Question about Firefox and Flash Player

If anyone here uses these maybe you can help me. I have FF 2.0.0.6 and Flash Player 9.0.28. There is a newer version of Flash 9.0.47. When I go to the download page, I d/l it to my desktop and then click on it to run. I then go to the Adobe page to verify installation and it shows I have no player at all installed. The d/l removed the Player that I had. Luckily I had saved the previous installation and reinstalled that. I posted this question on the Firefox forum but have had no answers that work. Would anyone here be able to help. Thanks

I’m not being able to install it too…

didn’t have that trouble tech-the pic above —welcome back ;D

It is always the best thing you can do to completely uninstall the old version of the Flash player and then proceed with installation of the new one. Even though new installations are supposed to remove the old version and then install new one, sometimes, especially Flash plug-in installations for browsers are acting kind of weird.

I don’t have problems on either of my browsers, not on PC nor on my Mac. IE7, Firefox and Safari, all three have the latest version of Flash installed without any problems.

Oh… forgot to mention Flock… no problems there either.

drhayden, I go to that page and it says I have version 9.0.28 and I am trying to install the latest version 9.0.47. That is my problem. Thanks

Have you read my reply ? Uninstall it completely from Install/Uninstall panel in Windows and then install the new version…

There are stand alone programs available of Shockwave and Flash via a search of the Adobe Macromedia Download Section
Shockwave
Shockwave_Installer_Slim.exe
Shockwave_Installer_Full.exe
sw_uninstaller.exe

Flash
install_flash_player.exe
uninstall_flash_player.exe

Have you read my reply ? Uninstall it completely from Install/Uninstall panel in Windows and then install the new version…

SasH, I tried what you suggested and it will not install at all. I have to go back to my copy of version 9.0.28 and reinstall that.

Thanks for all the replies.

go to this link and click on -You can verify the version you have installed by visiting the About Flash page.

drhayden, right now I don’t have it installed. I have tried at least 5 times today at the link you posted and it will just not install. When I double click on it it looks like it installs but then I click on the details and it says copy failed to program files or something like that. I guess I just have to accept the fact that I just can’t get it to install and use the old version. Thanks anyway.

curious-is your firefox updated to the newest version-can’t figure out why you can’t install flash player ::slight_smile: ???
have you gone to firefox extensions and the plug-in page and did it that way :wink:

weather here-100 degree Fahrenheit = 37.7777778 degree Celsius-think i’ll cook dinner on the sidewalk or car roof ;D

When I clicked on that link it took me to the Adobe page I have been to all day. Wish I could figure this out I don’t know what else to do.

Here in Ky it is hot also.

Thanks

Well, I finally got it. I used an XPI package instead of the stand alone installer and it worked. I want to thank everyone for trying to help me today.
Have a good evening.

Well, I finally got it
