3. Restart your Mac. Do not restart Firefox – if Firefox restarts on its own, shut it down.
4. Open Safari.
5. In Safari download a fresh version of the Adobe Flash installer here. This may be the same place you got it from before, that is fine.
6. Run the Adobe Flash installer with Safari open, and Firefox not open.
7. Enjoy the fact that the Flash installer completes the install and doesn’t hang at 90%.
Once the install is complete, you can open Firefox and it will use the new Flash version.

Thanx
Just run the application installer as a root user with commend sudo using terminal. It works.
Great advice. It works perfectly this way, thanks!
