I have tried to download and install adobe ten but it says firefox is a conflicting application and wont install it, any ideas?

Adobe 10 will work ok in internet explora but wont run in firefox. It tells me to close firefox down as its a conflicting application, whats going on?

There are two version of Flash, one for IE ''(ActiveX)'' and another for other browsers (Plugin). Adobe's setup routine needs Firefox to be closed so the installation can proceed.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
Save it to your Desktop.<br />
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />
