Flash in Firefox without Admin Privileges

May 20th, 2009 by Connor McBrine-Ellis | View Comments | Filed in Apps, How Tos, Offline, Tech

If you’re trying to either install Adobe Flash into a Firefox install on a computer you don’t have admin rights on, or install it into Portable Firefox, then you’re probably having trouble. The solution is relatively simple considering Adobe Flash runs off of only just two files! Just copy those files and you’re set.

Download the flash installer, then use a program such as WinRAR or PeaZip to “extract the .EXE file”.

Then find the files flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll which you already extracted, and copy those to the folder Moziilla Firefox/plugins.

Restart Firefox, and it’s really as simple as that!

Another option if for some reason this doesn’t work though it should, is to download this extension and install it inside firefox: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/xpi/current/flashplayer-win.xpi

There is no real link to download this on Adobe’s website, yet a link to the full trials which are hosted on Adobe’s servers has been leaked! You will need an adobe account to do this, just create one, login, and then use these links.

Usually, the Master Collection trials are not posted on the website, yet we have the ’secret links’!

Try it out. Contact me at if you’d like a key for the full version.
