Hi guys, (repost to help as many as i can :) )

i know many still having the problem of installing flash into firefox (problem: close firefox before proceeding)

try this method instead if you are really desperate. (installing the plugin manually)

The link addresses a different problem but coincidently solved this problem as well

Step 1: download this file
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/xpi/current­­/flashplayer-win.xpi

Step 2: Rename the file to flashplayer-win.zip

Step 3: open up the zip file

Step 4: copy 2 files flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll

Step 5: go to explorer and navigate yourway to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins

Step 6: paste the flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll files into that directory

Done: Restart your firefox and it will work!

Credit due to author of link below. i basically searched for manual installation plug-in rather than try to fix the installer problem.

Please try to use another browser such as Google chrome or IE. Once it is downloaded you can then use Firefox again, for your browsing purposes.
