Is there any other flashplayer besides Adobe's that Firefox can use?
Running Windows XP,Firefox 29.0, and Adobe Flashplayer 13. Computer acknowledges install but won't display player. It shows itself for a few seconds and then the black window disappears and nothing else happens. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, tried stand alone installer, everything that I've seen suggested. Is there some kind of block or timeout mechanism I'm missing?

In case one of your extensions is interfering, could you test Flash in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
- "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
- Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
(Flash and other plugins still run)
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Reset).
Any difference?
By the way, there is a long term effort underway to obsolete the Flash plugin, but I suspect it might not yet be reliable enough for daily use. http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/
The System Details list shows that Firefox sees issues with the graphics display driver and disables some features because of this. You might be out of luck with your graphics display if there isn't an update available.
Shumway likely still needs a long way to go. Note that the current Nightly builds come with a development version of Shumway that is still preffed off (shumway.disabled=true)
Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search. I remember once I saw an add-on that replaces the need for players, but I don't remember the name.
