When I go into Faebook in Firefox and try to play a video, it keeps telling me I need to download Adobe Flash Player (even though it's already downloaded and works on Internet Explorer).

Chosen solution

IE on Windows 7 uses a ActiveX version of Flash Player. Web browsers like Firefox uses npapi plugins.

Make sure Firefox is closed when you install Flash Player.
