Adobe flash player wont install through Mozilla, but it will install through Internet Explorer. Unfortunately I hate Explorer. I have a feeling my settings are wrong (?) because I have never had a problem downloading any programs to my computer through Mozilla. Please help.

Hello,

Firefox uses a different plugin for Flash than Internet Explorer. If you go to the download page for Adobe Flash in Firefox, it should download the correct installer for you.

Note that the link usually has an "Optional offer" for the McAfee toolbar in the middle pane - you can uncheck that box as it is not needed to use Flash.

Alternatively, you can use this link to access the installer for different operating systems/browsers:
