Whenever I reboot my computer, I am required to reinstall Flash in order to view flash websites unless I right-click and run the program as an Administrator, in which case flash works just fine. I am already using an account with Administrator rights and privileges. I am using Windows 7. I have tried reinstalling everything from Firefox to flash and nothing works.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I rebooted the computer.

I have found a solution that worked for me. I am running Windows 7 64 bit. If you are running 32 bit the registry path may be different. Open the registry editor and go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\MozillaPlugins. Then right click on "@adobe.com/Flashplayer" and click on permissions. If is it like mine then you will see the users SYSTEM, Administrators (ComputerName\Administrators) ,and then an unknown user with random numbers. Remove the unknown user and then add the local machines users group (ComputerName\Users). Give that user Read permissions and then click OK. If flash is already installed you should just need to restart Firefox and it should work right away. Hope this helps someone.
