See the [http://www.adobe.com/support/security/index.html#flashplayer Adobe Security bulletins and advisories page] for information about security and stability issues affecting Adobe Flash Player and other Adobe products. * For instructions on how to install the Flash plugin for Firefox, see [[Installing the Flash plugin]]. __TOC__ = Testing Flash = Visit [http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Adobe's Test Page] to see if the Flash plugin is installed and working properly.

If you have an older version of Flash installed, you should update Flash to the latest version. If you have an older Mac that you upgraded to Mac OS 10.6, Flash may no longer work in Firefox 4 Beta 7 or above, even though you are using the latest version of Flash. This is caused by a Flash bug. As a workaround, you can run Firefox in 32-bit mode, as follows: #From the menu bar, select {menu Firefox} and then select {menu Quit Firefox} #Open the {filepath Applications} folder in Finder and locate the {filepath Firefox} application icon. #Hold down the {key control} key while you click the {filepath Firefox} icon and select {menu Get Info} from the list of menu items. #In the "Firefox Info" window, click the box in front of "Open in 32-bit mode" so that it is checked. #Close the "Firefox Info" window and then restart Firefox 4. {/for} <!-- MZ credit --> <br/> <br/> '''''Based on information from [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash Flash (mozillaZine KB)]'''''
