Installing Flash Player to firefox without admin permissions

by Tom on Jul.14, 2009, under Windows 7, Windows OS, Windows Software, Windows Vista, Windows XP

So today i installed FireFox 3.5 onto a machine at work, later realizing that you have to have admin privileges to install flash! daym! but with a few quick steps, flash was working in 3 minutes.

  1. Download the XPI of the Flash Player plugin. An XPI is generally a plug-in for FireFox which is in fact a ZIP archive.
  2. (Rename to .zip if you want and) extract the files in the XPI.
  3. Go to Start » Run » enter “%APPDATA%” » OK
  4. Navigate to Mozilla\Plugins\, if this directory doesn’t exist, create it.
  5. Copy flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll from the extracted files to %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Plugins.
  6. Restart FireFox and flash will be installed!
