How do I update Adobe Flash Player when Firefox is blocking this update?

nanemy1854

When I get to the box that says Save or Cancel the update, and I click on Save, Firefox then gives me a message that says my flash player has been blocked for my protection. When I go through the procedure to update Flash Player, the same thing happens, like a loop.

hi, the latest version of flash that you should update to is Flash Player 18.0.0.194 - it fixes various vulnerabilities that are actively exploited in the wild. if you have problems with the normal update, then try to use the adobe offline installer available at https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html instead - for firefox please choose the windows exe-installer for plugin-based browsers on that site.
