How to Install Adobe Flash Player in Mozilla Firefox
Adobe's Flash plug-in allows Web developers to create games, media and applications without needing to worry about the hardware configurations of individual computers. Flash also prevents the end user -- you -- from worrying about memory size and other hardware. If your computer meets the requirements to run Flash, it meets the requirements to run all of its media applications. Firefox doesn't include Flash in its basic setup, but the Web browser prompts you to install the application as soon as you access a website that requires it.
