I can't get the new flash update... FF says i need a plugin to get the download, and when i get it (gp.xpi), i can't install it. what should I do?
I've followed the instructions on the flash website, but i can't even get the flash file to download. the file that i get is supposed to be asociated with FF, that's why im contacting you guys. is there other way i can manually allow adobe to install flash without using their website directly?

I had that problem myself and was forced to download the installer for "other browsers" using Internet Explorer at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ . After I did that it installed correctly. You can also try downloading the FULL installers for flash at http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html . Just make sure that all browser windows are closed before you run either of these.

Further to the answer by Nodnarbius, try the manual installers for Flash as detailed in Adobe's knowledge base - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
thank you Nodnarbius! I did it with iexplorer and it installed correctly at once :)
