How do I get Flash on Firefox running on 64 bit Windows 7
I have a 64 bit version of Windows 7, but flash does not work on Firefox. I understand that Flash isn't compatible with 64 bit OS's, but supposedly it does work on 32 bit browsers, but I can't seem to get it to install and work.

Hello.
See this article. I hope it helps:

I think that, if you are using a 64-bit version of Firefox, you need to use 64-bit plugins... But I'm not sure. If you need support for Flash, you should contact Adobe.
Your above posted plugins list shows two Flash plugins:
# Shockwave Flash 5.0 r41 # Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
You need to remove the old Flash 5.0 r41 version, probably installed in the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder. C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\NPSWF32.DLL See also Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems and Install the Flash plugin to view videos, animations and games
You also have an old Shockwave for Director plugin that you also need to update.
# Macromedia Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 8.5
I was able to get the problem fixed soon after posting. I'm not sure what the issue was. It probably was just a hiccup in the system someplace.
thanks
I had the same problem and got the solution by posting a question on the Adobe forums page. Go to http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe . Then install it. It works for Firefox 32-bit version. Do not use the 64-bit version.
