Answer» Hello Forum: Am running WinXP -using IE6.x-I installed Firefox 1.04 - Alternating between browsers- Did not change any browser defaults in Firefox or IE- Cannot get Macromedia Flash to download and use with Firefox- It came installed with WinXP when I bought computer-Tried 6 times to install it when using the Firefox browser-Macromedia site says it is there but when I GO to a site using Flash Player and am using Firefox it says I must get Macromedia Flash Player installed- Flash Player works fine when using IE-Is this a Windows issue or a browser issue and could you please help me fix it . It appears in my programs list but will not function when I use Firefox THANK YouBrowser issue.
You may be able to install Macromedia Flash player by going to a website that requires you to have this plug-in installed. Firefox will tell you it is missing certain plug-ins. Click on the yellow bar and follow installation instructions.Raptor: Thanks for reply. I was at Vanguard site and message appeared that I needed to install Flash Player . I clicked on link to Macromedia and downloaded it. Macromedia site ran a test and said it was installed.All the time I was using Firefox. I installed it more than 4 times. Four icons were on my desktop for setup. Still when I went back to Vanguard I got same message. ALSO looked in Firefox tools>options>plugins. Macromedia is not there. I never changed any defaults in Firefox. I have McAfee Virus scan,Windows Firewall(not both)and have all updates-Windows,Firefox and McAfee. I don't think it is installing in Firefox for some reason. It was and is still in PROGRAM listing from original configuration when I bought computer. Thanks again. Bill30955Have you enabled Flash in the Firefox configuration menu? Raptor: all plugins are enabled in Firefox- All have check marks- I think maybe it is the site-Vanguard. I went to other sites and right clicked on ANYTHING that moved and the info window popped up saying "about macromedia flash" went to macromedia site and said it is in use. All using Firefox browser. Will try at work with another computer that also has Firefox. Thanks again Will update mondayHello Forum: Tried same site at work-Using Firefox on WinXP-Comcast broadband- It must be the site that is having the problem-will not activate Macromedia flash player-Macromedia says it is there and demonstrates it-but the site(Vanguard)says it is not there. Not worth the aggravation-will use IE6.x if I want enhanced graphics on the site. Thanks for your input Raptor.( Flash was enabled on the second computer also) bill30955What is the adress of the website?Raptor: Sorry for late reply-been away-The site is vanguard.com-pick a fund and select "performance"-scroll down and see a graph chart(on IE)-Using Firefox, instead of graph chart a message says you must install macromedia flash. Well, it is already loaded and enabled. Bill30955 Is it the picture of the aging man telling you that you need to install Flash player or an upgraded version thereof?
I can seem to access the content just fine apart from the old geezer.
