I want to install a free flash player but Adobe won't work until I "allow" it to access the web. I can't find a "yellow tool bar and edit options" as per instructions, to do this. also I read that Adobe causes problems with Firefox. Any flash player will do. Any ideas? Thanks. burtonsaccount

This happened

Not sure how often

== today

Those "yellow bar" instructions are for older versions of Firefox, that ain't correct for current versions of 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,

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

  • 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).
