Can't download Adobe Flash player for Mozilla Firefox.. Help!

[geri_smile]

hey all..

Is anyone experiencing the same thing? Just downloaded firefox, and i can't seem to download the adobe flash player pluggin. The download just stops at "5%".. And after awhile, it will say that there's an error.

Any idea how to resolve this matter?

Thanks!

clear cache, then try direct download file from either
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/

mm.. Still can't.. there's a message which says:
could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

wat antivirus/firewall are u using? nod32?

if u are using 3rd party firewall, can u remove ff from allow list, then allow again when asked?

thanks for the reply...

I'm using "McAfee SiteAdvisor".

trying to find the allow list.. heh.
