How do I get Flashplayer on Mozilla over preloaded Explorer version?

My new (11/2014) PC came with Internet Explorer pre-loaded. I set up Mozilla as my preferred homevbase and then tried to install Adobe Flashplayer. After failing I found that it is already installed as part of the Exporer pre-load. However, I cannot use Flashplayer via Mozilla: it seems it is only available via Explorer. But, clearly, I don't want to use Explorer (I don't trust it).
How can I get Flashplayer to work on Mozilla as well as, or instead of Explorer, please?

<blockquote>
Flash does come in two flavours.
Go here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
...and get the latest two versions for IE-type browsers and Firefox (plugin)-type ones.
The .msi installers are best because Windows automatically makes a Restore Point before installing a program. A simple safety precaution.

Hi PhredE
Thanks for that. All was going well until the install stage: when I got a Black Box message "Error 1722. There is a problem witth this Windows Installer Package".
I then tried various ways to solve/get round this problem (from Windows Support and elsewhere) but still no joy.
I have Windows 8 loaded and have tried to update to 8.1: again to no avail. But that's another problem.
Any ideas, please on how to get past the Error 1722 problem?

how do i get firebug in mozilla 6.0.2 version?

Firebug 1.8.3 works with Firefox 6.0.*
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/versions/
Version 1.8.1b2, 1.8.1, 1.8.2 was compatible with 6.0.* also but the 1.8.3 is up to date on fixes. http://blog.getfirebug.com/2011/09/16/firebug-1-8-3/
Also this is one of those few Extensions that users tend to disable on purpose and then enable it when they want to use it as it can cause excessive cpu and memory usage.

I was still typing my first post while you had already responded.
Maybe I am taking your last post the wrong way but reread your post. If I am taking it the wrong way - please accept my apology in advance.

Where do you state that you need to email the files to someone else?
Where do you state that you need to edit them?
This was my response ....
You can't edit any of these files without a compatible iPad app like Documents to Go (Excel, Word) or Pages (Word files).
You can open and view the files as mail attachments but you will not be able to edit them. Explain exactly what you are doing and maybe you can get meaningful instructions.
Basically I said the same thing as Julian and I thought that maybe if you explained EXACTLY what you were trying to do, it would be helpful.
Sorry for not being a mind reader. Your second post ...
I thought I had already explained, I get excel spreadsheets emailed to me I need to open them, read them, edit them and send them on to another person,
That is not what you asked the first time around.

How do I install LabVIEW 6.0 over the evaluation version? I can't un-install the evaluation version.

I get the message that another version of LabVIEW 6.0 is already installed and it won't let me install 6.0. How do I get rid of the evaluation version?

I don't have LabVIEW in my Add/Remove Programs. I may have at one time, but
can't remember. The removal must have been incomplete becasue LabVIEW 6.0
says "Another version of this produce is already installed." The same thing
happens if I try to reinstall the evaluation version.

How do i get icloud onto my mac os x version 10.6.3

how do I get icloud onto my mac os x version 10.6.3?

You need 10.7.5 or later for iCloud.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
B. Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Negative (to inline a letter or to thin it) offset path does not work in Illus-CC 2014 (when preview is on- nothing happens). How can I get this to work like in previous versions.

Negative (to inline a letter or to thin it) offset path does not work in Illus-CC 2014 (when preview is on- nothing happens). How can I get this to work like in previous versions.

Thanks for your quick reply. I tried a number of different values. Usually when I do a negative offset they're very small values, like -.25 or -.5.
An Update- I took the art work into Ai CS 6 and It still did not work, which is really strange. And I've used it hundreds of times with success in the past. Also I tried it with live type and outlines, ungrouped, un-compounded still could not get it to negative offset.
Thanks for the help.

I need to know if it's 64-bit or 32-bit.
If it's 64-bit, try copying the mms.cfg file from C:\WINDOWS\syswow64\Macromed\Flash to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash

How do I get to the Mozilla Plugin Check Page manually if a link is not available to click on?

In the past couple of weeks, I have had several instances of my Adobe Flash Plugin crashing. I am just figuring out that I need to keep my plugins updated. I can't figure out how to '''manually''' get to the plugin check page in order to determine the status of my third-party plugins. I have come across a link that says: visit Mozilla's '''Plugin Check''' page. But, being able to get there manually would be very helpful.
Thank you very much.

How do I get my old mozilla window back after the upgrade automatically changed it without asking me ?

What I would like is the screen/startup window I had in the version previous to this new upgraded window. The window that comes up when mozilla is started. I didn't want to upgrade, didn't get asked by mozilla and I was perfectly happy with mozilla having that nice orange tab where I coul find everything I needed, Also like the bookmarks organizer better with the old version.
Thanks hope I can get it back

My new virus program loaded into internet explorer, how do I get on my Mozilla too?

I have Explorer and Mozilla on my computer.
When I loaded a new virus program it went to the explorer
and not Mozilla.
I use Mozilla and only use Explorer as a back up if Mozilla is down.
If I can not have the virus program on both how do I move it to Mozilla. It is on the explorer program now.

The post where I found the links is from Thursday, June 30, 2011. The links were attached to the word '''Flint''' in first paragraph, the name '''Elizabeth''' in the last paragraph and also the word '''surprise''' in the last paragraph.
Earlier, I only noticed the word surprise in a different line was highlighted. I went into blog edit and removed and replaced the word with something else when I couldn't get rid of the link. When I went back to view the blog these other words were highlighted.
Is it possible this is only visible on my computer??

How do you get your contacts moved over to your iphone4?

i just got my new iphone 4 and i had a droid 2 before i cant seem to get my contacts moved over. so is there a easy way to get them on there?

Are the contacts stored on the SIM card on your droid or synced to your Google account?
If they are on the SIM card, you're kinda out of luck as the Droid and iPhone use two different types of SIM cards.
If they are synced with your Google account, simply set up the Google account on the iPhone and sync the contacts.
The User's Guide for the iPhone would also be a good resource to browse.

How can I get Adobe to take over my computer to help with lost photos?

I have lost photos going from PC to Mac in Lightroom. Have tried all the standard stuff. How do I get Adobe to log into my computer remotely to help?

Adobe Support is for problems installing and licensing their software on your computer, not to fix something you’ve done by mistake, unless you pay for their support which will likely cost quite a bit.
If you can describe your issue here in more detail perhaps a forum user can help you.
