Having trouble downloading adobe flash player. The instructions tell me to find a yellow bar and click on the "edit options" button but it does not exist. Thank you in advance for your help!

Those "Yellow bar" instructions are for older versions of Firefox, ignore that.

1.Download the Flash setup file from here: Adobe Flash - Plugin version. Save it to your Desktop. 2. Close Firefox using File > Exit then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure firefox.exe is closed,

3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).
