Chosen solution

I have found using a download manager works better. There are even managers that run separately from Firefox.


You are using an old version of Firefox. Is there a reason? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-version 49.0.2


Security Issue: Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Flash Player Version: 23.0.0. 205 Flash Player (Linux) Version 11.2. 202.643

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Direct link scans current system and browser Note: Other software is offered in the download.
