Whenever I use firefox to view bbc iplayer it requires me to install adobe flash - every session! Why can't it keep the installaton current - apart from which adobe flash is already installed on my pc. Making me do a new installation each time is driving me nuts!

Flash is now click-to-activate. You have to activate it each time you want to use it.
