Hello, After having a nightmare of a time since the last firefox update, flash is STILL continually crashing, despite me updating the thing about 5 times already. Today, I have an error message stating that it has been disabled for security. Firefox tells me I have the most up to date version. What on EARTH do I have to do to restore my browsers' functionality. As an aside, I cannot be the only person in the world who has had this disabled. So why is there not a beter explanantion of what's happened? If anyone can tell me what is going on, I'd be most appreciative

It's likely a glitch that will be resolved

People can manually update to Flash 16 https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

Firefox's Add-On page shows Flash 16 successfully updated

But the Check-Your-Plugins page does not recognize the update at all, and blocks the Check-Your-Plugins scan from working
