If I have plugins already installed, then switch to Firefox, do I need to download plugins for FF in order to use Adobe, Picasa, itunes, etc?

I am switching to Firefox today from Windows Explorer. On my computer I have programs such as itunes, Picasa, Adobe, Java. Do I need to download plugins of these programs specifically for Firefox?
Also, I have been using Windows Security Essentials for my computer. Can I still use that? Does Firefox provide security such as a firewall, virus protection and automatic updates? If I need to make a change, what do you recommend?
Many thanks for your time and attention.

The programs that you mention likely have a plugin for Firefox, so you do not need to take action other than to check on "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" if the plugin in detected and set to "Ask to Activate" or "Always Activate"
Your System Details List shows these among others:
# Next Generation Java Plug-in 10.55.2 for Mozilla browsers
# iTunes Detector Plug-in
# 5.1.30214.0 (Silverlight)
# Picasa plugin
# Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.06
You are only missing the Shockwave Flash plugin for Firefox.
Firefox uses a different (NPAPI) Flash plugin than IE (ActiveX), so make sure to install the Flash Player plugin for Firefox.
You can find links to the latest Shockwave Flash player on this page:

In case you have problems with Flash, see Troubleshooting:
