Play Flash Games from a USB Drive

It’s easy to save Flash web games to your USB flash drive for play without an Internet connection.

You will need:

• USB Flash Drive
• Mozilla Firefox
• Mozilla Firefox Portable (for USB Drive)

1. Visit https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/201/ and download the DownThemAll extension for your home version of Firefox.
2. Navigate to the website where your Flash game is located.
3. Press Ctrl+U to call up the page’s HTML source.
4. Press Ctrl+F to call up the “Find” dialog. Type “.swf” (the extension for Flash files) and press Enter.
5. Scan through the document until you find the Flash file for the game (it should have the game’s name in its filename)
6. Copy the full URL of the Flash file.
7. In Firefox, navigate to Tools>DownThemAll>dTa! Manager.
8. Press “Add URL,” paste the Flash URL and select the Destination Path (your Flash drive).
9. Press Start.
10. Open your Flash drive and navigate to the Flash file.
11. Right-click and select “Open With.”
12. Browse to Firefox Portable, select it, and check “Always Use This Program…”
13. Now, your Flash files will always play in Firefox without having to connect to the Internet.

One last note: If you already have Firefox running on the computer when you try to access Firefox Portable, then you will receive an error message saying that an instance of Firefox is already running. This means exiting Firefox. If you don’t want to do this every time, just set .swf files to open in Internet Explorer. Use the instructions in Step 12.
