Uninstall flash, it is almost entirely composed of security vulnerabilities. There are hundreds, probably thousands. Use HTML5 instead, it won't murder your computer.
Ignore the above post by carbohydrates as he is spreading fud about Flash even when it is updated and HTML5 is unfortunately in limited use compared to Flash.
I am running the latest available Shockwave Flash plugin 11.2.202.491. It was last updated 17 July. But still every single time I go to a website which uses Flash Firefox asks me to accept the security exposure. How, short of running Windoze, can I gain access to current level support for Flash?
11.2.202.491 is indeed the current version for Linux from Adobe as it came out the same week the updates for Windows and Mac OSX did.
The 11.2.202.491 is not on blocklist so it should not be getting soft blocked (click to play) https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/blocked/

Either you still have a older version installed also if you are getting the click to play or some sites are doing their own blocking of older branches of Flash.
Type about:plugins in Location (address) bar to see what your Firefox has found and using and where it is located.
It is definitely a message from Firefox, not the web-site.
