No yellow bar comes up when trying to allow adobe flash reader so how do I allow the program to be downloaded?
The instructions for downloading Adobe flash reader state that a yellow bar will appear int he tool bars and just click allow. No yellow bar appeared so I could not figure out how to download the program. How do I allow the program to be downloaded?

exactly the same thing -- no yellow bar.
Same answer as before.
There is no yellow bar -- "The instructions on the Adobe site are out-of -date and do not apply to current versions of Firefox. Use the following instructions to install or update Adobe Flash. "
Follow the instructions given above for installing or updating Flash Player.
no yellow bar and it's apparent that I need to upgrade flash player as the games that use it are running extremely slow and it keeps crashing - but it tells me that there is an error in downloading updated version and to use the yellow bar to allow - I realize that the instructions on firefox state that this information supplied by Adobe is out of date but the instructions I keep finding on firefox all still pertain to having a yellow bar which I do not have
