I did get one connection to Save but that apparently did not work. The last time time I had to upgrade Shockwave Flash I had to go to Dell Support and they had trouble too. Firefox is said to have 16.0.0.235. Is there another link to use to upgrade Shockwave Flash? I had Windows 7

The last link he posted had the updated Flash versions 16.0.0.235 and the 13.0.0.259 ESR for Win/Mac. http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

By the way the 15.0.0.239 you were trying to install is vulnerable along with a bit newer version 15.0.0.242 however users who have 15.0.0.246 is not vulnerable.

hello, adobe has released a critical patch for a vulnerability in its flash plugin, which is reportedly already exploited in the wild. therefore firefox will block insecure versions from running by default on websites for your protection. https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb14-27.html https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/blocked/p798

please update to Adobe Flash Player version 16.0.0.235 as soon as possible, which you can download from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (use the windows-exe for plugin-based browsers).

I cannot find a download folder for Adobe Flash Player. I only find Adobe Reader.

Finally went on internet and found mention of the arrow in the upper right of the screen and was eventually able to find the download folder and download the latest upgrade.

Thank you for this support help. It took some time but helped tremendously.
