I am using the latest version of flash, yes I have checked it with adobe's site, and yet plugin checker insists that it is not up to date.

For your information:

Firefox V 35.0

Flash 16.0.0.287


All the latest version

hello thetaffia, as there is yet another vulnerability in flash 16.0.0.287 which is actively exploited in the wild firefox will block that version from being executed by default for your security .

in order to update your adobe flash plugin to the latest version, download it from: https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

As I have said it is the latest version, so how can I update from the latest version. The latest version showing on Adobe's website is the version I have.

OK

I have version .287, firefox plugin checker says, go update as it is not the latest version, I install that version it tells me to, guess what, it is version .287.

So tell me how I can update the latest version to an even later version that does not exsist

Just delete my account as this is a waste of time as I do not have flash on auto update as is my choice.

It is not, it is only available for those who have auto update turned on, I do not, so that info is not accurate
