A few websites are not allowing me access until I download the most recent update for adobe flash. So I did, though after the fact the websites aren't recognizing that I have. Didn't know if it was you or the other websites. haha I'd really rather not start using chrome so please help if possible.

Well Chrome is a fine browser.

 After you closed Firefox and ran the update, it then should have finished and opened the default browser to the Adobe web site that has a spinning box, this will say you are up to date. Did this happen for you.
 If so then I would check Windows list of installed program and see if you have flash and see if that date corresponds with the day you updated. The version number should be 10.3.183.7

I figured it out, it never re-enabled itself after it updated. haha I kept checking the version and I was so confused why it wasn't working. Under closer investigating I realized it was correct and just disabled. Thanks guys!
