Obsolete blocking message - Flash Player Plugin between 11.0 and 11.7.700.169 (click-to-play) has been blocked for your protection.
I cannot play Flash videos on any website using Firefox 35.0.1
The current Shockwave Flash version is 16.0.0.296 as of 2015-02-12.
The blocking message is obsolete, because it refers to a much earlier set of versions of Flash. Does every version of Flash have a vulnerability, or are there some that are actually clean (for more than a few seconds)?
Can somebody fix the blocking message to reflect the real reason for blocking?
Where can I find a version that is not vulnerable, or is that a pipe-dream?

Because 16.0.0.296 is not the current as it is vulnerable to a critical exploits proven in wild. The Flash Player 16.0.0.305 and 13.0.0.269 ESR are the current versions for Windows/Mac OSX since Feb 4/5.

Most Adobe Flash Player updates are for security reasons along with stability fixes. However before December 9, Mozilla had not added any Flash versions to blocklist since early 2013. The reason now is due to critical exploits that is in older versions (not with fixes) and Adobe has been trying to fix them with five updates for Flash 16.0 itself since Dec 9. Mozilla only adds Extensions and Plugins versions to list when it is of serious security, stability or malware.
As to why some get the old Flash 11 blocklisting I cannot say.

Thanks for the information about how to get the most recent version of Flash. Updating from within Firefox only got me to 296, and then claimed it was up to date, just a few minutes before I posted the question. Clearly it was days out of date.
The obsolete blocking message seems to have been mentioned, in slightly different terms, by quite a few people over the past several months. It would seem to me that the linkage between blocking decisions and the message to the users is weak.
