Comments on: Portable Firefox and the Flash Player

Upgrading a portable version of Firefox to the latest version of the Flash Player is a manual procedure

Another tip: If you don't have any of the Flash files on your computer and have trouble installing them to your portable firefox folder, you can also download the Firefox flash installer from adobe and use Universal Extractor to manually pull out the files from the installer and place them in the plugins folder.

Odd... I've been using Firefox and Thunderbird Portable Editions since they've existed, and I've never had a problem establishing the current/latest version of Flash player in Firefox. When Flash gets updated, just use the flashplayer-win extension to update your Fx Portable plug-in. Works like a charm; only takes a few seconds. (You can more quickly verify which release of the plug-in you're using by doing about:plugins; Shockwave Flash is usually right up at the top.)

Sometimes that just doesn't seem to work. I've tried before (manually even) to open the flash plugin file (.xpt) in FF portable and will say it can't read it or something. And no, it wasn't corrupt. I looked into that.

So that's why I've had to use the above method before.

The following method worked perfectly. Same content in different bowl.

Download the extension
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/xpi/current/flashplayer-win.xpi
by right clicking and selecting ?Save Link As?
After this open the file using either WinRar/WinZip and extract the
lashplayer.xpt, NPSWF32.dll files to Mozilla Firefox\plugins\
