Q&A: Fixing Flash Player Settings - NYTimes.com

Q.

Games won?t work when I use Facebook with Firefox. Is there a problem with that browser?

A.

If Facebook games will not work in Firefox, make sure you have the most recent version of the browser, as well as the most recent version of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in that handles animation and interactivity for some sites. You can see the version of the Flash player installed on the computer by clicking the Adobe Flash Player Help/Find Version page here.

The page has instructions for updating the software if you need to, but if your system is already up to date, you may just need to change the Flash player settings so it saves game information on your computer. To do that, right-click (or hold down the Control key and click) the animated Flash movie at the top of the Find Version page and choose Global Settings from the menu.

In the Flash Player settings box that opens, click the Storage tab. By default, the Flash player is probably set to ?Ask me before allowing new sites to save information on this computer.? (You do have to option to allow any site to save information to the computer, or block any site for storing information as well.) Click the ?Local Storage Settings by Site? button.

In the list of sites that appears, select www.facebook.com and use the pop-up menu under Storage Access to change the setting from Block to either Ask Me or Allow. Close the Flash Player settings box, restart Firefox and try the Facebook game again.
