I'm trying to download Adobe Flash Player, but the yellow bar with the 'Allow' button doesn't come up, so the programme is being blocked, giving me no ability to unblock it.

A bar is supposed to come up, when I'm trying to download Adobe Flash Player. The bar is supposed to have an option to 'Allow' the download. The programme is being blocked and is not downloading, but the bar doesn't come up, so I'm unable to enable its download.

The instructions you are referring to are out of date and not the ideal way to install / update Flash.

Instead:

  1. Download (save to your desktop) http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
  2. Download http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
  3. Close Firefox
  4. Run uninstall_flash_player.exe, click through to uninstall any old versions of Flash
  5. Run install_flash_player.exe to install Flash.
