Firefox is flagging Adobe Flash Player as being vulnerable even though I have the latest version installed. Why is that?
I have the latest version of Adobe Flash installed 18.0.0.203 - this is confirmed on both the adobe site and the Firefox add-ons page. Yet, I continue to get the message saying Flash Player is vulnerable...

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

Sorry for the inconvenience. 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.
