How do I use Firefox to get Adobe Flash on my computer?

I am not computer savvy so please make this easy for me to do.

# Using Firefox go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and download the Flash setup file (install_flash_player.exe)
# Close Firefox
# Run the Flash setup file that you downloaded to install Flash

    How do I Close Firefox to install Adobe Flash Player?

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
    #'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.
    #Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    #Direct link ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''': http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

    You may need to update some plug-ins. Check your plug-ins and update as necessary:

  • Every time I update Firefox, I get Adobe Flash plugin errors

    I'm disgusted with Firefox and Adobe. Does anyone have a fix for the problem that Firefox causes every time I upgrade? (Win 7, 64 bit I think) ... I just tried to re-install v29 Firefox (which was the last version that worked) ... and got routed to something called Aurora install.
    I just want to use a reliable firefox. But whenever I upgrade Firefox, and repeatedly turn off ALL security features so that I can update Adobe flash -- nothing works. Once I get this solved, I'm turning off the Firefox update check option and continue to do all my secure stuff on Chrome! I used to be a huge fan of netscape ... but this is stupid beyond belief.
    Here's the error message I get:
    A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.
    Script: resource://gre/modules/addons/XPIProvider.jsm -> jar:file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Mozilla%20Firefox/browser/extensions/%7B82AF8DCA-6DE9-405D-BD5E-43525BDAD38A%7D.xpi!/bootstrap.js -> resource://gre/modules/commonjs/toolkit/loader.js -> resource://gre/modules/commonjs/sdk/loader/sandbox.js -> resource://skype_ff_extension-at-jetpack/skype_ff_extension/data/jquery-2.1.0.min.js:26

    ... me again ... no need to respond to this problem, I'm just not going to keep wasting time on this browser. Realistically, the posts all over the internet show that Mozilla hasn't bothered addressing this issue for YEARS, and I'm just not interested in wasting any more time or interest in hoping that they will get their act together.
    Good luck, former colleagues: I hope they treat you better in the future~!

  • How come it o hard to get adobe flash player to work on window 8.1?

    I have trouble with the Pleae install adobe flash player to view this vidio.  I get it to work for a while then it not working & i have to fiddle with it again?

    The problem ISN'T Flash Player, and it ISN'T Windows 8.1 (not completely anyway).
    It's that abomination they call a browser. Internet Exploder 11, which installs by default if you upgrade from Windows 8, and is forced down your throat if you're gullible enough to buy a new PC with 8.1 on it.
    Sites and pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon. They refuse to admit their garbage is garbage.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • How can I use MapQuest API in Adobe Flash CC?

    Hi all,
    Since Google Maps API will be deprecated in 3 months I'm trying to use MapQuest instead. (MapQuest Developer Network: Map APIs, SDKs and Web Services - MapQuest Developer Network)
    But I can't import the component MQFlashMapsAPI_7.1.5_MQ_MOBILE.swc into my project.. Any idea why?
    I've read that I have to import the core.swc from the Flex SDK.. I've put the core.swc file in the components folder, but when I'm going into the components window in Adobe Flash, neither core.swc or MQFlashMapsAPI are visible.
    Do you what should I do in order to import MQFlashMapsAPI in my project ?
    I'm using Adobe Flash pro CC
    Thank you for your help,

    I would be really shocked if it requires ActionScript 2.0 but CC doesn't support that. Otherwise I honestly don't know why it would want a flex library in a place you can't utilize Flex.
    You say you've used this API before. Is this the same MapQuest SWC version you successfully used before or is it updated? What version of flash did you successfully use this in? Lastly did you get Flex from Adobe (4.6.0) or Apache?

  • How do i get adobe flash player on my ipad2

    how do i get adobe flash player onmy ipad2

    Whether flash is junk or not is not my concern as a student. I have no say in what system the school decides to use for homework. I am required to use what they determine is best, not what I would prefer. They have chosen to use "Sapling," and it uses flash - whether I "get over it" or not. So thank you for a very rude and unhelpful comment.
    My point is that if Apple wants to market the iPad as a useful tool for students, some capacity to deal with flash online needs to be present, even if flash is crap. As ClayG said, flash is alive and well, and it is a reality students have to deal with - ideal or not.

  • How do i use firefox as a web browser on my sony tablet s when i try it makes me choose google

    i bought a Sony tablet S for my wife. She wants to access a program for work from home. I downloaded Mozilla firefox to the Sony, but when I open it, and go to type in a web address, it makes me choose Google as a search engine. How can I use Firefox on the Sony tablet? I did not see it in the list of supported devices. Please help. My wife is very frustrated, because she can only open her work program using Mozilla Firefox.

    Hi Paulmozzi!
    Here it is the supported devices list: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/platforms/
    However, because of the large number of Android devices (phones and tablets), not all new devices could be tested yet, but the list will continue to be updated.
    I am not sure if I understand correctly your issue. When typing something in url bar, you will have at least 4 default search engines (Google, Wikipedia, Amazon, Twitter), so you can choose any of them. If you want to install more search engines, here it is a useful link for that: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html (open this link using Firefox Mobile on your tablet).
    If you still need more help, please let us know. Any more details regarding your issue will be very useful.

  • How can I use firefox between windows 7 & windows XP on a network, where we are using Samba server. If a user logs on different workstation(and OS) with same account.

    we have a Linux fileserver with Samba share and have several users.
    The users tend to be in different locations and need to login at different workstations, sometimes the workstation may be WindowsXP and othertimes it is windows7.
    How can we use Firefox & Thunderbird in this situation.
    I find that Windows7 uses compressed files to store the location information.
    when a user logs on to win7 it creates a new account.

  • How do I use daqmx to get encoder direction/count on E-series board?

    Hardware:
    PCI-6014
    Labview 7.1
    I have a linear actuator and wish to get distance/direction.  The
    motor has a quad encoder with phase A and B only.  I connected the
    lines according the the E-series, PFI-8 and PFI-6, and ground to
    digital ground. I then attempted to design a control with daqmx but
    failed.  I have tried the daqmx examples but none were attempting
    a reverse in direction.  Most examples given for direction change
    are for traditional daq control; i cant make a correlation on what to
    use to substite traditional daq with daqmx vi's. 
    2 questions:
    How do I use daqmx to get encoder direction/count on E-series board?
    Are there low pass filter vi's recommended for each phase connection to stabilize data?
    Thanks,
    Wayne Hilburn

    Hello Wayne,
    Take a look at the Count Digital Events.vi shipping example.  You can find this in LabVIEW by selecting Help >> Find Examples... then browsing to Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx >> Counter Measurements >> Count Digital Events.
    If you set the "Count Direction" control to "Externally Controlled", you will be able to count up and down depending on which direction you rotate your encoder.  Make sure you wire Phase A to Ctr0 Source and Phase B to P0.6.  P0.6 is the up/down line for counter 0.
    I hope this helps.  Please let me know if you have any further questions.
    Regards,
    Sean C.

  • When ever I try to watch any video, from a link or YouTube say, using Firefox, I get a message 'An error as occurred. Please try again later'. It has been this way for some weeks. I don't have this problem using Safari or Opera.

    I believe that our “Werbung problem” adds an additional second hyperlink to the pop-up window. This second link is activated whenever you trigger a saved hyperlink to a Mail.com site.
    I had the same problem and eliminated it by deleting all bookmarks, hyperlinks and automatic links that take firefox to a mail.com address. So I just deleted all bookmarks I had saved for mail.com. I also changed my home page link because it also went to my email at mail.com. I then did a warm boot, opened firefox and re-saved my bookmarks and homepage to the desired addresses. Good luck.
