good morning early risers!
Can I ask for some help please?

Firefox and Adobe Flash Player related - I can watch youtube etc when using IE but Firefox keeps asking me to D/L Flash Player. I D/L it and when I try to install it tells me to shut Firefox, then nothing happens.

Please help techno-gobshite!

thanks
baz

I'm not very techno minded but
when I install stuff on Firefox it won't let me install things when it's open. So I have to shut it down and then install. Then it works fine.
However this is on a Mac. How this works on PCs I have no idea.

thanks all (al)
youtube, bands homepages etc. You get a little blue bit of lego saying install plugins.

Once you shut down Firefox, where do you go to find the d/l?

thanks again!

If you are on a Mac
Then on your desktop. On a pc, no idea.

Being technically inept
I have nothing constructve to add to this conversation.

But I will use it as an opportunity to say hello to you Baz - haven't seen you in a while! Hope all is well, techie crap aside.
