When attempting to view a video from a national news site, it tells me that my AFP needs to be updated but the Flashplayer app tells me I am up to date? What is wrong and how do I fix it?

Adobe stopped supporting the Android OS (and BlackBerry PlayBook) for a couple years now.

You can still manually install the old Flash player.

Some websites, particularly news sites tends to not support older Flash player branches like the old Flash player 11.1 for Android and BlackBerry PlayBook and even the 11.2 esr branch still supported by Adobe on Linux.
