Hi, I just recently downloaded and began using Mozilla's Firefox 1.6 as my web browser, but for some reason, whenever I try to go to a site that uses a Flash plugin, Mozilla refuses to let me download the plugin. I mean, it tries, but it never works. Does anyone else have the same problem with Mozilla or have heard of this happening? its not that big of a deal, because I can still use Internet Explorer, but Mozilla is just much safer in general, so I'd rather use that. Any advice, answers or ideas would be very welcome. thanks in advance.

Hi...
there is something not right with that version of yours... if this is version 1.6, download official Firefox from Mozilla, rather that using this version... if not, so it is good  ok... you say you cannot get flash plugin to work... I remember that my Firefox wasn't able to initialize flash plugin when I moved form Mozilla suite - the answer was - remove .mozilla folder for all home folders of all users... there are old configuration files that was causing this behavior for me... but make sure you make a copy of importand to you bookmarks and all settings of that kind... I think that this may be something like thai what happend to me... hope this helps...

Firefox is not 1.6, you dummy. It's here:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ You see? The most current version is 1.0.2. Are you using beta, though? |

No he means the Mozilla suite
that is a complete email/browsing/and other things suite. About the problem, you could try downloading the plugin from the shockwave site. www.shockwave.com

It's posted more than a month ago  And since the topic started hasn't replied. I think that his problem was solved. Im closing this one now
