Firefox has just informed me that Shockwave flash extension V11.2.202.481 has been blocked by mozilla, this is the most RECENT version of the flash plugin available for linux which was installed on 09/07/2015.

Since this block everytime i goto a page that has a flash video i get a unsafe addon "adobe flash" notification at the top of the screen.

How do i globally disable this block to stop this notification from appearing and also to stop mozilla from blocking this plugin in the future when no update is available.

Even your plugin check page tells me that flash is up to date and that no upgrade versions are available.

Unfortunately, the most recent version of Flash is known to be vulnerable and there is no update. Can you live with click-to-play for a few days until Adobe issues a new plugin?

If you are not accustomed to using the "Ask to Activate" feature for a plugin, here's what to expect:

When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.

If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click the Lego-like icon in the address bar to allow Flash.

But the page might be using Flash only for tracking or playing a video ad. If you don't see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification, it will just sit there in case you want it later.
