    So, regular problems with IE7 drove me finally to download Firefox. And it's working pretty well, with one exception: I cannot get Flash to work. Any suggestions?

    What happens, does it just hang or do you get an error message?
    edit: oh and how did you install it?

    Actually, it won't even let me install: it keeps telling me I need to close all other applications, even when I already have...

    Have you rebooted between installing firefox and trying to install flash?
    That might work
    And which site are you getting flash off, adobe.com?

    Yes, I've rebooted, and I have no idea: when it says 'you need plugins to view this', I click on the icon, follow the link, and fail. :(

    Have you made sure using the task manager that all instances of firefox are closed?

    edit: Ah, I see problem fixed already. :techman:
