Hello, I've downloaded the new FireFox 6, and now I have no more Adobe Flash. I've tried to download it several times but it does not work with FireFox. I've tried turning off my anti-virus and firewall before download, but nothing works. I do have flash with Expolrer though. Whats the problem?

There are two different versions of Flash. One for IE (the ActiveX version) and another for other browsers (the Plugin version).

You need to install the correct version for Firefox.

1.Download the Flash setup file from here:
Adobe Flash - Plugin version.
Save it to your Desktop.

2. Close Firefox using File > Exit
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure firefox.exe is closed,
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}

3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

  • On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).
