6.) Browse to where you installed Flip
I try to browse for Flip and the program refuses to bring up Flip.
Did you first install FLIP?
The link to FLIP provided on the firmware page is outdated. It only takes you to the front page of Atmel's website.
Here's an updated link to the download page for FLIP:
http://www.atmel.com/tools/FLIP.aspxFLIP requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run.
If you already have a JRE installed, download "FLIP 3.4.7 for Windows (
requires Java Runtime Environment)".
If you do not have a JRE yet, download "FLIP 3.4.7 for Windows (Java Runtime Environement
included)" instead.
Note that, from time to time, the version number of FLIP will increase, but I will not update the text of this post to reflect that. 
To start each download, click the icon next to its description text on the download page.
