I was delighted and thought the problem was solved, but there are various sites ie Youtube that can't now be viewed unless FP10 is downloaded, so I am back - almost- where I started from ...... Amazon Germany appears to be having a similar problem, but have been told they are working on it. Any other ideas?????; Like this Reply to this comment

Where you been the past month?
Hope it has been something like a long vacation and not a problem of some sort.
Hope you will soon be back.

by wa8whp June 11, 2009 2:21 PM PDT: Farm Town wanted the new flash player. I tried 11 time. I get to a place that says exit firefox and exit compuserve. I exit firefox but I do not have compuserve as far as I know. I downloaded to IE no problem but I prefer firefox which now has no flash player installed. Help!!!; Like this Reply to this comment


by norcalwoman22 July 28, 2009 5:37 PM PDT: Last night ran flashplayer uninstall via Foxfire which took hours. Shut down system afterward.
Today, still finding flashplayer evidence in several dll files. Attempting to remedy/uninstall them, am directed to install a plug-in, which I don't feel safe doing.
I'm chasing my tail. Please advise.; Like this Reply to this comment
