why is there a sudden issue with flash? there's no update and it keeps telling me to update it.
it says there's a security flaw/vulnerability and now there's a forced ask to activate and protected mode enabled on the browser. this was sudden as in within the last hour or so of being online and i've been online all night. it keeps wanting me to update it and says it needs to be updated BUT there is NO new update and i have the most current update! WTF?!

All versions of the Flash plugin have been disabled (blocklisted) by Mozilla because of disclosed security vulnerabilities in the plugin that Adobe needs to address via a security update.

- bug 1182751 - (CVE-2015-5122) Blocklist vulnerable versions of Flash Player plugin (18.0.0.203 and lower)
