How to install the current Flash player into Chrome Portable/Firefox Portable on Windows

  1. Download the current Flash Player as xpi package from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/xpi/current/flashplayer-win.xpi
  2. Rename the package's extension from .xpi to .zip
  3. Open the zip package and extract files flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll.
  4. For Chrome Portable: put extracted files into folder Chrome\plugins
  5. For Firefox Portable: put extracted files into folder App\Firefox\plugins
The current Flash player has now been installed into your portable browser. Let's verify the correctness of the installation.
  1. (Re)start your browser
  2. Type about:plugins in the address bar
  3. A list of installed plugins appears. Verify that Shockwave Flash is present and that there is an entry with MIME type application/x-shockwave-flash and suffix swf.
