johnoo Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I'm trying to use a certain web site using Firefox Browser. The web site is the BT Wholesale Speed Checker F.Fox will not allow this to run as I have not got Adobe Flash Player installed. But when I come to install AFP it also trys to install some Mcfee anti virus software that I do not want. So how do I get AFP without these add ons? Or should I just forget about AFP/does it cause problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 The only thing I can suggest johnoo is go directly to Adobe website for the download. To many of these other sites try to bundle other software into the downloads. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalph Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I'm very surprised that Adobe are bundling other manufacturers software in with there downloads. I just updated mine a couple of day's ago and it went smooth. No bundled software at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tried again, out of interest, & in addition to downloading Adobe Flash it also trys to download McFee Security scan plus & True Key by Intel. I aborted & will get to the web site I want via Win 10 Edge or IE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 You can untick the other software and just download flash - that's what I did last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 As Adobe Flash Player is obsolete and has been for a couple of years the general advice from Adobe is to uninstall it, which I have and that brings up another issue I can run BT Speedchecker on Firefox without AFP. So can't say what your issue is. Which version of Firefox do you have installed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pewpewmarc Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Quote The web site is the BT Wholesale Speed Checker If BT wholesale speed checker is the website, I looked it up on google and this is the current URL: https://speedtest.btwholesale.com and as far as I can tell, it works swimmingly and properly, it looks good and modern now, doesn't require flash anymore, probably runs on HTML5, CSS, and javascript now. 😉 I also ran it on the most current version of firefox as of august 2022. I even ran a speedtest. I also found a recent relevant article on the site redesign in case someone needs it: https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2020/04/bt-wholesale-uk-broadband-checker-gets-new-lick-of-paint.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
