Can I update plugin on dial-up - check & update page doesn't work
I am on DIAL UP as I live in remote area. Got message that Flash plugin was disabled because it is out of date. Tried to update and told plugins BLOCKED FOR MY SAFETY, then told to go to "Plugin Check & Update" page. The "Checking Mozilla on Status of Your Plugins" circle/hourglass has been going round for almost 2 hours - nothing happening. Last time I had to pay computer guy $50 to update stuff. I can't afford this every other month. Any suggestions?

hello, you can download the current version of the flash plugin directly from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Download the flash and install it.
Stable version of Flash
Beta version of Flash
Note:
- Download the flash
- Firefox File > QUIT
- Double click the flash to install, after installation open your firefox, it will be updated in firefox too
Thanks. I ended up taking my PC to my daughter's - she's on high speed - and I downloaded the updated versions of everything I needed. My Dial-up is too slow (26.4 kbps YIKES!) to do that... bummer. So guess I'll just have to bring my PC to town periodically to do updates.
when you're on such a slow connection, then flash content (mainly video) won't be of much use to you anyway. so you could as well disable the plugin in firefox/tools > addons > plugins once it becomes outdated and vulnerable again.
