FlashPlayer downloading problem

I have tried three times to update my Flashplayer, but each time I try downloading I only get through the first two steps. The third step presents me with an opportunity to also install another program, relating to Photoshop and one other program, at a cost of $9.99 per month, which I do not need and want to decline. But there is no "No thank you" or other decline button. And try as I have (three times), there is no concluding page that confirms the download was (or was not) successful.
My Macbook Pro has OS 10.6.8 and the browser I use most is Safari 5.1.10. I also have Firefox and Google Chrome.
I just checked my Mac and am told by it that all my software is up-to-date.
Yet when I try to view a YouTube file, and other files requiring FlashPlayer, I keep getting advised I need to update FP.
How do I decline the Photoshop/etc.offer and pass ahead onto Step 3, Download?
Many thanks.
RBM

thanks for putting it so succinctly, I'm waiting patiently for someone to reply to you with an answer. I am having the same problem, same Os , same safari version.
(Gmail recently tells me this version of safari is no longer supported,however it is , in that i have no problem with getting emails. That notification coincided with this update of flash player )
. I updated flash player because of the sudden notifications from you tube and face book videos that i needed an update. it worked briefly- then not
i have uninstalled it once and reinstalled it , that worked for that one time and now is back to not working again
i have been trying to sort this out with limited knowledge of this stuff, made sure java script is enabled etc, can't find a problem with safari even though gmail thinks so, meanwhile frequent notifications that i need to update flash player when i thought I'd already done that, twice.
thanks for any advice in advance

Flashplayer download problem

I tried downloading the flash player more than 5 times today. I used the uninstaller from adobe site to uninstall all previous versions after I was unsuccessful around the 4 time. I followed all that I was instructed to do, yet I'm still getting the message "cannot contact reliable source" when the download reach 49%. What is wrong and how do I install the flashplayer on my HP lap top computer.

What is your operating system & version?
What is your web browser?

Firefox and PDF download problems -- hanging and failures

I am working in Windows XP and Firefox 12.0.
We post our multi-page newsletter to our website in PDF, and then use a list to send a link to access it. When attempting to download using Firefox, the document will download all or part of the first page, and then hang -- sometimes in perpetuity, and sometimes with infinitesimally slow progress.
It works just fine in Google Chrome.
I tried disabling all of my plug-ins, including Adobe Acrobat (9.5.1.283). I left them all disabled, but re-enabled Adobe. No joy.
I disabled Adobe and tried a straight-up download, then open with my local reader. No joy.
What is going on, and how can I fix it?
My Acrobat 9 Standard is 9.5.1 that I'm using to create the document in the first place.
What can I do to fix MY system to get it to download and, more importantly, what information can I give our members to use so that they can successfully download it?

I personally open PDFs in the stand-alone Adobe Reader rather than in the browser, but everyone has their own preference.
Have you experimented with Firefox's application tab settings?
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box on that tab, type pdf and pause for the list to be filtered. You should be able to toggle between viewing the PDF in the browser or launching it externally. I have mine set to "Always Ask."
Generally speaking, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
If you host the PDFs on a site you can't actually visit, access the View Cookies dialog from this page and change the host name at the top of the box to the correct host name to access the relevant cookies.
Then try downloading again. Does that help?

Firefox downloads "failed". Have reset FF, been through "downloading problems" trouble doc, and uninstalled/reinstalled FF w/o luck. Safari is able to download.

Recently I am unable to download anything in FF. It briefly acts as if downloading, but the file is corrupted and the next to the file in the DL manager it just says "Failed".
I tried Resetting FF. No luck.
Then I tried all the steps in the "downloading problems" support doc. No luck.
I tried with all add-ons disabled. No luck.
In desperation, I searched for "Firefox" and moved two folders called Firefox, the application, and a .plist file to the trash (still there) and redownloaded Firefox and reinstalled. No luck.
If I click on a .pdf it will be be viewable, but it won't download. It's not just .pdfs that fail, it is any file I try and download.

I have the same problem and I also tried a lot of troubleshooting advices without any success.
The problem seems to be with OS X Parental Control turned on and using a other account than the one of the admin.
The user sl-nw found a short-term solutions (changing back to version 31, working like a charm or turning off Parental Control), yet a long-term solution is needed:

Perhaps Firefox should add a bug fix to their next update.

