I have downloaded Flash Player (the version required for Firefox) but I cannot find the plugin in the list of settings (the add-ons manager) in order to activate it. I've tried so many names in the search bar of this setting : flash player, shockwave flash... but I found none of them. However, I had no problem while activating the plugin in google chrome. What can I do ? Maybe Firefox can't figure out that I have downloaded Flash Player ?

On the left side of the page, select Plugins. Make sure the ones you want to use are set to Ask or Allow. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Go to the web page. Once the page is loading, mouse to the address bar and Left-click the icon. Select Permissions. In the menu, Make sure the ones you want to use are set to Ask or Allow.
Do you see the Shockwave Flash plugin on the about:plugins page?
You can open "about:" pages via the location/address bar
If that isn't the case then you may not have the required Windows Registry keys that Firefox uses to find the Flash plugin.
Try to uninstall Flash and reinstall Flash as administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).
See this about uninstalling Flash players:
Note that this will remove all installed Flash players.
