I'm trying to install Flash Player_10_plugin. Since ever since I 'upgraded' to the latest flash version it crashes too much. I downloaded the file, but when I try to download it, a pop up says that I can't; that I should download the latest version, which is exactly what I don't want. And yes, I've read some instructions, tips on here but none have helped. Any ideas or suggestions? Thank you.

That message isn't from Firefox, but rather from Adobe.

Un-install your current version of Flash before installing that older version.

Uninstall the 11.3 first, with uninstaller program from Adobe :

Uninstall Flash 11.3

then follow the directions : Install Flash 10.3 or 11.2

Thank you, I did. I downloaded the uninstaller, and ran it, but it's still giving me that message. So now, not sure what version of Flash I have, as I'm able to watch content on sites like youtube.
