You have the flash plug-in and should update it. No ideal what the message is about storage, do you mean install. Copying the exact message would help, especially in the world of PCs where message numbers are hardly ever used.

Check for Flash updates to see if you really are current

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 and check that it finished via the Windows Task Manager -- if it is still running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu.
  3. 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.
