I have not been able to get Adobe Flash player 20 from my hard drive to Mozilla. I turned off all security programs, all maintenance programs, I tried downloading from Mozilla, Adobe, cNet.com.

Adobe 20 is on my hard drive and will not translate to Mozilla. What is my solution?

I am getting ready to dump Mozilla altogether if this doesn't get fixed.

I prefer Mozilla but I have been using Chrome in it's place.

Answers?

Thanks.

Chosen solution

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Flash Player Version 20.0.0.267
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html Note: Windows users should download the ‘’’active_x’’’ for “Internet Explorer,” and the ‘’’plugin’’’ for “Plugin-based browsers” (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict.

Adobe still offers Flash 18.0.0.268 as its extended support release further down
