One of which is to go the the Firefox add-ons page where an Adobe Flash Player is listed. Seems there's all kinds of methods listed. Now as I write this, I can't even remember how I ended up getting Flash installed on Firefox. Much of what I found told me that people were having all kinds of problems. But before I did, I did some searches about Firefox and Adobe Flash.
#Firefox flash plugin missing install#
Then when I clicked "install plugin" it said that the install was unsuccessful an that I would have to install it manually. I've also never been sure that any of these files or the updates you get from them have anything to do with Firefox.Īnyway, after I installed Firefox, I received that drop-down message about installing the missing Flash plug-in. I've updated FlashUtil9f before, but can't remember if I've ever updated NPSWF32_FlashUtil. I'm assuming NPSWF32_FlashUtil may be for Shockwave Player too. Inside Flash are all kinds of files, including two that you can update, FlashUtil9f, which according to is for Shockwave Player and NPSWF32_FlashUtil, which is actually an exe.

During that installation, it installed all of its files in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash. That was before I had a chance to install Firefox. So now I'm a little confused! My initial Flash install was for Internet Explorer 7. You will need to install Flash Player separately".

During that time, I've installed two of the more important plugins manually, Shockwave Flash and the Windows Media Player plug-in.Īs far as the Shockwave Flash, I've always had a question about it First, Is it the same thing as Adobe Flash? According to the FAQ on, it is not. I have Vista Home Basic 圆4 and Firefox 3.02 for about two months.
