This may not be a Firefox problem as such. It may well be that you do not have administrative rights to install FlashPlayer, or for some reason security software is causing a problem. Exactly what do you mean by It won't let me download it. possibly any error or warning messages you get will be meaningful; what are they ?

Presumably you could use Internet Explorer, does that work with the radio stations ?
note IR & Firefox are likely to need separate installs of flash Player, and certainly you will need to test each browser separately for flash Player functionality.

thank you for replying, but I don't even understand what you said. I am new to computers and I can't even follow your instructions. All I know is something won't let me listen to my radio station and I've tried many times today to load Adobe Flash Player and it just says installation not complete or something like that, you say I have it, but I don't see it anywhere and if I do have it, why doesn't my radio live stream go through. I live way out in a rural area and we can't get an AM radio station so I used to live stream and listen that way, but now I can't Thank you, Paula
