cannnot install Flash Player 11

Report · Feb 27, 2013

I get access to virtually all contetns everywhere with my Flash 10 (Firefox, Windows 7), except that I have to click every time on the "activate plugins" red button in the left corner of the Firefox address line, but one particular site asks specifically to install Flash 11 and does not let me in otherwise.

I'm installing it again and again, not getting any error messages, and ending on the Adobe Web-page saying that the installation was successful (I can actually see Flash 11 among my installed programs), yet no site then believes that I have any Flash installed, all suggesting that I "get Adobe Flash Player" (not even the red button appears in the addres bar to help me out).

Strangely, once, after 1.5 hrs of re-installing, I began getting access with my Flash 11 to all sites. Yet this was gone after rebooting, so I'm back to square one.

Thanks for any help.

I've just tried it with Google Chrome, and it works fine !

(did not work with Internet Explorer, not only with Firefox)

For Internet Explorer, please make sure you install the Active X version of the plugin. For Firefox, can you navigate to both "about:support" and "about:plugins" in the addressbar and paste the contents of both pages into a reply?
