Trying to update Firefox Adobe plugin and just get black screen

Firefox had some issue with some page (windows PC), and said my Plugins needed to be updated.  The message didn't say which one, but the plugin checker showed several.  I clicked on the first one: Shockwave Flash Update NOW link that Firefox provides and this is what I get:
Further poking around shows ALL pages on adobe.com looking similar.
What is going on?????   What to do?  Is this just indicative of Adobe's lack of quality control.  My platform may be a tad old, but I have had NO trouble with any pages rendering correctly.   Only a VERY poor web designer would cause that kind of problem!  
Kind of hard to use IE to update my Firefox plugins!!!  Rock and a hard place.

sounded like a great idea, but alas, it did not help.
Suspecting Java, I decided to update my java FF plugin too, but the "update now" button just brings me to the release notes page that does not have a download direct link.  There are a gazillion download choices and none that sound like the particular component that Firefox said I needed.  Java plugin updates are not meant for normal people anymore (esp since Oracle took over).  This hands-off Java "support" always been a flaw of the Firefox usage model IMO.

    Hi stijill2,
    In case you are facing issues uninstalling the app's then please try manual cleanup of Adobe from your machine by following the below mentioned steps:
    1. Navigate to Applications and trash all Adobe app's and Adobe folder.
    2. Navigate to Applications/Utilities/ and trash Adobe Application Manager,Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Installer folder.
    3. Go to Library/Application Support and trash Adobe.
    4.Go to ~/Library/Application Support and trash Adobe.
    Try installing the CC app's and let us know if still the error persists.

  • Bought an app one month ago. Now it demands that I repay the subscription fee for it. Tried to report problems on iTunes and just get referred back to Apple Support website. What do I do?

    Micromedex Drug Interactions. The app itself is free. A one year subscription costs $9.99. It worked fine for a month. THen an "update" was automatically installed and it now demands a new $9.99 payment. Thank you.

  • I am trying to download FireFox for Vista and it gets to the RUN screen, I click on it and it seems to download but never actually gets loaded????

    I tried to download Firefox for Vista. It gets to the run screen, I hit run, it seems to download but then the window dissappears and I still don't have Firefox installed. I have tried this several times.

    Don't use '''Run''', save the Firefox setup file and do the installation separately from the download.

    Yesterday I check my IPAD 2 (wifi + 3G) for any APP update, it was downloading and stop, lock up on me. When I turn back on it's showing ITunes hookup. I update my Mac to the lastest ITunes and try to restore and update my IPAD. It was a no-go, keep coming up with error. What would cause that and how do I fix that to update my IPAD to IOS6 and hopefully my data is still there.

    I recently updated to snow leopard and now I get blue screen on start-up.
    I manage to get to enter my password and then to my desktop for a few seconds before it flicks back to my login.
    I tried using disk utility from the install disc and it said HD appears to be ok. But it hasn't solved the problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • Trying to update to version 2 and keep getting error

    I keep getting error (-6971) which has to do with backup. In order for my update to continue I have to continue and loose all saved data. HELP! What do I do?

    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    If you disabled yuor computer's security software then that indicates a hardware problem,
    I would say it is not workth fixint your old. likely a 1G. iPOd.

  • Trying to update Itunes 10.7 and keep getting error code 2349 please help want Itunes back

    please help I uninstalled the itunes I already had and now have no itunes :/

    Although it's a better bet with a 2330 than a 2349, I'd try running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive. 
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
