The tutorial shows a restart button to push after install, but the power switch to my computer is going bad and may not be able to have my computer come back on if a do a restart.

Hi, you only need to close and restart Firefox. (Main menu bar > Help > About Firefox to update).

Note, your version of Shockwave Flash is also very old and needs updating (Ctrl+Shift+A) > Plugins.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

Close Firefox, wait a minute or two, and then open Firefox.
