the reason for this is that firefox downloads and uses a different version
of the flashplayer that is made especially for firefox.
However in order to view flash in Inernet explorer and msn messenger, you
have to install the ACTIVE X version of flash player..
and you must do that using internet explorer and not firefox.
So open internet explorer and go here to install the activeX version
of the flash player..
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
IF this does not work, please download the installer for flash..
download this and install it
http://fileho.com/download/594124289...ive-x.msi.html
if the first way does not work, the second download will solve your problem
for sure...
