Manually installing Flash Player on Kindle Fire

Adobe dropped support for Flash for Android in August 2012. So, any new Android Devices do not have Flash. You can install Flash and a Flash compatible web browser on your Fire manually. Here are the instructions:

To install Flash: (You have to have a Flash compatible browser in order to install Flash. You can't install it under Silk.)

Do the following on the Fire/Fire HD itself:

Swipe down from the top > More > Device > Allow Installation of Applications.

Install ES File Explorer: ES File Explorer

Download and install the Dolphin HD and Flash Player apk files from this link:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9d8gxh75f0747f1/83fV5m6x2c

Once both files are downloaded to your Fire, open ES File Explorer and look in the "Downloads" folder. You should see both files there. Install Dolphin HD *first* by tapping on the icon. Then Install Flash.

**Note that I added the APK file for ES File Explorer to the dropbox link. Some people were having issues downloading and installing it from the Amazon Appstore. If you can get it from the Amazon AppStopre, that's easier.**

2 more files

lgspi.dll and psfxt.dll

They were both found under C:\Documents and Settings\me\Application Data\

expaavaw.dll

expaavaw.dll is a bad virus.

I found it at location: C:\Windows\System32\expaavaw.dll.

Fortunately, I was able to use Malwarebytes's FileASSASSIN to remove it.  Easy.

Firefox tabs & address

I wanted my tabs below the address bar (Mozilla Firefox).  Here's how to do it.

The following answer was found at: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/936569

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On 9/7/12 2:13 PM, someone ("animalmother") asked:

I want my TABS below the addres bar.

I want my TABS below the addres bar, there is no option for "tabs on top" anymore and I simply want them below the address bar. My y580 still has the tabs below but my asus g75vw has the tabs on top and the tabs on top" option is not there. WHat can I do?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




The most helpful answer I saw was by "Tylerdowner":

For the moment you still can manually change that behavior - enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named browser.tabs.onTop & toggle it to false by double-clicking it. however this setting might lose its effect in a future version of the browser, for more information also see www.ghacks.net/2012/07/26/mozilla-tabs-on-bottom-feature-needs-to-go
