Flashplayer and Firefox asked to update When I did flash player wouldn't install. Initializing errors and permissiondenied. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling~no change except it now shows up on my computer (it did not with the 1st install) Cannot play YouTube, videos, most audio, webinars..VERY frustrating. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox~no change. Tried installing an earlier version of Flash (13.?) Still no change
