Adobe flash is not up-to-date. So firefox keeps nagging at me every site I go about it not being up-to-date.

When I go into the plugin options, the "always activate" option is greyed out.

hello wadarkhu, adobe has released a critical patch for a vulnerability in its flash plugin, which is reportedly already exploited in the wild. therefore firefox will block insecure versions from running by default on websites for your protection. https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsb14-27.html https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/blocked/p798

please update to Adobe Flash Player version 16.0.0.235 as soon as possible, which you can download from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html (use the windows-exe for plugin-based browsers).

I could not, for the life of me, find that update site you linked in the lower chapter.

I googled for it, I googled forums with questions for its location, I searched my computer for flash for an update application, none. All I got, was some crappy grey site, that allowed me to download an installer in the wrong language, and running that installer never did anything except crash. Probably infected my system or something. (And I found it from adobe.com.)

No wonder Flash is struggling to be popular. You can't even find the program. Thanks for the link.
