Cannot install Adobe update: no yellow bar, no "Install missing plugins"

more options

Following advice in FAQs I went to Adobes test page: no yellow bar appeared, nor a box "Install missing plugins". Trying to install Adobe Flash 10 leads to a message to close down Firefox.

Old instructions, that "yellow bar" was used on older versions of Firefox.

1.Download the Flash setup file from here:
Adobe Flash - Plugin version.
Save it to your Desktop.

2. Close Firefox using File > Exit
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure firefox.exe is closed,
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}

3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
