How to Upgrade the Flash Player in Portable Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox's portable edition allows you to carry your browser with you on USB flash drives. Being portable, the software does not require installation into the operating system. Add-ons, and their updates, are installed directly into the portable edition of Firefox, so they are also easily transferred to flash drives or transferred between computers. Updating Flash Player on the portable edition of Firefox works exactly like the installed version of Firefox, except the updated files are stored in the Firefox portable folder.

Instructions

1. Open Firefox portable, and go to the Adobe Flash Player's update site (see Resources).

2. Click the graphical link, labeled "Click here to download plugin."

3. Click "Next" on the first page of the "Plugin Finder Service" window.

4. Click "I agree" to the license agreement and click "Next."

5. Click "Yes" to the Windows confirmation window, which asks if you want the updater to make changes to your computer.

6. Check "I have read and agree to the terms of the Flash Player License Agreement" to again agree to the license. Click "Install" to install the plug-in.

7. Click "Complete" in the "Plugin Finder Service" window to complete installation.
