    Adobe Flash Player download timeout when installing on Firefox

    Dont know whether the problem is with my Firefox 13 or Adobe's site. I did a clean install of Firefox 13 today morning after uninstalling Firefox 11. Installed few add-ons and when trying to install flash player, here comes the annoying problem. I tried installing the same with firefox message of Missing plugin on youtube website. It took its time to download Flash Player but it stucks in between after completing about 71%. Later it gives me error saying TimedOut. I tried the same for about 5 to 7 times, yet the same problem.

    Can any one help me out with this ?

    I dont think the problem is with Adobe's site because i keep on installing news PC every day (its my job) and i install Flash player every from Adobe itself because i need the latest every time. Mine download goes fine. There should be some problem in your system or browser itself. So, i'll suggest you to use other browser and better download the complete Flash installer from Adobe after selecting your operating system and Browser. I do the same thing and never faced any problem.

    Did you checked whether JavaScript is enabled or not in your Firefox? If not, do it now. That could be the reason preventing Flash player to download and giving errors. It is here:



    To go here, launch Firefox, click on Tools, click Options. Go to Content and check mark the box for Enable JavaScript. Restart browser and start downloading Flash Player.

    I was not aware that JavaScript can also cause such problems with Flash player. Anyway, can you please tell me where is the setting to enable/disable javascript in Chrome v21 ??

    For Chrome, you need to click on Settings, at the end of the page click on
    • “Show Advanced Settings”.
    • Now under Privacy, click on Content Settings.
    • Under JavaScript, Select Allow All sites to run JavaScript.
    • Click Ok and restart browser.
