On my Firefox plugin page, it says that my Flash Player plugin is vulnerable to malware and needs to be updated. When I click on the blue "Update" link, it takes me to the plugin check page. The plugin check page tells me that in order to check if any plugins need to be updated, I must first install Firefox on my computer, but obviously, I've already installed Firefox and I'm using Firefox to view these pages! When I go to the Add-ons page, to my installed plugins, and check for updates there, it says no updates are available. How am I supposed to update my Flash Player plugin? Nothing works because Firefox has already disabled the out of date Flash plugin!! Thank you, Jessica

Do this instead;

Flash: Grab the uninstaller from here: Uninstall Flash Player | Windows Uninstall Flash Player | Mac

Then reinstall the latest version.

Note: Windows users should download the active_x for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the active_x.

Flash Player Version: 23.0.0. 205 Flash Player (Linux) Version 11.2. 202.643
