Moreover, I think the OP was asking how to only have express install prompt for 
upgrades for FF users, correct?

To do that, you need to do a little more with the API....

There's a swfobject.ua object (assuming you are using v2.2) that exposes 
properties like which browser. Check the API documentation for details.

So, basically, using that, you can construct an if-statement about only doing 
things in FF.

Then, you can use the API function hasFlashPlayerVersion() and if it isn't at 
least 10.0.32 (and the FF check passed), you can use the showExpressInstall() 
API function.

The documentation is your friend:

You cannot "force" a user to upgrade (you are not Microsoft or Apple :) 


What you can do is put the required Flash player version to 10.0.32 on your 
page, and user with a Flash player 6.0.65 goes to your page ( ExpressInstall 
only works with user who already have 6.0.65+)


If you are having performance issues, I would suggest rather than forcing every 
user to upgrade, you might want to debug/profile your project to see what the 
bottleneck actually is.

  I'm having a serious performance issue with a large flash project and
  10.0.22 and only in Firefox 3.5+.  It works fine all other browsers,
  and when I upgrade to 10.0.32 it works fine in Firefox.

  I'd like to force users with 10.0.22 on Firefox to update to 10.0.32.
