    Start the installer, close your browser(s) and it should auto-complete.

    64-bit version - do you have a 64-bit version of FX?

    Only a single instance ... does that not give you a clue ^^ ?

    Firefox is a 32 bit browser. You use the 32 bit plugin.
    On my 64 bit Windows 7, I installed the 32 bit plugins for FF and IE 9 (I use the 32 bit version of IE too).

    What!? Why are you suddenly running reg 'fixing' software? Stop it!

    Get back to basics - Windows version and bit-ness? (x86 or x64)
