After installing Firefox I was prompted to update Adobe, but the instructions call for me to accomplish things by using tabs which aren't present.

Firefox said that the Adobe instructions are outdated, but I still cannot locate the tab which I am told to use.

Let's assume you start here:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Then uncheck the McAfee box and click Agree and Install Now.
Do you get a yellow infobar, just below the location bar, that requires you to approve the installation? If you allow that, you get an add-on from Adobe, which is an installer that then grabs the Flash player.
Does that make sense?
Edit: This is a direct download link I found some time back. Because you should always be very, very suspicious of direct links to EXE files on the web, make sure to scan any download before running it. In other words, do not choose OPEN, only SAVE, and then check it for safety.

    I purchased and downloaded Lightroom 5.5. After installing it, I was prompted for the serial number. When I entered it an error message appeared saying it was an upgrade serial number and I need to enter my original purchase number. This was my original purchase, not an upgrade. Now what do I do?

    It sounds like you bought an upgrade from Adobe. How much did you pay? The upgrade is about $80, and the non-upgrade is about $150. If you bought an upgrade version and had no previous version, you would see what you're seeing.
    If that is the case and I were you, I'd call Adobe, and arrange for a refund and to order the correct version.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

    trying to download and install CS6 on CC and it won't take the serial number for my Mac

    Cloud products don't use serial numbers. That includes downloading CS6 through the Cloud (if that is what you're doing). Hence Ned's query.

  • HT201380 Yesterday this was automatically installed.  Today I can't access a document in Pages.  A prompt says I need a Pages update.  But the next screen tests for updates and informs me everything is up to date.  What's up?

    Yesterday this was automatically installed.  Today I can't access a document in Pages.  A prompt says I need a Pages update.  But the next screen tests for updates and informs me everything is up to date.  What's up?

    It's highly unlikely that the Pages update problem has anything to do with the ARD client update, since the client is not involved in any way with Software Update. I'd suggest asking for assistance with the update problem in the forum appropriate for your version of Mac OS X.
    Regards.

  • He latest version of Firefox is incompatible with my Mac. Where can I go to download an earlier version as I deleted the old one when I was prompted to update I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 Dual 2.3 GHz Power PC G5

    The latest version of Firefox is incompatible with my Mac. Where can I go to download a later version than 3. I was able to download an earlier version in order to get working on Firefox. Unfortunately, I had deleted the old one when I was prompted to update
    I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 Dual 2.3 GHz Power PC G5

    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4 / 5 / 6, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

  • After installing Firefox 5, why, after closing and reopening the programme, do I seem to have lost most of the new features?

    After installing Firefox 5, replacing my previous version (4.5), I could see the new features. However, having closed and reopened Firefox, it seems as though it has reverted to the previous version, even though 'Help - About' says I'm running on version 5.0.
    I had to download 5.0 from the Mozilla website, as I tried to update via the update tool in 4.5, but it claimed I was fully up to date, even though I have 5.0 on another machine (which works perfectly).

    Can you please describe the "new features" that you saw first time you opened Firefox 5?
    Thank you.

  • Must restart after installing firefox and kde...WHY????

    Every time I set up an arch box, when I install firefox or kde (probably others) I must restart the computer before I can even execute them. This is mighty inconvenient and un-linux-like, I noticed that during the bootup, the Updating Shared Library Links takes a little longer after installing firefox or kde, is there a command I can run that does this after installing firefox or kde that dosen't require me to restart?

    phrakture wrote:You can also just "source /etc/profile" - but that won't help your window manager or anything
    I wish pacman or the .install files would check to see if /opt/foo, the path that the package was just installed to, is in $PATH and automatically source /etc/profile if it's not. I swear this is a top 10 question from users and rightfully so, they shouldn't have to deal with this. In my humble opinion.
    I'm pretty sure most do - however, that only sources it for root, not the user running - I have no idea, off the top of my head, if this works correctly under sudo.
    However, the important part is that your WM/DE is running under a totally different environment setup, and the 'export' stuff does not reach it.
    I can't really think of a good way to get around it - I know it's rather irritating to some people.  I wonder if adding something like "/opt/*/bin" to the PATH by default would work... I don't think it globs properly though...

  • HT5624 I was prompted to update to ios7 so I did as usual. But this update has made my ipad a piece of junk. I am unable to access Siri, I can't read the faint print particularly those tiny letters on the top row which show the visited websites, etc.

    I updated to iOS 7  last might after being prompted by Apple. This caused me to lose many useful features of my iPad2. First I find that Siri has disappeared. When I contacted Apple support, the guy who took my serial # and model # verified things on his end and said emphatically that I should have Siri, but could't help me find it. Another rep simply disconnected me after seeing that she was unable to help me with the problems. After wasting hours with these people and waiting several minutes for their promised supervisor to come online, I was again disconnected by them. My second major problem I wanted solved was the hard to read fine and faint print. I don't have good eyes and with iOS 7 on my iPad2 I am now unable to read the top row which has the list of websites in avery faint and fine print. I could read everything on my iPad until yesterday evening when I made the mistake of updating to iOS7. Till yesterday evening I loved my iPad but after that update to iOS 7 last night it is a piece of junk for me. Hope there is help somewhere out there to restore  Siri and other useful features of iOS 6 or get iOS6 back on my ipad So I can use it again. The chat with apple support has not helped at all as they themselves did not know that Problems like the ones I mentioned to them even existed with this iOS 7. I want my iOS 6 back!!!! CAN ANY ONE HELP !!!!! Also how can I reach anyone in Apple who is knowledgable and also has some authority to do something about it.

    Outside of the contact number for that you've already used I don't know another way of direct contact. Here are some things that they may or may not of had you try that might help you. If you will go to the settings app and pick general on the right-hand side you will see accessibility. Within that you can adjust a text size make the text bowl you can also increase the contrast. You can also adjust the brightness and control panel.
    As for Siri again in the settings app under general you should see Siri on the right-hand side with the switch to turn it on. If that is turned on and you're still having issues
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?

    I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?
    In the former Firefox version there was a box to click for converting YouTube music videos into HQ mp3 files. That box is no longer apparent in the new Firefox version. I went back to Ad-On s and re-downloaded the program YouTube to MP3 1.2. It says it's not compatible with Firefox 6.0. Can I reinstall the older version of Firefox?

    When I clicked on the second site mentioned, I got such EXPLICIT, step-by-step directions!!! Thank you so much. I'd been wondering what that window was that kept popping up with the Firefox icon and that other funny thing. The word *install* was never mentioned. Pictographs were never my thing.
    When I looked under the initial system requirements, it said that OS X 10.4.5 and higher were good for 5.0. I didn't check further. Under your advice, I'll go with the older version. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

  • Certain websites media player wont work after installing Firefox V4

    After installing Firefox Version 4 the media player of certain website fails to start and stream normally. I have updated all the needed plugins and add ons and still have the same issue. I have created a Mozilla account and downloaded Spark and my Spark says invalid username or password when trying to login to Spark to start a chat session

    Thanks for the step-by-step. However, I'm having time-out
    issues when trying to download (step #1) anything from that server.
    The "file download" window opens, but the progress is so slow - it
    ends up timing out. Is anyone able to download any of those
    files?
