i will try this one last time. the current version of firefox does not allow me to view videos from u tube or other sources. the solutions i have been offered is to downgrade to previous versions of adobe flash. the issue is: ADOBE NO LONGER ALLOWS ONE TO DOWNLOAD and RUN OLDER VERSIONS OF FLASH. if you follow all the steps you get a message that there is a new version of flash. yes it will download but when u try to install it the message i mentioned appears.. please please try yourself and see.

can naoyone offer a solution that will work now?

thanks

There are several problems with the newest Adobe Flashplayer. Adobe is working to fix the problems. You can check for problems and possibly downgrade Flash to version 11.2 or 10.3.

When you lead the linked articles, note that you n]may need to uninstall the existing FlashPlayer first of all as explained in http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

You say installed plugins "too many to list", there was in fact a tip to copy and paste them, but one important question may be do you have any RealPlayer software installed, that may sometimes cause Flash Problems.