Problems unzipping files downloaded from Firefox using Windows built-in extractor tool

Hi,
I am running Firefox v26 on a Windows 7 (64-bit) PC. I work for a library that is able to reproduce digital audio books that we can download from the Library of Congress's National Library Service (NLS) for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. I use Firefox to download a lot of zipped audio books for my job. The file formats found in one book's zipped folder often include the following file types: .3gp (they're like a more compressed MP3 audio file), .mp3, .ncx, .opf, .pncx, .ppf, .smil, .md5, .dtd, .ent, and .ao.
If I use Windows' built-in extraction tool to unzip an audio book I have downloaded via Firefox the extraction process ends prematurely and acts as if it was successful, but in reality some files are were never extracted. For example, I downloaded a zipped audio book that contained 21 files and weighed in at 87.6MB. The built-in Windows extraction tool only unzipped 2 files weighing in at 30.3MB.
I have downloaded this same zipped audio book using Google's Chrome v31 and IE 11. Both downloads unzipped successfully using Windows' extractor. To make things even more bizarre, I *was* able to successfully unzip my audio book that I downloaded using Firefox using a 3rd party extraction tool called Extract Now. Because I tend to use this 3rd party program to extract my audio files I don't know at which version of Firefox this problem started. All I know if that this hasn't always been the case.
Please help.
Thanks,
-Dan M.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps with extracting files.

When on Facebook (for example), Firefox is not allowing me to open pictures; when using apps, the bottom of the screen is missing so cannot utilize the apps. All working on Safari; just downloaded new Firefox 4, so seems to be a problem with this version?

In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
*There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
*If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
*You can make the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window
It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.

Mozilla Firefox download problem

Hey i use windows xp 32 bit service pack 2 . I tried to download mozilla firefox from internet but was unable to do . I used to get error Unable to Find network what is problem please reply

If downloads hang at the last minute (just before reaching 100%), the cause might be antivirus software which tries to scan the file and during that process hangs the Firefox instance.
In order to fix the problem, try disabling the scanning as follows:
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page. A list of settings should appear
# Filter the list by typing in the search bar at the top. Type in ''scanWhenDone''. '''You should now find the "browser.download.scanWhenDone" preference'''.
#Double-click on that preference to set the value to ''false''.
#Next, try to download something and see if it still hangs.
Please reply and tell us whether this helped you!

Firefox links/javascript doesn't work at all on OS 10.5.8

Hi, I have downloaded new Firefox 3.6 for my OS 5.8 (previous version was running fine) and it doesn't work at all. Links do not work, address bar does not open sites, period. I deleted the previous version and now I am stuck-I can't find it anywhere, and I want to get rid of this "upgrade". Safari works fine with my system. It looks like the javascript problem...what to do?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed new Firefox ==
== User Agent ==

Flashplayer installation problem

Using Win 7 64 and Firefox. Don't have latest Flashplayer. When I try to install latest version Flashplayer, exe screen opens but is totally black. Can't complete installation.
Anyone able to help?

Your post is helpful inasfar as I can download Flashplayer, but...
The problem I am having is that Firefox wants the latest version to show vids embedded in websites.
I learned from elsewhere on this forum (FLASHPLAYER PROBLEM) that the latest version of Flashplayer has problems with Firefox. And, though some say I need the latest version of RealPlayer to work, that hasn't worked for me.
It seems either Firefox needs to upgrade, or Adobe needs to work with Firefox to resolve.
But, it seems more like Adobe as now I'm finding the most recent Skype install won't work as it's linked to the latest Flashplayer.
If you can come up with solutions, that'd be great.
Cheers

Downloads in Firefox are slower than in other applications

Downloads in Firefox always seemed to be lightning quick. Now a 84 MB file is taking over 30 minutes to download.
Any thoughts?

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

I'm trying to download Firefox 4, but the following message comes up: Downloading/Volumes/firefox/o5we?qDe.part.part could not be saved, because an unknown error has occurred. Try saving to different location. What does this mean?

When trying to download to download Firefox 4, the following message comes up: Downloading/Volumes/Firefox/05weDe.part. could not be saved because of an unknown error. Try saving to a different location. I have a Mac OS X Version 10.4.10. I think I should be able to download Firefox 4. I have Firefox Version 3.6 now.

I am often getting this kind of error, although I believe it's less frequent with Firefox 4 than with the previous version. I do not know a proper solution, but I have noticed this:
* If I simply try to re-download, it will fail again.
* If I clear the list in the download window, I can download the same file without any trouble.
I believe the problem may be related to the antivirus software. The file is downloaded completely, and instead of moving it to the final position Firefox gets confused and deletes it.

After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop I restarted the computer, but I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a Secret Password. How do I set up the account if the prompt never show up?

Several months ago I installed the Firefox Home app on my iPhone to sync the bookmarks that I had on my Windows XP home computer. It has worked just fine until a few days ago. Just recently I was notified that the app would no longer work because of changes that have been made. I have tried to follow the instructions that were emailed to me regarding how to setup the new Firefox Sync add-on, but I am having a problem. After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop and restarting my computer, I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a password and a secret phrase, as the instructions specify. How do I set up the account if the prompt never shows up?

Click on the Firefox button then select Options to open the Options dialog. Now go to the Sync panel for the option to setup a new account.

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
