For some reason I can not look at videos, like on YouTube for example. It takes me to the Adobe website and then after I try to download a program to see the video, it still doesnt work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

When I try to see a YouTube video, it says that I have to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player. Once I download the update, Firefox still does not allow me to see the videos. Does anyone know what to do?

1. You need to use Firefox at the Adobe website to get the NPAPI version of Flash for non-IE browsers. Download the Flash plugin from the Adobe Thank You! page via: If it does not start, click here for troubleshooting information. On the troubleshooting page click the link at the bottom: If you are still having problems, click here to download. 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).

See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm --- You also need to update Java - Firefox 3.6+ version need 1.6.0_10 or higher, for the Next Generation plugin. http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp
