ADOBE FLASH PLAYER DOES NOT show up on add-ons and even though i install it on my computer it doesn't sync with Firefox to play movies
Vudu requires Adobe Flash Player for movies and gives me an error message saying that I need to update to the newest version and gives a link. When i follow the link and install the newest version I still get the same message. I checked add-ons Firefox and Adobe Flash Player doesn't show up as an available add-on or plug-in. What is the problem?

Hello,
Make sure you downloaded the right Flash Player as Firefox uses a different plugin than Internet Explorer (which uses ActiveX).
- (all installers) https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
- (automatically select the correct installer for you) https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
- Note that the link usually has an "Optional offer" for the McAfee toolbar in the middle pane - you can uncheck that box as it is not needed to use Flash.

This only gives me the same option and link that the error message from vudu gives. I still can't get the movies to play. could it have something to do with the movies being formatted in HDX?
Your system details list doesn't show that the Shockwave Flash plugin is installed and enabled.
If you have the Shockwave Flash plugin installed then make sure that it is enabled.
- Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins
You can check the version of the current Flash player here:
