Some how, act of god, when I got my new computer at work I was able to get Firefox on it.
One problem though I can't seem to play any videos using Firefox they will play on IE but not FF.
Says I have to upgrade from Adobe reader 9 to 10 but Admin capabilities won't allow.
Is there any work around?

Yeah that, sorry.
Why IE can use it but not FF is strange.
Probably becasue I am running IE 8 and Firefox 3.5.

I had a similar problem, then at some point IE stopped working and Firefox works, that's better anyway since I rarely use IE. I don't know what made it work though...

They use plugins differently, so it's not so strange.
What I usually do for cases where Firefox doesn't work properly, I use this:
IE Tab (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419)
I use it mainly to troubleshoot any web coding issues I'm having, as so I don't have to open up IE.

Do you not have admin access at all on that machine?

Correct, if the Admin won't let you DL and install applications, you're stuck.
Find a work-related site that has a Flash animation or presentation and ask them to install it so you can use that work-related site. :food-smil

I installed it but can't get the button to show up... I am a dumb ass.

Right click on whatever page and you can select 'View Page in IE Tab'
