I need help with not blocking flash

Hello, I work in an environment that has around 100 computers. Half of those are in a lab. We have recently started having an issue where firefox will automatically start blocking outdated versions of flash. While I know that this is completely for security reasons, I am not always able to update them all at the same time or day. When this happens it confuses our patrons to no end, and they think they have caused the error. Even if they update that session, once they log out all files are restored and lose the flash update. I need to know of a way that will allow firefox to use outdated versions, without prompting the user to allow it. No interaction required once a new version comes out.
