Every time I try to download Adobe Flash, I get a message that tells me to temporarily disable Firefox. I can't find that information. One search said to "close Firefox," but I don't know how to do that, either. HELP!! (I can't play one of my simple computer games without Adobe Flash.)

Where do I go--what do I do? I don't see a tools icon.

Just exit the program, clicking the cross icon in the top corner, or using the keyboard keys Alt + F4 will do that.

  • Or Firefox button -> [x] exit
