Flash Player upgrade required You must download and install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player  - then I try to install and it goes through all of it and says it will not work with Firefox 3.6b5.  I have tried more than one time.  Apparently needs a patch or a driver that is compatible to work.

1.Try to open something with Adobe in Firefox 3.6b5
2.It will say you must download & install latest ver of Adobe Flash... download & install this...
3.there you go... it now says it will not work with Firefox 3.6b5
Actual Results:  
See step 3 above...

It was expected that Adobe would function properly... but it dose not

nothing relevant that would interfere with Adobe installing and working with Firefox 3.6b5

This is a bug that impedes being able to watch video, and with much of todays items being in that format, it makes it favorable to consider switching to another version of Firefox or to use a different internet browser.

Adobe attempts to use an extension called Adobe Download Manager to install the Flash plugin. Use http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/thankyou/?installer=Flash_Player_10_for_Windows_-_Other_Browsers to avoid this.

Adobe is responsible for updating and maintaining their extension

The Url that Kevin Brosnan gave to solve the problem took care of it.  Thank you very much for the corrected extension for downloading Flashplayer for Firefox 3.6b5
