I too am having extreme difficulty w/ installing the new flash player. At first I didn't know I had too. Two days ago I was watching a show on YouTube, and last night it said I needed to install the latest version.
Windows Vista Home Edition 64 Bit
Preferred browser Mozilla Foxfire / secondary browser Internet Explorer
I did all the uninstalls and removed files from the download directory.
I followed all instructions making sure I chose the appropriate download version for 64 bit.
Below is what I chose:
Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.94 (16.9 MB)
I downloaded, saved and ran it. Made sure all Firefox windows were closed including weather network. Then it stated 'installation complete'.
I went to YouTube and then it said I had to install the Flash Player. I did this too. Still, nothing worked. I am somehow being forced to upgrade a perfectly good computer?
I hope this can be resolved. I read through everyones comments, tried them all and still nothing.

Surprise to me!!! It worked!!!
I decided to try for the 87th time and it finally worked. What I did was (incase someone else wants to try this) well, it worked for me ... thought I did this before ...
Uninstalled all flash players
Deleted all flash players from download directory
Deleted deleted items from garbage bin (you never know)
Re-started the PC
Went to YouTube and it prompted me to install a Flash Player - did this and guess what ... it worked! Only 5 hours in ...
Now, if I can just figure out how to properly use my new sewing machine hem foot and try to finish measuring (after 8 times) the duvet I am sewing then I will be well on my way!
They say it comes in three's. Had mine. Done !
Good luck everyone!
