I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player and it is asking me to close Mozilla Firefox before it will download. How do I do this?

Save the Flash installer to the desktop and close Firefox via File > Exit or Firefox > Exit.
Then run the Flash installer with a double lick on that desktop icon.<br />
You may need to use "Run as Administrator" via the right-click context menu of that file.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
    Flash Player Uninstaller.
    When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller.  After this has completed, restart the notebook.
    Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.  Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
    Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
    Launch Firefox and see if videos etc play Ok - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component.  When done, restart Internet Explorer.

  • Firefox is refusing to allow me to download Adobe Flash Player so it is stopping me playing Farmville on Facebook. how do I solve this problem.

    I downloaded Adobe Flash Player as Firefox was not allowing me to play Farmville on Facebook3.6.10, but Adobe said that it couldn't load until all the conflicting programs were closed. so I closed Firefox and Adobe disappeared off my screen as well, the operating system I am using is Windows 7 Home Premium

  • I'm downloading Adobe Flash Player and it's asking me for a password and I haven't put up a password so what do I do?

    Full details:
    I got a macbook pro today (20/01/2014) so I need help as I'm used to Windows computers and anyways, I'm trying to watch a Youtube video but it's asking me to download and install Adobe Flash Player, I download it, then I'm actually trying to install it, I click install and it's asking me for my password when I haven't even put up a password yet, I didn't boot up my Mac, the sales advisor did at the shop where I bought the Macbook Pro so what do I do?

    What password did you set up in the Setup Assistant when you created your initial user account? This is the password it wants - your admin password. If you did not create one then see below:
    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
         Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
         instructions in the dialog window that will appear.

    Hi Terry, A post is the message that anyone has just typed in. When you replied to me, that was your post. I am replying to you so this is my post. Think of it as sending an email or mailing a letter at the "post" office.
    Now right at the top of the last post (message) you sent me is a Post#, then the date and time and under that the thread subject "Re: I am trying to download Adobe Flash Player 10 and I keep getting......
    The first time that you posted, you described your problem. The next post after that is #1 and so on.
    The Adobe Flash Player forum works very much like email except there are a lot of "threads". A thread is what each message you see is called. Everyone that registers can start their own thread (subject). Then other people see it and can post to your thread and try to help you with your problem.
    You did pretty good, you registered, and you started your first thread
    Now do you feel somewhat more relaxed?  Hope so.
    Take a look now and see if you can find the Post# and etc that I described above.
    Thanks,
