Lets try using the manual installation or also known as the offline installer.

Go to this page:

Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows

Go to the bottom and choose the version for Firefox and download it.

Close Firefox all windows.

Verify that the following processes are not running using task manager

flashplayer*  ; meaning anything with the process of flash player

Firefox

plugin-container

force close the weather channel desktop app if you have that

Next run the installer you downloaded here is the direct DL link for it. http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player.exe

If you Install, verify it control panel that it is installed, and test in Firefox on this page at the top:Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows

Lets start simple and move forward

Best Regards

Thanks- closing browser or larger macromedia.com download file solved my problem. I can't find "correct" below your forum answer and I'd like to give you credit for your help. (I'm a neophyte to forums.) lrk

I found a screenshot , but I am not sure why you are not seeing it. I should be on the left side like below at the end of my post.

Also try refreshing the page or browser by closing and re-opening

Also trying going to your Inbox and activity by clicking on your PROFILE as shown below and then click actions in the left side pane and see if there is anything there?

I changed status of original question to "Assumed Answered" and your responses are now "correct." Profile options for me didn't help but I appreciate your suggestions. lrk
