I never tried to play a flash movie like this in Firefox before today & when I did, it told me to install Adobe Flash, so I don't know if that's a new thing or that's what now happens if you use Firefox.

For some reason, I thought this whole flash thing was about ads/vids that automatically played when you went to the page? Am I wrong?

There are separate Flash Installs for IE and Firefox. The IE version uses ActiveX, which of course Firefox does not. To get the latest version go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ It detects which browser you are using and links to the matching installer. If you use more than one browser, do the install from each one.
