Prior to about 8 months ago when my computer crashed and I had to reprogram same adobe flash player worked great with my fire fox. However, after I reprogrammed my computer under windows 7, I could not get adobe to run again. As you know Adobe is mandate by most sites like You Tube. It would download fine, but the Adobe Installation Manger just went blank and would not complete the download.

To understand where it stalled: you downloaded the small installer and started it up, and it isn't able to download the rest of the files needed to install Flash?

This can be caused by a strict firewall, or other factors not related to Firefox.

Adobe has a separate page where you can download "full" installers that are self-contained and do not need to connect back to Adobe for additional files. Choose the one for "plugin-based" browsers:

https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

Hopefully that one will work. Any luck?

Did you close Firefox before starting the Adobe Flash installer?
