flash player 16.0.0.296 says up date now but won't fully update unless firefox is closed but when i close firefox it still says it needs updated. why?
my plug-in update checker has been working fine so i know that is not the problem. the problem is that when i update my flash player id will either stop at 95% or 96% and will remain that way till i close firefox and when i close firefox it then finishes updating but then when fierfox reopens it says that it still needs updated. i have never had this problem before so why now?
here is a screenshot and to see the screenshot just copy and past this link http://i.imgur.com/MafjKdn.png

hello courtney-jane16, unforunatley the result of the plugin-check page is correct, there has been yet another vulnerability found in adobe flash player 16.0.0.296 which is already exploited in the wild. see the security advisory: https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsa15-02.html
there is no fix for it released by adobe yet and the update button on the plugin check site will lead nowhere at the moment - so it's best to set the shockwave flash plugin to ask-to-activate in the firefox addons > plugins panel!
