How do I correct the readout "blocked plug-ins"?
Suddenly, I cannot watch any moving material(BBC News, YouTube, etc.). A few days ago everything was fine. I have the latest Adobe Flash Reader. What to do?

I was able to update Flash on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8) from the Apple menu -> System Preferences /Other -> Flash Player -> Advanced /Updates by clicking on "Check Now" and then following the prompts (I have Safari as my default browser, if it makes a difference). I haven't tried yet with the latest update but it's another way to update Flash on a Mac.

If you need more help with Flash, see Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems
You should also update Firefox, since version 33 is insecure. See Update Firefox to the latest release

Flash has had many vulnerabilities revealed within the past day or two. It is insecure. You will have to wait, or do what I would do in that situation and uninstall Flash altogether. Use HTML5, it is a VASTLY better technology.
you can download the latest versions of the plugin (which are not blocklisted) from adobe's site: https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
