I'm going around in circles in my Firefox browser. When I check for 
plug-in status, I'm advised to update Flash. I go to the
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
BUT the "Install Now" button at the bottom right directs to www.adobe.com
When that page opens, they list the download as (you got it)
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
It also doesn't display the Optional extras content, just the title of the box.

And yes, I have enabled cookies for the site. And no, my antivirus 
program doesn't block installing anything. It asks for permission 
when I try to install something.

Found the problem. Ghostery breaks it. They insist on allowing 
beacons in order for the software to install. Another red flag.
All done.

I was successful with IE and have updated that one.

Sooner or later, I hate to break it to you, you're gonna die, so how 
do you fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space.
