How can I get Firefox 4 to recognize that I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player
Firefox 4 refuses to play video clips. I get a box telling me that I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. I just downloaded 10.3 and is yet to play video clips.
You do not have Flash installed for Firefox. If you did you would see "Shockwave Flash (version number)" under modules > Plugins. You can see the Plugins reported with your question; Click on 'more system info... '. "to the right of your original question.
There are 2 versions of Flash, a single IE (ActiveX version) and for most other browsers like Firefox (plug-in version). You must update each individually.
To install or update Flash:
- using Firefox download and save Flash from this link (save to your desktop; easier for you to find): get.adobe.com/flashplayer
- When the download is complete, close Firefox (click Firefox > exit OR file > exit, if you use the Menu bar)
- Click or double-click the file that you just downloaded
- on the left side of the installation window, place a check in the box "I have read and agree."
- Click the Install button at the bottom right of the installation window. It comes on after you put the check mark in the previous step
- Let the complete installation; It's fast
- using Firefox to test your installation of Flash here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
- for IE, repeat the process, but use IE to go to the site in step 1.

Not related to your question, but...
You must update some plug-ins:

I tried and tried to get the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on Firefox, but it won't take. Tried through update on the plugin page, tried through the Adobe Web site and still no luck. I listed 18.0.0.232 version on my desktop, but it does not appear on Firefox. Anyone has an idea why not?
You can download the 18.0.0.232 version here.
https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.htmlDesinstaller.209 and then installer.232.
BTW, Firefox needs a different version of Flash that IE uses and different from the one that use Chrome.

I have the latest version of Adobe Flash installed 18.0.0.203 - this is confirmed on the adobe site and the Firefox Add-ons page. Yet I continue to get the message saying that Flash Player is vulnerable...
All versions of the Flash plugin was disabled by Mozilla because of a security breach disclosed in the plugin that Adobe needs to address via a security update.
- bug 1182751 - vulnerable versions of Blocklist (CVE-2015-5122) of the Flash Player plugin (18.0.0.203 and less)

After update of mozilla firefox and come here to help another user pointed out that I had several Flash plugins below. Before updating, I was updating from mozilla firefox and Adobe. Of course, things were NOT up-to-date. I managed to delete the obsolete Flash and Adobe Flash Player plugins. I just want to know what that "more" updated the plugin and the player are while I know that I have the last and am new. I do the last firefox update now and I use Windows 7. Thank you! You people here are the best!
Note that your system details list shows several Flash plugins.
Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0 Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0
The plugin for Firefox is called Shockwave Flash and the latest version is 17.0.0.188
When it installs, Flash by default to update automatically, but if you need to manually update, you can use one of these pages:
- https://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/ (uncheck all the unwanted extras)
- https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (one for the browsers 'plugin')

How can I download the latest version of adobe flash player?
When I try to play a game on facebook, it says I need to use the version update to adobe flash player, I am running windows 7.

It could be a coincidence, but when I upgraded to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262 I can not play games with my friends on Yahoo Messenger. I know that when I've updated for a reason that I had to try 3 times before it took. It shows that it is updated. I wonder if I have to uninstall and reinstall. Also, I never use Internet Explorer 8 but when I went there to check I found a plug check link there and it showed over there that Adobe Flash Player necessary update but it was an older version and not a Foxfire had updated me too. Now I'm really confused if it causes a problem. I've never had to control Internet Explorer for plug-ins before. Have always just updated to Foxfire since that's what I use. Adobe Flash Player seems to play videos OK not really sure if this is the issue or not. My Java plug-ins have been very well and have been updated some time there, so I know it's not that. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
Hey again,
After hours of reading and checking to make sure I had good things enabled, I did, I gave up and uninstalled the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, they gave me and re-installed and later I had my friend get on Messenger and we tried games and it worked this time.
For some strange reason when I updated it took me 3 tries before it took. So even if he told me that it has been installed, apparently it wasn't really. Just goes to show you that you can not trust what you see.
What has really scratching my head was I went to Internet Explorer 8, which I never use more and discovered you can now get Mozilla plug in slip out there and when I did showed that same Adobe Flash Player is outdated but it was to a different version. Not knowing if it would help, I installed a new too and he said it was his understanding that it does not. So I guess you can have 1 version installed on the computer 1 despite 2 browsers different different versions. It becomes too complicated for me. Laughing out loud!
I work with computers all the time at work but not the technical stuff. If it's something simple, I can guess through it to help someone but it's my first personal computer for me and is a former first, so I got experience using different types. We use the desk at work as well. Personally, I like computers laptops for various reasons. And the mention of people many browsers go way over my head.
Please answer this question though and you answer back.

Have a new 6s, but cannot get it to sync with iTunes on my Mac. Both systems have system updates (and confirm the latest version). How can I update iTunes on my phone when he said the latest version?
The message to update iTunes refers to iTunes on your Mac - is your Mac on a high enough version of Mac OS X to support the required iTunes version? If this isn't the case, then your Mac can be changed?

The new version of Adobe Flash works in Safari. Apple thought that the old version of Adobe Flash had compromised safety, so Mac users can no longer use the old versions of Adobe Flash. A few settings in Firefox are not letting the update to the latest version of Adobe Flash work.
New version: 11.6.602.167

Why firefox did block the latest version of adobe flash 22.0.0. 192 ?
Because it is affected by critical vulnerabilities and is not the current version. The current version has been 22.0.0. 209 since July 12. https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
