by installing from within Firefox, Internet Explorer has its own version (Active-X).

Make sure you are starting in the correct place for Flash

If you want to read PDF files in you browser, you might also want

After the download,

  1. bring up the download manager ("Ctrl+J") and start your installs. As soon as the install comes up,
  2. close Firefox with File > Exit or "Firefox" button > Exit. Give Firefox some time to close.
  3. If install does not proceed, terminate "firefox.exe" and "plugin-container.exe" from the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
    • Windows 7 shortcut to the WTM is "Ctrl+Shift+Esc"
    • or on any Windows system from "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then choose Windows Task Manager.
    • Make sure that "firefox.exe" is no longer running -- if it is still running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu, and do the same for "plugin-container.exe" if it is found there.
  4. proceed with the install.

Warning: this is the Adobe site and they have chosen to to provide crapware along with their own product. Only install the product you were planning to install. Do not install additional products: including -- "Free! McAfee Security Scan Plus" or "Google Chrome". Installing Google Chrome on your own and installing it because it is offered on the Adobe site are two different things.

Find updates for your installed plugins at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ mozilla.com/plugincheck -- best to use Adobe's site to really see if their plug-ins are up to date.

Please fix your caps lock or read what you type, do you think anybody could read my answer if I typed in all caps.

If the above fails to correct the problem, I would try uninstalling Adobe Flash from your system entirely first, from the control panel then "Programs and Features".

If you have problems with reading lowercase text then look at the NoSquint extension.

You can use the NoSquint extension to set font sizes (text/page zoom) and text colors on web pages.

You may have to run the Flash installer as Administrator. Right-click the downloaded EXE file and choose Run as Administrator
