Sep 19, 2016 5:50 PM in response to rahenyby a brody,You posted to a 7 year old operating system forum, incapable of running the latest Java. That may have something to do with it. If you are indeed running Mac OS X 10.5 something, which Tenfourfox may optimize some internet browsing, a newer operating system may benefit you on certain parts of Facebook and Youtube. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to tell us your operating system.

Sep 24, 2016 11:50 AM in response to rahenyby Klaus1,You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. It is highly recommended that you carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser. More advice here:
