When I go to <http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/> and click on the "Agree and install now" button -- I tried it again just now -- I get a file-selection window titled "Enter name of file to save to...". In that window, I navigate to my standard [D:\downloads\software] directory to save the installer file. What extensions do you already have installed? Mine are: Extensions (enabled: 7) * Adblock Plus 1.2.2 (http://adblockplus.org/) * DOM Inspector 2.0.4 (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/inspector/) * Flashblock 1.3.16 (http://flashblock.mozdev.org/) * Live HTTP headers 0.16 * PrefBar 5.1.1 (http://prefbar.mozdev.org/) * Show Password On Input 0.1.3 (https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/6143/) * ShowIP 0.8.19 (http://code.google.com/p/firefox-showip/) I temporarily disable Flashblock to test the new installation of Flash. Disabling Flashblock before going to <http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/> has no impact on downloading the installer file. -- David E.
