I am trying to download the flash player. However, I get a message from the flash player people that says: "The installer will automatically continue when these conflicting applications are closed: Mozilla Firefox.

  1. Download and save the Flash installer to the desktop.
  2. Close Firefox via File > Exit
  3. Start the Flash installer with a double-click on the desktop icon.

If you still get that error then check the Task Manager for hanging Firefox processes.

See "Hang at exit":
