I'm trying to play a game on facebook, but when I go to play it, it comes up with a message saying I need to install adobe flash player 12 or later. I installed version 15 but it still keeps getting that message to install version 12 or later. I checked in my control panel under programs installed and it shows that adobe flash player 15 active x listed. So why won't the game see it? Do I need an older version of adobe flash? Maybe version 12, if so where can I find it. I tried to find 12 but every site keeps taking me to 15. I have Windows Vista Home Premium OS. I have Firefox version 32.

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Firefox uses a different (NPAPI) Flash plugin than IE (ActiveX), so make sure to install the Flash Player plugin for Firefox. Your system details list with the installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.

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

Hello,

You might not have the plugin for Firefox installed. Adobe has two different versions of Flash - one for Internet Explorer and another for Firefox. Internet Explorer uses ActiveX. You can check if Firefox has the plugin by going to:

  • Tools > Add-ons > Plugins, or
  • [Image: New Fx Menu] > Add-ons > Plugins

In Firefox, go to this link and Adobe should give you right correct installer:

If for whatever reason it is not choosing the correct OS for you, you can manually select Windows Vista and "Other Browsers" here:
