on above page Firefox uses the Plugin based version while IE uses the Internet Explorer (ActiveX) version.

Make sure Firefox is closed first when you install the Flash Player plugin.

After I went to the download adobe flash player page I began the process. Then on step 2 I had to go into my download folder where I located flashplayer20 I double clicked as I was told to do and it did not download. Then I right clicked on flashplayer 20 and a grey box popped up with properties at the bottom of the list. I had to go in it to unblock flashplayer and apply it.

Now I'll see if it works.

Note that on YouTube Firefox uses the HTML5 media player and thus doesn't require a plugin like Flash to play the videos.

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