    My company blocks flash in the office :(

    And I need admin rights to install it on my computer. Is there any way of putting firefox and flash on a thumbdrive and take it to work? I need my daily youtube.

    Firefox yes, flash I don't think can be made portable to compliment the portable firefox.
    Nothing here right now.

    If they blocked it, its obviously for a reason. Going around this, might cause you to loose your job or such. Why not just youtube @ home?

    I would imagine it's because they don't want staff watching the likes of youtube when they're supposed to be working

    The Flash player is a downloadable application from the Adobe website - http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/

    However, if flash is blocked on your computer systems, it's likely you won't be able to install it successfully.

    Yeah, but when you're bored in the office and theres nothing to do, all you have is FB and youtube really.

    Sure there is, but I'd rather chose how I use my time to work and if I can deliver on time, why not have more time for relaxation

    That's a perk you only get when you become your own boss

    LoL , funny thread. Isn't the point of going to work is to work ? Not watch youtube, maybe give your boss a shout and ask if you can do any extra work may get you a bonus

    Your company has security restrictions in place for a reason and you should respect them. If you find these are too impeding on your work style, you should consider finding another job.
