Hello my dear,

It is very easy to solve this problem, and it is very common. The browser will only download things if it is set to “default” in settings. If you have made Firefox your default browser and are trying to download a file on Internet Explorer, then Internet Explorer will show this error. Only Firefox will able to download it. So, simply make Internet Explorer your default browser, then try to download something. When you open Internet Explorer. It will ask you, "Do you want internet explorer as your default browser?" Just click yes and enjoy. Now, go to http://www.adobe.com to download Flash Player.

Thanks.

That is the default behavior of all web browsers so you can make them the default browser on your computer. Even if Microsoft Internet Explorer keeps prompting you to make it the default browser, you really don’t have to if you already have a default browser set on your computer. You can ignore the prompts or just disable it in the browser so it stops prompting you.

To disable the message, in Microsoft Internet Explorer, go to “Tools” then “Internet Options”. In “Internet Options” screen, select “Programs” tab. Under “Default web browser” section, uncheck “Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the default web browser” then click “OK”.

This should disable the message that keeps asking you to make it the default web browser. Now, since you want to install the Flash Player plug-in for Microsoft Internet Explorer, download Adobe Flash Player ActiveX. This is the Flash Player plug-in designed to work on Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you have Mozilla Firefox, it requires the Adobe Flash Player NPAPI.

For browsers such as Google Chrome, the Opera browser, and other Chromium-based web browsers, you should install Adobe Flash Player PPAPI.
